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 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.

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 music and also play such a magnificent instrument then this book is highly recommended both for its simplicity and effectiveness.
