Learn To Play The Piano Book 1 | (Download Only)

I looked around the Youtube for a while till I was fortunate enough to see Ms. Sparrows videos. She is an outstanding teacher and explains in her videos and book every details with clarity even for an old Grandpa who has never played piano. I like the linking of video tutorials within the book. I can read the book and see the associated video without wasting times to look for the right clip. Thank you for your efforts, you are helping me to realize my dream. I have a long way to go but I am happy that I have the right teacher to help me make progress.

After watching the first 5 lessons for piano and for violin, I can only say - Thank you so much for your easy manner in approaching & decoding 'music'. Your technique & book provide a complete package, giving us visuals on what learning an instrument is all about. Your enthusiasm is contagious - looking forward to learning ... and getting to the next level.

Excellent books and brilliant youtube videos . Best combination for a total beginner . It is almost as having a piano teacher in the room. Even if it is not on my own Language it is the best learning sytem I have come across. Thank you, Alison, And please write more of these books. Will you write book 4 ????. Gracias!!!

This first piano book in the series is very easy to learn, even for those who are totally clueless about the piano. Alison is great in explaining the basics of learning to play the piano. I like the way she walks you through the lessons that need to be learned at this stage. I've bought the 3 books; I hope she writes more books of this kind in the future. Thanks, Alison.

Instructor and book have been great so far. I'm learning on my own following her YouTube playlist and the exercises are very helpful.

Excellent book, well written and the online tutoring is second to none, Alison is a brilliant tutor and takes you through the basics at a very slow, leisurely pace. Many thanks.

I had piano lessons at school 70 years ago, hated it then,now getting back into it and enjoying it heaps. Modern technology has made it so much better.Although I would not mind getting smacked by my new teacher, beats the cranky old Nun that used to smack me for hitting "joeies"

This book throws at you one problem at a time such that with some effort you can overcome the problem and feel satisfied with your progress. That, I think, is quite important in keeping you motivated. From watching other youtube videos I know that Alison is skipping stuff like note reading etc. but I appreciate the purpose of doing that. It avoids overwhelming the beginner. I really like this book and Alison's method of teaching. I would say this book should be a good fit for most beginners. I just wish there were more number of practice exercises and may be a few simple songs you can learn at the end of every lesson.

I love these tutorials and this book. I started watching the tutorials, purchased the books and started playing in days. I have some knowledge of the piano from previous attempts to self educate, but Allison makes this learning process stress free, fun, inspiring and inviting. My 7 year old son wants to learn to play too. I am thrilled to have him sit with me and learn together.

Combined with the YouTube links Alison has made it so easy to follow and understand. Her teaching style is great. I did not know anything at all about music. Thank you so much. Yvonne
