Summary of This Book

Designed for those who want to finally start (or resume) and learn to play famous songs with a rewarding musical result, this collection focuses on a very visual and progressive approach. The keyboard diagrams show you precisely the positions to adopt to perform the left-hand accompaniments (chords and progressions), while the right hand benefits from recommended fingerings to secure reading and gain fluency.

The major asset lies in the accompaniment CD : by first practicing at your own pace, then playing along with the tracks, you naturally develop steadiness, listening skills, and a "band" feeling. It is an excellent tool for learning to maintain a stable pulse, perfect your entries, and build a more convincing interpretation, even with a moderate technical level.

The content offers a wide selection of 46 songs from pop, rock, standards, and musical theatre. You will find notably "Imagine", "Let It Be", "Every Breath You Take", "Copacabana (At The Copa)", "Mamma Mia", "The Entertainer", and "Wonderful Tonight". An ideal choice to vary styles, work on different accompaniments, and enrich your easy piano repertoire with instantly recognizable titles.
