  1. Alice Steinmetz –

    Helpful tips.

    I am a very adult pianist not taught shaping as a child. I am teaching myself to do this throuh Utube and getting tips from friends and books. I start practice with these exercises that are much below my skill level, but are great for shaping wrists, forearms and body posture.

  2. Ellen M. DuBois –

    Great piano teaching books that challenge my students from Primer to Advanced

    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.

      great for refresher and beginner

      this book is perfect. shows you everything you need to know,from what each drum is, cymbals, why & where, proper way to hold sticks, and wonderful training techniques and practices. I also pull it up on YouTube and play them as well. I also got the drum set method. I recommend it really to all drummers.

      JUST THE SNARE AND BASS DRUMS

      I know everyone says you should start here when learning to play drums. I’m not so sure. This book seems to have been written in 1987 for a kid in a marching band who has a music teacher working with him. I’m trying to learn my way around my new drum kit, but this book has nothing about coordination or technique with toms or cymbals. There seems to be almost no explanation at all of what’s going on – just a few pages of reference material then endless pages of sheet music to play the snare and bass drums with increasing complexity. I’m following the book, but without other resources like a real instructor and YouTube channels, this book won’t be much help. In fairness, it was written at a time well before people attempted to become self-taught at anything.

      A very good book for anyone taking drum lessons with a teacher.

      For the last 8 years my passion for music has grown so much that I have learned how to play (at least to some degree) numerous musical (Ukulele, Harmonica, Recorder, Flute, American drumming and hand drums, and many other percussion) instruments. Over the years I have taken many courses and purchased numerous books to improve my skill level.I just purchased this wonderful 80 page manual (Alfred’s drum Method book 1 by Sandy Feldstein and Dave Black) which is organized into 39 drum playing lessons. The introductory part of this volume covers the snare drum, getting ready to play, the bass drum, the cymbals and elements of music. The lessons cover a wide range of drum practice lessons but without a drum playing teacher it will not be easy to follow some of the material. They do have a Drum DVD available for purchase which no doubt will help in learning the lessons in the manual.If you are taking drum lessons this book will enhance your drum learning sessions.Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga stretching for seniors and the physically challenged).

      Great way to learn drums

    15. Carol S Long –

      Good practice drum and music for beginners

      My son can play most of the music he started drumming last year. He likes it and took it home to practice where his mom has a snare and high hat in the garage so I’d say he enjoys it more easily than a big set at times.

    16. MIKE OHEARN –

      I use this book often

      This is a great book for beginners to intermediate drummers. I use it with my students often. It does jump a litlle bit without explaing some of the notation changes, but overall, it’s still a great resource

    17. Seth Z –

      Get it, and don’t call me Sandy.

      Alfred is my best friend. That’s truth. I only wish I could Alfred in person, but I have recently discovered that Alfred is no longer with us. He apparently was a man named Sandy. I suppose I would forgo using my real name when writing a book about drum methods. “Sandy’s Drum Method”…. nope, it just doesn’t have the right sound (get it? .. right sound?)Anyway, the book is great for those wanting to learn the basics of reading snare drum sheet music. It won’t make you a master of the drum, but it is a step in the right direction. If you have a yearning to learn drumming, or just want to know why some music notes look so very weird, this book will help you in either case.

      Great beginner’s book

      A drumming teacher asked that we purchase this book. We have been using it for about 5 months.Like other Alfred books, the quality of the book is excellent. Staffs and notes are easy to read. The paper is thick and the book stays open well on a stand. We have packed it in suitcase and brought it with us on vacation to practice, and it holds up well.The lessons progress on a logical pace and is just right for the beginner. Sometimes our kids get frustrated easily. With this book, they are making progress and learning about rhythm very easily (there’s still griping about practice, trust me); it makes learning more fun. We practice one page daily and it takes about 20 minutes to do it a few times. Would definitely recommend it.

      Drummer Songbook

      Purchased the songbook for my son who recently particpated in the Indiana State School Music Association – ISSMA comprtition. We saw two other drummers with the same book. My son has been playing just over a year and the Solo #10 he played was challenging and well received by the judge. The songbook was delivered on time and undamaged. I would recommend this song book to other drummers.

    32. Ron Edwards –

      One of the best of over 50 available snare drum books

      I’ve examined over 50 books on snare drum instruction and this is one of the top two. (Drum Method by William Schinstine & Fred Hoey is the other.) Good modern quality and sequence of material. 39 lessons and 23 solos. 2-line combination studies for each lesson (good for duets). Counts and sticking indicated in light gray. Nice illustrations for each new rudiment. Roll is introduced in Lesson 17, 5-stroke in Lesson 18, 9-stroke in Lesson 19, 13- and 17-stroke in Lesson 20, flam Lesson 27, drag in Lesson 34, ruff in Lesson 35. Minor nitpick is that you need to skip around to get rudiments in a better order. Also, it’s missing the single stroke rolls and paradiddles! Brief bass drum and cymbal technique. Great value for the money.

      Basic book

      My son has used similar drum books in the past. This is the book his teacher requested. My son says that it is very basic, so if you are looking for basic then this is a good book. However my son has been playing for a few years now and is bored with this book, so I don’t recommend it for experienced drummers.

      I’ve given drum lessons with various lesson books. This one is highly recommended. It has a lesson for each element so that beginners understand the element well before moving on. It doesn’t go too fast for beginners. I’m using this now for two new beginner drummers and it is ideal for them.

      It’s a classic. I appreciate that the book is slow and methodical (great for elementary school kids), and that they emphasize the counting of the beats/subdivisions. It is also written by percussionists (vs. other methods like “Essential Elements” — terrible organization for percussionists, although it’s good for the winds and brass) which I appreciate.

      Probably best used with instructor, but can also teach yourself with it

      My daughter has been using the Hal Leonard Guitar Method books (she’s on #3 now) in conjunction with regular in person lessons. I’m toddling along behind her now, using them on my own. Obviously regular practice is what makes the most difference, but the book walks you through the basics clearly, helps you build strength and dexterity at a reasonable pace, and is easy to use. Would recommend it if you’re not starting from “0” in terms of your music knowledge or if using them in conjunction with regular lessons from a teacher.

      One of the better beginner guitar books.

      I have been a guitar player-teacher for over 60 years. In the old days we had students struggle through antiquated beginner books. Then came the Alfred method that we used for many years until Hal Leonard came out with this one. Students seem to make good progress using this well laid out book. Highly recommended with or without a teacher. The pages are laid out in good order with new skills presented then a page of two of reinforcing exercises. Remember if you try to teach yourself your teacher will not knowany more than you do. Find a good teacher!

      Teacher’s Favorite Teaching Tool

      .I’ve used several methods for teaching beginning guitarists and I like this Hal Leonard Book 1 the best. The print is big and clear. I like that it begins with teaching the individual notes showing them both on the scale and on the guitar.

    9. Stacy Howe –

      It is what it is

      Easy to order. Had a hard time finding this book locally so had to turn to Amazon.It’s moderately priced but I’ve seen cheaper. Plan accordingly and you don’t have to pay more, lesson learned.

    10. A and M –

      I bought this because I want to work somewhere that uses it

      The chord chart is at the back of the book by the way. This book is based around the idea that you are learning while having someone teach you, which is okay for the purpose I needed, but I don’t agree with material designed like that specifically for “beginners”. If you’re going to buy a book as a beginner, you are probably looking to learn on your own. If you are buying a book where it is only most useful if you have a teacher, you are probably a teacher.

      Good Start–individual notes as well as beginner chords

      I actually bought this book because it helps teach the individual notes as well as chords. Eventually, the path between classical guitar and pop (or rock) Rhythm, or lead, this book is a good start.

      Really good book. I like the provided music in it and the range of difficultly levels of the pieces. I taught myself with it. I have a music background and play the flute so it was easy to understand the theory of it. That may be the only issue for others but you will catch on or not play.

      Builds on skills nicely and in a very logical and easy to follow manner.

      I was looking for a book to use for middle school, guitar class. I decided not to use this one, after checking out about 4-5 guitar methods. The kids version of this one has many more popular songs int it and I am keeping that, but in the end, I ended up going with the Ernie Ball method. I liked that one because it is broken down very simply, has larger print, is easy to read, and includes better site reading practice, also, it has more tabs, and breaks down nicely.

      Great book to learn guitar.

      Easy to follow and to use. My 8 year old daughter’s teacher recommended this book for her to use s a practice guide at home. Because she is young, I do need to help her read through the exercises. This was easy to do even though I do not have any guitar playing experience or ability.

      It could teach on a more basic level.It skips over basic symbols and terms a beginner does not know and then doesn’t introduce them and expects a student to somehow know. A beginning student doesn’t even know the definition of a note.

      If you are looking for a good basic beginners book this one is highly recommended

      This is the book which I have been seeking. It is very similar to the one I used when I took lessons as a child. If you are looking for a good basic beginners book this one is highly recommended. It will not make you a rock/country or Christian recording artist overnight, it will give you a firm foundation for reading notes and learning the strings.

    30. Amazon Customer –

      Very basic.

      If you’re learning to play guitar and learn the basic notes and chords then this book is what you want. It’s very corny and the songs are outdated but it sure does train you what you need to learn.

      Excellent book. Kinda nice that they teach you the notes on a string one at a time. However right after you learn the 4th string it skips to a couple chords and then resumes to learning the 5th string about 10 pages later. Just make sure you use the table of contents. You need to skip around at times for a more logical flow. Also, it would be nice if scales were in the book which incorperated what you learned thus far. I got these from my guitar teacher. I feel the book is really good but it is missing just a little something. I would still recommend it over other books I have seen.

      No tabs, goes straight to staff notation

      I didn’t do the “peek inside”; too bad for me. This book teaches you the staff notation (aka reading music). The problem is, the tab notation (which this book doesn’t use) is so much easier for a new guitarist to learn and be able to play something.Sure, being able to read music is all good and everything, but it can also be a turn-off for kids who are just starting out. I think tabs and guitar go together really well for a beginner.

      Great book, especially for beginners

      I’ve been teaching guitar for about 8 years now. This was the first book I used for my students and I’ve stuck with it for all these years. The book has a good method for teaching the student to read music, the songs are good and the cds add another demension to the lessons, asa whole. I only wish book one got into chords a little more in-depth but I have found a way around that issue.

      I bought this because my husband got me a guitar for Christmas and I am taking lessons. It is a great book for beginners, teaching the strings and how to hold your guitar and pick, and then progressing slowly through notes on the various strings. The songs that are provided are fun to play. Great starting point for someone who wants to learn the guitar.

      would have been 4 stars but no sound files

      At a private teacher I do like this book…. but obtaining sound files is proving to be next to impossible. Of course you can shell out 13.46 for the cd but that seems a little unfair. Anyway, I did find it in iTunes store and purchased it and … viola….the sound files are included and actually will play….. but they are too fast for beginners. My plan was to find these files on my laptop (I know they are not coming from the cloud as they work even when I turn off my wifi) and use the Anytune app to slow them down…. but I can’t find them on my hard drive! They are there somewhere … but I can’t locate them. Anyway, if you are reading this and have found these files please let me know in a review. I would say in the questions section but for some reason I can’t find the “ask question ” link…. ugh.

      Been around for a generation

      The original edition(s) of this classic beginner’s book date back to the 1960s. When I was 8 or 9 years old (1965-ish), my dad bought a beginner’s guitar for me, along with this book. I was glad to see that the book is still around [in an updated edition], and I bought it as a future gift for my grandson… or someone else if he decides he doesn’t want to learn the guitar.

      very good

      My friend wanted me to teach her 8 year old son how to play the guitar, so she asked a retired music teacher what a good book to use is, and he recommended this one. So we each got it and so far I am very pleased with it. I have never known how to read music (I learned to play chords years ago, but never to read music)but this book teaches to read music as you learn which string of the guitar plays which note and where it is on the music staff. I am learning things as I teach my little friend also. I really like this book. It is simple to understand and it is laid out in a way that I (and my student) don’t feel overwhelmed. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about playing than just chords.

      Easy to understand and very helpful

      I’m three years in to re-teaching myself piano with Alfred’s books and I’ve always wanted to play guitar as well so I bought this one. All of Alfred’s books are easy to understand but, as with anything, practice makes perfect. I’ve been doing the lessons for just over a month now and am pleased with my progress. Playing any instrument takes time and practice and I find myself wishing I could play more than three simple lines of ‘Ode To Joy’ but ,as with the piano, I know I’m learning things at this necessary stage and this book is very helpful.

      Not the most inspiring elementary music book.

      This is an elementary level book, which has pictures, fretboard diagrams and standard notation. Many of the songs are traditional ones but others would be unfamiliar to the twelve year old target reader. It was designed to use song files which were not included and not linked so I suppose this means the learner must learn the song before they can hear it played. So I doubt that any child I know would be motivated to practice without strong mentoring from a teacher or family member. At this point I’d say it would not be as effective otherwise.

      As good as ever

      Every bit as good as when it was part of my training in 1965 forming a strong foundation for learning music theory as it applies to Guitar. This purchase is in an effort to show my Son how to fret with all Four fingers.

    23. catherinepb –

      Good method, but not so good theory

      It seems to progress in a very methodical way from one string, two fingers, onto the next string and eventually all fingers. So the student can work up those callouses and build the finger strength gradually. I’m not sure I like how the theory is presented, and so I use a separate book for the music theory. That’s why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

      Miss the chord chart

      It is still a good tutorial for learning to read music on a guitar. However, I REALLY miss the chord chart that they used to have inside the back cover. It is now best for only note by note playing.I used this many, many years ago when I was learning guitar, so this has probably been through several new editions since then. But, one of the most useful references was the the index with finger charts for nearly any chord. If I had known that it no longer contained this, I probably wouldn’t have purchased it. Will have to use on-line chord references instead.
