“If you’ve ever been flipping channels and stumbled across the weekly television series The Piano Guy on PBS, you know who Bradley Sowash and Scott Houston are: two pianists with the simple message that playing piano should be fun. With Sowash and Houston’s Play Piano in a Flash! The Next Step burgeoning musicians can learn how to interpret chord symbols and position them on the piano, play left-hand self-accompaniment patterns and generate spontaneous right-hand melodies. It helps that The Next Step is full of huge diagrams documenting recognizable songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star because, as the back of the book states, sometimes pianists get bored with classical music and just yearn to play something jazzy. Here’s the book to show you how to do it.”
