Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1: Book with Media Online by Nancy Faber,Randall Faber

Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1: Book with Media Online by Nancy Faber,Randall Faber is I self taught through this book. I liked working through it, but there are pros and cons. I started with "Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course" and didn't like it at all, so I bought this book. It has a very good selection of music and was enjoyable to play. You move around a lot, not just staying in middle C position and it works fingers of both hands, not just chords on the left hand like Alfred's. I felt like I wanted more pieces to work through and more technique and theory. I could play the songs alright, but I didn't feel like I got a very good instruction in playing, even though I could play the pieces. If you want to be able to sit a play some and not get too serious this book is great. I really want to dive in and have a deeper education on the piano. I contacted an instructor who I've started with and she recommended the Accelerated Piano Adventures series. I bought the 4 main books in the Accelerated series and it cost me about $4 more than this book, but there is a great deal more music between them and I wish I had had these books from the beginning. So the Adult Piano Adventures is great book and I love the spiral binding, but especially if you are going to self-teach I recommend the Accelerated series from the same authors/arrangers.

Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1: Book with Media Online by Nancy Faber,Randall Faber is I am an adult eaching myself to play the piano and I like the music selections in this book. When I was around page 50 or so though and felt like I was missing something... I don't think there are enough examples or explanations of each concept. Each page teaches a concept, there are one, maybe two short pieces to practice, then on to the next concept. I ordered the version for "Older Beginners" which has 3-5 books versus one (although not spiral bound), and there are many more pieces to practice on, and each concept is explained a little more simply and thoroughly. That seems to suit my old, antiquated brain speed a little better.

Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1: Book with Media Online by Nancy Faber,Randall Faber is This book is amazing , I highly recommend it for everyone who wants to play the piano. The songs are great and the book is really easy to follow. I'm 17 and learned how to play the piano using this book and others from this collection ! It's worth it! The video is from me playing a few months after I got the book , the book teaches you enough theory so that you can read whaterver song you'd like to play.

Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1: Book with Media Online by Nancy Faber,Randall Faber is I teach piano and one day a week I teach in a senior living facility. There are always seniors who are just starting or taking up piano again after many years. The Faber Adult books are wonderful for this purpose. None of the too-adorable graphics that are found in the children's beginning books. It's difficult to find good beginning books for adult. Either they don't teach enough or they move too fast. This book is just challenging enough to hold their interest but at the same time it has enough repetition of concepts that the student doesn't get overwhelmed . Great book for adults of any age, plus it's good for older children or teens who cringe at the sight of frogs, cats or gnomes on every page and the childish titles given to every song.
