Piano Zen

Piano Zen Synopsis

(Piano Instruction). 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 Piano Zen mood by taking you through all the necessary steps to create your own "Calm Piano" 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 "Piano Pieces" section at the end of the book
