Review:Practice makes perfect! Easy to play, easy to practice and easy to memorize. This book has clear instruction and description for the beginning players. It really helps me go from the bottom and the high smoothly because I have been practicing 3 times/ week and now I can read and play piano through half of the book without hesitation. However, it does need a little help from the instructor, if you are a freshly new piano player or you can look up youtube for more help. Overall, this book did not ... Read more

Review:[by Brooke]

The best part about these books are that they come with CDs. I have been teaching piano for more years than I care to count right now, and starting a beginner in these books is SOOO much easier than in 'Bastien' (which is also a great method, don't get me wrong, its just that (as far as I know) they do not have the added tool of the CD. ) Kids have such amazing memories that tapping in on this resource is extremely helpful.

The books say they are for 5-6 year olds but m... Read more

Review:I ordered this lesson book, along with the Primer Level Technique and Artistry, Theory, Writing Book, Performance and Popular Repertoire books for my five and six year olds, to start them out on the piano.

Review:Needed the next upgrade for our daughter's music lessons, and I didn't feel like trapcing around from store to store to get her books. Where else to look? Why Amazon, of course! It arrived, lickety-split, and she was happily playing for her teacher in no time. Highly recommend this not only as a great lesson plan, but a great way to order! Read more

Review:Great starter books. I bought these books to teach my 8 year old how to play piano. They were very easy to follow and were at a great pace!! I'd recommend them to people learning how to play piano for the first time! Read more

Review:Very useful indeed ! It also features an introduction to the blues. The organisation is both clear and suitable for consultation and learning progression. I wish the book had been more colorful even if it would have been more expensive. Read more

Review:Seriously disapointed that the cover and intro material for this does not mention that this is advanced level content. When I look at the "Dummies" series I expect it to start from sctratch not from some advanced point in the learning structure. To use this effectively (or at all) you need to be a strong intermediate player with a very solid understanding of music theory as it pertains to other instruments. From the books introduction it tells you that to use this book, You need to be able to r... Read more
