Fun beginner set

This is part of a four-book set that works together to teach young beginners. I have used them with students as young as 4. The concepts are easy to teach, and the pictures are entertaining.

Completely Satisfied

Our first child borrowed this book from another student of our piano teacher, our second child is starting lessons and there was no loaner available this time around. The book arrived in excellent shape and very promptly. SheetmusicPlus knows what they are doing!

Great for the beginner!

I bought this for my 11-year old grandson, who is just learning how to play the piano. This is a good book to use after completing the lessons in "The Primer."
