Bastien Piano Basics: Piano For The Young Beginner Primer A Paperback – 6 Aug. 1987

Bastien Piano Basics: Piano for the Young Beginner is a fantastic book for children just starting their musical journey. The lessons are well-structured, engaging, and age-appropriate, with colorful illustrations that keep kids interested and motivated.It introduces musical concepts gradually, making it easy for beginners to follow, even with little to no prior experience. My child enjoys practicing with this book, and I’ve already seen great progress in both reading music and hand coordination.As a parent, I appreciate the clear layout, fun exercises, and steady progression. It’s also a great support tool for teachers. Highly recommended for any young aspiring pianist — it makes learning both effective and fun!

Great book for beginners,This is the book my 3 year old daughters teacher uses to teach the class and she told us to buy it.

It is a good book to learn piano, like all Bastien books. Arrived really fast and in exceptional conditions.

Kids live the book!

My daughter is still using it.

Suitable for very young kids probably from age of 4-6.Unfortunately first songs are not very exciting to play, but afterwards comes Mary had a little lamb, Yankee Doodle Came To Town, Old MacDonald (using both hands) and other. Kids learn first CDEFGAB painted inside note shapes, afterwards come actual notes on sheet music.Later in the middle of the book, there are songs which kids can play with teachers accompaniment and hopefully that will motivate them to play boring tunes for finger exercise and note memorization.Overall good book, but not very exciting. Good for kids who really want to learn.

Using this to teach my 4.5 year old son. I’m a piano teacher and use the pink primer books for my 6 and up students. Really love this pictures and explanations in this series. 👍🏻

I did these books when I was a kid 20 years ago! It brings back such memories, and my kids are picking it up quickly. I love the way it lays out the lessons
