If you’re an absolute beginner, this book will be too much work for you. But if you’re an intermediate player or have been learning to play the piano (or even any other musical instrument) for a couple of years or more, you’ll really glad that you found this book.
If you are a self taught piano player and have been at it for a few years, and are looking for ways to improve your playing, then this is the book you want. lot of useful stuff on how to harmonize, what chords to use, what chord progressions to use and more. Definitely recommended for the self-taught player (this is not just for piano players but also for players of other musical instruments).
How to Play the Piano Despite Years of Lessons has lots of techniques on how to construct chord, use progressions, and how to harmonize music.
If you were always looking for a book that would teach you more than the basics, how to construct chords in various ways, how to use the various inversions, how to harmonize a song in a better manner (I’m assuming you’re able to do it but in a very basic manner), how to use various chord progressions, then this book is definitely going to help you.
And although the title says its for the piano, most of the theory discussed can be applied to other musical instruments as well.
