Helpful but Errors and Inconsistencies
Overall book is helpful especially if you already have some music in your background, but there are errors or inconsistencies that can be frustrating to figure out. For example: page 20 shows how your fingers are to be numbered and goes on to say the left hand is usually used to play the bass clef and the right hand the treble clef. Then page 23 shows you where all the notes lie within these clefs. However, page 30 introduces you to your first chord. It’s the C chord played on the bass clef but they used the finger numbering of the right hand and the corresponding notes displayed on the bass clef are not a C chord at all. Even more challenging is the appendix with all piano keys labeled with their notes on the stave. They are badly misaligned so that it’s nearly useless. I’ve played guitar for over 40 years and thought this would be fun to try, but the job of each hand is very different on a guitar and so this book would be a big help if it was correct. Still, I am getting some help from it.
Effective Method
I have three years of theory but no piano skills, so I like the way this method doesn’t get bogged down but gets right to chords (in nicely voice-led inversions) and hand independence. Work the pieces up to tempo and you’ll be off to a good start with piano basics.
I do not like the charts which get split between pages at any font size I try. There is no reason for a three- or four-line chart to continue on a hidden next page (I’m using two-page view on a 27” iMac). Fortunately you can overcome this by sliding each line (they are individual .jpgs) into a TextEdit document to make your own chart—and then save them as a library for practice—but this is a formatting nuisance that seems avoidable.
And there are some things introduced in the charts that aren’t described in the text, but that is fine, easily figured out.
Overall, gets the job done efficiently and with challenges that can be mastered with work—all music is work, right? “Playing” music-ha!!
Amazing!
This book is very helpful and can teach you many things you might not have already known. I've had a lot of piano lesson books but by far this has to be my favorite! I recommend you to get this book if your looking forward to learning more and inproving.
