James said Good book. No CD. Good book. No CD, but Youtube is better than the CD anyway. Kindly people who play well have put all these pieces on Youtube, labelled, in order, corresponding to the book, played on a real piano, with no other instruments in the background. See for example those by Chanel Harris. You can buy the CD on Amazon, but reviews are not great. Apparently the CD is not a real piano and has synthesized other instruments accompanying and its confusing. Get the book. Use it with Youtube..

This was by far the best. The book is spiral bound, so it lays flat on the piano music sheet holder which is really important. The book introduces a bit of music theory and knowledge on every other page or so - which helps a lot in understanding the other parts of the music besides learning notes. There is a wide range of music to learn (classical, popular, blues, etc) at just the right level at the right time, getting progressively more difficult as you work through the book.

Because she has C.P. we had been putting it off thinking that trying to coordinate both hands at once and read music would be too frustrating for her. Her trumpet teacher disagreed and recommended she start with the Suzuki method as she has and incredibly good ear and quite a bit of natural musical talent.
