This is the only series of piano books out there that has really stood the test of time. I first came in contact with them when I was grade school and taking piano lessons myself. 30 years later, they are the only books I teach from. I enjoy the pace they use and the progression of skills that they offer. So often books skip around or don't build well on previous skills. That is not the case with Bastien.
This is a great book that helps the young musician learn to play the piano/keyboard. It is very self-explanatory, or can be used with adult help.I was very pleased with the purchase.
This book is excellent for my 7 year old to begin piano lessons. The pages are brightly colored and fun. It is very easy to follow and my child loves using it!
Recommended by our piano teacher. These arrived promptly and are doing the job well. I'm sure we'll be ordering the next in this series soon.
Excellent book for starting out learning the piano. Our daughter's piano teacher recommended this book. It was a great help to her.
I Bought this book for my son because it was recommended by his teacher. So far, the book seems to be serving its purpose.
Bastion is a horrible method and the tunes are dreadful.
My son enjoys this book. It's a good skill builder.
