Book Reviews of How To Play Popular Piano In 10 Easy Lessons (Fireside Books (Fireside))

Book Review: Great piano starter book.
Summary: 5 Stars

I just started trying to teach myself piano a few months ago using a few books and stuff off the web. I knew nothing about piano or notes. This book gives a lot of tips for someone just starting out and it is interesting and easy to read. I read it once, and now I am going through it again. I am really glad I bought this book.
