A First Book of Mozart: For The Beginning Pianist with Downloadable MP3s (Dover Classical Piano Music For Beginners)

I'm a beginning pianist. These songs in the book are simplified so that a beginner can enjoy the world of Mozart. There are different composers in this series. I got Beethoven also. If you want to learn to play these by ear, there is a link to an online website you can go to that will let yo hear the MP3 version of what these songs are supposed to sound like when played properly. I have played a few of the songs and did OK. I have never had a formal lesson, and am self-taught. But in my opinion, everyone who learns piano should have sheet music from various genres in their sheet music library. Classical music like this was pretty much why pianos were invented. They go hand in hand, so I'm pretty pleased with this sheet music. Some of the songs are abridged though, but if you are just starting out, this should not bother you too much. It will be an opportunity to learn the basic structure of the classical music pieces anyway, and you can always add more complicated pieces later as you improve.

I'm a music teacher and I'm thrilled to use this book with my students. It's important to me to introduce children to classical music, and what better way to start than with Mozart! I've played and recorded every piece from this book, and they all sound wonderful!

Excellent beginner introduction. Easy

Definintely for beginners, not for adults who are beyond beginner and need more of a challenge. But, still a great buy and has many of the well known pieces for true beginners.

These books are exactly what we have been looking for. Our studio, Fox Music Instruction (find us on Facebook), has a focus on inspiring our students to explore the depth of expression found in classical music. Because of this, we have found it somewhat difficult to source arrangements of classical masterpieces that are appropriate for the level of our students. These books address that need wonderfully. There are around a dozen "First books" focusing on a single composer's works and two other books that more general and help students explore many different composers' works in the same book. The only downside to the series is that there are no offerings specifically suited to primer or early level 1 students. These books are more levels 2-4 approximately. However, that does not detract from the value of what is offered in my view. We have decided to implement these books as a regular part of the repertoire curriculum for our students (who are of the right level) henceforth. In summation, while these books may not suit the needs of every student or studio, they do a wonderful job suiting the vision of our studio and the needs of many of our students!

My little grandson loves classical music, so I've purchased a number of these Beginning Pianist books for him. They offer a little information about the composer and about each piece of music, along with the first page or two of sheet music for each piece. The sheet music is very simplified, so it's not overwhelming for a child. Highly recommend.

Good form. Good price. Easy to use.

An excellent extension of the basics.

Great music even for a beginner like myself. I would highly recommend it. I've been learning for a week and being able to play some of these classics is absolutely mind blowing to me!

Excellent collection of the most melodious pieces of Mozart. Highly recommend.

Bel libro per iniziale, ma brani troppo brevi e poco lavoro della mano sinistra.
