Playing the Piano
I hadn't played the piano since I was in high school.Now in my senior years I was unable to read or play music.With this book, I am now playing music for my own enjoyment. You should buy this book if you want to learn or re-learn the paino.
Is working GREAT for us!!
I purchased this kit to help teach us how to play the piano.We just purchased a Casio Privia PX-330 keyboard and wanted to start lessons as soon as possible.I work part time with the Air National Guard and I am a fulltime student. I don't really have time for lessons so I wanted something I can do myself.This kit is amazing and really does help.I have never played any instrument before and I can't read music.This book teaches you both.Learning to play the piano is a very daunting task but it is much easier with this book.My wife and oldest son are still going to take lessons because they have the time, but I am very satisfied with learning from this book.It does a GREAT job and I would recommend it to everyone trying to learn the piano!!!Would buy again for sure!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
This book with DVD is absolutely fantastic! I never thought I would be able to learn the piano but this set makes it so much easier! The DVD follows everything in the book, page by page, with the benefit of the piano teacher providing a little more detailed information than the book provides. It's been a pleasure going from lesson to lesson always thinking that there's no way I can play what she just played. With a little time, I'm able to complete each lesson successfully and move on to the next one. The lessons are set out perfectly, growing your skills little by little. A+ in my book!! Not one regret with this purchase!!! The cost of this DVD far out weighs the cost of piano lessons. This is a steal!!!!!!!!
Great book for the adult learner
I bought this book to see if I could teach myself the basics of playing the piano. It works great for me. I am a visual learner. Yes, I like pictures. The book has drawings of correct finger position and placement. There are basic scales, songs, and lots of skill building exercises. I am very pleased with my purchase. I would buy this book again. It works for the adult who has never played the piano. It teaches you to read music!
