We've started production on further chapters in our Pop Piano Book Video Series, for release in Spring / Summer 2025... and Mark Harrison recently released a solo album of hard-grooving jazz-rock tunes (Willing To Be Lucky), playing all of the instrumental parts... this is proving useful in Mark's online private lessons, particularly with jazz piano and arranging students.
We're grateful for all the testimonials we've received, about our educational products... but one in particular stood out to us recently... so with the writer's kind permission, we're showing it here:

"It's 2025 and Mark Harrison's books are still the best on the market. They are great for beginners and advanced players alike, and are especially useful if you want to understand the building blocks or the essence of different styles of contemporary music (i.e. the kind of info that is necessary to play in a band or as a session musician). A lot of this stuff just isn't taught by most piano teachers, especially if they are classically trained. If you are already intermediate or advanced, you will be amazed at how quickly his books will fill in the blanks and provide you with a missing link that will enable you to progress rapidly. His entire approach to music was eye-opening for me. The exercises in the books are great and are designed to really make you internalize the concepts and techniques. I've been playing for over 30 years, and I still find new things in the books to work on or improve. The only regret I have is not having these books earlier in my training. I was classically trained, so most of what I learned about more modern styles like classic rock, jazz, funk, blues etc. was self taught by painstakingly analyzing songs and learning by ear. If I was instead able to put all that time and effort into learning from Mark's books, I can't even imagine what level I would be at now."  Jim S. - Philadelphia PA, USA
