I have been incredibly impressed by this particular piano learning book! Having had experience with music for many, many years, I could tell immediately that Damon walks through beginners in a step-by-step process that is not only easy, but effective, especially in the sequencing of the lessons. The lessons go from the very basics of fingering and learning the main notes to timing to learning the treble and bass clefs and learning notes, all very seamlessly and leaving the pacing to the student.
This book is especially great if you are learning on your own or if you are a parents wanting to teach your kids but haven't every learned music yourself. It's perfect if you are unable to afford a piano teacher or frankly just don't have time to go to lessons every week. The book includes videos that allow you the visual demonstration of what you are learning, just as if you had a personal teacher. Each video is placed appropriately throughout the book as new concepts are introduced and the videos are clear in instruction. I liked how clear each step was and having it demonstrated.
I would HIGHLY recommend this book, especially if you have no past musical training and want to learn to play the piano. Great, great book!!
