O.M.G. !!! The cd is actually there! It’s in new condition too…(as is the book)… if it isn’t actually unused completely. The original owner must not have ever even thumbed through it. There isn’t a single crease on the covers or anywhere else for that matter!

    Nicely done for the price...

    I am learning a lot, but I wish you had inserted a full pull out sheet showing all the keys so I could put it on my wall for reference. That would be helpful, or at least draw one into the book in the front or back so I could make one for myself off what was in the book. Also, the cd was not helpful. Wish you had a dvd that i could follow along with and stop when needs comes. But its an ok book for the price and you will learn from the material. Brock067

    Amazing book to beginners

    Excellent book, taught in a fun and functional manner, the exercises are practical and really functional, clear is that it should not be forgotten that his practice makes perfect, but every teacher must have a theoretical basis and so, this book works for it.
