A Dozen a Day Book 1 - Perfect for Beginners (A Dozen a Day Series)

I had this same book in the 60's when I took piano lessons. Great practice for your fingers. Bought for my granddaughters for piano lessons.

Helped my son with facility and technique

SO EXCITED to teach my daughter to play the piano using the same books that I used as a child in the 70's. Highly recommend these books. EASY! Teaches notes, finger placement and counting in the most comprehensive way.

My kid is learning piano at an advanced level and his teacher recommended this book.Has great teaching notes.

I'm returning to the piano after a 20-year hiatus (grew up with a piano in the house, studied for a dozen years, even had a few students in high school), and suffice it to say, I'm rusty! I never knew about the Dozen a Day series when I was younger, but I wanted to pick up a few books to brush up on sight reading and build muscle in my fingers again. I type a lot, but found that sitting down to play, my typing fingers couldn't hack it on the piano keys. I researched the best books for warm-ups, and this series popped up on a few sites. I love it! The warm-ups are a nice mix of tempos and rhythms, and I appreciate the staccato and legato exercises to strengthen my muscles... and to play with the emotional element of how I play the notes. The songs are quick, and sound nice enough that the neighbors can enjoy when they overhear. It's definitely helping build muscle strength and sight reading back up, as well as muscle memory and tone recognition. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone like me who is returning to the piano and wants something relatively quick and easy to practice... that works!

Very good piano lesson book for beginners

E' arrivato nei tempi previsti (anzi, con un giorno di anticipo) ed è conforme a quanto richiesto.Contiene esercizi da fare giornalmente, ciascuno corredato da un piccolo disegno esplicativo, utile per far focalizzare i bambini (o gli adulti) sul compito da eseguire. Buono per chi studia da pochi mesi fino ad un anno circa per concentrarsi e migliorare singoli aspetti della tecnica pianistica (es. esecuzione dello staccato e del legato).

Good book for learning piano, easy to follow exercises for the beginner. My son is enjoying doing the exercises and progressing with his piano skills
