An entertaining and inexpensive way to teach yourself piano.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Piano Playing Made Easy (Spiral-bound)
In as little as four months, with some patience and a half an hour a day, you too can learn the basics of piano playing. There are wonderfully clear written instructions and page after page of familiar tunes that will bring back memories and provide a lifetime of entertainment for anyone you play for. There are more than 50 songs including "Ode To Joy", "The Marine's Hymn", "Jingle Bells", and "Oh! Susanna". Each one is easy to play with numbers displayed for fingering and makes the beginner feel like a pro in no time. Even if you've never read music before, this book is a great value and an easy way to learn.

A Good Place To Start,

This review is from: Piano Playing Made Easy (Spiral-bound)
This review refers to "Piano Playing Made Easy"
This 64 page spiral bound keyboard instruction makes for a great guide to the very basics for the piano or keyboard beginner.The instructions are clear and simple. With patience and practice anyone, any age will be able to learn hand positions,shifts, reading uncomplicated music and notations,symbols, letter names of the notes, rhythm,long and short notes, differences between white and black keys, etc. By page 8 you will be able to put the instruction to use for some one-handed(treble clef) recognizable tunes(Hot Cross Buns,Merrily We Roll Along), and eventually you will be playing both treble and bass clef (right and left hands) together. There are MANY fun songs to fool around with The Old Gray Mare, Alouette, Clementine, Skip to My Lou, Jingle Bells.You should be able to entertain the troops at the holidays with a few carols. Most songs are helpful to the lesson at hand. There are also warm-ups exercises, and practices with chords. There is probably nothing like having an experienced player or professional teacher explaining it all to you, however this book is a good start, and may also be a very useful refresher, to those who may have taken lessons in their youth, and now want to start up again. I think it is also a good way to tell if lessons will be the next step. If your child(or you) seems to be enjoying the practicing and learning, the next step would probably be lessons. On the other hand if she has lost interest or is not enjoying it, you won't be out too much(assuming you already have some sort of keyboard for them to practice on), and maybe the exposure to it, will make them want to pick it up again later in life. The book is a soft cover but good quality.A good place to start...have fun...Laurie
