    About this ebook

    The full eBook version of The Piano in Black and White by Mark Tanner. In fixed-layout format, with downloadable audio.
    The Piano in Black and White is for everyone with an unrequited love for the piano. It will entice complete beginners to climb a few important rungs up the ladder, coax the fainthearted to become fully fledged players and welcome back those whose previous pianistic experience did not take them far enough.
    Packed with inspirational advice, this book demystifies the process of learning the piano through easy-to-follow photographs, 'play along' online audio and unique techniques such as Finger Pilates and The Ten-by-five Practice Method. By the end of the book you will be able to play 12 beautiful pieces - making this an unmissable book for all would-be pianists!
