My First Piano Adventure: Writing Book A

My daughter has been doing well on these books. She is five and is starting to be able to follow a beat. These books make it fun too with their "characters" and the phone app that goes along with the books. Using them with my younger son also to play around on since he wants to be like his bigger sister.

Really cute books. My kids are really enjoying learning piano with this series and enjoy the music that comes along with it (we use the free audio online but the main book also comes with a CD). Very active and a lot more fun than another book we used. She is a very early beginner so it will be interesting to see how this book progresses compared to the one my son used. He made a lot of progress in the book he used but this one is definitely more fun.

I really enjoy teaching with the Faber books in addition to other methods I use. No matter what the level, this series focuses on getting my students to read their music more quickly. There's a strong base in music theory and I find my students play from the grand staff a bit more quickly. The pieces tend to have a bit more challenge to them, depending on level, and I've seen very good results using these books. From lesson books to theory and technique and great solo pieces, I recommend these as a piano teacher.

I’ve used these books off and on for several years. Sometimes I feel it goes to slowly, sometimes too fast. You have to fit the book to the student. I have other books I use with other young students as well.

I think it is over priced. It will be better if seller can lower the price. Overall is good. I thought it for my nephew. It is good piano practice book for kids. The patio lectures used it as well. I would recommend to kids who start learning piano.

I bought this for my 5 yr old, and while it does cover basic skills for piano, it requires a lot of adult assistance.

I really like it. My 7 year old is doing great with a friend of mine teaching her using these books, along with the lesson book and CD. You definitely need the CD or you would be lost. I have no Piano skills and the instructions are clear enough I can help her when she becomes stuck on a section!

This is the second time we have a child going through the Faber piano books. They do a great job of combining theory with practice and not moving so quickly as to overwhelm.

Easy to understand, my kids only 5 and he can follow the instructions all by himself without help.

This has been a great book for my littles piano lessons! It has a really great variety of fun activities to enhance learning.

Hard to follow, too many illustrations

Bought the set of 3 FABER books for a 3 going on 4 year old that I've been caring for since he was 20 months and he loved them immediately! He's highly intelligent, taught himself to read at age 2 and LOVES music! But he's also a typical 3 year old in that he get's hyper, has a short attention span and needs a lot of handholding to properly learn piano. I know piano, read the amazing reviews on this trio of books (lesson, writing and xmas) and decided this sounded like a great introduction to piano. He was truly inspired to commit to learning piano after opening the books. I highly recommend buying both the lesson and writing books (obviously the xmas book is optional), especially because the lesson book comes with a CD, which of course he loved because it ties in with the book and acclimated him to the whole concept of piano lessons. And the writing book is something he can grow into. I will say that he participated in Music Together for over a year and has that whole collection of books and CD's--so he's quite familiar with following music and singing and playing along. But he would open these books on his own, pop in the CD, follow along and grab his Casio keyboard which I bought him a while back (another great purchase). I also spent some time with him going through the exercises and explaining things which is obviously an essential part of the process. All in all, I was so happy (and relieved) that he took to the books because you never know about these things!

This book is fun and easy to use. The only thing I wish they had was a QR code to direct each song to an online video. The CD that comes with the book is not helpful when they are obsolete anyways.

Not the best for beginning students. I love the lesson book but not a fan of the writing book.

I had already bought the Lesson Book and this is a great addition to it. It has some things in there I wasn't covering from the lesson book. My 4 year old son can learn from these books and he really likes it.

As it was described!

We got this book as a recommendation from my daughter's piano teacher, great and probably the best material out there for young beginners; get them interested on the instrument while having tons of fun. At this price and considering all the content, you can't go wrong with this if you have a young person interested on learning piano, which can be a traumatic experience. But please keep the learning experience easy and relaxed, Chopin is dead OK?

This has been very helpful in continuing to practice at home between lessons for our 5 year old!

Good for beginners. Paper quality is good. Price is a little bit high.

These books are so great! My sons have started them at age 5, when we start Kindergarten. The activities are so age appropriate, teach good piano methods, and are fun! The CD is so well done! Great Job, Fabers. I have not found a piano method I like better than Piano Adventures. ~Certified Music Teacher, Piano Teacher of many years

This has been a good method for my children to learn how to play the piano.

Loving this book. My son enjoys it and it has fun songs.

Great book for beginners. My daughter is 4 years old and has been practicing with this series. She has made tremendous improvement in several months, and I am very impressed with this book and their methodology.

Very creative book to teach children piano, my child is four and she gets excited for her piano lessons because this book is very fun and interactive

Was ok

Excellent! My 5yo is loving her piano lessons.

Great product!

fun book

Very easy simple

This is a companion workbook for this great series of 3 books that engage the 4-6 year olds in playing the piano. Wonderful series!

Ok

this is the book her piano teacher praises. it is simple, large notes. silly pictures to make it fun. very basic early beginning piano.

Exactly as described

Excellent. Good.

My daughter loves it. Step by Step guide is educational and fun

I like everything

Purchased for our 5 year old son and it's a great book. Neither myself nor my husband plays the piano, so this was great because it was a how to learn to play the piano for both mom and child.

I was expecting something more professional but it seems like it is for preschool like 4-6 yrs old.

These books arrived in record time and in beautiful shape. I use this company most frequently because of their good service and quality of merchandise. This series is great for the beginning piano student.

This series is fantastic for very young piano students. My daughter really enjoys this series and it ties in great with the lesson book. Overall super happy with this course.

Top of the line piano book and an easy way to learn. Add My First Piano Adventure Lesson Book A with CD for a complete set.

I love this series for my youngest students! It's fun, engaging and moves at a very nice pace. I recently had an 85 year old student sign up for lessons and am using both the writing and lesson books with her.

Good for lesson

My son is just learning piano and this was the book his teacher said we would need. It seems to have fun exercises and teaches in a way that kids relate to. Very colorful and fun activities.

Nice book. My daughter likes it so much!

Great book. We love this, it’s right on with beginning learners.

My 6 year old just started piano lessons, and this is what her teacher is using. Far better than the stodgy and stale books of my youth. She is very happy with them, so I am too!

Very helpful for kids .. my daughter loves it

My 5 year old daughter is really enjoying this book long with 'Reading Book A' Colorful and fun. Doesn't rush.. perfect for a young beginner

Using with my 6-yr old granddaughter. Works well.

I bought this to go along with the lesson book A for my 6 yr old daughter. She loves the workbook and I think it's a great combination with the lesson book. Perfect for a beginner!

Great book!

So many cute and fun pictures which make learning even more fun!

I like using these books for my young beginners. They are colorful and easily personalised for a specific student. Students love to color and write in their books.

Easy for my kids to use!

Perfect for young (preschool-aged) beginners! My students and children love to play and even practice!

My daughter's piano teacher recommended this book. It is perfect since she is not at reading age yet. She likes the CD that comes with it.

My First Piano Adventure is fun for 5 & 6 year olds, but focuses specifically on technique. You might want to supplement with more 'real' songs to play.

I have one piano student who just turned four, and this is by far the best method I have found to teach preschoolers. I used a different method with her before (that was designed specially for preschoolers) but she still seemed to struggle with basic concepts. Now that we are using this method, she was really flourished and grown in her skills! It moves at a perfect pace for the average preschooler; there is always something new and fun to do, but they don't move too quickly into note names and reading on the staff. I will definitely be using this for any other preschool students I may teach!

Easy to follow and teach your kiddo!

I use this book with my youngest students. It makes learning piano fun!

My daughter likes it so far. She just turned 6. Keeps her interested. Probably could use it for my 4 year old also. It's basic enough.

Decided not to learn to play. But looks like a good book.

Great teaching books!

I really like this book. It's good for 5-6 year olds.

Required by my grandson's piano teacher

It is required by my son's piano teacher. It is good, so far my son and instructor are both happy.

Good for piano lessons.

This is a great series! It has a lot of instructional video on their web page which is very helpful for parents.

My young kids are learning at an accelerated pace. They love the format. It makes it easy to teach them at home.

fast and good

love it

Faber and Faber books have been a favorite of mine for years; however, this is the first time I've taught using "My First Piano". It is absolutely wonderful! Five-year-old students need activity, activity, activity. This series provides fantastic instruction and the necessary "action" younger children require.

Nice book

This is what my daughters piano teacher requested and it is a super cute book and why of her to learn!

good

great for beginners!

Great book and came in fast time

My Grandson used this book when he was 3. I ordered this book for a Granddaughter. Faber makes great first books.

Good book for Beginner. My son can understand this book so well and learning very good from this book... Thank you!

Great book

My daughters love the songs and are encouraged to play and learn. I've even started using this book with my 4 year old.

Great series of beginner books. My daughter is learning how to play and read music faster than I expected since she has never been exposed to it. I would definitely recommend.

I use thisnseries for all of my young piano students. They love the music on the cd. The lessons are interesting and are easy to teach.

I purchased this for a very young student. (4). The book has lots of pictures and makes learning piano fun! It is a great supplement to the lesson book.

great

Fun, easy book to get child beginners started.

Very juvenile and boring. No 4-6 yr ols is going to be excited by this without a lot of extra prompting and encouragement. Not enough color and graphics. Not modern images inside.

Very good book for beginners. Not just for kids. I learned from this book too.

Great book for my beginner son, he's a beginner learner.

My 4-yr old is currently using this for his lesson and he can follow it just fine!

bought it for my granddaughter ... she quit piano soon after

I'm no music teacher, but was told this would be good for my beginner piano child, age 6. The book makes the child learn to read music by numbers then colors, then another transition to actual notes. I truly think my child was confused after learning one thing, then being told to learn another way and then a third way. Seems like there has to be an easier way. That said, he enjoyed the pictures and the exercises in some parts of the book. Perhaps this would be a good supplement to something else. Again I'm not a music instructor, but a parent of 3 children.

I just ordered this product and am eager to use it with my kids. Can anyone direct me to how to access the music app? I'm unable to find it. Thanks!

I am not positive that you would absolutely need this book to complement the corresponding lesson book. However, every single one of my students absolutely LOVES this book. It makes it easier on the teacher too, because it spells out the curriculum and you won't accidentally forget to cover something.

Had to buy this for my daughter's piano lesson curriculum. Easy to follow and fits my daughters keyboard rest perfectly.

The piano teacher who is working with our twin four year old sons use the lessons from this series. The lessons are fun and easy for children to understand. The pictures are vivid and they use the same characters throughout the book so the children have something familiar to see in each new lesson.

Great

Very good series. My 5 year old boy is finding this fun. It introduces concepts at an easy pace. The cd with it means lakes it enjoyable and easier for the parent to practice at home after lessons. We use it with a piano teacher.

We bought a different first piano book for our 5 year old which was far too advanced and traditional. This is BRILLIANT. Recommended by a piano teacher and our son is loving his practice.

Great product

Very informative and useful piano learning book for kids.

this seems to be well thought out and excellent for teaching young children the piano( with a little help from adult )

Ideal for pre readers.

Too complicated to follow as a parent.

Very useful for young beginners

I love using the piano adventures series in my studio. This book is perfect for 5 and 6 year olds and provides great activities to do during lessons!

God these for my son who is in lessons the teacher recommended these books. He has enjoyed learning through these books

Just as described. Bought this for my daughter's piano lessons. She really enjoys the activities in the book.

The piano teacher's choice! Seems fine!

My five year old daughter loves her piano lessons with this program. It is fun and informative and seems to draw students into the experience. My sister (her teacher) found it simple to work with.

This book was recommended by my 6yo son’s piano teacher. Perfect level for him!

it s for my daughter to start her piano lesson. not so complicated to follow.

My daughter LOVES her piano book and looks forward to her mini classes in giving her during quarantine It’s so colourful!!

Great starter for kids of 5-6 years

These were purchased for 2 girls, ages 5 and 7. They are teaching them the very basics easily. Better suited to the younger child, but the elder is still learning from them.

My daughter decided with 5 years that she wanted to begin piano lessons. She loves the activities and cute illustrations in this book and it makes learning music and piano very fun. Love it!

great for beginners 4 to 5 yro

This is good for learning to kid.

Colorful and engaging, good price.
