 Not exactly for the beginner December 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm an adult learning how to play the piano for the first time. This book seemed like a good fit, but I was surprised to see how challenging the pieces really are. If this is meant for a kid, he or she has been playing for much, much longer than I have... learning to read more advanced music than a true beginner is able to play.
A bit difficult for me October 19, 2008

These arrangements are good, but a bit advanced. I am just not quite ready for this book. It is not self-explanatory. You need to be adept at reading both clefs, time signatures and the fingering is a bit tricky. I will have to slowly work up to it and these pieces definitely require a lot of slow, repetitive practice. Not as easy as Alfred's Basic Piano Course Book 1.
 One of the best piano books ever ! May 24, 2008
When I bought "My First Book of Classical Music..." I was and still am amazed by how great this piano book has turned out to be. It has 29 themes by the true masters of Classical music. The songs are beginner level but the author Bergerac has to be commended for his great work to these classical piano songs !!! in bringing out the very best in each song. You will be playing each page from start to finish and loving each classical piece of music. I can't recommend this book enough - 5 stars *****
My first book of classical music February 28, 2008
It is excellent for melody but many of the songs are in the wrong key. Taht is the only reason for 4 stars. I will by it again.
 Not thrilled. November 10, 2007
