This is one of the best beginning blues instruction books I’ve found. It teaches a bit of blues theory and provides the basic framework for the blues, but Tricia also provides the beginner with a few blues tunes to play. You can find books with advanced blues songs (from established performers) and you can find books with blues “riffs”….but you won’t find many bookes for beginners that have good sounding, playable, blues tunes. Ms. Woods delivers on all fronts.

I was very rusty, having played piano for over 30 years but not touching a keyboard in a long time. I had just bought a new modern keyboard and needed something to jog my memory with a little theory and yet was interesting and fresh to keep me going.
The DVD is well done and easy to follow and stop. The book is all I could ask for and I appreciate the bits of blues history just as a side note.
There are extra exercises, if you choose, to modulate to different keys and to strengthen your skills along the way, which is something the other books didn’t have.
I did a lot of research and comparisons before I picked this set. It’s not for a rank beginner. You do need to know how to play some, but if you have played at least a year, get this book and have a good time.

I’m new to the piano but not to music (guitar). I can read music (a little… but not in ‘real time’). This book is excellent. It keeps the techinical music score to a minimum but still gets across the basic of the Blues plus loads of tricks that can be strung together when improvising (as you’d expect). This the way I taught myself rock / blues guitar and it suits me… learn the basics (chords, structures), learn some sacles and add on a few finishing touches. Perfect!

I received my book in great condition, and shipping was prompt. However I am very disappointed that my book came without the audio CD. I have tried to learn without the benefit of being able to hear the music, but it is very difficult and frustrating.
Before purchasing this book, I read the reviews, and was excited to get started. I also ordered two other Beginner Blues Piano books, (David Bennett Cohen Teaches Blues Piano & Blues Piano: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series (Keyboard Instruction) when I ordered this one. Both the other books included the audio CD, and are much easier to learn from because of the cd allowing one to hear the notes as well as read them.
I wish it had been more clear that this book was being sold without the audio cd. The reviews were written about the book being offered with cd, not without, and thus lead to my confusion. I have tried to just order the audio cd alone now, to accompany my book, but it is not available.
