Adult All-In-One Course: Lesson-Theory-Technic: Level 1

Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus, ...

Alfred Publishing Company, 1994

Accompaniment CD is not flawed, in fact it can be very useful if used correctly. Read carefully
Some reviews here say the CD is flawed because the recordings are not solo piano demonstrations and can be confusing for the learner. I do not agree with those reviews. Here is why; On each piece, the background accompaniment instruments are heard on the left channel ...

So Glad I Found This Series
My efforts to reteach myself to play the piano had kind of stalled but ALFRED'S BASIC ADULT PIANO COURSE has put me back in gear. I kind of dithered between starting with level 2 or level 3 and though the first few pieces in level 2 were very easy for me I soon found ...

Betty Crocker's Cooky Book

Betty Crocker Editors, Eric Mulvany

Betty Crocker, 2002

This Cooky Book is a Joy - Very Helpful Too!
This is a great cookbook. I really like the fact that it is spiral bound--it makes it easy to perouse through the pages, and then the book lays flat when you settle on a recipe. All the information and directions needed to make the cookies in this book are clear and ...

This cookbook will endure for the ages
