Book Reviews of The Piano Handbook: A Complete Guide for Mastering Piano
Book Review: Exactly what I was looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
After learning the Major scales and arpeggios with hands together from a Berkley book and wanted something that wasn't going to restrict me to playing with one hand for a month before getting the left hand involved and I found it. The pace of this book is exactly as I had hoped. I found the order that material is introduced was very well thought out and the short songs in the first unit are excellent for developing finger independence. I am currently finishing up Unit 2 and I could not be more satisfied with my progress. I think a complete beginner could pick up this book and start learning fairly quick if they spend enough time getting all the material in Unit 1 down well. This book is clearly the best of the self learning methods.
