John W. Schaum Piano Course, C: The Purple Book (Leading to Mastery of the Instrument)

Good learning aid

Slowly working through this series of well tried and tested learning course. Very small steps in learning, nice catchy tunes, love this series pf books. Would reccomend for any age (i am 68) of person wanting to either learn or improve thier playing.

Excellent. Kids finding it a really good course to follow and making great progress.

My daughter is moving onto grade 2 and was recommended several books including this one. She started off on the red book in the series and really enjoyed playing the pieces so decided to carry on with John Schaum.

Delivered on time . As described , recommended by my tutor

These books are great to gradually progress through grades without even realising,for adults as well as children. Though aimed at children, they're great for both & don't patronise. Highly recommend.

The whole series is great for all ages. Sight reading fun music is important to a musician.Adults and children use this series along with other ones. Variety is critical and this series has plenty!

I was taught piano in the fifties using this series of books. I havent played since then. I was surprised to find the course still in print. I am working my way through the books again. They are very very good.I can thoroughly recommend them

Useful for my daughter’s piano class.

Jahre ein, Jahre aus- John Schaum Bücher sind immer der Renner unter Klavieranfänger.Lehrer mögen sie sowohl ihre Schüler auch. Gar nicht zu kindlich wenn es um fundiertes Lernen geht.Die bunte Bilder machen die Sache rund!

Product was very well packaged and delivered in good time. Recommended!

This was my 96 year old grandmother's standby introductory book for teaching children how to play the piano. She taught all of her 5 children and many of their friends in the neighborhood (that was how she made extra money as a stay at home mother and piano teacher), me and my sisters, and anyone else who happened to come along and wanted to know how to play the piano. She made it so easy! It was this book and the book called "Teaching Little Fingers To Play" (red book) that were her go to books for beginners. She played piano for most of her life and had many techniques for making it easy to learn how to play. I have had other teachers who use other books and they made learning the piano difficult and the books were challenging. These books are old, but a great resource and easy reference. I would go to these ones first before getting any others for beginning piano players and people who are learning how to read music. This green book would follow the red, "Teaching Little Fingers To Play" book.

This was the book I learned to play piano with so I was so happy to find it! It arrived on-time without any issues. Would recommend this seller to others!
