I highly recommend this book to everyone just learning and also for those like me who needed a boost for their memory. This book is a great refresher for trying to get back into playing! And the table of contents referenced other books to get.

Book gives exercises and a basic introduction to musical theory. The selection of classical pieces is lovely. Before each new tune is a lesson page of what to watch out for and how to learn it.

The book works the chords a bit beyond my first book. It gradually introduces new concepts throughout the piece. It also includes online audio files to demonstrate what each piece should sound like.

This is also great for transitioning into the grand staff. Follows organized, linear lesson plans that makes it easy for readers to develop and then build on each lesson.

If you buy this book, i suggest you flip through it right away to make sure you've got a good copy. Horrible recordings​ ignoring all the dynamics written on the sheet music. Most of them end very abruptly.
