Summary

This compact edition of BASIC PIANO FOR PLEASURE will have you playing in no time with its accessible and comprehensive tools! The authors present vital keyboard skills in a smooth, carefully calibrated progression that makes you feel comfortable learning to play the piano. By the end of the first chapter, you will play a Hilley arrangement of "Amazing Grace," and a piece written especially for this title by Lynn Freeman Olson. Subsequent chapters build your confidence by offering a consistent synthesis of keyboard skills, music theory, and creativity. Olson's original and appealing musical selections consistently complement Hilley's legendary teaching skills. As a result, you will learn difficult piano skills as you experience the excitement of playing old favorites.
