  • Excellent beginner book
I'm an intermediate pianist and people sometimes ask, "how are you able to understand this music?" I bought this book as a guide to help teach some curious listeners the basics of piano theory. I chose the accelerated lesson book instead of the adult all-in-one because it is more organized and slower paced. It is slow enough to help someone retain all the information accumulated but fast paced enough to keep a student engaged. This book is also very classical focused. I also like that it is designed for older beginners or adults instead of young beginners. I think this would be an exceptional book for an older beginner pianist with a tutor/teacher. I don't know how well it would do as a self-learning piano book. ... show more

  • A good traditional solid entry level, but enjoy Synthesia a lot more and find it more useful for my goals.
It's a good book... I kinda was looking for more of a step by step lesson plan that would have me with some solid basics by the time I got to the end... instead this isn't as rigid as that... it's like "here's how you read notes on a staff, and here's a simple song to play" and yes, that's definitely a good lesson, but there's no way I could be a master of that lesson after completing the lesson, so just have to repeat and repeat over and over the same really simple boring lesson before feeling really comfortable with moving forward... and really, I'm more interested in being able to play a song from memory that reading sheet music as I play... so Synthesia is really a better tool for me that I have more fun with and gets me the results I want. While this is a great starting foundation, the foundation is based on the old style sheet music which is kinda like teaching someone to read an analogue clock... sure it's nice and all, but it's not necessary, and at the end of the day I have no progress towards playing in front of other people, just progress towards a good traditional solid foundation. ... show more

  • Watch out for "International Version" when ordering
I normally love the Accelerated "for the older beginner" book to start with anyone 7 years and up, HOWEVER, I did not realize I was ordering the "International version". It's going to be okay--the songs are the same, but they call whole notes "semibreves", half notes "minims", and quarter notes "crotchets", for example. It has the terms we use as Americans under it, but unless you are from a country that uses those other terms, why confuse new students with foreign terms? My review for the non-International version would be: I have taught piano for over 20 years, and Faber's Piano Adventures is my favorite series I've ever taught out of. The only book in the series I'm not thrilled with is their primer book, so unless my student is very young, I use this Accelerated version "for the older beginner". I use it for first or second graders even. It gets you into reading notes on the staff by the second lesson. It's very well done and the songs are as musical as they can be at the level. I highly recommend this for a new student unless they are very young. ... show more
