The Piano in Black and White

The Piano in Black and White Synopsis

The Piano in Black and White is for everyone with an unrequited love for the piano. It will entice beginners to climb a few important rungs up the ladder, coax the fainthearted to play more and welcome back those who previously gave up.    Packed with inspiration and advice, this book demystifies the process of learning the piano. There are easy-to-follow lessons with photographs and fingering guides, online audio and unique features such as finger pilates and the ‘ten-by-five’ practice method. By the end of the book you will be able to play twelve beautiful pieces, making this an unmissable book for all would-be pianists!   “If you think your piano skills are non-existent or too rusty to be revived, this is the perfect book for you. It is clear, packed with useful information and constantly encouraging. Before you know it, you’ll be playing well-known tunes with confidence!” Katie Derham, TV and radio presenter “This inspiring book is ideal for adult beginners and returners alike: a lucid, creative and good-humoured guide that goes beyond the notes into the heart of music making.” Sarah Harding, TV director (‘Maigret’, ‘Vikings’, ‘Gentleman Jack’)
