As a kid aged 9 this was what my teacher recommended me to do as well. (I suck at piano, but that was a pretty good teacher). This book is useful but it is way over the top in pretending to be unique or groundbreaking, it's more a case of the author being somewhat ignorant about what common practice is, something you can't really fault him for since he didn't actually play piano. What struck me as odd was that he believed that the teacher that his daughter had was somehow unique in her approach, whereas it all seemed pretty standard and 'common sense' to me.

The end result is a book that is useful, but that could do with some serious editing by an advanced pianist or at least someone more knowledgeable about various piano teaching practices.
