I am trying to re-learn some of my piano playing skills from childhood, and this was a great place to start. The book is easy to understand and the pieces are perfect for very beginner piano students (and adults who are trying to re-learn how to read bass clef!).

This book is wonderful for very young kids, and I totally want to buy it after borrowing it from the library. Cartoon characters lead you gently through music, note by note, with little songs along the way. My two-year old loves clapping rhythms and learning where each new note appears along the piano's entire length of keys. I even photographed a duet to practice with my husband.

This book was very helpful for learning your keys and was easy to understand. I would recommend it to anyone that is learning piano and doesn’t know where the keys are!
