    Great Quality Book with Only Minor Aesthetic Damage

    I work as a church pianist, and I am currently stocking up on resources to learn songs for the beginning and end of each service since I now have so much free time. Delivery came in on time, and yes, the book had minor damage, but that is expected- it didn’t hinder the book’s quality at all, i.e., all damage was minor and aesthetic only. A great purchase.

    Faber’s piano 4

    Great piano lesson books from Primer to Advance. Focus on music reading and playing off the staff.

    I really enjoy teaching with the Faber books in addition to other methods I use. No matter what the level, this series focuses on getting my students to read their music more quickly. There’s a strong base in music theory and I find my students play from the grand staff a bit more quickly. The pieces tend to have a bit more challenge to them, depending on level, and I’ve seen very good results using these books. From lesson books to theory and technique and great solo pieces, I recommend these as a piano teacher.

    happy with this book!

    This is the Piano series that is recommend by my daughters music teacher. We have used this series for years now. I am very satisfied with the book along with the help of her instructor. I am not sure it would work for some one who has never played and does not have any help from a teacher. This works well in her private piano lessons. I would highly recommend this series for piano students and teachers.

    LEVEL 4 lesson book

    This book is a good skill review. There are no great books for piano but I find the other Alfred series more pleasant to practice and that’s a joy in itself.There are only 3 books in their adult course and my sleepy eyes thought this was something new by them. To be fair this book is used to teach children and sooooo many quit from bordom and parents that can’t stand to hear them.

    Excellent series, excellent book

    I have been teaching piano for over 20 years and have tried several different series. Faber is by far my favorite. This level 4 book continues in the excellence of the other books and, in fact, is one of my favorite books in the series. It has some great pieces with a great deal of variety. It is at the intermediate level.

    Missing (blank) pages!

    I purchased this book for my daughter. The book is very nice, except it has a number of pages that are blank (they didn’t print). Consequently, a song can be cut off in half because the page did not print (e.g. pages 12 and 13 are missing, as are pages 16, 33, 35, 36, 40. That’s 7 pages out of 45 total).I have never had that happen to me before. Needless to say, I will be returning this item.

          2-Teachers Approved

          Bought this book for my son beginning drums back in May since it was recommended by his teacher, and now 6 months later, he’s still banging along in beat with the rhythms! We even had to switch teachers a couple months ago, and the second teacher liked this one so much, she’s now recommending it to other students.

          Alfred’s Beginning Drumset Method

          I decided I wanted to learn the drums so I sought out an instructor and this is the book he ask me to purchase. As the middle age student I found the book to be easy to read and follow. The DVD is helpful for the different views and listening to how the beat is supposed to sound. This book combined with a good instructor has been a great teaching tool.

          Now to find a teacher to work with this book

          as a struggling midlife crisis drumming student, it has been difficult finding “THE” one book from which to learn and reinforce “the basics” of drumming. After about a dozen purchases (or two), I found the Alfred Drumset Method Book.There are a LOT of methods for teaching drumming, and many methods for learning.I started drumming about 18 mos ago – about a year after my 10 year old son started snare drum classes in school – with a 90 year old semi-retired jazz drummer (father of a friend of mine – he still had 32 students up to July 2005 – retired due to a stroke but he still helps me out occasionally when I visit) and his methods were great, but the books he used were upwards of 60 years old (Roy Burns’ Elementary Drum Method, Joel Rothman’s Rolls Rolls Rolls, Ted Reed’s Progressive Steps to Syncopation, Stone’s Stick control), heavy on rudiments, marching rhythms, and he’d play vibes while I and my son took turns playing rock, shuffle and jazz grooves w/ him. I’ve heard his students over the years and his methods worked, but as an adult, physician, post-post graduate I was looking for another method outside of the way he was presenting it to me.What works about the Alfred book for me is this: simple 4/4 rock grooves, introductions of simple progressive bass,snare, tom changes around the set which reinforces independence and fills, a visual and kinesthetic introduction to fills and 4 bar riffs and a similar treatment of jazz rhythms. It’s done in a way that builds rapidly to a finished product where learning the components separately wasn’t giving me the satisfaction I was looking for. Kind of like learning how to drive by being given a five minute review of the controls and then driving around a parking lot versus taking an auto mechanics course for six months before seeing what a finished car looks and feels like.Somehow this makes sense to me where “Drumming for the Complete Idiot” and similar books didn’t work. Or maybe it was torturing myself with those other books for so long that now with the Alfred Method, it all comes together. My son and I are playing together across the basement (he has his set, I have mine) and learning from each other. When he needs books, I’ve got them, and he uses the Alfred book too, but it’s time to find another teacher for one on one.The Alfred Drumset Method, a good investment. But unless you’re a real self-starter, find a teacher who will work with you with it.

          Poor Kindle Version with no Sound Files or Links

          This review is for the kindle version of the book – and the review I wish I’d read before I purchased this book. This is a facsimile edition, and none of the pages are dynamic or interactive. Even the table of contents is just a picture of the text from the book. There are no links, there are no sound files for listening to the sound examples, and very little instruction in the text of the book or explanations of the concepts. You need a teacher to know what to do, because the book does not explain things beyond a sentence or two. This book is NOT for a self-learner trying to learn how to play a drum set. This same book thru iBooks is dynamic and at least has has all of the sound files, and costs $7.99 from iTunes. I wish I’d known that earlier, because I don’t want to buy this lame instruction book twice, or pay $10.99 for the CD only thru Amazon in order to hear the sound examples of the lessons. This kindle version is a hack job, and when did they write this and take the photos — 1982? Skip this book and get The Complete Idiots Guide which I am ordering soon.

          You MUST have these books and CDs if you are serious about learning the Drumset!

          I use Alfred’s Drumset Books as the textbooks in the drumset courses I teach at our local music school. The books are well written, and the accompanying CDs (which can be ordered separately) contain clearly-recorded examples of every chart in the book. These books and CDs are a MUST for any aspiring student of drumset percussion!

          Most of the begining drumset books available focus on either rock or jazz styles. This book begins a student in both rock and jazz in a simple and comprehendible way. I suggest the student work in both sections at once.

          Excellent Sequence of Material, Great for Beginner and Intermediate Drummers

          I have been teaching private drum lessons for many years. I have settled on this one for almost all of my beginner drum students, and here is why:-Excellent pics of how to hold the drum sticks, how to play heel-up or heel-down on the bass drum and hi-hat;-Clear description with pictures of the parts of a drum set;-Excelllent, clear isntructions throughout the book above and below the drum grooves and exercises;-Great songs to play along with, after learning the techniques needed to achieve this goal;-Book comes with CD if desired, which makes learning the grooves even faster for students without a private teacher;-Logical layout and sequence of techniques. *******This is my favourite and most important part of this book. It lays out the grooves and fills in an excellent sequence from simple to intermediate, to advanced level material.Many, many drum books that I have and have used or taught from are lacking in placing the information in a logical sequence.I recommend this book very highly for all drummers starting out, and for intermediate drummers looking to fill in the gaps before they move to an advanced level.

          One of the best intro books I’ve found

          20 yrs teaching. This is one of the best intro to drumming books I’ve found. Does a great job building on each skill as it is learned. Mostly beats; the few fills it has are ‘meh’…but great for learning rock/pop beats.

          A good book for learning the basics of kit methods. It’ll get you jump started on some standard beats and fills.

          Great

          This book & CD was very helpful. I haven’t played guitar in several years and was able to get right back into it. The lessons go from simple to complex and the CD is great to play along with.

          Really walks through the chords and strings. A lot of familiar songs to work with and learn. Diagrams make it easy to follow!

          a good continuation of Book 1

          This book continues from Book 1. Has notes and chords and discusses some of the music theory such as root notes for chords etc. This is for learning music notes and not for Tab. But learning the primary chords by name, such as C, E or G7, is very valuable. Even if you don’t want to learn all the indiv notes. Learning the chords by name is easier to play than by tab even.

          A mixture of strumming and notation exercises

          The learning purpose of the book could be more clearly defined. Book 1 was designed to help students read music. Book 2 alternates strumming exercises with reading, which could either be desirable or undesirable based on your goals. If your goal is to read music, you are going to have a drastic jump in symbol decoding for music notation fromThe first book and you will need more reading supplements. Students struggle a lot with this book

          great instructional book

          I’m already a bit beyond this book with my playing but it’s a great learning tool anyway. I like all of Hal Leonard books. This is no exception. I like that these books go step by step in progression, each book leading to the next.

        16. Christine in WI –

          Just starting but seems to move on nicely from book 1.

          I had completed and enjoyed all the lessons in book 1 so I decided to continue with this same line of teaching. So far I have enjoyed the content and think it will be very useful in helping me progress in learning to play guitar.

          Easy to interpret

          I have almost completed Book 1 and curiosity got the better of me so I took a quick look through Book 2. It looks to be well written and straightforward. Simple enough to teach yourself and nice to discuss and play along with an instructor.

          the only way to learn guitar

          Hal Leonard books are very well organized and give you step by step instruction to learn your instrument while getting the fundamentals down along with avoiding bad habits. Make sure to get the manual with the audio CD- it is indispensable!

          They do not include the pattern exercises so that a beginner could hear what something sounds like and repeat it

          My biggest problem with the books is that the CD only includes certain tracks. They do not include the pattern exercises so that a beginner could hear what something sounds like and repeat it. Obviously there are hundreds of those in the book, but it would still be helpful to have access to it so I know if I’m doing it right or not.

          Better than book 1

          I have used book one of this series for years in my teaching and finally decided to give book two a shot. It’s so good! There are a bunch of passages that are riffs from legendary tunes. Very straightforward explanation of tab and fingerpicking.Definitely worth it if you/your student is ready.

          Great for the Beginner to move on.

          This book is a follow-on to book 1. I like the Hal Leonard series better than the Mel Bay series. Mel Bay’s books go too far too fast.

          Good, but considerably harder than book 1

          Good book, except Hal Leonard makes a big jump from book 1 to book 2 intellectually. Kind of like going from Elementary School right to High School. Maybe this is because book 1 is typically easier than other Guitar 1 methods from other book companies. it’s definitely the right choice after Hal Leonard 1 (Hal Leonard is an easier system than Mel Bay and some others). Really surprised Hal Leonard hasn’t covered power chords and a warm-up exercise up to this point?

          fun to jam!

          I really like using this book alongside of Mel Bay Book 2. The combination of the two books gives students a great foundation for playing the guitar. This book offers some outstanding practice with strumming patterns. The CD is a must if the student is to really get a feel for playing the style and playing with others. So often students who play guitar don’t getting a chance to play with a group. This CD gives the student this opportunity in addition to making playing the guitar a blast! I have taught many students over the years and have found this book to be extremely popular and well worth the money.

          Simply Excellent!

          I tried a few different guitar method books in teaching my son to play – everyone get you through the notes on the six strings and then dumps you in the middle of no-where.After a few false starts with other methods I found the Hal Leonard Guitar Method books and I absolutely love them. They are the best by far and we’ve been very please with them. I play a bit of guitar but never had formal instruction. These books served as my “lesson plans” for teaching my son and it works!We’ve gone through all three (Book 1, 2 & 3) and then started working with a few specialized/focused books (Blues guitar, Rock guitar, Guitar Theory, etc.). They all move at a good comfortable pace and leverage exercises that build and reinforce the concepts being taught.If you’re thinking about learning to play or teaching your children to play, this book is a great investment.

          Needs complete update

          There’s no question that you can learn to play guitar with this method, but you’re not likely to enjoy the songs. Polly Wolly Doodle, Sinner Man, Frere Jacques, Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire, Kumbayah? I am 60 years old and these songs are too outdated and religious for me. I can’t imagine youngsters enjoying them.

          Big jump from kids book 2.

          I got this book because I thought the kids book 2 and book 1 over lapped too much. But once I got the book 2 I realized it was a huge jump and that book 1 was just right for the next book.

          A bigger step up from Book 1 than I expected so it helped to have done Book 1 well without rushing it. Lots more new things to learn and still very varied and interesting. I also like the layout which somehow seems user friendly. These are very good tutor books, full of fun and not too easy.
