 Not for proper piano playing September 13, 2008
Ms. E. Oakey (UK)
If you want to tap out a tune on the piano then this book is fine but not if you would like to actually be able to play the piano. If you can read music already then you will speed through this and probably not be challenged in the slightest, there is far too much writing and too little music. For learning to play with both hands and popular music there are much better books
A really outstanding book April 25, 2008

This is a well written book. I love playing my piano and this book has really shown me how to do it with ease.
 A step in the right direction February 9, 2003

I started the book already having a small amount of knowledge of the piano and music. I wanted to take up the piano seriously with no human instruction, therefore I bought this to see what playing the piano properly was like. It starts off very basic, explaining everthing as it is, with a small amount of justification. It then progresses into melodies and accompanying them with simplistic chords. As you go further, you learn about the sharp keys, sharp chords etc. It's easy, but it's not simple. The book generates the idea of ANYONE being able to play, but you have to have knowledge of the songs and have to be competent with the keys. It moves very quick therefore you have to literally MASTER a chapter before moving on to the next one, and this means being able to play every tune perfectly without the music, otherwise you struggle. Overall though it's a step in the right direction and the easiest piano book you'll ever find, so if you're taking up the instrument and don't know what book to buy, this is the one.
Good book but one small request to the publisher/author August 28, 1999

This book is very good for the person who knows the songs. Now I am a foreign student who wants to learn to play the piano/keyboard, because of interest in Western music. All the songs in the book are totally unfamiliar to me. I know I am in the minority, but I will certainly appreciate it if the publishers include a audio cassette/CD which has the songs in it. Like those programming books which have the source on the CD-ROM. My keyboard has some songs in-built but I don't know how "Silent night..." should sound, so I am stuck at the very first song. Otherwise the approach in the book is good.
 Excellent, concise course on how to play the piano May 16, 1999

It's one of the few books that delivers what it promises. In 10 really easy lessons you can be playing the piano with confidence. He writes in a very down to earth style with explanations that let you intelligently play the piano. It's great.
