Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio) by Damon Ferrante

Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio) by Damon Ferrante is I have been playing piano for many years now, but was interested in using this book as a reference to some easy classics and additional teaching techniques for some of my current piano students. The videos included in the eBook make it super easy to read the information and then see the demonstration. I was glad to see Damon's focus on identifying and practicing patterns in music to assist in learning more quickly. For those who learn best by reading, he includes many tidbits about the history of the pieces and the meanings of some of the terms used in musical notation. For those who prefer learning by doing (kinetically) the videos are a great way to learn the techniques. And for those who learn through listening, many of the pieces have recorded files of the end result. Overall I think it is a great resource to work through with an instructor or by yourself for a very self-motivated person who wants to learn. It is a great value, as this book, if used for lessons could fill a student's curriculum for years. Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio)

Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio) by Damon Ferrante is I'll be honest, I am not entirely a beginner. I took five years of piano grudgingly as a child, though I rarely practiced when my parents didn't have time to look in on me. After having stopped though, I often miss the instrument, which is why I picked up this book. I skimmed over the first few chapters on reading notes to focus mainly on learning how to play new pieces. On this, Ferrante's book does surprisingly well. The provided MP3 files serve as a guideline as to how each piece is supposed to sound, a sort of substitute for what traditionally is a piano teacher playing out the song for you. The little notes written into the sheet music were also helpful and went into a great deal of technical music terms that I had all but forgotten. I probably got less out of this as a slightly more experienced piano player, but it was quite helpful in reviewing techniques and the basic ground knowledge of piano that's often forgotten through the years. This book would be unsuitable for a more intermediate piano player, but as a former piano slacker who suddenly regrets not sticking with the instrument, this book was a lovely reintroduction.

Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio) by Damon Ferrante is Don't let today's dreams become tomorrow's regret. If you think about doing something more than three times then it means you should probably do it. If learning to read music and play the piano is something you have always wanted to do then stop waiting and start playing. This book has exactly what you need to get started. Step by step this book and video instructions teaches you the basics of playing music. Unlike other self-teach books, this book caters to all kinds of learners. Becuase of the read through instructions and the video examples, all students can learn.As sad as it is to say, the music programs in our schools are underfunded and ignored. As we all know, keeping students engaged in the classroom isn't always easy and for some students, a music program is the only reason they come to school every day. This book is a low cost and highly effective way to spark the love of music in students. Directions a simple, clear and the videos keep students engaged and amazed.

Beginner Classical Piano Music: Teach Yourself How to Play Famous Piano Pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven & the Great Composers (Book, Streaming Videos & MP3 Audio) by Damon Ferrante is Very happy with Ferrante's method of teaching! If you're just getting into piano, this book is a great step towards true proficiency. Ferrante begins with proper technique and music theory (note names, time signatures, and reading sheet music), essential to one's progress in music, and by the end has students confidently reading and playing some of the best known classics. While it is not an end-all method to learning piano (as implied by the title) it will smoothly transition you from beginner into intermediate piano studies. Just be sure to practice!
