| | | | Customer Reviews of This Item | |  Late bloomer adult learner takes the leap...
Submitted on: 2009-11-04 | | I've never taken a formal music lesson in my life when I was seized suddenly with a wish to play the piano as an adult. I've always managed to teach myself a lot in life, and have a pretty good track record (taught myself furniture building, sewing, calligraphy, home electrical repairs, and a bunch of other stuff. I just seem to learn better that way. I guess that's how my brain is wired. Maybe someday I'll take lessons or classes). This book has been a wonderful resource, and provides a smooth introduction to reading music, which I must admit at first intimidated me. The lessons are logically ordered and have helped me to gain confidence quickly. A real plus is the progressive series of books that introduce the learner to additional avenues or courses for study once a level of learning has been attained. Well done and well designed.
A strong recommendation for a well-organized self-teaching course. Look for my budding concert performance career!
(A teeny-tiny minus: all the exclamation points lends a kind of exaggerated enthusiasm, but others might not find it a distraction. Since I can't award a half-star, I gave it 4 stars, so my review is actually four and a half stars. Still an EXCELLENT product.) | | | |  Amazing
Submitted on: 2009-10-18 | | | In my high school we can take a piano class as an elective, and the book that we use is this one. The teacher doesn't have to do anything because the books teaches us so well, in the past 4 weeks I have played through 1/4 of the book and love all the songs that I have played. I would definitely recommenced this book to beginners. | | | | Music Teacher at your hands
Submitted on: 2009-09-22 | | The best option is always to have a music teacher whenever you want learn a musical instrumnet
exceptions is applied when you choose to read Alfred books
I ordered the three books and I just received my first book (LEVEL ONE) and I'm very happy with the book
start with these 3 levels and then go to Carl Humphries's book (The Piano HANDBOOK)

Thanks
| | | | This book is really good for novice pianists
Submitted on: 2009-08-20 | | | This book is really useful and covers most basic hand positions, chords, and fingering techniques and features dozens of songs that seem difficult to play, but with the techniques you learn, will grow easy like the Entertainer and He's Got the Whole World in his Hands. Again, this book lets you familiarize yourself with the notes nad fingering techniques to help build up to more advanced material as well as smoothly transition both hands into the song. Again though, if you are an expert or intermediate player, this book will be really boring and simple and it's not for you, but if you are a somewhat beginner and struggling with both hands and chords, this is one of the best books. In no time, you will know the best fingering and key positions, as well as the ability to play a few piano classics that all the others know. | | | | Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course: Lesson Book Level 1
Submitted on: 2009-08-16 | | | This is an excellent book for the adult beginner. It does need several more Level 1 books to be complete; level 1 Theory plus another one or two level 1 books. | | | |
