Piano for Dummies

After my father passed away I inherited his piano. This book is a good helper in improving one's playing of the piano.

Excellent book for total beginners

CD broken in transit. Book ok.Was past return date but seller refunded payment. Very nice.

This is an excellent book for teaching yourself piano. All the reviewers who slam this book for corny humor can go jump in a lake. There are plenty of serious music books that just shovel out the facts in a dry manner, so if that is what you want, fine, no reason to get uptight about a book that trys to use a more human touch. I want to also make it clear that the book does not tell jokes per say, so you dont have to read through long groaners to get to the material. The author simply interjects personal examples. Its a technique that is used in all the dummies books, if you dont like it, dont read dummies books.

Book in good condition.But no cd.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a fun read, as well as an easy to understand guide. I am a beginner, and I like that the book includes a CD that lets me hear samples of music and how they are supposed to sound. It not only covers the basics, but it also includes simply explained, more complicated ideas.I like that it also has it where you can skip over certain things if you have already covered them, but why? Sometimes even people who have been experienced at playing piano and other keyboard instruments for a while will need a refresher course.

the book was describe as having a CD with it. Mine had no CD attached. How do I get one?When I get the CD I will be able to give my rating.

This is a great book for those who are starting out Piano. I have yet to finish it but it definitely simplifies things and explores it in details.

Happy with book

I like this edition from Blake Neely better than more recent editions. I am glad they still sell them new on Amazon.

I'm relearning the piano after 20+ years. Didn't think it would be this tough. So thankful that these books are available. Easy to order, quick in the mail. Thank so much!

Clear and helpful book - so easy to understand . Reasonable price, fast delivery. Great transaction

The book is great and was a Christmas gift for my wife. But it didn't arrive until the New Year, I bought a similar book in a Canadian bookstore and gave that one to my wife. Now we have two books. Very disappointed in the delayed delivery from Britain.
