4.0 out of 5 stars An easy to follow first piano book for children and adults, 28 April 1999
By A Customer
This first piano book is colourful, easy to follow and includes teachers accompaniments. The book is primarily aimed at children so includes some well known nursery rhymes to play and cartoon charaters to guide you through. I am an adult beginner and used the book to teach myself and found it preferable to other beginners books that were aimed at adults because of the way John Thompson's book built up my skills step by step and offered opportunities for review and practice before moving on.

My one small critiscm would be that some of the peices are (I think) American and having never heard of them and teaching myself I had no idea whether the (ahem) music I was making was right or wrong. If you are a parent trying to guide a child through the book you may also find this a problem. That asside, I would recommend this book for any beginner and have gone on to use the others in the series. If you reach the end of the book a reward awaits you!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start, 2 May 2007
By Mary (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
I use this with my pupils along with books by John Schaum and Barnaby Byron. My only criticism is that there are loads of American tunes in it that are not relevant to Europeans really. It is better than the Shaum books though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tutor book but not the best, 3 Oct 2008
By R. Duncan (Ipswich, Suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a piano teacher and have used this book with nearly 100 pupils now- it is certainly a lot better than Piano Time and 10 little fingers as it gets started with treble and bass clefs immediately and is therefore nowhere near as confusing as the books mentioned above.

However, following the reviews mentioned below, the presence of so many American tunes isn't great and the actual content of the book isn't at all different to the original 1955 version.

Book 2 of the same series is ok. The quality of the teaching is good but the material itself isn't of the same standard.

I solely use Chester's Easiest Piano Course now.

5.0 out of 5 stars learning to play piano for the first time as a rehab activity is proving great fun and useful.
This is a great first book for learning the piano irrespective of age. I injured my hands/arm last summer and the exercise is helping me get back my dexterity. Read more
