Play Piano in a Flash for Kids!: A Fun and Easy Way for Kids to Start Playing the Piano

Seems more written for adults than kids but mine is managing to get through it with some help. I play guitar and know very little of music theory other than where to put my fingers but it seems to be enough for her. She's 8 and inherited the familial musical inclinations so that may be a factor. I wish Scott had a kids video, his adult videos are great, even I managed to quickly learn a few tunes and from them can fake a blues tune but there's little music that kids like in the adult stuff.

A small book, difficult to use as you work on it's lessons at the piano. Needs to be larger, and perhaps bound in spiral. I had appreciated the author's method, but the book is not what I expected-- so I am returning mine.

I used this book to teach myself to play.

Came on time but not at all easy. If you are a beginner you won't know what you in the heck it's talking about

Sorry, Scott, but this is not written for Kids. I may keep it for maybe a summary for adults, in my opinion!I love Scott's ideas, so do not turn down some other of his work without checking it out.

Very prompt in sending my order, exactly as it said, will order again.

I have always liked the Piano in a Flash series, although some pieces are not well suited to block chord accompaniment. The children's book seems to have been written as an afterthought. I have been teaching piano to children for many years and would never use the same curriculum as I do with adults. The matter of fact presentation of theory misses a great opportunity to enlighten children with interesting historic tidbits and insights. To be fair, I compose most of my children's curriculum and use tricks and techniques that are not commonly found in teaching methods. I.M.H.O, June Weybright and John Thompson were outstanding in their approach, while the Alfred Basic Piano Library provides a smooth and solid structure that is theory based. That said, I do recommend the other Piano in a Flash books.

This is not at all what I expected or wanted. It is a book you read; not a piano book. Very disappointed.

excellent for starters piano lesson , clearly explained everything step by step, i love this book as it very helpfull

Je l’ai emprunté de la bibliothèque municipale et la je l’ai acheté. Très bon professeur.
