Adult Piano Adventures: Classics - Book 1 | Classical Piano Sheet Music for Adults | Symphony Themes and Opera Gems Songbook | Faber Piano Method Book with Duets and Chord Practice

Great piano book

The book is as stated and suits well for beginner piano students. The pieces are arranged for easy piano hand movements. The pieces are diverse and varied with different composers apart from the usual staple of Mozart,Beethoven,Bach . The book is really good and if I would have to raise an eyebrow, it would be for the optional 'Teacher Student duet' part that takes up half of the page, leaving just a couple of lines of actual music to play. This sort of makes the piece less tuneful as there are just a couple of notes to play. However apart from these diversions, the book is perfect for beginners or adult beginners new to the piano

My son likes it

This is a great collection of classical pieces. Having students listen to them and then play the major theme arranged for early piano is a great idea. However, to make them sound reasonable, they really need the teacher's accompaniment. Currently, there are no pre-recorded teacher parts for this. There are YouTube videos with the duets, however. In short, this is great if you have, or are, a teacher. If you're self-teaching or want to work through the book for enjoyment, then I'd look at something else.

The pieces are arranged from simplest to more difficult, but all are within the grasp of beginning pianists. I found the easiest ones good for practicing sight reading. I am self-taught and have been playing a bit over a year.

Good value for money

This book is a great for augmenting the Faber line of piano books. I think I enjoy it as much as my students. I use it with my younger students who are towards the end of the Faber pink book, starting the blue book or beyond, and for adult students who have taken lessons for a few months.

This is a great book. Very good information, and written for an adult. Makes learning the piano straight forward.
