Reviews

[Renee · Rating 5 out of 5]

An entertaining approach to learning the fundamental and critical piano basics of music theory and play sessions. I highly recommend it for children between the ages of 5-9. Or if you're like me, a tactile person who absorbs large amounts of information quickly through interaction, and as a beginner who will be mostly self-taught, consider this book a casual approach to playing piano. From an adults' perspective the lessons are not hard, but after a few you might come to appreciate the technical abilities required to increase skill which this book is excellent at making you aware of and assisting with.
