Adult Piano Adventures Popular Book 1: Timeless Hits and Favorites

Perfect to use together with Adult all in one Book 1. More songs to practice at same level.

This book matches beginner skills with the piano adventures program

I've been playing piano now for a little over 7 months. I've been working with a piano teacher that has been going through different books (Such as RCM 1, Alfred Jazz Book 2b, etc.) and classical music. I've also completed the Faber Adult Adventures 1 book. I feel this book is a fantastic transition from Faber Adult Adventures Book 1 to Book 2. It has a lot of fun pieces that are challenging for a beginner and get right up to the lowest levels of intermediate. Its been a lot of fun learning these and I feel its been very helpful as I continue to proceed through Adult Adventures 2.The main thing I'd say that is that this book really gets you to learn basic chords and basic chord inversions. It'll also consistently get you to move to slightly different 5 finger basic positions within songs. It won't push you to big jumps in hand positions but it will definitely require you to move a little. Due to this I believe other than the very beginning pieces in this book the average new pianist shouldn't start with this until they finish with at least the first Adult Adventures book.

I have ordered 3 books from this company and I have loved them all. I just started taking piano lesson in September of 2022 and I am moving along nicely. Make sure you check out their App as well. It will help you with the tempo of the songs.

This book is very good, scored to use both right and left hand. The songs are pushing me to play better and improving the playing of my lesson material (book by same authors). I only started playing in November and have found several songs to work on. Some are still beyond my ability but there are so many to choose from.

It has a very nice selection of popular pieces, some of which have become my all-time favourites, e.g., Downton Abbey theme, Jurassic Park, The Winner Takes It All. The arrangement of the piano pieces are especially beautiful - I guess the Fabers are really very talented.With regards to difficulty level, the pieces are manageable for anyone who has completed the Faber “Adult piano adventure all-in-one piano course 1”. They are not too simplified and just challenging enough to motivate the learner. I just LOVE this book! I have no problem spending lots of time just playing a single piece over and over again, even after I learnt it.
