The piano tutor book 1 and song book.

Posted by Icy Quinn on 26th Jun 2020

This is the best course of all. Love all the pieces and exercises in Book 1 and the Song Book. Purchasing The New Collection Song Book 1. Practising with a keyboard due to space constraint. I am 52. Couldn't pursue my interest when young due to financial issues and had forgotten all about my passion during my adult yrs. Thank you very much, Alison, for making piano learning enjoyable and affordable. Deeply appreciated your efforts! Moving on to Book 2 after finishing all of the exercises and music pieces of Book 1. Thank you once again, sweet angel! Really appreciated your time and efforts! May you be bless richly!

Absolutely Fantastic

Posted by Kearnan Kelly on 18th Dec 2019

These are exceptional piano lessons and I'm thrilled with how much I've learned so far. After attempting a few other methods, I found these to be remarkably instructive and they progress in a logical and perfectly challenging manner. I particularly appreciate the brilliant and unique exercises and the links to the online performance. Very, very well done.

Late learner!

Posted by Steve Hollyman on 10th Nov 2019

I started to learn piano as a child but lost interest very quickly. Now at 50 year's of age I am starting again!. Very easy to follow lessons taken at your own pace. Highly recommended

LITERALLY FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS

Posted by Nelly Seif El Nasr on 6th Jul 2019

I used to play the piano at 12 years old, but then stopped. Today, at 19 years old, with those piano tutor books, I am learning very quickly, or should I say "remembering" very quickly what I'd learnt when I was 12. This book just made it easier for me to start from the basics, and learn a little bit about music theory which I didn't know before. I wouldn't label myself as a beginner, but I can see how helpful this would be for COMPLETE BEGINNERS. And with those youtube videos? Priceless. Highly Recommend.
