A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

More than 20 million Americans play the piano, making it the country’s most popular instrument. This information–packed guide covers all the basics of reading music and playing the piano. It features full–color photographs that demonstrate the principles and techniques, progressing from playing basic notes to common chords to intermediate skills. Step–by–step text instructions accompany each photograph. It’s perfect for piano students, people who want to learn to play a few songs, and adults who played as children and want to play it again!

Mary Sue Taylor (Roswell, GA) has filled her share of musical requests, having played piano in the Atlanta area since 1954. Over the years, she’s dusted the keys of nearly every piano in town, from formal society clubs to dim, smoke–filled jazz bars to the hottest house parties. She has taught beginning piano, jazz, improvisation, chord study, and other related topics to a diverse array of students for five decades.

Tere Stouffer (Knoxville, TN) is a freelance writer and editor whose published books include Marathon Training For Dummies (0–7645–2510–7).
