Songs are pretty normal, and standard beginner songs like Silent Night, etc etc. Book starts off with C position on both hands, then G position, and then Middle C position.Excellent book for beginners. This is a not so adult book after all, even though it's a good start for adults. Each of it is played with accompanying chord. I have achieved success with students starting this book as a contemporary piano book.(kids from 8-15) + adults too.The concepts seems hard if the book is attempted unassisted. Highly recommend it for any beginners who's going to take up lesson.
I got this book form Amazon.com. I am 45 years-old man. The book is easy to understand and follow.Thank you.Ismail Savas It reached on me in a week.( I am living in Turkey). I wanted to learn to play the piano. I have an digital piano.
I take group lessons and if I miss a class or don't quite understand something, I can look it up and it really does help. This book is very helpful in my Piano training.
Thennext thing you know, you are on your way to playing piano. It is visually helpful along with takingit slowly but purposely, and it is subtle in adding new things. I can't waitto purchase Alfred's Level two and three when finished with this book. Alfred's Level One Book was just the ticket. It is far and away thebest beginner's book because it doesn't frustrate the beginner byleaping forward too quickly.
No big deal, I just penciled in the correct note, but it did take some tracking down to make sure that I am correct.The first 2 F#'s that are in the song should be F naturals. Excellent book for beginners. You get to the end of the book and find out that you have to copy your award certificate because it is on the back of a simplistic version of "The Entertainer".Just my two cents, but, again, overall GREAT book. That is in bar three (3) and bar eleven (11) in the song.Also, when I got to the end of the book I was so happy that I completed it and the award certificate is cute as well, I just wish it were on another page, seriously. I started playing the piano when I was in grade school, a girl would go and have her piano lessons, and then come home and teach them to me. This book helped me to remember more than anything.The only irk(s) I have with it is, maybe it is just my copy (although I doubt it.)., the Greensleeves song (on page 82-83), has a note that is incorrect.
