Good quick read

This book is a good quick read. You can finish the book in a couple hours. This book is for persons that have tried to learn piano, but have since given up. It's a refreshing take on piano instruction. This book would've gotten 5 stars had it not been for a couple of errors spotted in musical notation. Novice piano players should give it a try.

Great instructions

Explained very simply and complete. Thank you for putting this together. I only wish I could find a book to show me how to play piano music on a guitar.
