How To Play Popular Piano in 10 Easy Lessons
March 29, 2010

This book was fabulous. I took piano lessons as a child and had forgotten many of the basics. The instructions brought all of it back and more. I was able to transpose a song within 1/2 hour and after much practice was able to play it flawlessly. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn piano. It certainly made me feel accomplished when I was done with just one of the many popular songs contained within.

PLAY REAL MUSIC IN TWO HOURS OR LESS!
March 17, 2010

I learned how to play piano THE HARD WAY. The process was expensive, time-consuming and not a lot of fun. This book is EASY to read and offers an approach that is EASY to put into practice. In a matter of an hour or two you will be playing a REAL song. Not just a practice scale. I promise. The price of the book alone is cheaper than the first book I used when I learned how to play piano THE HARD WAY. You can't lose!

EXCELLENT

I'm a retired dance, gymnastic and drama teacher. I needed an outlet for my creativity, so I decided to teach myself piano. I purchase a inexpencive keyboard and began plunking away. I knew how to read the main notes of music, but ran into trouble, when notes were sharped but was not preceeded with a (#) symbol. Along with many other puzzling questions. After purchasing this book I not only can read music, I am playing many songs. I'm so excited about how easily I've learn to play the piano from this book,that I may even expand on this creative endeaver,break down, and pay for some actual lessons.
