Adult All-in-one Course: Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course, Book 2 [Large Print] [Plastic Comb] Review

My efforts to reteach myself to play the piano had kind of stalled but ALFRED'S BASIC ADULT PIANO COURSE has put me back in gear.I kind of dithered between starting with level 2 or level 3 and though the first few pieces in level 2 were very easy for me I soon found I really did need the review offered in level 2 and a quick scan of level 3 shows me I would have soon become frustrated with it without going through this book first.A tuneful selection of folk, jazz ragtime and classical music make up most of the coursework and there is a lot of emphasis on chords and fingering - skills I missed in my piano lesson days of long ago.The book is bound with a sturdy plastic "comb" good for me as I am notoriously hard on piano music.There are pen and paper exercises to review notes and chords as well as lots of beautiful music pieces. If you are faithful in practicing this series will teach you a great deal about the piano and keep you motivated to continue.

Jumbo Easy Piano Songbook: 200 Songs for All Occasions [Paperback] Review

I'm an adult who just returned to the piano last year after buying one for my family.Anyway I love this book.It really is easy to play with most of the songs having the melody in the right hand and often the left hand is just accompanying chords.Lots of old standards here like "Old Mill Stream" as well as some classics such as "Fur Elise" and many other songs you know you've heard before but just never knew the title. Plenty of well known folk songs from all cultures too.With 200 songs many as long as four pages you won't get bored easily and lyrics are included (if applicable) so you can sing along.

The Disney Collection (Easy Piano Series) [Paperback] Review

This music book contains 54 Disney songs arranged for piano, vocal, and guitar.The songs come from Disney movies, TV shows, and short cartoons from the beginning up to the present.Most of the favorites are here: SnowWhite and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Lady and theTramp, The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins and the 101 Dalmatians, amongothers.Davy Crockett fans will be particularly pleased that 20 verses ofThe "Ballad of Davy Crockett" are included.
This collection isnot exhaustive. The book is not particularly pretty--there are no picturesaside from the cover. The music itself is not too easy or too hard--ifyou're looking for a musical challenge, you won't find it here--but ifyou're looking for music that will provide a variety of pleasant playingand listening for Disney music fans, you've found it.
