With Contemporary Piano: A Performer and Composer’s Guide to Techniques and Resources, Alan Shockley provides a comprehensive resource for composers writing music that uses extended techniques for the piano, and for pianists interested in playing repertoire that makes use of techniques and/or implements unfamiliar to them. Shockley explains dozens of ways to prepare a piano without damaging the instrument, how to notate every standard technique and many, many obscure ones, and the specific geographies of every common concert hall piano. This will be the standard reference for pianists touring and playing inside-the-piano repertoire, and for composers at all levels of familiarity with the piano hoping to understand the mechanical miracle that is the modern piano.

Modern Piano Technique is for those who want to fast-track their ability to play piano with a contemporary feel. It is not a book of songs but, as the title implies, a book that will teach you fundamental techniques used in playing contemporary keyboard. If you learned classical music and are frustrated because you've found it difficult to make the switch to contemporary songs, this book is for you. If you've attained a reasonable level of proficiency in playing modern piano and want to round out your performance using modern methods, this book is for you. Modern Piano Technique introduces you to the techniques modern pianists use in the rock piano style, and gives practical examples of how to apply these techniques to a chord progression. In Modern Piano Technique, you will learn how to play modern piano by learning how to pivot, arpeggiate, use major seventh chords, add ninths and elevenths, rock your music, and more.

This book is a grammar of jazz language, for the piano. It starts by the basic piano techniques, then it analyzes the study of triads. It increases immediately this knowledge by way of practice, the relationship between scales and chords, which is the basis of improvisation. It also deals with 7th chords, with regard to scales, and also in their horizontal and vertical dimensions. Each exercise is not an end to itself, but it helps to understand practice, and the rules of modern harmony. In its second part, is explained the voicing and the study of all other scales, commonly used in jazz. It want point out that this is not an improvisation manual, but a text that presents a series of premises both for theory and practice, to enter the world of improvisation, providing the elements, the language, and the indications about approaching the keyboard. It is an important starting point before entering the following studies of jazz development.

This exciting new teaching method, by the renowned piano pedagogue Hans-Günter Heumann is ideal for adults and young people looking to learn the piano from scratch, or for those returning to the piano after a break from playing. Using classical music as a basis for learning, this method introduces interesting, varied and well-known pieces right from the outset. The two method books have been carefully designed to progress in small manageable steps, beginning with simple fingering patterns and exercises, onto some of the most beautiful melodies and pieces from the baroque, classical and romantic eras, such as the Ode to Joy, Für Elise and the Blue Danube Waltz. Leading the student through a range of exercises, repertoire pieces, theory checks, tips on practicing, playing and technique, and composer biographies, the process of learning is made interesting, informed and fun. The four supplementary volumes present further material to help learning at each stage of the students' development, as well as offering up a wider range of beautiful pieces, for the solo pianist, or piano duet.
