Summary of This Book
Designed as a true piano training program, this book guides you through the fundamentals that lead to lasting progress: scales, arpeggios, and chord progressions, approached in all keys. The approach is both structured and playful, turning technique practice into an enjoyable session rather than a chore. Thanks to the audio tracks, you don't play "in isolation": a rhythm section supports you, helps you keep time, and immediately adds musical meaning to the exercises, just like during a rehearsal or group playing.
Each exercise comes with fingerings, allowing you to advance confidently in the most effective way to position your hand, connect passages, and automate movements. Beyond pure technique, the book introduces you to a range of voicings and rhythms particularly useful for enriching your accompaniment playing, developing a more assured touch, and varying harmonic colors. An excellent resource for pianists who want to strengthen their ease in all keys, gain consistency, and integrate reflexes applicable in many styles, especially pop and jazz.
