  • Great book for a student that knows their notes already
Format: Paperback
Our daughter is doing well with this book so far. Definitely a bit faster pace than other books.

  • 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

  • Perfect for beginners
A great book for beginners.

  • Great book for jumping in and getting going on piano
Format: Paperback
This is my favorite book for teaching piano to older kids, especially those who already know a little about music, can play piano a little, or just learn really quickly (my favorite for younger/slower students is Celebrate Piano). It still starts slower than I'd like - I like to get my students playing a song they like first, and start filling in the details second, but it starts them up and gets them going faster than any other method I've tried, and fits in all the important concepts, too. (Other books/methods I've tried and don't like as much: John Thompson, Alfred's, Peanuts, Usborne, Bastien, Schaum) Something I especially like about all the Faber books is that they never tie notes to a particular finger or hand position, and the right and left hand start playing together from the getgo. This avoids a lot of slowdown and temptation to quit later on. Also, in this Accelerated course, they don't waste any time playing on the black keys, as they do in the regular-speed Primer level books. The Lesson book is meant to be used as part of a set of books, but this book alone is sufficient for students on a tight budget. ... 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
