内容概要

Keyboard instruments have been at the forefront of music-making for centuries.Now, thanks to recent technological advances they are more affordable and readily available than ever before, inspiring thousands of would-be performers to take up the piano or electric keyboard every year. These beginners have widely differing musical tastes and ambitions, but they all share the need for a straightforward yet comprehensive tutor that will enable them to start playing as quicklyand easily as possible.     Learn to Play the Piano and Keyboard is just such a book: it offers advice on choosing a suitable instrument and shows--with the help of a wealth of diagrams and color photographs--the correct way to finger notes and chords. It also demonstrates how these elements can be combined to create simple, yet satisfying, melodies and accompaniments. Later chapters demystify the process of reading staff notation, and feature pieces and exercises in a range of styles (including classical, folk, and ragtime), while the book concludes with advice for learners keen to plan the next stages of what author Nick Freeth characterizes as a 'journey of musicaldiscovery.' Nick himself has over four decades of playing experience, and the guidance, encouragement, and motivation that his book provides will surely inspire all budding musicians at whom it's aimed.作者简介：    Nick Freeth began [earning the piano in childhood, going on to take up the organ and the guitar as a teenager. After a 20-year career in music radio production in the UK, during which he made programs for both the BBC and commercial stations, he wrote his first two books, The Acoustic Guitarand The Electric Guitar in collaboration with Charles Alexander.    Nick's subsequent work has focused both on music and American culture: it includes The Illustrated Directory of Guitars, and Learn to Play the Guitar, as well as highly acclaimed guides to Route 66, and the Pacific Coast Highway. He has also written extensively on crime-related subjects and British railway history.
