Synopsis:

Have you been taking piano lessons? Can you play without sheet music or from chord symbols? Can you accompany songs by ear? If you feel that you would like to have more practical piano skills, this textbook is for you. It is the ultimate collection of ideas for keyboard accompaniment and improvisation, patterns and practical applications, as well as chord progressions. It begins with easy improvisation tasks with great background tracks played by real musicians. There are exercises for rhythmic development, hand independence, understanding rules of harmonization, creating variations, and also a lot of practical tips and songs to apply your new skills. In the end you can find a unique step-by-step guide on how to play melody, chord tones, and bass together. The book can be used either for self-study or for group or individual tuition. It is designed for pianists who want to learn improvised accompaniment and can be used just as well in conservatory courses training prospective piano teachers as in music schools. The material will give an impetus to both amateurs with basic piano skills and theory as well as professionals with a classical background. "An amazingly good book!" - Mark Levine, author of the Jazz Piano Book
