This text is aimed at music majors who must pass a piano proficiency examination before graduating. Every chapter is tightly structured around skills that majors must know. Hilley's expert pedagogical approach takes full advantage of Olson's original music (written especially for this text), and the book aggressively pursues its musical goals. Together, the authors have created a compelling and consistent text that synthesizes keyboard skills, music theory, and creativity.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for all Keyboardists!,
By
This review is from: Piano for the Developing Musician (Spiral-bound)
I studied under Martha at the University of Texas and went through her program using this book. I resented having to learn piano - it wasn't my primary instrument. In fact, I couldn't have been less interested in piano. But time goes by and a decade later I am actually a keyboardist in a rock band. I credit my ability to cover many styles to Martha and the PDM book. My wife, a "real" pianist, is amazed that I can improvise and cover most any tune with ease - something she isn't able to do very well (though she is a remarkable pianist). Bottom line - this is an excellent book and should be studied by PIANISTS as well as other musicians. I would submit that THE three books to have for all Keyboardists to own are 1) The Jazz Piano Book - Mark Levine, 2) Jazz Theory - Mark Levine, 3) Piano for the Developing Musician. Great Books. Buy 'em! Love and Peace, Brian
