Customer Reviews

Very simple & easy to follow
An excellent book. My Piano tutor chose this book for me, being in my late 30's and having no previous experience of music or Piano but just a desire to learn. This book assumes you know nothing so is perfect for the absolute beginner. It quickly builds step by step so that almost straight away you are playing short pieces you recognise and very soon more challenging pieces. My only criticism is that the music pieces are rather old fashioned. Try and get the accompanying CD so that you know exactly how each piece should sound.

Easy way into playing the piano.
The author finds a nice balance between theory and practice. I had tried to teach myself for a while, but it hadn't worked out. I happened to see this book in a music shop, flicked through it and then bought it. Within days I was hooked, and haven't looked back. Recommended.

very good even if you have had limited exposure to music
I only had eight months of piano lessons when I was a child. I wasn't interested and felt I didn't have talent anyway. Now about thirty years later, my daughter is beginning lessons and loves piano. I became interested also, and have found this book very helpful in learning "on my own". At 40 years of age, I have more patience with myself than I did at age 10. Now the piano is my "toy".
