Synopsis

The piano is world’s greatest instrument! Can you tell I’m a piano player? OK, I might be slightly biased. However, it is true that the piano is the most versatile acoustic instrument. And aside from perhaps the synthesizer or pipe organ, the piano has a larger range of pitch than any other instrument. Certainly it produces all aspects of music like no other: melody, harmony, and rhythm. My estimate is that approximately 70% of knowledge about music applies to any instrument. The other 30% applies to whatever instrument you’re playing. This Book covers most of the 30% that is needed to play the piano and much of that applies to any keyboard. The rest of the 70% of knowledge about music is covered in the other Books. The data in this book applies to any piano or keyboard player at any level of expertise regardless of what style of music he/she plays. This is invaluable as a reference book for private lessons or as a textbook for classroom study. This Book answers many interesting questions such as: * What is piano technique? What is the “optimum playing position”? * What are the 8 ways to attack (how to push the keys down)? * What are the correct fingerings for scales, arpeggios & chord inversions? * When playing a song, is there really no such thing as a “wrong” fingering? * What are guidelines and methods of developing “good” fingering? * What are triads, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th chords? * What are the 3 main ways to play the piano? * What are all the possible piano chord voicings? * How to develop hand independence? * How to play in a rhythm section? * How to play solo piano? * How to play walking bass? Why should a piano player know that? * What is the art of an accompanist? And many more!
