instruction goes too fast, and a little too advance for "real" beginners. i think it will be useful after getting other beginner lessons first.

Not taught very well. Here is why: the instructor explains a concept then plays it on the piano, but when he does the video shot you see shows him playing the piano with his fingers covering up the keys so that you can't see what keys he is playing; so you can't determine what you should be doing. He DVD, Learning piano with Pete Sears shows you graphics of what keys are being struck, but Sears' DVD has the problem that it is not a beginners level DVD- it is intermediate level. The Leonard DVDs no attempt to teach you how to read music, concepts are covered too fast and the viewer has a hard time following it due to the cursory coverage of each concept. You can get some concept of what topics are covered by the following chapter index of the DVD: The basics, the right hand, the left hand, rests and the grand staff, musical intervals, the C major chord, notes A and B, eighth notes, G position, the major scale, black keys and new chords, Notes D and E, More new notes, Key signatures, the Grand finale.
