I was able to find Legends and Lore when I searched by the correct spelling of the Composer's name, Christine Donkin The chapter subtitles are incorrect

Thank you for this, have saved up the link for future use :) Was also wondering - have you heard of a book called The Piano Handbook by Carl Humphries and do you have any views on it It seems like what one would call a method book Thanks!

Is that Piano TV playing piano at the end? I feel like we don't see that enough on this channel lol I still love the channel, I love the topics But I'd like to see you demonstrate the pieces you talk about like this more often, it was awesome
Comment from : @randomalbum9879

Thank you for these recommendations I admire your energy and enthusiasm brI am brand new at piano and have fallen in love with the instrument (I have been playing drum set for 25 years)
Comment from : @Worldsbestcupofcoffee

Hi it would be so useful if you had bookedmarked each of the book titles
Comment from : @TheFakeyCakeMaker

Thank you for the jazz recommendations I’ve tried so hard but I just don’t enjoy classical music I’m not about to sit as a 35-year-old woman learning row row row your boat so I’ll definitely be looking into that jazz book appreciate it
Comment from : @jannellej7917

Took piano lessons for 2 years I guess I’m intermediate anyone recommend any books ?
Comment from : @guillotinedeath

Everything you say is important, but please be more succinct for time
Comment from : @arneely65

im at thanksgiving dinner so i won’t be able to finish the video til after but i wanted to ask if there’s any books you recommend for someone who is less interested in playing and reading sheet music but more so interested in writing, creating, improvising , jamming etc i personally find it to be better to learn scales and chords and PROGRESSIONS as opposed to “songs” but that’s mainly because i just don’t enjoy covering songs my ADHD makes me always want to toy with the notes and change things and mess around if i do cover a song, im usually rewriting the chords and feel etc, like taking a song that’s in a major progression and turning it into minor or a whole different genre ok the food is ready time to eat, thanks for making this video!

Boring!
Comment from : @bellab4797

Hi Alicia!!!!! I am such a fan of your very informative videos I was wondering if you ever do fan requests If so there are three separate piano method courses that I would LOVE for you to review The first being the Suzuki Method (the method that me and my teacher currently use), the KEITH SNELL SERIES which looks terrific but a little lengthy because there are too many damn books for JUST ONE GRADE LEVEL making it very grueling for a student to make it through that grade (I kind of reviewed it myself just now 😆) And lastly, please review a method that is sadly seldom used anymore: the John Thompson series The red books I just LOVE John Thompson! I'm going to keep working on The Suzuki Method but my teacher and I are both considering adding some John Thompson studies into my regimen Would love to hear your insight and expertise on these piano methods Thanks Alicia!brbrDavid from Virginia

Merci for this I have Faber but also La Méthode Rose since I have to learn in a bilingual environment
Comment from : @lawrencetaylor4101

helpful!
Comment from : @medjugoracmarko007

Hmmm Seems a number of these books are no longer in print May need another update with more modern and in print materials
Comment from : @tommaxwell429

Quick questions are the royal conservatory books a companion to being an RCM student, or we can succeed with just their books?
Comment from : @Ranakade

The most successful initial books imo (for young beginners) have a consistent style and musical language Those that skip about introducing too much too soon result in a confused and dejected pupil For a talented beginner 'Joy of First Year Piano' by Denis Agay is good I haven't used his 'Learning to play the Piano' though suspect worth checking out For most age 8-ish pupils I have found 'Ministeps to Music' really effective Children enjoy mastering the pieces quickly and it moves in understandable 'Mini-steps' The pieces reduce in complexity every time a new element is introduced, and are deceptively organised in their progression I couple with 'Dozen a Day' - both by Edna Mae Burnham I usually follow M-steps 1&2 with Walter Carroll Although the hand position changes piece to piece, that consistent musical language provides something to latch on to Of course Kabalevsky/Bartok/Norton are brilliant Another nice little gd0-1 book is ABRSM Swinstead/Dunhill '1st Year Pieces & Work&Play' (2 in 1) Lets not forget Pam Wedgewood's 'Upgrade' Series too

I’m glad you made this video Appreciate it!!

Toronto?
Comment from : @ninos431

Also, try Carolyn Miller's collections The pieces she writes are both sophisticated and beautiful "Morning Dew" for instance is a really beautiful piece It was in her mid to late elementary collection
Comment from : @amybuchler8874

Do you recommend the Alfred adult piano books?
Comment from : @TealBeauty7

i like how u have a book about how to survive the pandemic XD
Comment from : @everythingamazing2379

"Music in the Galant Style" 2007 How Alma Deutscher learned keyboard This landmark work has revived the methods used by Mozart et al to teach music, so very very different to 20th century pedagogyand so much more fun :)
Comment from : @uhoh007

Oooh I got many in the last year
Comment from : @jacksonamaral329

I'm going to try and learn from a book I've tried piano subscriptions but I just can't stick to it I want to learn how to read sheet music and notes I know the middle c scale haha! later on, I plan on getting in-person lessons since the covid 19 hit it's been hard to find an in-person teacher
Comment from : @danielburford1441

Do you like the David Carr books?
Comment from : @JeremyJKing

Came back to give an update!!! I am in love with the Bartok book!! It's structured so well, and I love how it specifies what each piece focuses on!! The 200 canons book is still shipping, but I'm so excited!! My sight reading is already getting the workout it needed with the Bartok book!! I'm so happy!!
Comment from : @pleaseexcusemydeeplyawkwar4972

Thank you, Allysia, for this update! Looking forward to a similar update for other grades For me, the Faber Piano Adventures for Adults books worked really well And I found their Scale & Chord Book 1 to be a very good addition Aside from learning 5-finger scales, I gained better insights into how the keyboard actually works: theory, scales, chords, arpeggios, and improv it all came together
Comment from : @marcvanmeer8415

Hi! I recently discovered the composer Wynn-Anne Rossi, who has a huge collection of music, specially the series Música latina and One of a kind piano solos book 1 and 2, for elementary players Beginner friendly but sound deep and sofisticated
Comment from : @juin594

Thanks for sharing 🙂
Comment from : @Frank7077

I love videos about music books, they're my favorites on your channel I cannot wait for the updated version of the grade 2 books 😊
Comment from : @NoemieL

At this point my shortages are more in the time department, but having said that I did order the RCM grade 1 package, in August, basically on your enthusiasm for the RCM publicationsthought I might as well see what they are about There has developed a delivery problem, and still waiting to get my hands on them Hopefully I'll see them while I can still get some use out of them Thanks for the video, know that time as a Mom gets to be precious at times
Comment from : @jeffreygreen7860

I love your videos but can you hold the books longer in front of the camera Sometimes you talk so fast and only hold the book up for a quick moment that I don't have time to catch the name of it
Comment from : @stina5293

"Sometimes you gotta get a bHandel/b on these simpler pieces" hehehehe
Comment from : @pleaseexcusemydeeplyawkwar4972

Gaaahh!!! Thank you for showing us these, especially the lesser-known ones! I'm so excited for some of them now that I know they exist
Comment from : @pleaseexcusemydeeplyawkwar4972

The problem I find and you briefly mentioned it is the music, if the beginner doesn’t like a piece of music there will be little or no motivation to learn I done a quick count on the the music in Adult Piano All In One Piano Course 2 and found there were 23 likes and 18 dislikes or couldn’t be bothered However the music theory and chord inversions etc together with 3 minute techniques are very goodbrGood to see you’re enthusiasm and inspiration on the screen again
Comment from : @alanfirth9975

I have some of those like mikrokosmo, Kabalesvky, RCM, Anne Crosby Piano Adventures, Canons and they are all absolutely amazing If you ever stay forever in this early développement piano playing it's still possible to play very beautiful music
Comment from : @APetula

Thanks for a great video
Comment from : @denisekarenhenderson9070

I have been learning with Faber Piano Adventures for Adults, beginning from absolutely nothing My teacher always gives me additional pieces each week, but they have been a good start for the first 18 months Thanks for the recommendations of other study books
Comment from : @thomasbrown7980

you should make a podcast answering music questions and having musical discussions with your friends (especially piano and classical) keep up the great work!!!
Comment from : @Hunter-gm6pt

Thanks!
Comment from : @bobbydazzler4141

Nice pieces at the end of the video, some interesting pieces for beginners I agree about some method book pieces - they're rather uninspiring
