Reviews
A delightful First book for a future Pianist! 35 years ago, my mother bought this book for me and I had a wonderful time learning from it. With such a wonderful experience, I had to purchase it for my son age 5 as his first book. It teaches you the very basics of learning the notes on the keys and it has some pages for theory practice. However, if you are looking for a book that teaches you to count and number the fingers (such as Faber or Alfred's method), this isn't the book for you. This does not show fingering via a diagram. Therefore, it may delay your learning by a few lessons, but you will mostly certainly learn. Another point is that some people may find some of the accompanying images offensive as they depict segregation era. Remember this was printed in 1955. John Thompson has an updated version of this very book and doesn't have any of these images.
