With 40 famous songs presented through large, colorful notes, and complemented by downloadable audio files, beginning pianists will engage with the fundamentals of music in an enjoyable and interactive manner. This book employs a color-coded system, designed specifically for those beginning their piano or keyboard journey. The method simplifies traditional sheet music by assigning distinct colors to different notes, creating a learning experience that is both more approachable and fun. Here's what this book offers: 🔴 40 EASY PIANO SONGS FOR BEGINNERS: It features a wide array of simple tunes, ranging from popular children's songs and nursery rhymes to easy-to-play classical pieces, alongside timeless evergreens, and festive Christmas carols. 🟠 FUN COLOR-CODED CUT-OUTS: Enhance your learning experience with playful, color-coded cut-outs that you can easily tape to your piano keys. These visual aids reinforce the color system, making it even easier to match notes to keys and accelerate your learning process. 🟡 NOTES FOR BOTH HANDS: To encourage proper technique from the start, the pieces include notes for both hands. This approach fosters full keyboard familiarity, avoiding the common beginner’s habit of using only one hand or the index finger. 🟢 LARGE PRINT AND CLEAR LAYOUT: The book utilizes a large font and a clean layout for each song, making reading easier and learning more accessible, ensuring a frustration-free experience. 🔵 BONUS: DOWNLOADABLE AUDIO FILES: Unsure how a piece should sound? Access our bonus audio files to familiarize yourself with each song's melody, rhythm, and tempo. Dive into the vibrant world of music and piano! Purchase this book NOW!

  • Fun, Easy Way to Start Playing Piano - Great for Kids and Adults!
This beginner piano book is fantastic! As an aunt learning alongside my young nieces and nephews (ages 4 & 5), I'm amazed at how quickly we've progressed. The color-coded system with attachable key labels makes it incredibly easy to start playing recognizable tunes almost instantly. The book is visually appealing with large fonts and beautiful colors (They addressed all the complaints that I read in the comments), making it engaging for children. It includes more songs than expected, which is a great bonus. My nieces and nephews' confidence has soared as they can play fun, familiar songs right away. ... show more

  • Great way to start learning piano!
Recently purchased this book and found it to be a fun (and quite easy) way to start learning piano! It’s full of easy to follow songs with color-coded notes making it great for starting out or just getting back into it. Downloadable audio files definitely help!

  • Fun book for very early beginners
I enjoyed the selection of songs within these books - there was an impressive mix. I think it's an interesting idea to include both christmas and other easy songs in the same book - not every parent wants to purchase seperate christmas books especially when kids may be at an entirely different level by the next christmas. The colored notes was interesting and I think the association will truly help children quickly learn the songs and have something fun to show off this holiday season. However, I think the design needs just a tweak. The yellow was very light and bright, and was different to see. Any yellow notes were difficult for me to see in multiple areas of lighting, so those notes could sometimes be a guess. In future editions, I hope they change to a shade that can be seen in any lighting - maybe more of a yellow orange? Or else outine the notes in some way. Fun purchase, I wouldn't use this in official piano lessons, but if your child is interested in learning a handful of songs and you're not ready to commit to weekly lessons and payments this could be a great option to build practice skills and try the instrument out! ... show more

  • No stickers!
No stickers in the book! The instructions ask you to cut out a page of the book (with sheet music on the back), cut out the small labels and use tape to stick them on your keyboard.

  • Absolutely amazing book
Absolutely amazing book, which is suitable not only for children but also for adults who dream of learning to play the piano! High quality edition, convenient size of the book. The use of colors in the notes is a complete breakthrough, the whole world is used to play black and white notes, while it turned out to be possible to use colors. My 10 y.o. daughter reacts very positively to learning by colors and I can't imagine a better music notebook today for easy and interesting learning of notes and melodies. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Pages have been updated!
I read other reviews that said that the cut out notes were on the back of a song - they’ve updated the book! I turned mine into stickers but it would be nice if they came like that. Also, the red and orange are too close in color so it’s easy to confuse the two. Otherwise, my boys love this book and it’s been great for their continued learning. ... show more

  • Nice but limited
I liked the idea and is great for someone like me who struggles to see the notes on the staff. But is is not inclusive enough for left and right hands for someone really wanting to learn to play the piano. I wish that someone could make a piano book like that with colored notes for an adult with visual problema ... show more

  • This book assumes you understand Sharps and Flats..
I bought this for my 4 yr old granddaughter, thinking she could get the idea of notes related to music sheet by the colors.. She is not ready for sharps or flat notes yet, or even two hands which this book has as apart of their repertoire. So, this is not a “first experience” piano book in my opinion. Also, there are not round stickers available as cover photo would suggest. There are square cut outs that you need to use your own tape with and no colors to denote where the sharp or flat is located which you need to know to play some of the songs.. ... show more
