This cutting-edge keyboard method is now available as a downloadable PDF! The download is a single PDF file of 26 MB. This book is a total step-by-step approach to spontaneously creating your own keyboard parts. Rhythmic and harmonic concepts are applied in all keys, and then used to develop specific solutions in rock, pop, ballad, R&B/funk, new age, country and gospel styles. These techniques enable you to work from a leadsheet or fake book, and improvise melody treatments and accompaniments which are authentic for each style. This book is suitable for serious beginners through to advanced musicians, and contains 500 pages (with nearly 800 music examples). The Pop Piano Book has become the world standard in contemporary keyboard instruction, and is endorsed by Grammy-winning artists, top educators, and Keyboard Magazine.
