Take a tip and get the cassette too!
Great fun Great advice Great Approach. What more can I say

Incomplete Package
The book has some good pointers...here's the problem, I guess this is supposed to be sold with some audio recordings, which are not included in this version.The book is simply incomplete without them.So don't bother buying this version make sure you get the one that comes with the tapes that are oftem referenced in the text.

too cursory
I felt this book was a too cursory introduction.A few good exercises, but i think this is a topic that just doesn't lend itself to a teach yourself approach.I am giving it 2 stars for a couple of great pieces of advice, but i would advice you to try something else first.

Good book
While this book may not cover everything, that cannot be expected in the limited number of pages.(150?) For it's size, the book covers a great variety of interesting piano theory and technique. If a beginner, you mayget lost in a lot of the terminology like "tetrachords" etc. buta careful reading of this book will result in a better understanding ofmany valuable aspects of the piano.

It is a good book for beginners, but lacks essential details
It is a good book for beginners but lacks essential details, many important topics like harmonization, modulation etc are just touched. Also there are only a few practices or exercises. The problem is that the writer has touched almost all the topics but has failed to explain any of them. I would not recommend this book even for beginners, as less detail is as good as no detail. It would have been better if the writer had devoted more pages to important topics like sight reading, hormonay, modulation etc. ... Read more

Not the Best
Even though I have had approx. 6 months of tap dancing class so I know many of the basic steps, I found this book and CD difficult to use. I believe the author is not very successful at describing how to tap dance using words.I think that beginners would really struggle to understand what they are supposed to be doing. ... Read more

One of the BEST
This book has the best basic approach to teaching the fundimentals I have seen to date. The first 2/3rds has a very interesting history, but what I'm impressed with is the instruction and CD that's included. It starts with basic notes, then goes into chords and gives a great introduction into the twelve bar blues. This book singlehandedly can make you a jazz musician. It's easy to understatnd, and can make a beginner feel very comfortable with basic musical structure. ... Read more
