Review: Great for beginners! - This book is perfect to learn how to play piano! It's super simple to follow along and learn finger placements as well as beginning to learn to read music! It's even better if someone can play the duets with the child but it's not required. My son has learned a lot in a short time with this book! Review: Great for young kids - I am no pianist, but I am able to teach piano till probably level 3-4 Alfred's lessons. I play a bit and have been always involved in my oldest daughter's lessons. I have learned a lot myself too. My 5 year old scatter brain or rather active son is not ready to take piano seriously and I don't even have access to a piano teacher who accepts kids his age (pre reading and this active!). He begged for piano lessons so I bought him this book along with Alfred's Prep Course A set. Alfred's a bit too fast for him. He needed something even easier and more fun. This is real fun for him. He can't get enough and he just cracks himself up with some songs, laughing no matter how many times he plays it. The best is Kangaroo song with it's boing in a wiggly voice at the end. He made me make a movie of him playing it for his cousin :) I think after this book he would be ready for Prep Course from Alfred's set. I also need to add that my 7 year old is having fun with it. She took piano lessons with a teacher almost a year ago, stopped at Alfred's level 1a book and didn't want to continue her lessons. Now almost year later, she is having fun with this one with her brother. It's way too easy for her, but fun. After not playing piano for almost a year, she is asking for lessons again... Thanks to this silly book :) However, I must add that this book would have been too simple, boring and easy for my oldest daughter at this very same age: 5. We had something similar for her to start with: Hal's with CD and it wasn't her cup of tea. She went right into Alfred's level 1a and flew through it in a month. She got to level 4 in 4 semesters. My then 6 year old had to go through the Alfred's primer level before getting to 1a. So it really depends on a kid.... It worked for us and I am happy we have it. Hearing my son and ROTFLOL with every practice is just so much fun for me :)

Perfect for preschooler
I play piano and wanted to get my preschool son started too. He’s been showing interest and I thought we could just follow the book. I’ve never taught lessons but don’t want to pay just yet for them. There is a website that has all of the corresponding tracks, so I just bookmarked it on my phone. It’s better than the cd in my opinion because I don’t have a cd player at my house. My preschooler is engaged and talks about what he learned at meal times and in the car. It’s very easy to follow the book and it covers all of the most important basics in a logical order.

Easy to learn and follow
Great book for young beginners. Very colorful and just enough whimsical to draw interest. The CD is a great way to listen and practice. The only thing I didn’t like was that some of the songs on the CD are not in the book.

Good choice for kids
This book was recommended by an online piano teacher. The book so far is on point to help my granddaughter prepare for piano lessons in the Fall.

A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO PIANO!
Bought the set of 3 FABER books for a 3 going on 4 year old that I've been caring for since he was 20 months and he loved them immediately! He's highly intelligent, taught himself to read at age 2 and LOVES music! But he's also a typical 3 year old in that he get's hyper, has a short attention span and needs a lot of handholding to properly learn piano. I know piano, read the amazing reviews on this trio of books (lesson, writing and xmas) and decided this sounded like a great introduction to piano. He was truly inspired to commit to learning piano after opening the books. I highly recommend buying both the lesson and writing books (obviously the xmas book is optional), especially because the lesson book comes with a CD, which of course he loved because it ties in with the book and acclimated him to the whole concept of piano lessons. And the writing book is something he can grow into. I will say that he participated in Music Together for over a year and has that whole collection of books and CD's--so he's quite familiar with following music and singing and playing along. But he would open these books on his own, pop in the CD, follow along and grab his Casio keyboard which I bought him a while back (another great purchase). I also spent some time with him going through the exercises and explaining things which is obviously an essential part of the process. All in all, I was so happy (and relieved) that he took to the books because you never know about these things!
