John Brimhall Adult Piano Course Complete

This Premier “All-Inclusive” Adult Method is designed for the older beginner or as a refresher course for those who wish to resume their passion for playing music. Thoughtfully organized to progress at a steady pace while offering simple and concise lessons and includes an instructional performance recording.

The curriculum starts at the very beginning, so those without any experience will feel comfortable from the very first page, but since this course progresses at an adult pace, even those with some knowledge will still feel challenged and will not sense any undue repetition or prolonged remediation as assorted techniques become more familiar.

A good method should have the effect of challenging the student, but not frustrating them. The goal is to conclude each practice session with a feeling of satisfaction and enthusiastic anticipation of what lies ahead. We accomplish this by focusing on the practical aspects of mechanics, chords, and fingering using a thorough concise approach.

These concepts and techniques are put into practice very quickly, not simply with exercises, but by playing real tunes at appropriate levels of difficulty. Music theory and chord mechanics are presented throughout and incorporated into the main objective of the book, which simply stated, is playing music, and having fun.
