Edition DescriptionRevised edition

Synopsis(Faber Piano Adventures ). The 2nd Edition Primer Lesson Book introduces the keyboard, note values, and the grand staff. Students play in C 5-finger scale patterns, develop recognition of steps and skips, and learn letter names independent of finger number. Musicianship is built through the use of dynamics and coloristic experimentation with the pedal. The book is organized into units which represent the major concepts and skills. As new units are introduced, earlier concepts and skills are constantly reviewed.

Good beginner book!
I use many books for teaching piano but I really like Faber and Faber. This Primer Level Lesson Book is easy for students to understand and the diagrams/illustrations are great! Kids really like the teacher/student duets. It's also a good idea when the students get to draw in notes - they remember better! I do have one suggestion: before the student starts playing using the lines and spaces the letters R.H. and L.H. are written in but I wish they would also put the Treble Clef Sign and Bass Clef Sign there as well -- that way the student could get introduced to those from the beginning. In fact, I pencil them in for every student (I have attached a picture).

Better than the 2nd edition
This is clearly the most easy way to teach anyone how to play the piano. The 2nd edition that was released is TERRIBLE. VERY CONFUSING. Get all the older edition Faber books- they r much better!!!

Looks great. Has one pencil markings inside and a few pen markings that appear to have been modeling by the teacher. Every bit as expected.

best overall intro piano book for ages 6-8
My favorite book for "ordinary beginners"--i.e., 6 to 8 year-olds. A bit too difficult for super-young beginners, and a bit too childlike for older beginners.
