The Complete Keyboard Player: Book 1

Great instructions and gives you confidence and motivation to practice. Nearly ready for the next book.

Very good for beginners

The media could not be loaded. I learnt with these books as a child. Purchased a keyboard again as an adult and this was naturally my first choice of book/music. Sadly returned as mine jumped from page 44 to 47 so I was missing two pages of two songs. But would be a great book to start out with if learning or refreshing

I decided to have some piano / keyboard lessons. My teacher bases all her instruction on this book. I have been very impressed with the way it is laid out and the way in which it helps you progress. It does this by a small amount of music theory with practice sessions on popular songs. The songs are arranged in such a way that you don't have to learn everything at once - but you are led on in an ordered progression. Well worth the money.

Sorry. I appreciate this isn't really a review of the book but I think it is worth mentioning.The picture and description are of a book with online audio access but I received the CD version. The ISBN numbers were the same as listed. I went to the publishers web site and filled in their customer contact form attaching the Amazon invoice as proof of purchase and within the hour they emailed the code to access the digital content. They explained that the CD version had been replaced by the audio version with the same ISBN numbers and that Amazon must be selling old stock.I spoke to customer services and Amazon were happy for me to return the book but said that they couldn't guarantee which version I would get if I reordered, hence me going onto enquire with the publisher.

Beginning to learn to play the piano - this book is easy to read and follow the instructions.

Never had a music lesson , but in 1996 I brought Book 1 and started to teach my self. Just brought a new Yamaha PSR 400 and started playing again. this is a really easy book to follow and teach yourself method I'm up to book 3 and as I said NEVER HAD A MUSIC LESSON. If your thinking of starting to learn and you are teaching yourself this is the book for you. great lay out great songs easy to follow and in no time you will be off and playing.

This is good and fun. My only issue is that the generic 'keyboard' that some of the advice and guidance is based on is pretty unlike my Yamaha keyboard!
