5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent beginner book,

This review is from: Piano Student / Primer Level (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for young kids beginning to learn the piano. It starts with very simple tunes and gradually introduces more complex elements. Kids who are just beginning to learn the piano can have the pleasure of playing tunes rather than doing monotonous mechanical finger work. However, I am not a musician by a long shot and we do not intend to make our kids into concert pianists. We want our kids to have fun and to learn and enjoy music and this book works wonderfully for us.

Pedagogically Sound/But Some Songs are Outdated,
By Piano Teacher (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Piano Student / Primer Level (Paperback)
This is by far the best book that you could use for beginning students. It is not overly busy with distracting pictures and too much writing in the margins, like many new books, a huge drawback to the new methods out there... This book has a simple clean font. It has pictures but they are not too busy! It follows a slow and logical progression. This books uses an effective technique of mirroring, where one piece is played in the right hand and then a similar piece is introduced "mirrored" in the left hand. This seems to work very well with my students My biggest concern is that there are a couple of pieces that are somewhat un-politically correct for nowadays. If the publishers could change the wording in those two songs, this book would get 100 percent from me. It really is the best one out there. However, still waiting for something as good to come along that is more hip with the times.

This review is from: Piano Student / Primer Level (Paperback)
this book was not what I thought it would If you had a complete set, (of about 15 books) then it would be fine. But by it's self it is incomplete.
