  • Excellent book
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books to start learning piano. It can be combined with "The Russian School of Piano Playing". Czerny's op 599 it is also really good as well but a little bit harder. A very interesting thing from Beyer's is that there are may pieces for 3 or 4 hand to play with the teacher. Playing 4 hands it is very helpful to detect mistakes and to understand importance of tempo. ... show more

  • This book looks complicated....but surprisingly it is not!
Format: Paperback
I am currently learning piano and theory through the use of this book. The lesson is planned so that within the repetition, you'll receive a burst of "difficulty" - even something you may have not yet learned, designed to build "muscle". Just when I thought a certain section was too difficult and that I'd have to spend an absorbitant amount of my time thinking through it, the door has slowly begun to open with ease for me. I never thought that I'd get as far as I have gotten so far with this manual. ... show more

Retaking piano after leaving it for more than a decade. Brings it all right back. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to develop the skill of reading music sheets proficiently.

  • 5 star content, docked a star because of the smaller print
Format: Paperback
I need to divide this review into two parts, the actual content and the quality of this specific edition. Regarding the material, for me this is one of my most valuable piano resources. I recently started learning the piano again after a 20+ year break and this book is a great help for re-learning technique, reading low and high notes, and proper timing. One thing to be aware of is it spends a lot of time focusing on the treble clef side (high notes) which may frustrate some people. The print quality is not great and it is smaller than I would have preferred. My eyesight is decent and I don't wear glasses/contacts, and I have difficulty reading some of the exercises even in good light. This is particularly true with exercises involving eighth and sixteenth notes. That being said, the price was very reasonable so it is tough to complain too much. ... show more
