Review: All-new No-Hassle Piano Lessons from Mel Bay
This unusual 48-page book with DVD is one of the most effective ways of learning piano to come along in a long time. Nearly everything a beginning piano student needs can be found on this DVD and paperback.
Seeing (and hearing) is believing, when it comes to this high-quality method by Beth Adams. Tempo, scales, finger positioning, definitions of terms, and many more topics are covered in detail. The booklet's chord building chart and explanation of staff notation are particularly useful. Adams also does a great job of explaining accidentals, relative minors, chord progressions, root position, and inversions.
For the beginning piano student, especially those with jazz aspirations, this is an ideal approach to learning piano all withing the privacy and pace of your home.
Anyone Can Play Piano is a uniquesly visual, hands-on experience. A nicely-done approach to musical instruction. Recommended.
