Tutto ok, perfetto

娘がピアノを習い始めたのですが、とこの先生に勧められて購入しました。娘も気に入って頑張ってます（≧∇≦）

As a senior citizen, I enrolled in a beginners piano class at my local community college. This book is what the class used. As a student with some previous musical education, over 50 years ago, this book was an absolute pleasure to progress through. The book is well thought out and the exercises progress slowly, allowing the student to build skills without getting frustrated. I also found the particular musical compositions included to be very appealing. There were people in my class ranging from college age, on up to me - in my 70's. This book worked for all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone, at any age who wants to play.

Hacía años que no estudiaba solfeo y me ha venido fenomenal para refrescar mis conocimientos. Se lo recomiendo a gente que haya aprendido las notas A B C D E F G, y no do, re, mi, etc... porque puede que sea confuso para ellos. Estoy aprendiendo muchísimo y muy rápido. Lo recomiendo. También recomiendo que antes de comprar el CD, vayáis a YouTube, ya que todas las piezas están allí.
