I decided to try to get back to playing the piano after many many years. I was actually very afraid of it -feeling totally illiterate and as if I had forgotten everything. This book has helped me to relearn the keyboard and even to play a few pieces. Thanks.

I am a beginner and I can understand this book very well. I do wish it had more songs in it though. It's good for getting the basics.

This book is very easy to follow along. I played flute as a child so I had a little experience reading music (at least the treble clef). It eases you into playing piano one small step at a time. The only thing I don't like is, I wish it had more practice exercises for each step than just the one. I highly recommend this book for someone with little or no experience at piano.

I liked the way the author appeared to give thought to who would be utilizing this book, easy to follow. Thanks.

This book is cool. I am an adult beginner who is trying out a Yamaha Keyboard. I just finished the third chapter and now I can figure out the music notes :D I liked the book. Apart from the quality of the content, the Print quality too is good. As of now, I don't know whether this is the best book out there for beginners or not (I think only an experienced piano teacher can comment on that aspect) and that is the only reason I am cutting one star.

Really easy to follow along with and pretty self explanatory! It has been easy so far and i have definitely seen an improvement in my playing and familiarization with the piano.

Terrific and easy to use. You need to read it ahead of time and then play and probably read it again.

Very easy to use. Very easy to follow directions. Would recommend. Excelent
