Find Best Price at Amazon"It took me about 1 1/2 months to work through the book and I rate it as excellent instruction for anyone wanting to learn or re-learn the piano."
"A little background before I get into the real review: My 14 y/o trumpet player daughter has been wanting to learn the piano for years. Her trumpet teacher disagreed and recommended she start with the Suzuki method as she has and incredibly good ear and quite a bit of natural musical talent. I bought this book to help rectify that, knowing that I'll be sitting in on her weekly lessons and absorbing a lot of information there. It's pretty exciting to go from not knowing where middle C is located to playing Jingle Bells with a bit of harmony in 2 days! I do plan on adding scales and such to my practice sessions, as these are truly the things that will help you progress and give you a more fundamental understanding of how music is put together. I feel like I'm able to grasp the concepts that are introduced and will be able to help my daughter along once her lessons start in a couple of weeks."
"No CD, but Youtube is better than the CD anyway."
"I have looked around for the cd to buy seperately but I cant find it."
"This is excellent book for beginners."
"So far, helping me learn the piano."
"A little bit hard if you are teaching yourself."
"I love this book!!!"

"What a wonderful tool for teaching a child music appreciation."
"The writing level is difficult for some of my upper elementary students, but with connected classroom teaching the terms used are useful."
"I bought this book for my elementary students (Pre-K- 6th grade), and there are not enough pictures and the words are not big enough for them to really enjoy the book."
"I bought this for my 11 year old daughter after hearing how much she enjoyed stories shared during her music class."
"There was no CD in the sealed plastic!"
