About this method
Designed for intermediate-level pianists, this piano book focuses on hands-on learning through the aesthetics of pop & rock. The aim is to reinforce the essential skills of modern playing: rhythmic consistency, attack precision, coordination between the hands separately and then together, and the execution of accompaniment patterns.
Throughout the pages, you will find a structured progression that helps you develop greater fluency and confidence while working on key elements such as chord progressions, dynamic variations and articulation. The online support effectively complements your practice: it allows you to check the desired sound, better internalise the groove and improve your listening skills, which are crucial for achieving a live, expressive performance.
Whether you want to consolidate your technique, enrich your chord playing or diversify your accompaniments, this method is a reliable resource for making steady progress. It is suitable both for students taking lessons and for self-taught pianists who want to structure their practice and expand their repertoire in a pop & rock spirit.
