    Simple pieces, bit boring/basic

    My background: 22 year old, been playing less than a year (true beginner).I bought this to help me improve and practice my skills as I learn to play the piano. I bought the book used but it was in great condition.The pieces are composed well and they include helpful tips and questions to keep you engaged and reaffirm your sheet reading knowledge. It’s a true beginners book, anyone with significant experience would be really bored.Why did I knock off a star? I feel there isn’t really anything special about it.I get that it’s an exercise book, but almost all the songs are included in my instruction book series (Alfred all in one lesson/theory course). They are very basic, boring pieces that you find in most instruction courses (non copyrighted generally).The two nice thing is that it includes: duets on almost all the pieces to play with your teacher (so if you are interested in that it’s a good piece to add to your collection) and : a repertoire list in the back (nice to keep track of the pieces you have mastered but tbh you could just make a list for yourself and keep it pinned up somewhere).Overall: I probably won’t even use it that much after this year. It’s good to work through once but then you probably won’t touch it again, so I wouldn’t suggest paying too much for it. Good book to write in and use as practice. Despite its title I feel that it would actually be well suited to children beginners as well (maybe 10+).That’s all she wrote: a general reminder to please leave reviews do other consumers can make smart purchases 🙂

    It’s okay.

    I love the FABER Piano Lesson and Performance books from the pre-reader all the way to lesson 5. These though were very disappointing and boring. They just made my adult students and older students feel blah when they played them. I don’t like the serious at all.

    My favorite series for students above age 10

    The Faber series (using all 4 books – Theory, Technique and Artistry, Lesson, and Performance) are by far my favorite curriculum for older beginner students. The reason I don’t give 5 stars is that 1) Amazon.com does not display them together and it is VERY hard to find all 4 of the right level. It is NOT user-friendly. To the point that I ordered one set, took them to a local music store and asked them to carry it because parents could rarely get the right books without my assistance.2). There is a British version and and American version. Some students have received one, some the other. In the US, we use different words for rhythm. For example: our quarter note is a “crotchet” in Great Britain. That’s awkward to explain to a 12 year old boy!

    Love the Piano Adventure series!

    I have been teaching piano for 32 years. I love the Piano Adventure Series! I use these books exclusively with my beginning students. I usually buy mine at the local music store, but they were out of one of the books last week, so I ordered with Amazon Prime and had it the next day 🙂

    Good music book

    I teach piano to my grandchildren ages 7 and 10. They like this publication and find it non-intimidating. The 10 year old just finished the last piece in the book and was very proud to play it to his parents. The book may be a little easy for him but it gives him some fun and relaxing pieces to play. You can’t just have challenging pieces or they will loose interest. Practice must be fun and rewarding.

    Faber is unbelievable.

    The music books by Faber are unbelievable. I switched to Zfaberare from another Artie’s because Faber had more music theory and better compositions. Am very impressed with this series. Great for any serious student.

  9. Kindle Customer

    Love Adventures

    Using this for a new student that is 14 years old. Progresses at a quicker pace that the original version. A wonderful learning technique.

    Great for adult beginners!

    The Faber Accelerated books for Older learners are wonderful. The pace is fast enough to be interesting for someone like me, who listens to a lot of classical and jazz music. The song selections are pretty, sometimes even beautiful — rare in a book for beginners.

    My son loves it!

    My son is 9 years old.The songs are so catchy and lovely that he practiced all the songs by himself, without any teaching.I’m very happy to find a material that motivates him and makes the practice very enjoyable.

  31. violetviiana

    Got the wrong book. Ended up being perfect.

    So, I got the performance addition instead of the instructional book. My piano instructors (old and new one) worked fine with it. It’s adequately challenging and I learn very well with it.

    I have a young lady who can already read music, but is just starting on the piano. She is able to push ahead at a fast pace and get into the piano very fluently this way.

    For the Adult Beginner

    As an adult beginner piano student, I don’t want to be playing “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” This book provides me with music that sounds great for a beginner. They are easy to play but not so cutesy. Almost all the pieces are duets with the teacher. When we play together, I sound like a pro. This book works in conjunction with all the other Accelerated Piano Adventures books to coordinate the skills with the piece. It’s a great way to learn piano.

    Excellent value!!

    You can’t go wrong with Piano Adventures books, they are pedagogically sound, creative, and you can find curriculum appropriate for any age!! My students and I love them!!

  51. Amazon Customer

    Very happy with this book

    Loved this book. I taught myself (as an adult) using this book and am now working through it with my students. I found that all of the books in level 1 are awesome. I highly recommend getting the theory, technique and artistry, and performance books for each level to supplement and engrave the things learned throughout the lesson book.

  53. Articus Heaven

    Buen complemento

    Un buen material para complementar al libro de lecciones, se repasa el tema visto en el libro principal y se enriquece.Tiene las mismas cuestiones a considerar que el otro libro, piezas muy rápidas que exigen buena lecura, lo que puede ser beneficioso o no, depende de cómo se aplique.
