Imagine being able to sit at the piano and play beautiful, entertaining music. Imagine being able to play for your friends and family and have them cheer, sing along and treat you like a celebrity. Or maybe you want to take things further, play professionally and be paid for your amazing skill and talent.
The joy that playing the piano brings is unmatched. While you're playing this instrument, time appears to cease. You become so engrossed that nothing else matters.
You can certainly learn to play the piano or keyboard, thanks to the many, perfectly explained lessons in this book. From the very first chapter, the author, former school teacher and pianist, Mantius Cazaubon assumes that you're just starting out on the piano. Everything is broken down to its very basics so that you can totally and perfectly grasp each concept presented.
In this book, you will learn how to play the piano in a way that is fun, fast and easy. Traditionally, piano lessons have been very boring. This is very ironic. How can playing such an exciting instrument be taught in such a boring way? Most learners and even music teachers will tell you that it's because of the absolute focus on the most uninspiring aspects of music theory. In this book, the author takes a different approach. This book, with its modern perspective, makes you want to learn. You learn the fundamentals of reading sheet music only at the end. The writer uses a different strategy to get you playing in a hurry without having to bear the burden of learning notes on a staff from the very start.
