Rating Review
Customer Rating I have tried various piano books for young students, in fact I think I have now tried everything on the current market. This is by far the best! The pieces are not too long which means that children with no prior musical knowledge can work through this at their own pace, while gifted children will get through it quicker while still being taught everything they need to know. I would recommend this to any teacher or student.

Customer Rating Definitely the best book on the market for junior piano students from ages 4 upwards. Easy to understand and nicely paced for the young student. The monkey puzzles are fun. I use this in combination with Lina Ng's Theory sticker book.

Customer Rating My daughter is 9 yrs old and plays the violin but wanted to learn piano as well. Being rather pushed for time to teach her, I bought this and left her to it. She has worked her way through it quite happily and is now onto the second book. It is a little too easy for her age but has encouraged my son, who is 7, to play also. He was put off by other books that looked too difficult but was much more willing to try this because he said it 'looked fun instead of difficult'. My only complaint is that the book begins as many do, with the student being taught rhythm and note length with only one note, which is somewhat painful for the rest of the household to listen to. The book itself has nice clear colour pictures, none of the scribbly cartoons so often found in piano tutor books. The theory explanations in little info boxes are concise and in language easily understandable for children. Some assistance may be required with the puzzle pages for music novices or very young children.

Customer Rating This is a simple well laid out tutor book. The melodies are also easy for children to sing as they play which is great at this early level. The right hand is covered first,there's a puzzle page midway going over notes learnt etc then the left hand is dealt with.
I tend to use this book on the youngest children i teach of 6 to 7 years.

Customer Rating I am about to buy this book for the third time in a couple of months, for another keen young pupil. It is excellent, moving the young pianist on steadily but ensuring they are given plenty to keep them interested. This is definitely a case of an old favourite which goes on and on!

Customer Rating I have used this book and really don't like it. The left hand isn't introduced until half way through, though you could work from the beginning and the middle simultaneously. The book jumps from tunes of 1 or 2 lines to a tune of 4 lines, which also starts on an anacrusis and has awkward intervals for small hands - it's much more difficult than the material which follows it. The puzzles are way too hard for the age group for which it is intended and look very daunting - double pages with a lot on them. I much prefer Pauline Hall's Tunes for Ten Fingers as a starter for roughly the 5-7 year old average pupil. These are very logical in sequence and have more interesting material.

Customer Rating I find this an excellent first tuition book for beginners whether younger or older children, and I have even used it with adults.
