Easiest Beginner Piano Method: Gordon Banks Piano Method: 10 fingers / 10 keys & counting - Paperback

by Gordon Banks (Author)

Book 2 continues your journey towards making the musical experience with your piano or keyboard a gratifying one. We continue with the same fixed hand position throughout this second book. This makes it easier to focus on the other aspects of playing that enter into the whole process of making our songs sound accomplished. We even have a section for those of us who experience some difficulty with coordinating the two hands while counting. This book also introduces the eighth note, frequently included in most songs and widely misunderstood as to how it is counted. We take away the mystery and put the player at ease when seeing these within a song. Finally we introduce the foot pedal and how to use it properly and efficiently. Enjoy.
