Me and My Piano Part 1 is attractively laid out, with lovely illustrations, useful fact boxes, occasional theory pages, musical detective questions, and simple duet accompaniments to some of the pieces....Fanny Waterman s success as a teacher stems from her concentration on security of technique combined with the development of imagination and musicianship. These books convey a sense of excitement which will enthral many a young aspiring pianist. --Piano Professional Magazine, Spring 2009
Product Description
Me and My Piano is the best-selling tutor series designed especially for younger beginners. Part 1 takes the young pianist step-by-step through the earliest stages of piano technique, first with separate hands, then with a sequence of very easy pieces for hands together. All use a constant five finger hand position in the key of C major. Games and puzzles give theory a new lease of life, and children will love the rhymes and songs introducing characters such as the Ostrich and Sammy Squirrel. Originally published in 1989, this new edition retains all the quality teaching material and engaging colour illustrations of the original, with a fresh new look, improved presentation and complete new music setting. Contents: Yankee Doodle; Sing A Song Of Sixpence; Kangaroo; Crocodile; Bears; Middle D, Middle C; Postman Pete; At The Piano; My Pony; This Is E; Telephone; Sammy Squirrel; The Ostrich; Good Night , Good Morning; Snowflakes; The Railway Train; Escalator; Jelly On A Plate; The Pancake; Mary Had A Little Lamb; Three In A Bar; Humpty Dumpty; Little Bo-Peep; Monkey Puzzles 1; Girls And Boys Come Out To Play; Left Hand Middle C; Monkeys; Watching TV; The Caterpillar; What Is Your Name; Ladybird; Marching; Oh Dear Me!; Who s That Knocking; This is C, This is G; The Squirrel; I Am The Prince; Running Down To F; See-Saw; The Robin; Bugle Call; Two Hands; The Spaceman; Westminster Chimes; Jungle Drums; Rowing; Pussy Cat; Monkey Puzzles 2; Old MacDonald; A Carol For Christmas; The Laughing Clown; My Clock; Down By The Lakeside; Oh When The Saints Go Marching In; The Haunted Castle; There Was An Old Man With A Beard.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Me and My Piano Part Two (II) leads in clear steps to Grade 1. It contains attractive music: nursery rhyme and folk-tunes, Chopsticks, William Tell, the Can-Can, some charming waltzes and duets, limericks and God Save the Queen (for Brownie and Guide Music Badges). It also teaches note-values, rhythms, dynamics and continues to consolidate the material learned in Part I. It is superb for teaching children and adult beginners. Although the print is no longer in 'glossy' form, the illustrations are fun. With Part I it can be used instead of or as a lead into Piano Lessons Book 1 by the same authoresses. Piano Lessons Book 1 has clear but faster steps to Grades 1 and 2. Me and My Piano Part I and II and Piano Lessons Book 1 are highly recommended for all beginners and, I think, superior to any other piano primers for adults and children. All three books can be used to teach using an electronic keyboard and is excellent grounding for music theory and for playing other instruments.

the book is good value for a beginner. my children are 6 and 8 and enjoy the book. the tunes are very basic, but thats because each page introduces a new note. it is an excellent book for explaining simply in children's language how to read the notes, and clefs, stave's.

Format:Paperback
My 7 year old son and I are learning to play the piano and this book was ordered at the request of our tutor. It's terrific, very easy to understand (although that might be because our teacher is so good!) and if you'd said to me 6 weeks ago that I would be playing both hands in this short space of time, I would've thought you were mad!!!
But I am.

(I also ordered Book 2 but haven't opened it yet)
