We recently received piano books to use and review from a family friend and my favorite preacher, Pastor Steven Anderson. As soon as I opened the package, Abby was thrilled. She has had about 2 years of lessons, and often tries to play from the hymn book. She was
able to play the first two songs in the book very easily. Robert also wanted to play from the book. They love how simple the songs are. First Abby played Nothing but the Blood over
and over and over. Then Robert played it
over and over and over. After a few days
of that I now had that song stuck in my head, but it is better than the other
stuff they have to practice for their piano teacher. I was able to play the first few songs, too. I am very excited about this because I had very little training, and have taught myself most of what I know. I’d much rather play hymns than the silly stuff in other practice books. Now I just need to find spare time to practice. In the past few weeks they have learned the next several songs on their own with no help from me. It is so nice to hear them playing hymns!!
Since Abby and Robert are the oldest, I am sure these books will get a lot of use in our family. The other kids also show interest in the piano. They are still a little young to have official lessons yet.
Here is the site and a video if you wish to learn more about these books and order them.

I have all 3 books. I practically breezed through the first 2. I am having difficulty using the 3rd book. I personally think there should be a stepping stone book between books 2 and 3. Book 2 did not prepare me very well for book 3.
