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.
Staying interested is a chore but playing music that you prefer makes a difference in the long run. Your piano playing will reflect your enjoyment of what you are learning to play.
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.
I like a variety of books. I get piano books of the masters of course, but then I like to play popular music too. Your friends and family want to hear something they recognize. It makes it fun to play at parties. Being an entertainer means pleasing the crowd now doesn't it? Be sure to cover the music spectrum and get a well rounded assortment. You can take requests too!
Be sure to get an assortment of music books that you don't necessarily care for. Who can guess what your audience will ask for and you have to be ready for anything. You might find yourself really enjoying Old McDonald Had a Farm.
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.
You will begin hearing music in your head. The sheet music will just appear in your head and you will not need the sheet music to play your interpretation of that music. If you want to reproduce the exact music then you will need the sheet music. Once you have progressed to seeing the music in your head you can trash the piano books.
Your time and effort will be rewarded by beautiful piano playing. Do not give it up. It is a life long devotion that has gotten me to play what I love.
