  • A great first step in learning to play the piano.
Consider this book the perfect "starter kit" for learning to play and enjoy the piano. The "learn-by-doing" format engages the new player very quickly, and the progression from simple to more complex patterns is very non-threatening and logical. My only suggestions would be to a.) add an illustration of starting finger positions and b.) add a longer explanation in each section for anyone struggling with the concise short explanation. All in all, this may be the optimal starting point for an ascending pianist. ... show more

  • AMAZING! I bought this EBOOK BECAUSE I have NEITHER the time nor the money necessary to take formal piano lessons not to mention the patience. With this EBOOK lesson I can practice in the privacy of my home whenever I choose how often I choose on my electric piano. If I sounds terrible no one knows but me. With the instructors YouTube video as accompaniment I'm able to glean further info and tutelage . My only real complaint which isn't the instructors fault of course is the lack of correction as to certain technical error as a learner. However I realize this course is not meant to be perfect . If I want all of that I would have to make the sacrifice of paying for piano lessons at the youngish age of 55 years of age. But I won't as long as there's awesome instructors such as Damon Ferrante. Simple easy manageable lessons. Thank You Mr. Ferrante
AWESOME, EASY, FUN INSTRUCTIONS! Very easy to understand and practice for a novice! I'm finished with the first book and getting ready to start the second part. Realistically I know I'll never be a great pianist it's just something I've wanted to be able to do since childhood but my folks couldn't afford lessons much less a piano but I'm ok with only being a mediocre player just so long as I can play. I'm 55 years young but they say where that's a Will there's a way! ... show more

I have no background in playing piano but I really want to learn. For beginners like me, this book is highly recommended since it was simple and easy to understand. I started using this book and downloaded piano application with my smartphone and it was really fun, I suggested this books to my friends too and they loved it! You guys should really try this book! They also have instructional books for playing guitars and a lot more. ... show more

  • It is extremely motivating!
One of my favorite things about Beginner Piano Elements is that it is extremely motivating! It is filled with inspiring language, easily understood graphics and creative, yet functional technique descriptions. The book provides simple, basic instruction for someone without any knowledge of the piano. I found it easy to begin and follow. The lessons advance little by little allowing the learner to progress healthfully without frustration. The book also contains helpful photos and charts that provide a visual explanation of the material. Another aspect of Beginner Piano Elements that I find to be excellent is the video that goes with each lesson. First off, the video lessons have an introduction of piano music that is quite inspiring. It really made me want to play! The videos consist of audio, visuals and text that further comprehension. Also, the videos are comfortable to listen to and provide further insight as to habits that should be followed, as well as those that should not be followed. Another bonus of the video is that you can hear what the lessons sound like which is something that really helped me. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn piano or simply brush up on old skills! ... show more

  • Good but Incomplete
The book steps you through the basics nice and slow, and you feel like you're making progress. But then the book just ends before you even learn to read a single note of actual music notation. It says to move on to book 2, but I can't find a book 2 anywhere. Reading other reviews, I wonder if the paper book is more complete than the e-book. ... show more

  • Great beginner's tool
If you are an adult dipping your toes into the proverbial pool of music this beginner's guide is the least bit intimidating. With very clear and visually effective tools, I was able to learn the basics of piano at my own pace in a manner that was not as complicated as I had initially thought. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! This guide is proof! ... show more

  • This book is wonderful
I love this book. It is easy to follow and so clear. It not only teaches technique but also how to read music and music terms in an easy to follow format. I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn piano. I loved how it introduced chords and the left hand. It is so straight to the point and so easy to follow that a person who has never taken a music class could easily follow. The video instruction is great. They show you how to hold your hand. I learned that your suppose to lift your finger after every note, something I never knew. I think this book is a five out of five and would encourage you to try it. ... show more
