| 2. Leonard Maltin's 2010 Movie Guide (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide (Signet)) | 
|
By: Leonard Maltin
Publisher: Signet
August 04, 2009
Hard to resist a chance to review the reviewer.
With the help of earlier incarnations of this guide, I have watched and enjoyed thousands of movies, and suffered through just a few. My predilection for old movies probably has something to do with that. -- I've even had a good time watching scores of foreign films, though my ability to savor the nuanced acting skill of a sword-waving samurai shouting... more

| 5. Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course : Lesson Book, Level Two |
|
By: Manus Morton, Amanda Vick Lethco, Willard A. Palmer
Publisher: Alfred Publishing Company
December 01, 1984
I am a piano teacher. I recommend this book to adults who had learned how to play the piano but haven't played for a while.
My students catch up quickly and easily with this book and they like it. This book covers theory, piano techniques and musical terms enough
and reminds you those skills and musical language as pages go by.
This book may not be easy to follow for those whom... more

| 6. Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A Book for the Earliest Beginner (John Thompsons Modern Course for The Piano) |
|
By: John Thompson
Publisher: Willis Music
July 01, 2005
I bought this book a few months ago based on the Amazon reviews, so I felt compelled to review it myself. This book, while full of wonderful pictures, isn't the best book for a child younger than six or seven. It doesn't teach how to read music, and instead creates its own alternative method for reading music, which has not held my younger students' attention. Unfurtunately, it doesn't provide enough... more

Wasn't the best Boynton board book I've read. I find that with Boynton, you need to read the book in the bookstore to see if it's a good one. There actually quite a few that are not that great... more

Features:- 116 Pages
- Published by G. Schirmer, Inc.
- Softcover
I was an average pianist until I worked my way through this book. By this point, I can probably kick your butt. In fact, I wish I had learned piano almost exclusively by technical exercise books like this.
As it was, I learned piano through the Alfred's three-book course. The problem there is that many of the songs, besides being recognizable, are fun to play.
I officially... more
