Good, basic piano lessons:
I learned from these books, along with the Thompson series. I have been teaching piano now for nearly 30 yrs. and have tried many other series, always coming back to the Schaum books. I find them to teach everything needed, having complete sets of workbooks as well as the lesson books and technic books. They move at the correct rate with songs my pupils enjoy overall. Other series I have tried or pupils have come with have been more frustrating- trying to move too fast for the students to learn well. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" works here. These worked years ago and they still do. Sometimes "new" isn't necessarily better.
The Best:
I recently got a piano, and since I haven't played in 30 years, decided to start over with these books I used as a kid. They are just as good as I remember!
I can follow it and am teaching myself to play the piano:
You can follow right along with the books and it is easy to understand. Don't expect to learn over night. It has to sink in little by little. Just keep practicing as much as you can while enjoying it. You can do one or two lessons a day and repeat as much as the old lessons as you want to do. You will be amazed how you improve. What was hard becomes easy.

Great starter for beginners!:
We got an electronic key board last Christmas and got this book to teach at home...it's Fantastic! Easy to use. Have fun!
