Synopsis
R&B Keyboard: The Complete Guide by keyboardist and educator Mark Harrison is an instructional piano book designed for players who want to learn authentic R&B keyboard styles. Suitable for beginners developing core skills as well as intermediate players expanding their stylistic range, it covers essential concepts needed to play soul, funk, disco, and pop with confidence and musicality.
This comprehensive guide introduces key elements such as chord voicings, rhythm patterns, grooves, and practical music theory, all presented through clear explanations and playable musical examples. The included online audio features demonstrations of many exercises along with seven complete songs performed either solo or with a full band, helping you hear how each concept works in real musical contexts.
The book is presented in standard notation and includes detailed musical examples that demonstrate each concept in a practical, playable way. The integrated PLAYBACK+ audio tools allow you to slow down tracks without changing pitch, loop sections for focused practice, adjust keys, and isolate parts, making practice sessions more efficient and personalized.
By combining theory with real-world application, this guide helps players move beyond basic playing into expressive, stylistically accurate performance. Whether you are learning to comp in a band, write your own music, or simply enjoy playing at home, the material supports steady progress while keeping the musical experience engaging. The inclusion of full songs also helps reinforce learning through context, making it easier to internalize grooves and phrasing.
