The book is fine, although it has a few too many cheesy songs like "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." The CD that comes with it is the main reason for the star deductions. I thought it would be someone simply playing the piano as a demonstration on how to play the music with perfection. Instead, it is synthesized music done on some kind of digital keyboard and it has other synthesized instruments and percussion. It's not enjoyable to listen to and not particularly instructive either. Unless you need the CD to help you hear the basic melodies of the songs contained in this book, I would buy the non-CD version.

Not much to say. I went through about ten beginner books when I was learning how to play the piano and I believe this series is probably the best organized and easiest to understand. It is best if you start at the beginning and do the entire series. Have fun makin' music!!

I love all of Alfred's Basic Adult Piano courses. I will always purchase his Adult courses. I find his courses are the best self-help adult piano teaching and I have tried many others that was a waste of my money.

Teenager loves and uses this book. She also used it for lessons at a wonderful music and art studio.
