"""It is really all the basics in a nutshell. Understandable and easy to follow with enough detail to make good and sensible progress. Wish It was available 50 years ago when I gave up piano lessons because it was super boring and no progress. If I had this I am pretty sure I would have been a super satisfied pianist... and probably a professional. Nevertheless, making good and fast progress now."" -Happy Customer, Fanie N. ""There is a dearth of decent adult books on the market. This looks to get an adult to playing music faster than other methods."" -Happy Customer, Franklin H. ""The Golden Ears first Piano lessons for Adult Beginners is really easy to read and understand. Imagine at the age of 62, I can finally understand the notes on simple sheet music. The book is well thought out and flows in an easy logical way that even a pure novice like myself can follow along. I enjoy each lesson and continue to work through the lessons every day. Congratulations! you are truly going to change peoples lives."" -Happy Customer, Jose C."
