The Joy of First Year Piano Joy OfSeries Denes Agay 9780825680137 Books Reviews

• Somehow, the new, blue-covered edition acquired a bizarre error that the yellow-covered edition didn't have. Balkan Bagatelle, which is in the key of E minor, has the F# printed in the first space of treble clef rather than on the top line. Other than having a chimpanzee in charge of the new edition, I have no explanation for how or why this could have happened. All of the old timing errors from the old, yellow-covered edition have been genetically passed along to the new, blue-covered edition. There are six beats in the bass clef's last measure of White Sails - a tune that's in 5-4 time. There's a 4-4 time signature in The Birch Tree which is notated with two quarter note beats in a measure. Overall this is a great method book but I wish the publisher would fix the glaring errors that have been lurking on the pages of this method book for the past four decades.
• I am a piano teacher, and used to use this book for years for my older and adult beginners. I ran out on this product (I used to get them a couple at a time to pass out to students, as it was hard to get), and ran into the problem of not being able to locate any more. I decided to have a look the other day, and was so happy to order more. Denes Agay makes an accompanying Technique book, but it's not available on or in the States, I think...I wish would carry that...
• Great option for a child beginning to play piano.
• My daughter really wanted to learn how to play the piano so I bought this for her. She is basically learning on her own from this book. So far it's teaching her the basics.
• My 8 y.o. daughter is a beginner pianist and this was recommended by her teacher. She loves the book and the progressively challenging pieces.
• Excellent progression, students enjoy playing from this book.
• Good buy
• I purchased this book, but is hard to read because is too blurry, and it’s the same in 3 different devices.
