This is a comprehensive guide designed to build foundational keyboard skills for musicians pursuing careers in the commercial music industry. It provides a well-rounded approach focusing on music reading, keyboard technique, music theory, harmonization, aural skills, and creativity for people whose secondary instrument is the piano.
The book features six units that integrate practical and creative objectives, including fluency in reading music scores, chord charts, and lead sheets, as well as the ability to play and arrange with confidence. Whether you're composing, arranging, or performing, musicians will work more efficiently with DAWs (digital audio workstation software) while also enhancing their understanding of chords, progressions, and harmonization. Special features include prompts to encourage reflective practice, real-world applications, and exercises in diverse styles such as classical, pop, funk, and R&B. Students and working professionals will be able to perform with fluency using the Nashville Number System, compose with a professional sound, and customize their practice routines for long-term growth. This is a versatile resource for both individual learners, private lessons, and group piano instruction.Author Biography
