My First Piano Adventure: Writing Book A

Piano Level: young Beginner – Pre-Reading

Developing the ear and training the eye of the young child is a key component of the Writing Book A. Tucker, the mascot dog who loves to listen, is always on the scene as the young child imitates, matches, and creates rhythmic, and melodic patterns. The multi-cultural friends present improvisation and simple, guided composition activities. Blinker, the owl who loves to look, helps students recognize patterns of rhythms and notes, and introduces sight-reading. The Writing Book offers a holistic, musical approach to theory through discovery, creativity, imagination, and fun!

    So Great.

    These books are so great! My sons have started them at age 5, when we start Kindergarten. The activities are so age appropriate, teach good piano methods, and are fun! The CD is so well done! Great Job, Fabers. I have not found a piano method I like better than Piano Adventures. ~Certified Music Teacher, Piano Teacher of many years

    Not for beginners

    My son and I could not figure out how to follow this book. It had the best reviews for that so maybe it was our fault. Both of us lost motivation after paying for these and being unable to use them. I didn’t want to buy any more products and we have 3 of the books in this series that we can’t use.

  3. jamnotes5

    The right book for the right student.

    I’ve used these books off and on for several years. Sometimes I feel it goes to slowly, sometimes too fast. You have to fit the book to the student. I have other books I use with other young students as well.

    Great workbook companion for My First Piano Adventures

    This is a companion workbook for this great series of 3 books that engage the 4-6 year olds in playing the piano. Wonderful series!

    This is the second time we have a child going through the Faber piano books. They do a great job of combining theory with practice and not moving so quickly as to overwhelm.

    I like everything

  7. Charlie Brown

    Easy and Super Fun!

    We got this book as a recommendation from my daughter’s piano teacher, great and probably the best material out there for young beginners; get them interested on the instrument while having tons of fun. At this price and considering all the content, you can’t go wrong with this if you have a young person interested on learning piano, which can be a traumatic experience. But please keep the learning experience easy and relaxed, Chopin is dead OK?

  8. MikePomeroy

    Gret book, clear instructions, kids love it!

    I really like it. My 7 year old is doing great with a friend of mine teaching her using these books, along with the lesson book and CD. You definitely need the CD or you would be lost. I have no Piano skills and the instructions are clear enough I can help her when she becomes stuck on a section!

    I had already bought the Lesson Book and this is a great addition to it. It has some things in there I wasn’t covering from the lesson book. My 4 year old son can learn from these books and he really likes it.

    These books arrived in record time and in beautiful shape. I use this company most frequently because of their good service and quality of merchandise. This series is great for the beginning piano student.

    Music Teacher’s View

    Faber and Faber books have been a favorite of mine for years; however, this is the first time I’ve taught using “My First Piano”. It is absolutely wonderful! Five-year-old students need activity, activity, activity. This series provides fantastic instruction and the necessary “action” younger children require.

    5 Stars!

    Great series of beginner books. My daughter is learning how to play and read music faster than I expected since she has never been exposed to it. I would definitely recommend.

  29. Victoria Lambrozo

    GREAT method

    I like using these books for my young beginners. They are colorful and easily personalised for a specific student. Students love to color and write in their books.

    this is the book her piano teacher praises. it is simple, large notes. silly pictures to make it fun. very basic early beginning piano.

  33. SRoth

    excellent!

    Purchased for our 5 year old son and it’s a great book. Neither myself nor my husband plays the piano, so this was great because it was a how to learn to play the piano for both mom and child.

  34. AmandaR

    Great book for lessons

    My 6 year old just started piano lessons, and this is what her teacher is using. Far better than the stodgy and stale books of my youth. She is very happy with them, so I am too!

  35. FigMommy Love

    Very kid friendly

    Very good book for beginners. Not just for kids. I learned from this book too.

  36. Rachel B. Landers

    Precious and Solid

    We love this curriculum. The accompanying CD makes practice a breeze at home. My daughters will actually sneak off to practice in their free time. The exercises are classic but they have had an update of fun songs and great graphics which keep little kids interested. I highly recommend this beginner book!

    A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO PIANO!

    Bought the set of 3 FABER books for a 3 going on 4 year old that I’ve been caring for since he was 20 months and he loved them immediately! He’s highly intelligent, taught himself to read at age 2 and LOVES music! But he’s also a typical 3 year old in that he get’s hyper, has a short attention span and needs a lot of handholding to properly learn piano. I know piano, read the amazing reviews on this trio of books (lesson, writing and xmas) and decided this sounded like a great introduction to piano. He was truly inspired to commit to learning piano after opening the books. I highly recommend buying both the lesson and writing books (obviously the xmas book is optional), especially because the lesson book comes with a CD, which of course he loved because it ties in with the book and acclimated him to the whole concept of piano lessons. And the writing book is something he can grow into. I will say that he participated in Music Together for over a year and has that whole collection of books and CD’s–so he’s quite familiar with following music and singing and playing along. But he would open these books on his own, pop in the CD, follow along and grab his Casio keyboard which I bought him a while back (another great purchase). I also spent some time with him going through the exercises and explaining things which is obviously an essential part of the process. All in all, I was so happy (and relieved) that he took to the books because you never know about these things!

    Easy to use

    This book is fun and easy to use. The only thing I wish they had was a QR code to direct each song to an online video. The CD that comes with the book is not helpful when they are obsolete anyways.

    Good skills taught, but not my preferred method

    I bought this for my 5 yr old, and while it does cover basic skills for piano, it requires a lot of adult assistance.

  54. Ellen M. DuBois

    Great piano lesson books! Challenging on each level, 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.

    Really cute books. My kids are really enjoying learning piano with this series and enjoy the music that comes along with it (we use the free audio online but the main book also comes with a CD). Very active and a lot more fun than another book we used. She is a very early beginner so it will be interesting to see how this book progresses compared to the one my son used. He made a lot of progress in the book he used but this one is definitely more fun.

    This style of learning didn’t work for us.

    We just need something more straight forward. There is a lot of fluff in between the substance.

    First Piano Lessons

    My daughter has been doing well on these books. She is five and is starting to be able to follow a beat. These books make it fun too with their “characters” and the phone app that goes along with the books. Using them with my younger son also to play around on since he wants to be like his bigger sister.

    Would DEFINITELY recommend for preschool piano students!

    I have one piano student who just turned four, and this is by far the best method I have found to teach preschoolers. I used a different method with her before (that was designed specially for preschoolers) but she still seemed to struggle with basic concepts. Now that we are using this method, she was really flourished and grown in her skills! It moves at a perfect pace for the average preschooler; there is always something new and fun to do, but they don’t move too quickly into note names and reading on the staff. I will definitely be using this for any other preschool students I may teach!
