What are some good books for learning how to play piano?

Here.

My piano teacher (100 years ago) gave me Anna Magdalina’s Notebook
It was songs that Bach wrote to teach his wife piano.

@Axemusica, does this really work, or are you trying to make a point…? :/

I’m currently reading Illistrator CS4 for dummies. Have no shame. ;)

If you are just starting out learning to play piano, Piano for Dummies is actually good book to start with. I have this book and it has some detailed and relevant information on how to play. You may also want to purchase music dictionaries and books on music theory.

Before you start playing, you may want to just read about the history of the piano, how to play properly, refresh your memory on the notes and time signatures. In my opinion, you don’t really need to go inot the complicated details of music theory. You just need to know the very basics, like what I listed.

Hal Leonard has some great lesson books for beginners, even if you are an adult.

@AshlynM ya I started with Hal Leonard books and they’re great. I’d also recommend once you start to grab some Royal Conservatory of Music books.
