Sure, you play the piano…about as well as you played when your piano teacher, Mrs. Rosenberg, retired in 1979. Now the time has come to take your playing skills to the next level with Improve Your Piano Playing. Simplified and tested techniques are explained clearly so that anyone who already plays for personal pleasure or performance can eliminate recurring mistakes and master the art of workable fingering, expressive touch, phrasing, tone production, and pedaling. Through a structured process of practice, learning new pieces is made simple—the techniques focus on correcting frequent mistakes, dealing with tricky passages, and interpretation. A section on pianos and how they work contains information every musician should know. Mrs. Rosenberg is gone now, but you can still make her proud—with Improve Your Piano Playing.

Dr. John Meffen is a well-respected pianist, teacher, and music scholar. The adjudicator member of the British Federation of Festivals, the music secretary of the Darlington Music Festival, and the associate conductor of the Darlington Orchestra, he lives in Great Britain.
