"Keyboard Skills for the Practical Musician is a textbook for undergraduate music majors in class piano courses. The book strives to promote thoughtful, independent, and proficient musicians who enjoy using the piano comfortably, confidently, and musically in most situations they will encounter. The topics are sequenced well, organized by skill, rather than by level, giving the teacher much flexibility in instruction. Focused on building specific practical skills, one can draw from many sections of the book in any given class or semester. There are numerous well-paced examples to develop basic keyboard skills (reading, harmonization, accompaniment) all in one section, in a step-by-step approach"-- Provided by publisher.
