Customer Review: Before reading A Christmas Carol, I automatically gave the book the highest regard probably because I was influenced by the Disney's movie version, at least that's what I thought the book will be like. It didn't turn out to be the case. Admittedly I am a huge fan of Charles Dickens' books and... more info
Customer Review: I have really enjoyed learning along with my son and daughter with these books. I love the way they are easily arranged, the artwork and the choice of songs. I would highly recommend the series.
Customer Review: As someone who has no musical experience and not wanting to commit to hiring a teacher, I was looking for an approachable self-teaching guide. This book, so far (about 1/3 of the way into it), is that. I recommend it highly.
Customer Review: I've never taken a formal music lesson in my life when I was seized suddenly with a wish to play the piano as an adult. I've always managed to teach myself a lot in life, and have a pretty good track record (taught myself furniture building, sewing, calligraphy, home electrical repairs, and a bunch... more info

This book helps you to practice scales and chord progressions in a vigorous manner.

Customer Review: While this is a long-standing instructional series, something of which the novice should be aware: When you purchase this book, you should also be aware that you will have to purchase several other books/instructional materials to correlate with this book. For example, I have covered the first 7... more info
Customer Review: I'm most of the way through this piano course and found it very well done! I'm learning on my own and the progression is perfect - just enough to learn and just enough practice pieces to start nailing down what they've taught. Only thing I haven't enjoyed yet is the blues/jazz pieces pp 107-108 -... more info
Customer Review: There are plenty of reviews on the content of this book, and, likewise, I think it's top-notch. I just wanted to add a short note on the craftsmanship of the physical book itself. With the way the holes were punched into the pages, there are large sections in which each page is stuck to the next,... more info
Customer Review: When I was six, I wanted to play the piano just like my mom. I tried to take lessons but hated the weekly "recital" and slow slow pace of my teacher so my mother, being the saint she is, bought me John Thompson's Modern Course. I learned not only to play with confidence, but 23 years later I... more info
Customer Review: I purchased this book for a student of mine. In the description it said the book was used but the only sign of that was the name of prior student written in pencil on the first page. Not only the name was written in pen, the pages were also drawn with pen randomly, making a few pages unusable. I... more info
