well paced and organized with video links for instruction.
This is an excellent book. The instructions are clear. Each piece comes with a QR code to a video demonstration and lesson. The lessons are well paced. I think I finally found the perfect piano method book.

Excellent. Really the best for adult piano students.
This book, just like Level 1, finds that perfect balance between being thorough on the one hand, and concise on the other. It covers everything, in enough detail to make perfect sense but not so bogged down that one wants to skip pages to get to the "interesting" stuff. The best part though is that it delays playing chords. Most method books for adults cater to the notion that adults want to play chords. *Any* beginner will struggle playing chords - it is unnatural - and develop either bad habits and or unfortunate tension in the hands and wrists. There are other ways to create a full sound, without playing chords, and this book delivers them. Highly recommended!

Comprehensive piano learning
Great book for beginners/early learners. Comprehensive and full of helpful videos. Great follow up to the 1st book, or if you know you C and G scales already, a good place to pick up.

Helps you learn how to play, but could have been edited better. Vague in some areas.
Ugh, I'm a newbie obviously... this is the second book I'm using to learn how to play just to have a variety... I find this book frustrating at times, I read every part line by line and follow the directions and exercises as instructed to. However, you get wrenches thrown at you that are not explained and your left to figure it out on your own. One example is on page 35 under the bass clef and it says "2 on __" no where are there instructions for what this is supposed to relate to or what your filling the blank with. I finally scanned back and forth through out the book to figure out that your goal is to put the finger number in the blank space. How the editor missed that I have no idea, but as a beginner that was extremely frustrating trying to understand why that was there. Next was page 50-51, again Im learning here and would prefer to not have to read into things and just follow directions. I thought the Camptown Races song was all thirds since thats what we are learning on the page prior to the song. I kept playing the song over and over and couldn't understand why it didnt sound right, again playing thirds because that's what we are being taught to play. Finally figured out oh there are some seconds in the song also... amazing the song sounded right after that. Overall I like the book I am progressing at a decent pace and learning a lot, but have even more to still learn. I think the book could have been more specific in places and less specific in others. I would still recommend this product especially if you enjoy being self taught and like books that make you think on your feet not just follow along...

Professional and well designed for the beginner/intermediate player
I started taking piano lessons at 62 years old because of the COVID shut down. I ordered Book 1 and loved it so I am now starting Book 2. They also have an App that will help you with the timing and also makes your piano playing sound better (nice added benefit).

Excellent Piano Methods Books for Adults
As a piano teacher for over 20 years, I have found the Faber Piano Adventure Series to be the best methods I've ever used. The adult books share the same excellence. I like that it includes theory pages and technic as well as the usual lessons. The songs are a nice selection from classical themes to traditional to originals. All are arranged very musically. This book covers the equivalent content of the Older Beginner Book 2 through Level 3B, so it moves along at a good clip. Of course there are also 189 pages. (Faber Adult Piano I covered Key of C & G, and reading notes up to high G right above the staff & down to low G at the bottom line of the bass staff, and overlaps with to some of Older Beginner Level 2. That gives one an idea of the level it begins at.)

Leichter Wiedereinstieg ins Klavierspielen
Einfacher (Wieder-)Einstieg ins Klavierspiel, ich kann es empfehlen. Und dann jeden Tag 2x 20 Minuten konsequent üben!

Videos not as good as the first book
I've only just started this, but what I've immediately realised is that the online video resources that were so useful with in the first book are not provided for this one. They provide a bunch of audio files, but these are just backing tracks, and so it can be difficult to understand how a piece should sound, which is important for beginners. They do provide a video playlist on YouTube of Randall playing some of the pieces, but unless I missed something, he doesn't play all of them. Yellow Bird, for example. So you'll have to go to third parties to find videos of people playing these pieces. The pieces he does play, aren't played fully, it seems. I wanted to hear the entirety of Niagara Falls to understand how the Coda works, but, again, unless I missed something, he only played a part of it. The videos for the first book also had two camera angles of the pianist, whereas this one only has one.
