Confused by all the theories? Read this book and learn how to REALLY play the piano like a master!
It's everyone's dream! To sit down and play the piano like a master. . . But the sad truth is that most of us who begin piano lessons quit after only a few months or years, unable to play the piano at all. Others of us struggle on, but without satisfaction or without the feeling of having real talent. It never occurs to us that the problem is not with us but with INCORRECT TEACHING! Incredible as it might seem, this is actually the case. Most great pianists play beautifully not because of traditional training but in spite of it! This is because the TRUE PHYSICAL COORDINATION behind all great playing, as simple and natural as it is, is simply not taught! Even more incredible is the reason why the coordination is not taught. It is not taught because what that coordination is HAS NEVER BEEN DETERMINED, even though most first-rate pianists use it intuitively! Considering that piano playing is probably the most studied physical activity in history, this situation defies all belief! Traditional piano pedagogy is so inadequate that it actually IMPEDES development rather than fosters it! Some aspects of traditional piano technique can even cause injury. Just ask any of the legions of pianists with tendonitis or carpel-tunnel syndrome! But now, after more than a century of confusion, here is a book that for the first time in print gives you the CORRECT PHYSICAL COORDINATION for playing the piano masterfully—and without injury! The book also contains priceless wisdom on the subtleties of music making—phrasing, articulation, and interpretation (plus wonderful tips on practicing)—from the renowned piano pedagogue, Aube Tzerko, head of the UCLA piano department for thirty years, and a student of ARTUR SCHNABEL in Berlin in the 1930s!
