5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have For Beginning Piano Students, March 9, 2008

By	History Buff - See all my reviews

I am an adult beginner and using the Alfred Basic Adult course books. I like this 'Finger Aerobics' book and I use it every day in conjunction with the lesson book. I use the exercises in this book as warm-ups because it gets my mind thinking about which fingers play which notes before I open up and review lesson material.

Highly recommend this book for piano students of any age, young or old. My kids who are also piano students, have fun with this book as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great exercise for the untrained fingers, August 12, 2008

By	sedona artist "CJS" (Sedona, AZ) - See all my reviews

Never played piano in my life. I used this book in conjunction with Play Piano Now Book 1 of the Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course. The exercises are easy to learn and understand. I have memorized the warm ups by using them every day. My fingers behave themselves now when I sit down to practice. I'm moving on to Play Piano Now Book 2. Woohoo! Not bad for a great grandma.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, But, February 27, 2009

By	Bobbie C (Florida) - See all my reviews

I like this book for the older students. Age 7 up. A little too much for the 5-6 group.
