5 out of 5 stars Great Beginner's Piano Book   June 29, 2006

This book is wonderful to begin teaching young children the rudiments of piano playing. The children are most excited when they have to play their parts while I play the accompaniment. These 'duet' sessions have generated much joy, laughter and fun, which is what music should be to children.

If your child requires more challenging work, I would suggest using this book in tandem with another book like from Michael Aaron's series or John Thompson's "Teaching Little Fingers to Play".

I love it. Students learn the notes one-by-one in songs with duet accompaniment. There are work pages to do along with songs to play. The book is colorful and fun to look at. The progression moves along slowly so that each concept is learned; while at the same time students are playing songs each week and feeling much success. I like it a lot better then the old Thompson series.

I've been teaching my 5-year-old to play and she has progressed quickly using this book. I've been playing since I was 4 myself, but I haven't taught music to anyone. This has been easy to use and I like that it comes with accompaniments to each piece that I can play with her. It references a CD, but mine didn't come with one.

I use this book with my youngest beginners. I also like Chester's Easiest Piano Course but I that doesn't seem as popular in the US. I learned with this method myself and find the students really enjoy the book. It is possible, as noted in a few of the other reviews, for kids to just pick this up and use it and that goes a long way to explaining its endurance and popularity. The 'middle C method' with its simple introduction to notes and rhythm creates happy young musicians and that should be the main focus where children and music are concerned.

These are the best learn to play piano books and this grandmother learned from them also. My grandchildren are ready to start and I am sure they will do well, even if they learn only for their own enjoyment.
