Pros

It really is a very comprehensive book. The pieces selected are very entertaining and challenging. I wish i had bought it when my daughters still lived at home because the book is well-written enough that i could have guided them through lessons.

This book opens me up to full notation and two handed keyboard playing. It is very informative and helpful, though i wish some of the songs were the complete versions.

    The recordings are available through the provided link in the book so it’s unnecessary to get a cd which is nice

    I think this book is probably better used as a supplement because it tackles small parts of a lot of concepts


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The beginning is good for beginners but it gets advanced very quickly

    Like others have stated theres not a lot of rampup to this book


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Theres no busywork each exercise teaches you at least two or three different skills sometimes all at once so if you dont know how to practice how to pick apart music how to slow it painfully down and do monotonous repetitions frustration is in store
