Review: Effective adult piano course - would recommend, as a late learner - This book is a wonderful introduction to the piano & supports early understanding of a grounding in music theory & practical techniques. An adult course because quite a steep learning curve, which can be tackled at a pace that’s comfortable. I’m approx a quarter of the way through in a week with daily practice, repeats & advancement, but know my progress will slow as I continue, because I will need to remind myself & repeat earlier stages to embed what I’m learning. A really good book I would recommend, & suitable for use without a piano teacher - it’s as though he’s coaching you from afar. Have not yet accessed digital add-ons - not sure how accessible or essential these are. Review: Such a helpful book! - I bought this book two months ago and I have to say that it is magnificent! I have always wanted to learn the piano but I’ve only got round to it now that I am retired. Unlike many of the reviewers I have never played piano or any other musical instrument in the past. Before buying this book, I did a lot of research about teach-yourself piano books and in the end I bought two. I have started both of the books, but the other one moves too quickly and I found it quite discouraging. However this one seems to be aimed at just the right level for someone who has never played before. The explanations are very clear and the printing is good for people with less than perfect eyesight! I think that beginning with the left and right hand C position is really wise and builds confidence well. I have really enjoyed working through it and I am almost half-way through. I heartily recommend it to any complete beginner like me! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 296,074 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,339 in Piano & Keyboards 1,764 in Music Instruction & Study 1,851 in Music Education & Teaching | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,185) | | Dimensions | 23.5 x 1.27 x 30.48 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0739052055 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0739052051 | | Item weight | 454 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | 5 Jan. 2008 | | Publisher | Alfred Publishing | ## Images ![Alfred's Self-Teaching Adult Piano Course: The new, easy and fun way to teach yourself to play (Book & Online Material): The New, Easy and Fun Way to Teach Yourself to Play, Book & Online Audio - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HWy74OfdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective adult piano course - would recommend, as a late learner *by L***S on 1 October 2024* This book is a wonderful introduction to the piano & supports early understanding of a grounding in music theory & practical techniques.

After paying for two online courses, I was losing interest in practising because they didn't explain some things well and there is no teacher to ask. Trying to go through lessons on a tablet was also frustrating, so I got a voucher for my birthday and this book got really good reviews so I gave it a try. I'm half way through and so far I love it. It's well written as if a teacher is talking to you and it gives just the right amount of help, whilst also leaving some things for you to remember, but it's easy to go back a couple of pages if you don't, or you've forgotten in the 24 hours since you last practised! The diagrams at the top of the page are very helpful. I had already learnt to play the flute and read music, which meant I could skip a bit at the beginning. Bass clef was my nemesis in the first two courses, but it's beginning to sink in with this book. Looking through the latter part of the book it seems quite daunting, but I'm looking forward to it. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I'm only half way through. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alfred's Self-Teaching Adult Piano Course: The new, easy and fun way to teach yourself to play, Book & Online Audio - BEATBIT Piano Notes Guide for Beginner, Removable Piano Keyboard Note Labels for Learning, 88-Key Full Size, Made of Silicone, No Need Stickers, Reusable and Comes with Box (Classic Black） - Piano Keyboard Stickers for 88/61/54/49/37 Key, Bold Large Letter Piano Stickers for Learning, Removable Piano Keyboard Letters, Notes Label for Beginners and Kids, Multicolor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49339762-alfreds-self-teaching-adult-piano-course-the-new-easy-fun](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/49339762-alfreds-self-teaching-adult-piano-course-the-new-easy-fun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
