What our customer's say!

"Great for beginners", I did not have any idea how to play a piano-this book really helps explain in an easy to understand format.

"really for dummies...", It was my first "for dummies" book and most probably the last. The book is big and empty; the author should have used at most 50 pages. The CD contains short musical clips that you've probably heard before or you can download for free. I gave it two stars because the book actually helps a small tiny bit contrary to its size.

I recommend instead "Alfred's Group Piano for Adults" it's much better but I'm not sure if it's the best one out there.

"Piano for Dummies", I like this book, well organized and easy to follow instructions. Easy to read to. Basic concepts are covered with some expanded details. Definitely recommend to other for its well written.

"easy to read", This is an excellent book for teaching yourself piano. All the reviewers who slam this book for corny humor can go jump in a lake. There are plenty of serious music books that just shovel out the facts in a dry manner, so if that is what you want, fine, no reason to get uptight about a book that trys to use a more human touch. I want to also make it clear that the book does not tell jokes per say, so you dont have to read through long groaners to get to the material. The author simply interjects personal examples. Its a technique that is used in all the dummies books, if you dont like it, dont read dummies books.

"An easy way to learn...", It's very easy to learn piano with the this book and it's really funny. You learn without the stress of a regular "learning manual".

Read this reviews before You buy...

"very informative", You must have a lot of time and like they say Practice Practice Practice. I recomend this book for anyone looking to learn more about Music and Piano.

"Typical Dummies manual for piano", This book was a lot of fun to begin with, but I found the author's terse, supposedly humorous comments tedious after a while. The piano instruction portions are sound, however, and the CD provides a lot of jazzed up guidance and hints without being too overbearing. I'm not real sure that a pure beginner could learn to play from this book, but an advanced beginner to intermediate student would surely glean some useful hints from this book and have fun while doing so. I loved the author's section on how to improvise and improve a song ending. All in all, useful.

"Who's the Dummy?", I bought this book out of curiosity rather than as a teaching guide as I already play the piano to grade 8 (ABRSM).

I wish I had not bothered and kept my £14.99. The book is written by a dummy for dummies or more aptly by a moron for morons. The incessant attempt at humour is offputting from the start and the content is disjointed and lacks any conceptual ideas of what music and the piano is really about.

The CD accompanying the book is a joke, and if this is an example of the author's musical skill I shudder to think what else he has produced. The irritating keyboard rhythms and styles are a throw back to the Bontempi school of music.

IMO this book is pants and is not worthy to carry the name Piano in its title. Save your money and don't buy it, there are lots of other very good "easy books" on teaching beginners the piano.

"A solid choice for a disciplined student", You may not like the sense of humor, the book may not cover every little nuance of proper piano technique, and yes, it has that annoying word "dummies" in its title. Agreed.

However, try this on for size: I'm learning to play the piano and I can attribute that directly to this book. I found this book more accessible than three other piano books I checked out in my library; the pace and organization are just right; and there's a helpful accompanying CD that lets one measure up to "the real thing."

I've had very little musical experience in my life, but thanks to this book I can play quite a few songs after only a month and a half and I'm confident that I'm on the road to being a pretty darn decent pianist. Assuredly, I expect that at some point I'll need a real human being to steer me along, but at this point there's no need to spend $30-$40 an hour to learn musical fundamentals that can easily be obtained in a book.

I can confidently recommend this book.

"Look elsewhere.", Even though the book does embody several hints on playing the piano, two stars are still generous. The book lacks coherency and is a mind-dulling read at best. Constant attempts at humor make for twitching and disgust. It is hard to stay focused and interested in this book, no matter how ambitious the pianist. There are other great books out there that demonstrate the piano beautifully and that have a much stronger appeal. My recommendation is to keep looking and don't stop here.
