Recommended by my piano teacher. Started working with this book a few weeks ago, have made it through the first few exercises. Great book for someone who has been playing for a few years, but still wants to get better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong book, January 18, 2009

By	Marcelo G. E. Pinto "MMP" (Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the book expecting to find a specific leed sheet for my study. However, for my mistake, the book is made for beguinners. Maybe, Amazon could inform the contents of the book. It would help !
