 Excellent book-Highly recommended. December 28, 2008

Awesome book. I am about a quarter of the way in and have already made leaps and bounds in my ability. This book was recommended to me by a former piano teacher and professional musician and I would make the same recommendation.

I prefer this method for teaching older children. It moves quickly enough to keep them interested, yet is inclusive of theory, technique and sightreading.

AMAZING BOOK! When i was younger my piano teacher used the Bastien series, and after reading other reviews I trusted the Bastien series once again in teaching myself how to play the piano. I've moved along easily in the book, and i'm playing the piano at a great beginner level. Can't wait to complete the book! Easy to follow, and great activities that make you actually learn about the notes and play with ease! Highly Recommended!

I feel like I am really learning how to play the piano. My experience prior to starting with this book was from middle school 12 years ago playing on those plastic keyboard mock-ups. I'm just about 20 pages into this and I am already able to play multiple notes with each hand (as opposed to the point and poke, previously). It'll be a slow process but I'm sure I'll actually be able to play once I'm done with this (and maybe Vol. 2).
I'll come back to update the review again next year.

ALthough this book starts out slow for someone like myself who had taken lessons as a younger child, it gets harder very quickly and becomes challenging for someone like myself. I would highly recommend this book for any adult lookign to start playing or pick up the instrument again!
