Piano for dummies is the book I received shortly after I started playing the piano.
This book gives you a basic frame to work with.
It starts from the very basics, buying a piano and music theory, until an intermediate level.
It's well written , with an occasional joke now and then to brighten things up.
That's why I recommend it to everyone who feels he needs a guiding frame while learning by themselves.
At the store it was rather pricey(I think about 30€), but I think this is worth it.
Especially when you realize how pricey taking lessons at a piano teacher can be.
If you're interested, a tip is to look into a part of the book at books.google.com.
This choice of piano for dummies is strictly personal.
If you feel there's a book out there which is better, please let me know via the comments form.
However, it is introductory so when you've finished this book you'll have to switch to method books like e.g. Alfred's Basic and All in One Adult Piano Courses.
A less structured alternative is to just pick songs of your own liking to practice with.
In the end it's all about practicing, and that can give you a hard time.
That's why I personally prefer to pick songs of my own which I like more, to keep the morale high.
You can do so via sheet music, practicing software like Synthesia or video tutorials.

I've read good and bad reviews about it. In the end I choose NOT to get it because many reviewers underlined that there's NO mention at all to fingerings.
There are some, though few.
I didn't see this as a big problem because fingering is really subjective; it really depends a lot on what kind of a person you are.
Especially hand size etc; some feel better with certain fingering than others.
So I believe it is best to search your own fingering patern from the start, to make things go 'natural'.
But that's strictly personal of course. Got any suggestions of other books which could be better?

Piano for Dummies by Blake Neely
http://www.mediafire.com/?6rdbxr1bm70
The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It is widely known as one of the most popular instruments in the world. Widely used in Classical music for solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music, and accompaniment, the piano is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal.
Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.
I know a book that is good for explaining piano techniques

I'm about to start my piano lessons next week, and I'm looking for good books for piano lessons. I just eager to learn and excited about it. I've also checked out some pianos for sale. Houston has a handful of stores that offer quality pianos.
I'll check this book out. Hopefully, it will help me a lot in learning how to play, even with a used piano. Houston also has some talented pianists I take as role models.
