- Excellent for Adults & Kids
I want to learn piano myself and so does my 8 year old so I bought a few books, but this has been the best by a long shot, even for my old age group. I did music in school, never piano though, and after two weeks I'm playing the likes of Strangers in the Night and Annie's Song - very slowly though, so I'm no genius.

Anyway, the book is engaging, facts are so well presented and absorbed easily, I don't know whether its the pictures of the little monsters or what, but it works. I have a full understanding of the notes, chords, how to read the music and how to use piano fingering. I do about an hour messing around each night and am improving daily. I initially read the book in bed and felt I had some knowledge but when I sat at ... Read More:

- My son's verdict on this book
I am twelve years old. When I got a keyboard, I wanted to learn how to play it. So I got this book and followed it page by page until I had finished it. Now I can play a lot of music. I don't think you will find a book much better than this one for learning how to play the piano or any keyboard instrument.

- The Child Within
Since I consider my self tone-deaf any book that can actually remedy this to some effect is a welcome addition to my book shelves. The truth is I bought this book not for my self but for my seven year old daughter who had earlier during the year started attending piano lessons. The book is very cleverly illustrated both so as to capture and maintain the attention of a child as well as to make learning how to play the piano as easy as possible. I consider my daughter the best critic of how useful this book remains for her even though my daughter’s piano teacher was also quite impressed by its contents. If you have a child who has just started learning how to play the piano or if the child within you wants to have another go at learning how to ... Read More:

- A fun and effective book for begginers....
The book is great for first time piano players as it explains how to play and read piano music in an effective, easy to understand cartoon format. Each new topic eg.the different keys and concepts are introduced in a gradual sequence so you never get mixed up or overwhelmed. Especially useful to the "teach yourself learner" as the CD demonstrates how the music piece should sound like (ie.the tone and speed) giving the student/pianist the reassurance required as well as an opportunity to play along with the CD.May not be ideal for those who wish to learn the more classical and operatic piano styles, but a good book to start with nevertheless.
