Total Piano Tutor is the ideal guide for those wishing to develop basic keyboard skills from scratch, or perhaps for those who took piano lessons as a child, but are long since lapsed. A self-contained audio-visual course, new ideas are clearly introduced using jargon-free text, and are reinforced by easy-to-follow exercises of increasing complexity. Exercises are shown diagramatically by way of over 1000 computer-generated example of music on the staff, many of which can also be heard on the accompanying compact disc. By the end of the course the reader will have a thorough grasp of fundamental keyboard theory and skills - enough to be able to work through several demanding classical and jazz solo pieces which are also included. With a foot firmly on all musical bases, Total Piano Tutor is the ONLY tutor that the fledgling pianist ever needs to buy.
