Book Cover & Preview Text
Would you rather “Play to Learn” or slowly, painfully ‘Learn to Play’ What makes the HAPI Book happy is that students play a lot more piano in lot less time. Life is short. Learning to play the piano need not be painfully slow. A shortcut is different path to get you someplace faster. It may not be easier, it may also be an adventure, but faster with fascination might be best. These shortcuts do not leave the pianist ill equipped, on the contrary, foundations are everything, and the mix of skills used here can inspire reading, playing by ear, improvisation, and brilliant dexterity. You will come to know ‘the keys’. These methods work because from the first they employ the eye, ear and hand, the three most powerful stimulators for learning and retaining. These high volume motivations are reinforced with pleasurable and profitable repetition. It’s no wonder they learn FAST!! (Intelligence growth in children who learn music for six months has been measured to grow as much as ten percent. Neuroscientists report that a strong percentage of the brain is set aside for small muscle control, especially the hand. Music links the hand with the eye and the ear, development is rapid, natural and inevitable.)
