Riassunto

Piano by Ear teaches how to play the piano by ear in simple steps, and how to improvise in an array of keys and chord patterns, by working through timeless favorites, folk songs, film music, Christmas songs, and contemporary songs. It also encourages an understanding of how music works from the inside out for any level of player.

Recensione:

There are many piano method books that address the topics of playing by ear and improvising, but they do so all too briefly, treating them as mere footnotes to the main proceeding. This spiral-bound, 130 page, book was written for everyone who wants to be able to play without music books , and focuses entirely on developing this valuable skillset. The book can be used by both complete beginners (with the aid of a teacher) and by those who can already read music. Mackworth-Young s approach is systematic and easy to follow, and I d encourage teachers who have shied away from this area to explore this book, as it lends itself well to the lesson environment. Given plenty of determination and time, students using this book will be helped to play by ear successfully and improvise with more confidence. Highly recommended! --Michael McMillan, Pianist Magazine, December 2015-January 2016

It s the perfect book for those preparing for ABRSM Practical Musicianship exams (I wish I d had this book when doing my Grade 8 Musicianship exam!). Going beyond exams, it could really help teachers wanting to diversify and those wishing to feel confident playing without the score, extemporising or even composing. --Melanie Spanswick, The Classical Piano and Music Education Blog, July 2015

...gives the pianist tools and skills which can be applied to other pieces, and the book is laid out simply and clearly so that you find yourself progressing to modulations and improvising with the blues logically and comfortably. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. --Fiona Lau, Music Teacher Magazine, September 2015
