Complete Piano for Adult Beginners: Theory and Practice

Excellent for adult beginner. I bought the Kindle Version at first then going through it I saw that it was very well put together. So I returned the kindle version for the paper back version I’m absolutely thrilled. It’s really easy to understand. So happy I bought I. Highly recommend it to adult learners.

Some useful information regarding music theory and some nice beginner tunes, good that it has a qr code with a link to YouTube so you can see and hear the pieces of music being played. All in all a reasonable book for starting out.

I am a 49 year old male (soon to be 50) who has recently purchased a piano with the hope of having a fair idea of how to play it before I reach my mid 50s. The title of the book says it all. After a night of reading the first few pages I was hooked on the theory which has started to make sense already after just a week of playing the basic Melodie’s and watching out how the notes appeared on the treble and the bass staves. (I am impressed that this book has got me as far as I have after just a few songs) The ease of taking a photo of the QR code to take you to the song example on you tube is a breeze too and helps me to choose the songs I am aiming to play. Perhaps the “Entertainer” at week two may be a bit ambitious, as I write this …however the book really has helped this far, so I figure why not give it a go. I will continue inevitably to make mistakes but that is what learning is for and this book offers the much needed motivation. Highly recommended and covers a fair amount of detail, yet not too much to bamboozle a newbie. Thank you to the author for a well written peice of work.

Very good

If you've never played a piano, or nor familiar with musical notes etc then this could be for you. The first half of the book is dedicated to this. Had to return as a bit too basic for me

This is contributing to helping me develop skills playing keyboard

I have a bit of previous music reading knowledge but this book added to that with simplicity and clarity that would help any beginner. It does not replace a tutor but it is a great place to start to save on a few months of lessons

Excellent instructions for anyone trying to learn the piano. Would recommend.

I am quite pleased with this resource as a beginner to piano lessons. Very well laid out and easy to follow. It is complete as its first half is Theory and the last half Practice. Also, 65 songs plus a video as stated on the cover. Cost efficient!

Not played for 40 years but can play again now, both hands. This book has been very helpful

Good for beginners, presents basics in a very clear menner.

Don't be mislead by the title cover. " Complete Piano for Adult Begginers" Too Basic for an expensive price - useful for beginner kids. Hall Leonard books are worth the money!

Great refresher book for my mom that hasn’t played in quite some time.
