  • Very useful for beginners who need more than kid's books
I bought this book to teach some of my students who are past the little kid stage, but who still need assignments that will challenge them in accuracy and good piano mastering. I even found myself being challenged in some areas! The songs are chosen and compiled carefully and I appreciate the ordering of the songs. Very good quality and will be appreciated by those who want more than just learning songs, but want to learn about the "science" of music through songs. ... show more

  • Clean, well-edited, engaging music!
I bought this as a fun challenge for myself. I am a musician but NOT a pianist and wanted something accessible that might prepare me for more serious study later. This book is great! The pages are clean, the editing is immaculate (very clear fingerings, and and helpful performance notes). My favorite thing is that each piece has a one-sentence description of what techniques and skills each piece emphasizes. Very helpful for focused practice time! I would not say this book is for beginners though. Perhaps if you're a young person who has been taking lessons for two or so years. But I think adult beginners would struggle with the material. The tempo markings are FAST(!!) and that's a little demoralizing for me. But if you just want some fun Bach to play with all of his charming melodies and intricate dovetailing phrases in an accessible package? This is exactly the book you want! ... show more

  • Strange fingerings, but great quality print
It's a good quality book and there aren't any strange copy artifacts. Clear and easy to read, but I've had to change some of the fingerings because they didn't make sense.

  • Great place to start getting back into piano playing!!
It has been a while since I have played the piano, but after receiving a piano for Christmas I have been looking for books to work on becoming a better player. After reading the reviews of this book I decided to get it and I am feeling more confident in my playing. It starts off with a relatively easy song and works your way up to harder pieces. I am appreciating the way the book is laid out. Some books have really hard pieces to start and that can be intimidating for someone stepping back into it. Now I can play songs through without making any mistakes. If you are getting back into playing the piano and are looking for a good place to start I would recommend this book. If you are an advanced piano player this may not be the book for you; but it has many recognizable songs inside. I would recommend this book to anyone. It has been a joy to play and when other family members visit, they pick up this book and start playing from it. So far it has received a lot of use! ... show more

  • Bach is superior
This book was purchased for a digital piano that is currently in not yet. The thing with Bach is its just as beautiful to play on the piano as it is to read and see and enjoy with no instrument. If it could be a substitute for reading a book, Bach is the superior logic and critical thinking skills of the music library. My brain feels uplifted upon its open pages. ... show more

  • Bach that's well-organized for beginners to his music
This is my first time looking through Bach, and I think this is a great guide for introducing Bach to pianists. I find it curious how the tempos are marked... Minuet in G major is marked as 66bpm to the dotted half note. I have NEVER heard any version that goes this fast. Typical is closer to 50bpm to the dotted half note. For reference, that's 198bpm vs. 150bpm! There is no explanation in this book for this, so to offer a student this would be baffling. I would not recommend beginners trying this book out without seeking professional guidance from a teacher. Playing Bach can be very nuanced, and this book will not provide the necessary explanations. For intermediate pianists, I think this would be just fine as long as supplemental sources are used. ... show more
