Great for all Keyboardists!, December 27, 2001
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
