Review from book's editor
I edited this book for Dennis Alexander. I own tens of other books on Reiki, the Mayan religions, & Wicca and I've never seen one that combines the three as well as Dennis Alexander's philosophy does (or in fact, ANY other book which does this). It was a joy & honor to work on this book (which is a revised & updated version of his older book "Mayanism"). I highly recommend it to anyone who ...

Premier Piano Course Success Kit, Level 1A (Premier Piano Course)

5 reviews
Dennis Alexander, Gayle Kowalchyk, ...

Alfred Publishing Company, 2005

Very well though out lesson books
I am a full time piano teacher and have been using these books for several months now. All my students have enjoyed the books and I have found them to be very thorough. Students of mine progressing with these books tend to have a fuller understanding of music and less association of notes with finger numbers (i.e. less calling G "5"). Over all it really makes my job easier!
