Product Overview
If you can point a finger, you can learn piano! Check out this classic method that's fast, fun and designed for the 'do-it-yourselfer.' Familiar songs can be played almost immediately because the student reads only the melody line and chord symbols. Also provides the incentive for continuing serious music study.
