Review: Fun and useful - I've been playing piano on and off for some time now, that is, until I moved out of the states. I got this book to help me remember certain movements that my hands had forgotten and to be able to read music again. What a difference it made! It's clearly written, easy and utterly thorough. Although I have a background in piano, I can see how this would be useful for a beginning without a teacher -- it explain everything you need to know! Basically, if you want to learn music theory and technique along with enjoying your instrument, get his book. FYI this is not a songbook. This book is so much more than that: it teaches you properly. From hand lesson and finger numbers, clear lessons on scales to circle of fifths and melodic minors this book makes takes the essence of what is needed to be a pianist. Review: Clear, Comprehensive and Encouraging - Well written and laid out and makes for easy understanding and encouragement for this re-beginner. I think this is suitable for adult and child. I am getting to know the notes and the relationships (scales and chords) inside out - on the keyboard and on the page. I am increasingly ready for my next step and playing music from the treble and bass clef.

Well worth getting!
Good book. Well set out with an exercise per page and quite large print too. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the way it's bound.... Spiral bound would be so much better as it would sit on a music stand and stay open on the page you want it to.

The text and diagrams are large and clear so making it easy to read whilst at the keyboard
I'm still working my way through the lessons in this book but so far they have been very clear and informative. The text and diagrams are large and clear so making it easy to read whilst at the keyboard. The videos are actually just YouTube links and, although good, there are plenty of other YouTube videos out there to choose from.

I don't find the style fun and enjoyable as it says
This book was not what I was expecting, it's not really a book more of an exercise manual. One exercise/ lesson per page. All the instructions and information are presented as bullet points. I'm sure it covers everything it says on the cover, but all is not well explained. Brief essential information is given, but not explained or discussed. I don't find the style fun and enjoyable as it says. It's read the instructions and then do. This not the place to come if you want an in depth discussion of musical theory or a book that 'ties it all together' so it makes sense.

This book changed my life!
I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano. This interactive e-book has finally made that possible with its detailed lesson structure. In just a few days, I feel more capable. Once I finish reading this book I am sure that my understanding of scales, chords and music theory will have improved significantly. It is clear that a lot of time and loving care has gone into the creation of these lessons. I am so glad to have come across this book. It changed my life! Thanks, Mr. Ferrante!

An excellent reference book.
An excellent book for both absolute beginners and advanced players who may need a refresher. It helps with music theory, sight reading and practical methods. You won't be the new Mozart at the end of the book but you will have the necessary tools to progress.

Incredible Book Great For All Piano Skills Levels!!!
As a musician, and an aspiring piano player, this book is really encouraging. It is simply laid out, and easy to understand, which helps get me in the mood to practice my piano playing!! Its has everything you could want in the 140 lessons it teaches, accompanied by 30 video lessons. When I first opened up the book to chapter 1 I was able to get right to work. This piano book has scales, teaches you hand placement and chords. So the beginner really has an excellent time learning how to start out, Each page gets more complex, adding in more layers! The skilled pianist can reminisce over those first chapters and work their way to their own level, maybe learning something new along the way. Wether you start on chapter 1, 32, or 85!! This book is for everyone!!!! One of the things I love about this book though, is that it is accompanied by 30 videos. Each a good length and providing enough info so that we understand what is going on in the book. It's fun to have a visual learning component in addition to the book!! I recommend this book to anyone trying to learn piano!! Or anyone who just wants to have a skills book on the shelf!! It works with Kindles as well, or the Kindle apps on any smart phone!!

Amazing book!
Really great! Among a lot of material I have already studied, this is the most didatic and efficient. As an introduction both to piano and music theory, this books gives you a good insight on these topics. The videos also helps very much on the process. If you want to learn the piano by yourself, recommend it without hesitation.
