*Self learners and intimidated beginners, This book is for you! I can’t bear to take away a star for the damaged spine, that is how wonderful this book is.
– I’m your average child piano lessons quitter, now regretfully nostalgic and determined adult learner💪🏽. I didn’t absorb enough theory back then, to actually know the piano. I knew just enough to memorize and play average pop sheet music. Easier standard classicals etc. Unless I use a chord dictionary, I know zero chords except Cmajor, zero scales except Cmajor, nothing about key signatures, let’s not even talk about rest counts, note beats, etc. Basically any little foundation I had, has been long forgotten, BUT, it’s never too late to learn as long as you’re healthy enough and breathing, and this is a phenomenal book to start with. PROS:
1. It’s big with a remarkably visually appealing layout to making studying and memorization easier and more welcoming. The voice/tone of the book is warm and not overly formal or stiff like others I’ve tried.
2. Placed on the inside of the cover page, where it can be easily referenced, is a large sized, very detailed explanation of the Circle of 5ths. I have been trying to understand it’s concepts for years with no success, but I took one quick glance over this one, and boom! I finally understood it. This is HUGE for me. 💃🏽
3. Explanation paragraphs are greatly detailed precise and super easy to understand, as you can see in the pictures
4. The diagrams are big and fantastic. With arrows pointing things out to ensure clarity.
5. Things aren’t squished together, which, I’ve found, often make studying musical concepts or reading music itself seem much much harder, and burdensome, than it really is.
CONS: the only con may be one of the things that makes this book great – the “oversizeness” of it all. It is a “music book” size book. For adult studiers, this is not your pocket sized travel study companion. This one will tag along in your large(er) tote or a knapsack or good sized man bag.
+ I finally found a book I’ll actually enjoy studying, that will keep my struggles and confusions to a minimum. I believe you’ll feel the same. Worth every single penny. I will be using this book until it’s ragged. Buy it and enjoy your piano learning journey.

As an experienced player, I need a collection of all scales, chords and arpeggio, and it suits me exactly with annotations on the finger position. The book is also thin enough to put on the music stand.
Ardene Edwards –
book of scales is a great book.
Amazon Customer –
I was impressed at the basic music theory included. This is a good book for teens or adults who want to learn the basics of reading music, basic piano theory, and piano fundamentals. Few teachers of any instrument seem to teach scales and basic theory these days. This book will help beginners and those who have music knowledge but want to learn more or refresh their memories.

I’m a beginner in music theory…Very helpful
Cliente de Amazon –
Für Anfänger sehr empfehlenswerter Überblick und gutes Nachschlagewerk beim Lernen der Tonleitern, Akkorde und Akkordbrechungen auf dem Klavier, die Erläuterungstexte sind “in English”.
Mauro –
Must for all beginners. Individual practice

Este libro contiene todos las escalas, acordes y arpegios que cualquier músico, incluso amateur, debe conocer. No solo los estudiantes de piano, sino es válido para las personas que disfruten aprendiendo cualquier instrumento para su propio disfrute. Los fundamentos del piano son esenciales y comunes para todos los aprendices y aficionados a la música.

Judy –
Easy to read. Easy to follow directions. I’m a beginner and this book made learning the piano easy.
M. Christman –
I use this at every practice session. Great delivery

Perfeito! Excelente qualidade do papel! O livro é completo e perfeito para o estudo teórico e prático do piano! (Não recomendaria para iniciantes completos). Mas se você já completou o Alfred Basic Level 1 ou está perto do fim, é ideal como livro suplementar para aumentar o seu conhecimento teórico.

I took piano lessons as a young child. I’m starting to play again as an adult and this book is a must-read on the basics of cords to help understand music. I wish I would have had all this music knowledge years ago when I first learned to play. I highly recommend this book! Well written and easy to understand.
