Title: Too much info too fast
Product review: I ordered this book because it got so many good reviews, but I was disappointed. There are about ten- twenty different pieces of information on each page. It's overwhelming. I was going to use it to teach a new student but it would have been so confusing. There are several new concepts taught on a page without any means for the child to practise them and actually "do" them. It's as if the child is expected to memorize them without any experience with the information.I went to my local music store and looked through all the beginning piano books and decided upon "Alfred's Basic Piano Library- Lesson Book, Level 1A." It's great- it introduces one new concept per page and has the child practise it in easy steps, little by little inching forward. The illustrations are also a lot nicer. Also, the print is way bigger. It looks spacious. The Usborne book has all this information crammed into a page in tiny little bubbles of print, sort of like a comic strip.
