I have studied piano performance for many years and once considered becoming a concert pianist. Having examined the Revolutionary Piano Method, I appreciate the logic of this new approach and recognize how it could result in rapidly advancing sight-reading and performance ability for a beginner student.

I love the Warm-Up! illustrations. They help my students orient using the black-key groups to develop the skill of playing by touch instead of constantly looking at the keyboard.

I purchased this book for use with my 5 1/2 year-old son who has always loved music and is fascinated by people playing the piano. The step-by-step, easy to follow instructions allow anyone--musically inclined or not--to coach a child through learning to read music and play with the right hand without feeling too rigid or overwhelming. There are plenty of short practice pieces as different notes are introduced that give the child a chance to demonstrate proficiency by playing four times, putting a "check mark" in each box, and then award himself/herself a sticker for completing the page--my son loves that part! If you took piano lessons in the past, you will probably find this method quite different from the way you learned and will appreciate both its simplicity and effectiveness.

No wonder I never learned to play using other books. They never taught me to really read the notes like these books do - and the cartoons are cute, too!

Book 1 teaches piano students how to master note names on the staff and on the keyboard BEFORE introducing rhythm, time signature and other concepts. Many method books introduce too many things at once or teach students to rely on fingering or hand positions. The Revolutionary Piano Method does not. Students will become confident in note names quickly and give them a solid foundation to build upon.
