5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book for beginners!, August 16, 2005

This review is from: Alfred's Teach Yourself to Play Piano (Book & Enhanced CD) (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)
This book is great for people just learning to play piano. I have a keyboard at home that I practice on. It takes you step-by-step through each phase/step, and one lesson builds on the next. I m learning a lot with this book- highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars TEACH YOURSELF, January 19, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Alfred's Teach Yourself to Play Piano (Book & Enhanced CD) (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)
Very good for beginner, my wife is happy with this purchase as she is the one teaching herself to play. The more material you can study the better off you will be, so I definitely suggest that you add this to your musical "toolbox" so to speak.

Москва (In your imagination) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alfred's Teach Yourself to Play Piano (Book & Enhanced CD) (Teach Yourself Series) (Paperback)
The pace of this book is VERY fast and it overwhelm me, and it doesn't go into detail about new music concept. For example, it said "Legato : play smoothly"

P.s get this book instead http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/088284931X/ref=oss_product
