Excellent, Communicates, well printed, worth it
Piano lessons were always based on the idea that you would become a concert pianist and any music knowledge as opposed to instrument/keyboard knowledge would be acquired at a later date or as a byproduct. Such a pedagogical methodology was always going to be iffy but years of piano lessons would deliver nothing else. You would get some technique but even that was relatively poor given the research into actual playing. Allied to the poor training that piano teachers got and the variety of different schools of thought on the matter, and you ended up with disappointment. Eventually the lie got out. Just asking people what they wanted to do with their piano or keyboard lessons testified to the mismatch. Many wanted to sing songs and play the piano at the same time, some wanted to play while ... Piano lessons were always based on the idea that you would become a concert pianist and any music knowledge as opposed to instrument/keyboard knowledge would be acquired at a later date or as a byproduct. Such a pedagogical methodology was always going to be iffy but years of piano lessons would deliver nothing else. You would get some technique but even that was relatively poor given the research into actual playing. Allied to the poor training that piano teachers got and the variety of different schools of thought on the matter, and you ended up with disappointment. Eventually the lie got out. Just asking people what they wanted to do with their piano or keyboard lessons testified to the mismatch. Many wanted to sing songs and play the piano at the same time, some wanted to play while others sang, still others wanted to improvise but none of these things were on the agenda of the piano teachers and in any case the knowledge you would need would be different. The big problem was how to break the cycle of inappropriate teaching that ignored what the intentions of the student were From 1976 (this book dates from that time) various books were produced over the years to remedy this knowledge deficit and this is one of them; in fact it is probably the best and earliest example. At 239 pages it is a hefty volume but it is extremely well written. It is not loads of exercises written out like a lot of music teaching books, but explanations written in English in a vernacular style that really communicates with good examples. It's well printed as well and the A4 format is used to good advantage. Another one in the same vein but is also excellent is the How to really play the piano (the stuff your teacher never taught you) by Bill Hilton written in 2009 which would be a more technical volume than this so it makes for a good Vol2. Stick with it, take your time in reading it and Enjoy! (shop around for a good price) Steve

Deserves to be taken seriously.
Any music instruction book that’s been in print for 40 years deserves to be taken seriously. But It’s far too early for me to give an honest assessment, my-be in 6 months.
