one of the best instructional books for beginners September 17, 2007

I started taking lessons at 8, with Ferdinand Beyer's beginner's book, which deserves the highest praise, though it's not widely used in this country. After Beyer, I proceeded with this book, Burgmuller's 25 pieces. Each song has a title, and each song trains you not only technically, but how to express, how to interpret, how to use your imagination, and most of all, how to play beautifully. The pieces are easy, but they are of quality which advanced students can play them in really professional ways. That means, these pieces have depth that challenges the student's true musicality, imagination, and creativity.
I have owned this book for more than 35 years now, still in very good shape despite the heavy usage. I am much more advanced now, of course, but I still use it frequently. These pieces can be played, for their beauty, grace, and integrity, at church, wedding, etc. I can't count how many of my church congregation have expressed their appreciation whenever I played any one of the pieces. They are just such precious jewels of music.
Now I teach piano at home, and this book has been a delight for both my students and myself. I'd say these pieces are just as immortal as Bach's inventions. I'd recommend this book to anyone, from beginner to advanced students. It's for advanced beginners (if there are such thing), but very much enjoyable for even professional pianists, for whoever truly appreciates and loves music.
A must for teachers/students library January 13, 2006

I use this book for all my students and they love it! The pieces are very nice. They make learning piano technique and artistry really enjoyable. This book is for the intermediate students. Better to use this book after students learn scales, chords, and arpeggios so they can learn the pieces by recognizing patterns, which make them learn the pieces faster. Highly recommended!
great place to start July 8, 2009

I have very limited, beginning ability on the piano and with reading music. This book is a wonderful place to develop and practice. The pieces do not start out overly simple and are progressively more complex. Each piece introduces some new musical elements (accidentals, key change, triplets, etc). All exercise both left and right hands. And all are enjoyable to hear.
Because the pieces are all fairly short, I began playing from memory more than from the written music. To counter that, I suggest playing three or four during a practice session.
By the way, with a little googling you can find MIDI renditions of these songs on the internet to compare with your playing.

This is well put together. Good for reviewing the basics. Good scores and nothing terribly difficult. This book is for retention of the simplistic steps we all seem to forget. When I feel lazy this is a good piece to turn to. But I find it reminds me of the short cuts I tend to allow myself but shouldn't! Glad I have this and highly recommend it to others.
great for small hands! October 30, 2008

These are so much fun to play, and very attainable. My daughter has only been playing piano for a year, and she is very motivated to learn some of these, and is doing quite well! Again, for an experience player, these are just great for keeping up your skills and playing when time is limited. They are very enjoyable.
