PIANO ZEN BK/OLA

Improvising your own peaceful, relaxing music on the piano may seem difficult for beginners, but it doesn't have to be! Pianist, composer/arranger, educator, and author Mark Harrison gets you into the <i>Piano Zen</i> mood by taking you through all the necessary steps to create your own &ldquo;Calm Piano&rdquo; music. Topics covered include: triad patterns for left and right hands; creating melodies from major, minor and pentatonic scales; using 7th chords in your arrangements; and expanding your style with more sophisticated harmony and rhythm. All of these concepts are demonstrated with over 90 accompanying audio tracks featuring solo piano, and play-along backing tracks for the &ldquo;Piano Pieces&rdquo; section at the end of the book.
