Good book, a little dry,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basics of Keyboard Theory, Level 1 (Paperback)
Our private piano lesson teacher recommended this book for my 6 year old girl. It has a clear layout and is a good workbook. My girl who has been attending the piano conservatory for a year (in a group lesson) before this was using the Alfred books which are more "fun" with lively children-appealing pictures. This book is more dry, no child friendly pictures, just black and white but still a good book for the serious beginner pianist.
