Your Golden Ears: First Piano Lessons for Adult Beginners Vol. 1: Learn With 5 Minutes Daily Practice, Master Finger Dexterity & Technique Using Sheet Music, Songs, Music Notation and More!

I have recently started to use this book to help me learn and I have to say I am super impressed. So much so I am about to order the next one. I am a complete beginner and this is so well written, explained and the short videos, making it visual too, to assist, means everything makes sense. The fact that you are learning the music theory along the way with it is just amazing. I feel I am not the most academic, I am definitely more of a creative and I thought I may struggle with a written book to learn, rather than hands on, but this is as I say, so well done and I am really enjoying it so far. I have learnt a lot already. Highly recommend.

Excellent book. I have learned a lot in a very short time. Easy to understand, easy to follow and progress along. This book is better than my daughter’s school music book!

I was pleased when I recently received this book as a gift. It is comprehensive, well presented, and, obvious to me, the author's labour of love. I should emphasise that the course of lessons it contains are most definitely aimed at the absolute beginner. In other words this first book, volume one of a two book series, is designed for a person that has no prior experience of either playing the piano or sight reading music. If this exactly describes you then it might be perfect for you. I should point out that this does not best describe me, as I received my copy when I had already been learning to play the piano for almost a year. Plus I have been able sight read music for quite a while longer. That said, because I'm a relatively recent beginner, I think I'm still well placed to recommend this book for absolute beginners because of my personal learning experiences. Even though I'm not an absolute beginner, I can still say that I have enjoyed reading through this book, from beginning to end and sampling the lessons. Having done so, I might additionally say that I wish I'd received my copy earlier. It has provided me with a useful resourse for revision. That's because it has been compiled as a one stop shop, stock piled high, with just about everything I've previously learned but from a multitude of sources. If you are an absolute beginner, then in my opinion this book will provide you with a structured course that will enable you to make good progress rapidly; at the starting point of your journey towards becoming a piano player.

Easy to navigate found it very helpful.Thanks for suggesting this book.Lesley

Great book. It's helping the family play electric piano.

I'm a latecomer to learning the piano, and this book makes taking the first steps very easy, within a couple of days I was reading music and playing Ode to Joy.

I bought this for myself I find the notes confusing . So I am lettering them instead and it’s so much easier and more convenient and fun . Finding the letters on the keyboard mark them down. And work from them

I found this book to be a great, warm and gentle introduction to playing piano for the adult beginnerGreat explanations, exercises, theory, and presented in a way which re-enforces lessons learnt so that you're continuously building out a solid foundation in preparation for moving onto Vol 1.A note for UK folk, like the vast majority of books and tutorials, it uses whole/half/quarter/eighth note terminology rather than the UK-language of semibreve/minim/crotchet/quaver, but that does not detract from it being an excellent adult tutorial, but just something for you to be aware of.In addition, there is the option to join their virtual piano community of adult learners so that you're all sharing the journey 🙂
