My First Piano Adventure: Lesson Book A | Beginner Piano Book for Kids Ages 5–6 with Online Audio | Pre-Reading Music Theory and Rhythm Games | Faber Sheet Music Songbook for Young Pianists

Good! like it!

This book is perfect to learn how to play piano! It's super simple to follow along and learn finger placements as well as beginning to learn to read music! It's even better if someone can play the duets with the child but it's not required. My son has learned a lot in a short time with this book!

I am no pianist, but I am able to teach piano till probably level 3-4 Alfred's lessons. I play a bit and have been always involved in my oldest daughter's lessons. I have learned a lot myself too. My 5 year old scatter brain or rather active son is not ready to take piano seriously and I don't even have access to a piano teacher who accepts kids his age (pre reading and this active!). He begged for piano lessons so I bought him this book along with Alfred's Prep Course A set. Alfred's a bit too fast for him. He needed something even easier and more fun. This is real fun for him. He can't get enough and he just cracks himself up with some songs, laughing no matter how many times he plays it. The best is Kangaroo song with it's boing in a wiggly voice at the end. He made me make a movie of him playing it for his cousin :) I think after this book he would be ready for Prep Course from Alfred's set. I also need to add that my 7 year old is having fun with it. She took piano lessons with a teacher almost a year ago, stopped at Alfred's level 1a book and didn't want to continue her lessons. Now almost year later, she is having fun with this one with her brother. It's way too easy for her, but fun. After not playing piano for almost a year, she is asking for lessons again... Thanks to this silly book :) However, I must add that this book would have been too simple, boring and easy for my oldest daughter at this very same age: 5. We had something similar for her to start with: Hal's with CD and it wasn't her cup of tea. She went right into Alfred's level 1a and flew through it in a month. She got to level 4 in 4 semesters. My then 6 year old had to go through the Alfred's primer level before getting to 1a. So it really depends on a kid.... It worked for us and I am happy we have it. Hearing my son and ROTFLOL with every practice is just so much fun for me :)

I play piano and wanted to get my preschool son started too. He’s been showing interest and I thought we could just follow the book. I’ve never taught lessons but don’t want to pay just yet for them. There is a website that has all of the corresponding tracks, so I just bookmarked it on my phone. It’s better than the cd in my opinion because I don’t have a cd player at my house. My preschooler is engaged and talks about what he learned at meal times and in the car. It’s very easy to follow the book and it covers all of the most important basics in a logical order.

Good

Great book for young beginners. Very colorful and just enough whimsical to draw interest. The CD is a great way to listen and practice. The only thing I didn’t like was that some of the songs on the CD are not in the book.

Great product for my 6 year old beginner

Good one .Recommend.

Öğretmenimizin tavsiyesi başarılı.

I bought this on the off chance after searching various music stores for a piano book suitable for teaching a 5 year old. This book is perfect as it takes into account the reading skills of children this age and presents the themes in a colourful and imaginative way as required for Key Stage 1 music. It's a big plus too that you can go online and see how some of the lessons are taught and these have been especially helpful particularly if you are not used to teaching this age group. In addition to the tutor, I bought the writing book that is used alongside the piano book. I also purchased some coloured stickers, coloured crayons and some percussion instruments as these are needed throughout. Each lesson is taught with a song in a fun way, with clefs and musical notation introduced later on. So far I'm about half-way through book 1 and even though some of the examples are not relevant to children in this country, you can easily substitute other ideas. My pupil is loving it so far and has learned all the songs by heart because her Mother plays the cd in the car on the way to and from school!! I hope the momentum and enjoyment continues through the rest of the series.

In my opinion, there are sections in the book far too advanced for a 4-year-old beginner.

Muy buen material para las clases de piano de niños de 5 a 6 años que apenas empiezan a explorar la música.
