5.0 out of 5 stars Great for learning the piano, 15 Jan 2009
By W. COCKERILL "Bill Cockerill" (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm teaching myself the piano and have bought several basic books. This has been the most fun and rewarding so far. It has quickly taught me how to play with confidence and to experiment with chords rather than faithfully playing every note. Playing with any piano music (including fake books) is more enjoyable now as I can use the chord letter alone to create my own musical accompaniment to the melody.

It's written in plain English with lots of cheesy jokes that are quite amusing. Learning piano with it is genuinely fun.

To get the most from it I think you need some basic piano playing ability. So if you're just starting to learn the piano I'd strongly recommend a basic piano course book to partner this one. I found "How to Play Popular Piano in 10 Easy Lessons" by Norman Monath really good when I was a complete beginner.
