As a beginner piano player with desires to be a pianist, you need a variety of piano books. It is essential. Practicing scales is not good enough to learn piano. If you spend all your time on scales you will never get to the good stuff and will get very tired of the same old thing. You will give it up and loose interest.

To keep interested in piano try playing songs that you enjoy. It will be more fun and allot more interesting. It is important to keep your attention and it will show in your music.

There are many good piano books available for piano learning, no matter what kind of music you are into. From classical, to jazz, to rock, to pop, and everywhere in between, there are books on piano available for every genre to keep your interest.

Personally, I like to mix it up quite a bit. I buy piano books for all of the great classical pieces, and then learn to play the music, but sometimes I want a change. It is good to be able to play the songs that your friends want to hear. I mean, why be an entertainer if you can not entertain? So, I make sure to buy piano books covering all of the most popular songs so that I can take requests whenever I happen to be entertaining.

Remember to get books of music that you don't like because others will. You can never tell what the crowds will request and you want to be ready. You could start to like playing Mandy.

When you have studied enough books about piano and looked at enough songs you will begin to get that you don't even need sheet music to play. You develop an eye to go with your ear. You will hear something on the radio and be able to plunk it out before you know it. The ah-ah moment will eventually come for your as it did for me.

After a while music will just play in your head. You will hear a song just once and you will see the notes in your mind. If you want to duplicate what you see in your head then you will need the sheet music. You will be able to visualize how it was arranged by then. But you will probably want to create your own sound. When this happens you will not need your books anymore.

So don't give up. Dedicate yourself to learning to play piano. It will be well worth it.
