My First Piano Adventure - For the Young Beginner Lesson Book A | Pre-Reading Piano Method for Ages 5-6 | Fun Music Lessons with Online Audio | Faber Piano Adventures

Good one for kids to start piano

Great series for primary age young beginners, this book is far and away the best series published by Plano Adventures.

I bought this on the off chance after searching various music stores for a piano book suitable for teaching a 5 year old. This book is perfect as it takes into account the reading skills of children this age and presents the themes in a colourful and imaginative way as required for Key Stage 1 music. It's a big plus too that you can go online and see how some of the lessons are taught and these have been especially helpful particularly if you are not used to teaching this age group. In addition to the tutor, I bought the writing book that is used alongside the piano book. I also purchased some coloured stickers, coloured crayons and some percussion instruments as these are needed throughout. Each lesson is taught with a song in a fun way, with clefs and musical notation introduced later on. So far I'm about half-way through book 1 and even though some of the examples are not relevant to children in this country, you can easily substitute other ideas. My pupil is loving it so far and has learned all the songs by heart because her Mother plays the cd in the car on the way to and from school!! I hope the momentum and enjoyment continues through the rest of the series.

My eldest daughter has been using this book in her piano lessons for about 15 months now and is getting on really well with it. It teaches her to play the piano slowly and she really enjoys the pieces she plays from this book. You can also download an app which has the music backtracks to play along to, and this makes practise at home much more fun. I’d definitely recommend these books.

Everything was great about this order but it doesn't have it's audio CD, even though it's mentioned on the book that "audio included".

great book , recommended by the piano teacher , my son made a good progress on his piano practice.

I use these for teaching 5 year olds. Excellent

I have been teaching piano to under 5 years for a while. This book was recommended buy a fellow piano teacher and it has been amazing for my piano practice. This book is suitable to children over 3 years old to 5/6 years old. It starts gently by exploring the sounds at the piano (short, long, soft, loud), then introduces playing on the black keys with fingers 2 and 3, then with fingers 2-3-4 and then introducing the white keys, etc... The pieces are simple and have very nice piano accompaniments. The CD is also fabulous. And the kids absolutely love learning with it. If you are a piano teacher and have an under 5yo student, DO buy this book (alongside with the writing book). It will work wonders. 😊
