Editorial Review
Lots of piano books offer either in-depth analysis or quick gimmicks that don't really teach music theory. But The Only Basic Piano Instruction Book You'll Ever Need is different. For students who want to learn the basics and dive right into playing, this book skips all the unnecessary trivia on the history of pianos and avoids lengthy digressions on classical and contemporary musicians. Instead, it focuses specifically on piano instruction and includes:

The basics of musical terms, definitions, note-reading structure, and time and key signatures

The foundations for chords and more complicated note constructs

Exercises and sample pieces of music that range from playing simple notes to combining harmony and melody
Perfect even for those starting from scratch, The Only Basic Piano Book You'll Ever Need makes learning to play a cinch.

not a good choice

2007-08-23
This book was not a good choice to learn how to play the piano. It's good reading material...but not good to sit at the piano and try to play

Very Pleased

2007-01-19
I have dabbled in piano here and there and took a beginning class in college. I wanted to continue now that I am older, but didn't want to go through everything all over again. I was very pleased with this book. It did have all the basics, but it was quick enough that you weren't dwelling on them. It gave a great section on the different keys, which is what I am spending my time on now. I thought it was very clear, very straightforward and I enjoyed the exercises in them. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants a summary of basic piano theory or who is committed to studying themselves.

It is good, but not for me

I am new to music and thought this might be "the only basic piano instruction I'll ever need". Maybe I am not musically talented enough, I feel that the book gone far too fast for a beginner - I even have hard time playing the first simple tune. Nevertheless, I must say that the content of the book is really robust and complete, it just that it doesn't suit me. I am better with "Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course" series, and it is a good idea to check that series before you decide
