Exactly what I needed for my older students. Excellent teaching method.
by Aristotole
I know very little about music. Bought a keyboard because I feel that I need to achieve something in life – even if it is only being able to knock out a tune. This book has enhanced my negligible knowledge on the technical aspects of music. Really good, well though out book. I still have a long road ahead of me. Good starting pointhowever.
by Kamen
The transition from showing you the ”A, B, C …” notes with letters to literally reading them yourself based on their placement on the music sheet is made almost unnoticeable! Which just shows how good each step of progression is thought to be in this book.
I would recommend it for beginners like me.

Good Book and just what I wanted

This is my first method book and as a recent beginner a couple of months earlier I had been using built in features in a very old Yamaha keyboard for a month then bought a Yamaha p125 which came with 3 months of flow key. Which also has some intro lessons which I worked through for the 1month prior to this book and felt like I needed something more. When self learning rhythm and dynamics are the bit you miss to much of. So decided to try this book so far have found it informative as it’s filled in lots of theory gaps which I needed. The counting and rhythm bits are not as well explained at the beginning as I needed. Counting 16th notes and 8th notes but Manet just haven’t reached that bit yet. The rhythm drills in unit 6 were particularly useful and pushing my playing forward. I expect a teacher would have established this earlier. The book helps with sight reading skills through practice and interval training and feel that I have progressed in this with the aid of the book and the app. Currently I’m at page 122 but still struggle to match the tempo of faster pieces while maintaining rhythm starting to spend more time on each piece as a result of understanding what’s needed. Expect if using with a teacher will move more slowly at the beginning to get the basics in. Find the app to be good after purchasing the lessons. Have also purchased the classics book. There is a review of learning at the end of each section. Only weakness I would say is an explanation of what you need to achieve to move on from each section. As an ex lecturer i would put in a list of must be able to before moving on at end of each section. Probably assumed your teacher would decide for you or it’s so obvious to the authors. All in all I would say worth the money for the books and online music in the app.

This is really well thought through, and includes links to demonstrations so that you can listen to the pieces on your phone or tablet and play along to the accompaniments. It’s brilliant. A couple of aspects might be American rather than British – eg the term for a bar of music – but this is very incidental.
As an adult learner, I bought this alongside the first book of popular tunes by the same author, and I am using them alongside each other, learning some theory and then alternating with enjoying playing some well know tunes. Totally brilliant and I’m enjoying learning. THANK YOU. This book would be great value even it were a lot more expensive.
