About this product

Product Information

This text is an accessible, thorough introductory text for beginning pianists. The authors present vital keyboard skills in a smooth, carefully calibrated progression that makes students feel comfortable learning to play the piano. By the end of the first chapter, students can play three simple pieces-a Hilley arrangement of "Amazing Grace," and two songs written especially for this text by Lynn Freeman Olson. Subsequent chapters build students' confidence by offering a consistent synthesis of keyboard skills, music theory, and creativity. Olson's original and appealing musical selections consistently compliment Hilley's mastery of pedagogy and pacing. As a result, students learn difficult piano skills as they experience the excitement of playing old favorites.

PIANO FOR PLEASURE
I think this book has very good information,examples and actually good songs to practice with. My only concern of owning this book would be if you did not have an instructor to explain things to you. The key is to have a good instructor. The book is more like a guideline. However, for the level I was before I started, I have improved from this book.
