This is my favorite book for teaching piano to older kids, especially those who already know a little about music, can play piano a little, or just learn really quickly (my favorite for younger/slower students is Celebrate Piano). It still starts slower than I'd like - I like to get my students playing a song they like first, and start filling in the details second, but it starts them up and gets them going faster than any other method I've tried, and fits in all the important concepts, too. (Other books/methods I've tried and don't like as much: John Thompson, Alfred's, Peanuts, Usborne, Bastien, Schaum) Something I especially like about all the Faber books is that they never tie notes to a particular finger or hand position, and the right and left hand start playing together from the getgo. This avoids a lot of slowdown and temptation to quit later on. Also, in this Accelerated course, they don't waste any time playing on the black keys, as they do in the regular-speed Primer level books. The Lesson book is meant to be used as part of a set of books, but this book alone is sufficient for students on a tight budget.
I like the pace of the book and it is great for beginners.
Very easy to understand and teaches a lot.
I'm an intermediate pianist and people sometimes ask, "how are you able to understand this music?" I bought this book as a guide to help teach some curious listeners the basics of piano theory. I chose the accelerated lesson book instead of the adult all-in-one because it is more organized and slower paced. It is slow enough to help someone retain all the information accumulated but fast paced enough to keep a student engaged. This book is also very classical focused. I also like that it is designed for older beginners or adults instead of young beginners. I think this would be an exceptional book for an older beginner pianist with a tutor/teacher. I don't know how well it would do as a self-learning piano book.
I love this one in comparison to Alfred. So nice font, lovely selection of music, nice progression. Easy to use and learn.
This book is great for beginners and very affordable for such a good quality book. Definitely recommend.
