  • GREAT BOOK
Format: Spiral-bound
I find the book to be extremely helpful and easy to understand. The video allows me to watch and correct any mistakes that I may have made. I want to thank you for writing this book. I have every intention to buy the rest of the series. Of course, I have to finish this one first. PS. My work is suffering since I work a bit less and spend more time at the piano ... show more

  • Great Book for Beginners!
Format: Spiral-bound
I bought this book and a digital piano a couple of years ago. It sat for two years. I just recently started learning with this book. In just an around 3-4 weeks I’ve learned so much. I already know how to read the treble clef staff and how many beats a note is, so I did start with a small amount of knowledge. Everything else was learned through this book. It does require practice of course, however, it guides you with illustrations and videos that go along with the book. I highly recommend! ... show more

  • Best beginner book ever for Kids OR Adults!
Format: Spiral-bound
FIRST! Yes. The cover picture is IDIOTIC! Why such an OUTSTANDING BEGINNER PIANO BOOK would use a drawing that doesn't begin to depict an actual piano is BEYOND me. THAT being said, I've read EVERY "#1" rating and they're ALL STUPID! I was an outstanding, pianist in high school selected for a select month-long summer program at a well-known music school before my senior year. I decided life in a practice wasn't for me. I liked dancing better and danced with a group at a major university for a semester before I got married then later had 3 brilliant kids (2 got perfect math SAT scores, 2 played piano for a few years, all played band instruments, 1 getting scholarship money in trombone & academics) & I went to med school when they were 4, 6 & 9. I say all this to show I STRONGLY believe music and high academics go hand in hand. I purchased this book for 2 of my granddaughters, 7 & 8. (I have 7 gkids 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11.) I'm currently helping out of son who has the 7, 9 & 11yos & teaching the 7 yo. I've encouraged the brilliant 9yo boy who's interested in "mixing" to also let me teach him piano to enhance his ability in that area & to prepare him for whatever band instrument he chooses in middle school as he'll already be able to read music. I'm teaching the 8yo via Skype by having a book myself so I can go over the music with her. As the girls began at the same time, they somewhat compete with each other via the Skype lessons and want to stay at the same level. I REALLY like the idea of learning the 5-note scales in the beginning to build "muscle memory" early on and encourage the kids to learn how their fingers feel on the notes without looking at the keys as well as possible. It all depends on how much they practice. I also like the incorporation of simple songs mixed in with the exercises. I purchased the stickers for the keys that are placed above where you placed your fingers so they can learn where the notes are easily. I'd have liked those and HIGHLY recommend you get those for your beginner student. Once no longer needed they're easily removed. IGNORE THOSE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! THEY'RE CLUELESS! ... show more

The media could not be loaded. I’m so happy to have it. The only problem that there was was that it was all bent up, but in all, I’m thankful to have it.

  • Know How to Type? This Method is Perfect for You!
Format: Spiral-bound
I've made a couple of attempts in my life to teach myself the piano, but with this method, I already feel like I have a better understanding and better technique than before. I learned to touch type decades ago, and this approach is very similar--you start by learning the "home row". The exercises keep a good pace. I found it takes about a week to master each lesson, and the next lesson always looks intimidating, and yet... by the end of the following week, I can play those new exercises almost perfectly. I will definitely be buying more in this series. ... show more

  • Fair book
Format: Spiral-bound
It's a fair book, but I wouldn't recommend for a first book. The format is a little scattered, and if you can't already read sheet music you're going to struggle. It has a lesson on reading, it's just laid out in a fashion that doesn't lend itself to easy study. Good material. Scattered format.

  • Highly Recommend
Format: Spiral-bound
This is an excellent book and also has videos you can view online. I played piano when I was younger then took a long (very long) layoff for kids and career. This book is really helping me relearn how to play and read music.
