  1. ReneeRenee –

    Good book but came soggy??

    The book is good but for some reason it came soggy and oily on every page?? When you touch it it feels oily and it hasn’t dried out. This isn’t a big deal though, I like all the songs.

    Nice piano book

    I’ve been using the same kind of piano books and I am always pleased with the quality and ease of use.

  5. JF –

    Great Teaching Tool

    I have used these books beginning at Level 1 for several of my daughter. We have enjoyed the style and ease and they have learned very well from them. Very recommended.

  6. Simple Mom –

    I would have like to see a bit more on syncopation

    Level 3A first half focuses mainly on rhythm knowledge and time signature of 3/8, 6/8, triplet. The second half introduces chromatic scale, D major scale, and 1 ocatave arpeggios and further explores ledger lines. This is the first level where the songs have a some meat to them and challenging spots for the average kid. I would have like to see a bit more on syncopation. But perhaps it will be further explored in higher levels.There is no CD for this level. But you can go to the piano adventure website for MIDI or REAL player for the songs.

    Good foundation for students.

    The Faber Piano Adventures are a good foundation for students, helping reinforce the basics in technique, performance, theory and musicianship. The lesson book works in conjunction with theory, technique and performance books, but be aware that you are buying the same editions. I’ve had it happen before when I have bought the 2nd edition of the lesson book, but not theory and therefore had the corresponding pages not match up. Music is printed in relatively big print which is great for student and teacher! Not always the most challenging method book if you have fast learners with talent and ability.

    NOT THE SECOND EDITION

    The description says second edition. The bag it came in said second edition, but it is NOT the second edition. It is copyright 1998, not 2013, with totally different songs. I got the sightreading book to go along with this, but the songs are not the same so it is not very useful. It is not worth returning, but I am very disappointed that they are still selling old books on Amazon without saying so. They should clearly state that this is not the second edition.

  22. Sharine Borslien –

    Piano Adventures Series is Great!

    I have been teaching piano at the beginner and intermediate levels for ten years. I find the Faber & Faber Piano Adventures Lesson Book to be thorough with regard to well-rounded piano instruction. Their newer version duplicates some of the supplemental materials that I provide (i.e., pentachords, scales, I-IV-V chords), which my students learn far in advance of the book’s timeline. By the time most of my students complete level 2A, they have memorized all the major pentachords and scales and are working on the minor keys. Still, for under $8 per lesson book, this series is affordable and packed with songs that my students enjoy learning. I appreciate the massive efforts of Faber & Faber to make piano study fun and steadily progressive.

    Trust Faber for Fun Music!

    As a piano teacher, I’ve used lots of different piano books, and Piano Adventures are the best. There is a good mix of classical and fun pieces in level 3A.

    My daughter switched to Faber’s Level 1 books after starting out in Alfred’s. She has progressed quickly in the Faber books and they seem to be more of a “click” to her. She’s now entering 3A and is enjoying the new books immensely. We really appreciate the variety available at each level, including Popular Repertoire and Christmas songs. The Faber Theory is also more interesting than Notespeller, which is what she used instead for a couple years.

    Really Enjoying it even as an Adult.

    As an adult there are a lot of options for lesson books. I’ve now been through the first two Levels of Piano Adventures “Older Beginners”, after the 2nd Level of that series you are supposed to move onto 3A of this series. Which means that Older Beginners encompasses Primer, Level 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B. I was worried at first because the series is intended for a younger audience, but after trying a few other “Adult” Series this one has been the most comprehensive and understandable.I am working with a teacher as well, and of course that will change how things look.

    This is the recommended book that our piano teacher had us buy. The progression in the difficulty and learning of songs is good.

    Very good piano textbook

    My daughter has been using Faber series for a year. Very well organized and all the songs in the books are beautiful and fit to the right level. My daughter improved fast by using this textbook.

  31. Tami –

    I would recommend this book because it is fun!

    You get a nice selection of pieces in this series: some folk tunes, patriotic, classical. They are presented in an easy to learn format that is appealing to many ages. It uses a multi-key approach. I would recommend using Technic, Theory, books with this for lessons. The performance books are great also!I have used many piano books to teach my students over the years and this is one of my favorites. I very rarely have a student that isn’t interested in practicing the pieces in these books.

    Very nice!

    These Piano Adventure books are wonderful! They are bright and colorful and go in perfect steps for a young learner. My daughter has used many of these and is doing great with piano lessons! An added bonus is there is a certificate of completion in the back of each book so your child gets an “award certificate” when it is completed.

      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

      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.

      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.

      Good Guitar Lesson Book

      This is a great book in a great series. Alfred puts out excellent quality education material. Their step-by-step approach helps you or your student make steady progress, not just learning chords but understanding rhythm and musical notation. I’m using this teaching guitar online during COVID. I have a copy and my students have their own. The price is very good for the quality of music curriculum this is.

        What my wife used to learn the uke….

        From “Twinkle, twinkle little star,” to “Michelle,” I can hear amazing progress in the other room. She has used the book learning to play beautifully. Easy to follow because of tableture and music, so she is learning how to read music. Unlike many “how to” books, the layout is user friendly and contains the variety she was looking for. As a guitar player myself, some of the advanced arrangements are easily transferred, so we can pick and strum together. A good buy, even without the CD.

        Not as Good as Book One

        I thought this wasn’t has good as Book 1. I couldn’t use several of the songs included for practice. The book included the lyrics and chords for these, without the score, so I had no idea how the melody went. There were other songs with their scores and the instruction was just as good as Book 1. If you like the Hal Leonard Method, you will find the book useful, but be prepared for a little frustration.

        Overall I am enjoying this book.

        I really like the audio access. Some of the music staffs have missing lines so hard to determine correct notes. I like being able to zoom the chord pics.

        Kindle version doesn’t have audio

        I bought book one and the audio was embedded. I liked it so I went ahead and bought book two even though I am not ready for it yet.The audio is not embedded in this book and there is no code to access the audio. The content is probably as good as book one but you really need the audio as a beginner. I regret this purchase.According to the Hal Leonard website the audio content should be embedded by the vendor so it looks like Amazon screwed this up. I will update if I find out how to get the audio.

        Hal Leonard Method book 2

        I have had a Uke for some time but finally decided it was time to learn it and Hal Leonard help me accomplish some of that because his way of learning was easy to understand and the lessons helped me to achieve some very good knowledge about my Uke. If you are a beginner this is the set of books to begin with. Good luck you all future Uke players!

        Could be helpful but certainly not a “method” at all!

        I didn’t see any method in the “Method..” – it’s a bunch of scores loosely attached to various subjects like hammer-ons, pull-off and like, but 90% it’s picking notes and nothing else, no strumming, no picking patterns, let alone chord-notes melody or different musical genresThe bottom line, it could give you some additional ideas when you’re already good with the instrument, but don’t try to use it as a self-teach book, go straight for “Ukulele for Dummies” if you really want to understand the instrument

        Good for adults, not suitable for children

        Good for adults but not suitable for children due to the subject matter of some of the songs. “I plunged a knife into her breast” (Banks of the Ohio), fighting and drinking (Sloop John B), drinking (Rye Whiskey), going to jail (Pay Me My Money Down). imprisonment (Worried Man Blues), etc. This is the classic material of folk music and nothing wrong with it, but it is not for kids. For my younger uke students, I like Everybody’s Ukulele Method by Ukulele Mike Lynch.

        Finishing Second Book

        I’m not much of a judge of musical method books but I’ve finished book one and almost this second book and I am learning to play the ukulele. I’ve moved on to sheet music for songs that I’m interested in and that is fun. Most of these “method” books use old public domain music that is not very interesting. There are some online sources for specific songs with uke notation for very reasonable prices. Just look for sheet music.I think that both books of this series have been very useful. There is also a “chord finder” book in the series that is probably worth your consideration.Uke on!

        Very happy with my purchase

        All the Hal Leonard books I have purchased over the years have been exactly what was described. They are written in a way that makes them easy to understand. They progress from easy to more challenging songs in a logical manner. I will keep buying from this author for years to come.

        A lot to learn here, but some missed opportunities.

        After playing through book one of this method in the morning, I took the opportunity to play through book two in the afternoon. The format is the same as book one, and continues where it left off.The Pros, Weakness and Cons for this Ukulele Method:*Continues to have you pluck traditional melodies, learning new keys, notes and bits of theory as you go.*Continues to include traditional notation & tablature for most of the pieces.*Teaches you three major moveable chords, very useful information. The author does not, however, back this up with much practicle application (though there are dozens possible).*Covers hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides, but only provides one piece to reinforce these important techniques.*Covers a few new strumming patterns and techniques: Ragtime & Calypso Patterns and the Five-Finger Roll & Triplet Stroke.*Introduces the chord families of D, Bb and A as well as further exploration of minor keys. At this point, if you’re using this method, you should be used to the fast pace of learning new, sometimes difficult chords.As with the first volume, I think this is an excellent introduction to melodic picking, but does not fully capitolize on the opportunity to add harmonic counterpoint and other techniques of melodic soloing on the instrument. Chording continues to move along at a fast pace, but that is just the author’s approach – though I’d prefer a more gradual approach, with more reinforcement of the principles introduced (a lot of lost opportunity here). However, if you choose this method and follow through with it, you will learn a lot that you can apply to whatever music you choose to learn later on.M Ryan TaylorUkulelePlay.com

        Great Way to Start

        I like the size of the printed music and the fact that it has tablature along with the melody line and also the ukulele chords (and words). It is easy to follow, well written, and a quality book to get started. I play guitar so the chords and strumming came easily. This book starts with melody playing and helps me learn the location of the notes on the strings. It is a quality product. I also bought book 1. Together they cover most of the commonly used keys.

        Good follow up from Book 1

        Good follow up from book 1, however, you really have to have a good grasp of ALL the material in Book 1 before diving into this. Lots of theory is covered and it’s pacing is good. I teach a lot of youngsters and prefer not to teach them in method books with TAB. I get around this by not telling them how to read it HAHA! If there was a TAB free versions of this book I would give it 5 stars.

        Like Method Book 1, I was skeptical about this method book, but this was just a reminder to me to not judge a book by its size. Every page of this 50 page book is chock full of lessons and songs that progress as you learn. This is a MUST for a new ukulele player.
