    I'm so happy to have found this rare gem in your selection. It was wrapped carefully and arrived safely in a few days. The cookbook was impeccably described and all the pics showed a great amount of details. Considering how few of these are around the price was very reasonable. Thank you for the great service, I'm looking forward to finding more delightful treasures!

    Ultimate first learning guide for piano.

    Easy songs, large notes and staffs, book is longer than tall so pages don’t flip while child is playing. I learned from this and now am teaching my granddaughter out of her shiny new book. Same mouse and owl. Hasn’t changed in 50 years. Don’t fix what ain’t broke! 😊 Highly recommend.

  • Wonderful books

    Going back over 70+ years, I used these books as a beginning student. They have not changed AT ALL in content in that time - that tells me that it is an amazing product - and as a teacher, I use them daily!!!

  • Teaching Little Fingers to Play

    This is the BEST beginner's book ever! I've used it for over 50-years and wouldn't consider anything else as the starting point for my students. It builds skills and knowledge for sight reading music, expressive playing, emphasizing excellent timing and broadening knowledge of music in general. I'd give it TEN STARS if they were available! Continuing with this series, First Grade, Second Grade books, etc., is highly recommended.

  • Music book

    This book has been updated since my childhood when similar course was used. As a music teacher I am using this book for older adults who just want to br able to play the piano. Theory is taught along with each lesson.
