As a piano teacher, I find that this is the best book currently available for teaching Adult beginners so that they enjoy having lessons and can master a piece they know quickly and feel that they have achieved something.
I use this book for all the adult beginners I teach. I also use it for Junior High School students who are beginning on the piano. They recognise the tunes, and it is a whole lot more satisfying for them to use the 'Adult beginner' book than the children's beginner books (which the cool teens call 'Baby Beginner Books')
This is a beginning course for adults who prefer a chord approach. It teaches chords for both hands so that the student can play more than single note melodies. This course is most effective when used under the direction of a piano teacher or experienced musician.
