  • Great for older beginners
I am a piano teacher, and used to use this book for years for my older and adult beginners. I ran out on this product (I used to get them a couple at a time to pass out to students, as it was hard to get), and ran into the problem of not being able to locate any more. I decided to have a look the other day, and was so happy to order more. Denes Agay makes an accompanying Technique book, but it's not available on Amazon or in the States, I think...I wish Amazon would carry that... ... show more

  • Overall this is a great method book but I wish the publisher would fix the glaring errors.
Somehow, the new, blue-covered edition acquired a bizarre error that the yellow-covered edition didn't have. Balkan Bagatelle, which is in the key of E minor, has the F# printed in the first space of treble clef rather than on the top line. Other than having a chimpanzee in charge of the new edition, I have no explanation for how or why this could have happened. All of the old timing errors from the old, yellow-covered edition have been genetically passed along to the new, blue-covered edition. There are six beats in the bass clef's last measure of White Sails - a tune that's in 5-4 time. There's a 4-4 time signature in The Birch Tree which is notated with two quarter note beats in a measure. Overall this is a great method book but I wish the publisher would fix the glaring errors that have been lurking on the pages of this method book for the past four decades. ... show more

  • Love this primer, but...
We knew we were buying this used with some flaws, but the entire book was marked up with pencil and had water damage - it was obvious this book had been through the wringer. It's a nice book for beginners - my daughter is able to teach herself new songs once she's gotten the hang of some of the starter songs. So much better than the T.V. or video game!!! ... show more
