Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a piano teacher I really dislike the way this book is laid out. The progression just makes no sense, and the beginner young kids I teach (all 6 years old) just can't grasp the concepts they throw at you on the first pages. The very first page has them playing C, D, and E, on the staff. I think it's bizarre. I much prefer the Alfred or Bastien books where you learn fingerings, rhythm, and black keys, white keys, THEN the staff. I really wish I hadn't wasted the money on this book. I'll probably use the songs later on in the book when my students learn to play on the staff, but it's just awful for beginners.
