4.0 out of 5 stars Designed for very young players, June 29, 2009
I bought the first few books in this series and found that it is tailored to the very young (i.e., those learning the difference between the left and right hand). It does seem to be nice and slow for the young (i.e., preschool up to kindergarten) learner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good companion to the lesson book, January 8, 2012
This Prep Course series is tailored to the very young, beginning piano student. So the Theory book is a wonderful companion to the lesson book to help emphasize basic concepts like left/right hand, fingering, and note length to preschoolers and early elementary students just starting their formal music education. Illustrations are cute and complement the parallel lesson in the primary lesson book. Kids get to color, draw, and learn music theory all the same time. Win-win! Note that there is also an "Activity and Ear Training" book for this level which I would also recommend (has different but equally fun stuff as the Theory book), but for some reason that book can be hard to locate here at Amazon site in the "Level A" category. Worth seeking out, though. Just make sure you don't buy either the Theory book or the Activity and Ear Training book used, or you might find them "pre-colored". Since they're essentially workbooks, a new book is the only reasonable way to go for these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piano Prep Course Theory Book, March 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Very appropriate theory book for the young beginner. It's my daughter's favorite book in the prep course series because it engages her with coloring, drawing, and writing.
