A good piano method book for adults should be easy to understand and pick up whenever free time presents itself and this is that book. Impress your friends and family with your new talent or simply unwind after work with this well-written and effective piano method. Works with Instructor or for Self-Instruction The Hal Leonard Student Piano Library's Adult Piano Method takes an all-in-one approach by combining lessons, solos, technique, and theory into a single volume. The authors have taken a logical step-by-step approach, always keeping the adult learning process in mind. The book is well-paced, moving quickly but comfortably through new concepts and material. Beginning adult students will find this book challenging enough to be interesting, yet easy enough to experience a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. It includes over 150 richly orchestrated accompaniments available online for streaming or download and provide a rewarding musical experience for the players. The Adult Piano Method Book 2 begins with a brief review of concepts covered in Book 1, then proceeds step-by-step through 5-finger patterns in C, G, and F all the way through to major scales in the keys of C, G, and F and their related scales A, E and D minor. Just as in Book 1, the imaginative and entertaining music found throughout Book 2 makes learning a pleasure and a key factor for student success. Great solos emphasize and support the introduction of new concepts in logical, steady sequence. These enticing solos encourage students to move ahead, and they are rewarded with two great arrangements from every adult's "Top Ten" list: "The Entertainer," and "Fur Elise." Improvs, Quick Licks, Ad Libs, Sight Reading, and Technique Tips sprinkled throughout focus on using new skills and add musical fun along the way. Accompaniments & Audio Access Online audio accompaniments are by Phillip Keveren. Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside the book and can be streamed or downloaded. The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right. Follow the method that encourages practice, progress, confidence, and best of all satisfied, engaged students!
