very well done
14 Feb 2010
The piano specialist at my local sheet music store informs me this is currently the best-selling piano method for adults. It's not hard to see why.
I had a student who was going through Bastien's adult method, slogging along. I switched him to this one, and he started making sparkling progress. After a few weeks, I asked him what he was doing differently. He told me he just loved this book.
As a teacher, I can tell you this book doesn't go as deep as the Alfred's. It's only two books, whereas not only is the Alfred's three, but goes a lot deeper with the student before pronouncing him finished. At the end of book 3 of Alfred's, for example, the author proposes you play Fur Elise and Toccata in D Minor in their original forms. There's no way you're going to be able to do that after merely going through the 2 Faber books.
But I would say this book does have an advantage over the Alfred's: it chips away at your piano ignorance, so to speak. Every lesson is short and gradually incremental. There are no monsters in the book to stare down a student and discourage him. No, songs look easy to play and you get the feeling of making swift progress without as much intimidation.

My sister plays piano professionally. She recommend this book to me to teach my wife piano. The book is excellent. I have been able to teach my wife the basics with this book. She has progressed past thisbook and now has an instructor. Her instructor is happy with what my wife knows and is impressed at how fast my wife has learned. Great book.
