Summary of This Collection
This piano collection, dedicated to Latin music, is aimed at pianists who want to expand their repertoire and especially develop essential reflexes: pulse stability, accent precision, and mastery of characteristic rhythms (offbeats, syncopations, repetitive cells). The goal is to make you sound "Latin" on the piano by working on a more percussive left-hand playing, effective accompaniment patterns, and a right hand capable of naturally singing the melody with articulation.
Part of the "The Complete Piano Player" collection, this volume emphasizes smooth reading and a pedagogical organization: you progress by consolidating simple gestures (voicings, block chords, steady basses) before moving on to richer and livelier sequences. Barrie Carson Turner's arrangements favor comfortable keyboard writing so that the work focuses as much on style as on technique: hand independence, dynamic control, clean attacks, and phrasing continuity.
Practically, this collection is an excellent resource to complement classical or modern learning: it provides very formative textures and rhythms, useful for both accompaniment and solo playing. The English language is not a barrier: the presentation remains straightforward and largely based on the music itself, making it accessible to most pianists.
