New review of our Classic Series: Volume 1 - Beginning Basic for the Piano! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1475120117/

"As a beginner piano player, this book has been fantastic. Understanding the basics, such as reading music, placing your fingers, and playing with both hands, was made straightforward by Classic Series: Volume 1 Beginning Basics for the Piano. The lessons are easy to understand and I appreciate that there are checklists and a final test to keep track of my progress. Also, the flashcards were very helpful in order to memorize the notes. I strongly recommend it to those who are just getting started!" - Roee

Student Miriam S. completes our “Classic Series Volume 1 - Beginning Basics for the Piano” and leaves this stellar review:

"As an adult beginner learning piano for the second time, I found this book to be an outstanding introduction to the instrument. What sets it apart is its thoughtful pacing and intuitive structure. Rather than following a rigid or traditional order, the book introduces concepts in a fluid way, with each lesson naturally building on the last. It never feels overwhelming.

It also has a perfectly curated selection of music. Every piece is perfectly matched to the skill being developed, and they’re fun to play. They reinforce each new concept as it’s introduced, making practice feel purposeful and rewarding.

I’ve started using this book with my child as well. Its clear explanations and engaging content make it suitable for all ages, and it strikes a wonderful balance between education and enjoyment. Whether you’re an adult learner or working with a young student, this book is a fantastic way to start your piano journey."

New review of our Classic Series: Volume 1 - Beginning Basic for the Piano! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1475120117/?tag=wehpubmusstu-20

"I recently bought this book and began trying to learn piano as an adult beginner. While I feel the target age for this book is a bit younger than I am in terms of the written activities and such, I feel like it’s much better to be on the side of more comprehensive music theory and best practices than too little. The gradual progression of the music pieces and activities has made it easy to demonstrably improve in a pretty short time. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to learn piano as a new skill, young or old." - Amazon Customer
