Intermediate Adult

My teacher used this book when she was a young student. One should be able to get a lot of mileage out of this book as it has many pieces from all the periods (baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary). It is a good choice for anyones music libray.
Fabulous for Teen and Adult Beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book over 35 years ago when I started to teach myself piano. As a young teen I would have been bored by the "Twinkle, twinkle" type music books. Within weeks I was able to play recognizable classical melodies, and yet the pieces were challenging enough that I could work in this book for a couple of years. Found it again after decades in storage; falling apart, but still precious. The fingering guides are excellent.
Bribing the young to play!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My young daughter was stuck on playing disney or nursery songs, and it was like pulling teeth to get her to just "try" one of the classics, 'you might like it!' After much goading, she finally "tried" a bonafide classical piece from this volume; some of it was challenging, some were easy. Ok, now we fight about who gets to play which classical piece first! :-D
Beautiful melodies

I thought this book was great when I was young and learning to play the piano and I STILL like going back and playing some of them. They are not just "easy" pieces, they are pieces that are beautiful in and of themselves regardless of the difficulty. Perhaps they are beautiful because of their simplicity. Now I'm greatly looking forward to my daughter learning the pieces. She's just starting her first piece from the book today.
Excellent!

I was looking to expand my piano playing skills and came across this book. It offers a great selection of challenging, yet beautiful pieces. A must have for any pianist.
