This review is from: KP1B - Bastien Piano for Adults, 1 Book Only: A Beginning Course: Lessons, Theory, Technic, Sight Reading (Spiral-bound)

Awesome book. I am about a quarter of the way in and have already made leaps and bounds in my ability. This book was recommended to me by a former piano teacher and professional musician and I would make the same recommendation.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: KP1B - Bastien Piano for Adults, 1 Book Only: A Beginning Course: Lessons, Theory, Technic, Sight Reading (Spiral-bound)

ALthough this book starts out slow for someone like myself who had taken lessons as a younger child, it gets harder very quickly and becomes challenging for someone like myself. I would highly recommend this book for any adult lookign to start playing or pick up the instrument again!

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: KP1B - Bastien Piano for Adults, 1 Book Only: A Beginning Course: Lessons, Theory, Technic, Sight Reading (Spiral-bound)

I prefer this method for teaching older children. It moves quickly enough to keep them interested, yet is inclusive of theory, technique and sightreading.
