    • Excellent for advanced beginners
This book is great for advanced beginners, or sight-reading for more skilled players. I have 3 students using it right now…

I am an adult beginner who is always on the lookout for good piano books. I've been playing for 2-3 years and progress is not as fast as I had hoped. When I saw these books edited by Denes Agay I wondered which to choose, this volume or the Easy Classics to Moderns, Volume 17. Choosing something that is going to be big struggle is going to be a dismal experience. You'll eventually get there but the myriad of mistakes and frustration is demotivating. So, I'm glad I chose this book first. The pieces are short and manageable. I'd say the best way to characterize them would be "simple, but not easy". The tunes are simple and playing hands separate is pretty easy. Playing with the hands together is where the challenge arises, but it's entirely manageable with these tunes. Bottom line, I'm glad I chose this book first. If you are debating this book or the Easy Classics to Moderns, Volume 17, I would recommend this book. You should be able to work through it in a couple weeks and it will be a confidence builder, then you can move on to the Introduction which I'm ready to do now. ... show more

    • Probably best for piano students with more one on one instruction or someone who Intermediate
I am aware now that I really needed to research a beginners music lesson plan as it has not enough variety but I am certain I will learn something about different styles

    • Starting Over
First of all, the book was in very good condition. It was exactly what I needed. I played piano for many years but after being stricken with Rheumatoid Arthritis I stopped playing for many years. I am starting over because I miss playing and I have forgotten some of my notes, my sharps, and flats, and mostly everything that go with great piano playing. The easy keyboard pieces make it very easy to get back into playing again. ... show more

"An introduction to Classics to Moderns" built my confidence to play Sonata in C by Tobias Haslinger for my piano jury. I am at the beginner's level. These pieces are so masterfully compiled, that any child or adult can start from a virtual beginner and advance to an intermediate player in just one year. ... show more

    • Great intro book!
This book is great once a piano student gets through all the initial theory and basic playing concepts. This book promotes good form. The key is not to get ahead of yourself while developing your skill. This is a great warm-up for Classics to Moderns.

    • Ideal introduction to classical piano.
Delightful introduction to classical music. My students love these pieces. I teach well rounded lessons, and before playing the pieces, we analyze the chord progressions, and they are trivially easy. The book is a great learning tool, gradually increasing in complexity.
