Fun book to learn how to play piano. I'm trying to teach myself to learn how to play at home and I'm trying to work up to playing my favorite Brahms song of all time which is 'How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place'. That is one of the last songs in the book. Right now I'm up to Brahms' famous 'Lullaby' song. So I have a ways to go. But the music is easy to read and fun to play. I really enjoy playing it. I think anyone looking to learn piano at home, give piano lessons, or just play for fun will really like this book. Especially if you enjoy Brahms.
