Adult Piano Adventures: All-in-One Piano Course - Book 2 | Early Intermediate Piano Method with Online Audio | Songbook with Sheet Music and Theory for Adults | Faber Piano Book for Chord Playing

This is an excellent book. The instructions are clear. Each piece comes with a QR code to a video demonstration and lesson. The lessons are well paced. I think I finally found the perfect piano method book.

This book, just like Level 1, finds that perfect balance between being thorough on the one hand, and concise on the other. It covers everything, in enough detail to make perfect sense but not so bogged down that one wants to skip pages to get to the "interesting" stuff. The best part though is that it delays playing chords. Most method books for adults cater to the notion that adults want to play chords. *Any* beginner will struggle playing chords - it is unnatural - and develop either bad habits and or unfortunate tension in the hands and wrists. There are other ways to create a full sound, without playing chords, and this book delivers them. Highly recommended!

Great book for beginners/early learners. Comprehensive and full of helpful videos. Great follow up to the 1st book, or if you know you C and G scales already, a good place to pick up.

totally outstanding lesson book with clear complete tutorial on musical terminology and videos to play along with. very easy to follow and understand

Ugh, I'm a newbie obviously... this is the second book I'm using to learn how to play just to have a variety... I find this book frustrating at times, I read every part line by line and follow the directions and exercises as instructed to. However, you get wrenches thrown at you that are not explained and your left to figure it out on your own. One example is on page 35 under the bass clef and it says "2 on __" no where are there instructions for what this is supposed to relate to or what your filling the blank with. I finally scanned back and forth through out the book to figure out that your goal is to put the finger number in the blank space. How the editor missed that I have no idea, but as a beginner that was extremely frustrating trying to understand why that was there. Next was page 50-51, again Im learning here and would prefer to not have to read into things and just follow directions. I thought the Camptown Races song was all thirds since thats what we are learning on the page prior to the song. I kept playing the song over and over and couldn't understand why it didnt sound right, again playing thirds because that's what we are being taught to play. Finally figured out oh there are some seconds in the song also... amazing the song sounded right after that. Overall I like the book I am progressing at a decent pace and learning a lot, but have even more to still learn. I think the book could have been more specific in places and less specific in others. I would still recommend this product especially if you enjoy being self taught and like books that make you think on your feet not just follow along...

Excellent lesson book for learning piano. My daughter just finished the first edition and we’re working on this new one.

I started taking piano lessons at 62 years old because of the COVID shut down. I ordered Book 1 and loved it so I am now starting Book 2. They also have an App that will help you with the timing and also makes your piano playing sound better (nice added benefit).

I did have a piano teacher who taught me bevause i am NOT self taught person (lol) but these books are what she taught out of. They're easy to follow along, easy to read and the songs are gradual "easy" to "harder." I'd definitely recommend these books to any beginners looking to start!
