This is a great book for beginners, all ages, who wan to learn how to read piano music and play it. If you already know how to read music but just want to learn the piano, skip this book and get the 1st book.

I bought for my 7 year old daughter when she started piano lessons and they are perfect when you are just starting out learning! Our piano teacher recommended these books and I definitely agree!

The three goals of the book: learn finger numbers, learn to find notes on piano, learn beginning notation.
It starts with finger number exercises on black keys, and simple songs that kids can do easily with a little guidance. I find I have to remind students to remember to look at the page, as it is easy to memorize the pattern and never meet the goal of connecting the numbers to the fingers mentally.
Next, it introduces notes on the keys by working with the two sets of keys: C, D, E, first; then F, G, A, B second. That approach seems sensible and effective. The letter names appear in the note-heads, as quarter note and half note rhythms are introduced.
Finally, we start putting notes on the staff. This is where some students struggle. Notation does seem to be a hurdle for some kids. We teachers can use additional aids to help with learning/connecting the staff to the keyboard.
I recommend this book for young learners. Older students may benefit as well, but they'll need to move pretty quickly through it, so they don't get bored or annoyed by the whimsical kid-oriented drawings.

I am returning this as I only got the CD. It says it comes with the book. I don’t want to spend nearly 25aud just for a CD

This book really makes teaching and learning piano fun. I as a teacher and my 6 year old whom I am teaching both love & enjoy the exercises in the book. There is an accompanying video lesson with each page, which is very useful. The book contents, exercises and video lessons are very nicely arranged to create a great overall experience. (There are also some advance challenges which are fun). Overall - I give the book full marks in making teaching & learning interesting and ideally pacing the lessons & exercises for kids.

I've tried teaching piano to kids with a half dozen other books/approaches, and this is my favorite by far. The teacher duets are really fun - they bring even the simplest "songs" to life. It's easy to adapt the pace for each student - I've never had a student feel overwhelmed with this book.
