I know NOTHING about music

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I know absolutely nothing about music and yet I decided to purchase a keyboard. I've just received this book and it's amazing how simple Mr. Evans makes understanding the keyboard sound. He starts out so incredibly basic and this book is exactly what I was hoping for. I feel confident if I follow his directions I will not only be able to play the keyboard, but I'll have a basic understanding of how to read music!

VERY pleased with this purchase!

Oh goodness this is the best book to get

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2015

Oh goodness this is the best book to get. The writer is so so so good at explaining everything you need to know about notes, scales, etc. If you never took a class in your life prior this is the book you want. I already have experience reading music.. I just needed to jog my memory and this did just that! The only downfall to this book is that he doesn't teach you a lot about your left hand which is what I need to get better at. But if you need to learn everything having to do with music I'd get this. Something so confusing to some would really enjoy how he words things. Simple and straight to the point!

"Everything you need to know ..." a bit misleading

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

This product comes with an offer to obtain a free download of assisting material for the new student. However, the download is restricted to ipad, etc ... Not to a user's PC. Once the book is opened it seems that the free download is needed to obtain maximum value. That is why I give it a 3 star rating

Great learning tool!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my 86 year old stepfather who was recently given an organ. He had never had any musical training of any kind and this, purchased along with the note stickers, has really helped him understand and enjoy his new musical skill. It's a very easy to understand book filled with a large number of songs to learn. He has really benefited from it and is improving daily.

How to play the keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is the third time I have ordered this book. Gave one each to my grandsons to encourage them to play their keyboards at home. Instructions are easy to understand and gave me confidence in my ability to play my keyboard which was given to me about 4 years ago. Having had no piano lessons ever, this book walked me through the learning process. With a little dedication on my part I practiced every night for at least 1 year. What a joy!!!! I love hearing myself play!!!!

Beginners Keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am an older lady who has always wanted to play the piano. I was able to buy a lovely Casio Keyboard and was eager to begin. This is my first teach yourself piano book. It is a fun way to learn to play but still a bit advanced for me. As soon as I get all the piano basics learnd I will certainly go back to it.
