If you're an adult who always wished you had learned to play the piano, but didn't, this is the first place you should start. Many books jump right into note reading and learning songs without teaching proper technique. It's essential to learn how and why pianists do things the way they do, how to practice, and what reasonable expectations for your learning might be. In short, most books try to teach you to play the piano without teaching you how to play the piano. This book fills that gap. If you are learning from a piano teacher you will want to get the books they recommend and follow their guidance, but who will give you guidance if you are trying to learn on your own? Follow the instructions in this book, and you will find yourself more prepared to learn the songs that you always wanted to play!
