5 out of 5 stars This is the way to go!   October 17, 2001

I have to say, given all the choices for keyboard instruction available, I got really lucky in choosing this one! After just 5-6 weeks, I am halfway thru book 1 and they've got me playing loads of songs with 2 hands(something I thought I wouldn't be able to do for awhile!). This book takes a very 'hands-on' approach(this is key!), and includes a CD for you jam along to. The keyboard parts you are intended to play are panned to the right, so that you can hear what they're supposed to sound like, and later pan to the left in case you no longer wish to hear them. I also like the book's laid-back 'take it easy on yourself' attitude, while teaching the reader music theory one piece at a time. Granted, you do start out playing some songs you've probably heard too many times already("skip to my lou", for example), but they are good teaching exercises, and later on the book has you playing material that is more rock, blues, and classical-oriented. I can't wait to start book 2!

This book is really helpful to those with no musical skill. The only instrument I have ever played was the flute and I was terrible at it. I stayed away from musical instruments for years! Then I decided to buy a keyboard so I bought this book and it is so amazingly understandable! I understood everything so much. It's like a real instructor is tutoring you. I even bought a set of drums and bought the drum book tutor. Really simple, fun, cheap and there's other instrument books to go along with it.

Got this along with electronic keyboard. It is surprisingly easy to use and my 8 & 10 year olds are successful as am I. The book is clear, set up in bite sized pieces, and immediately rewarding in that you play songs right away.
