Get it immediately. The Pop Piano Book was written by Mark Harrison. The most accessible and valuable keyboard method is available for those interested in popular styles. The method is fun. Almost anyone who puts a little effort into it should play better. One of the best books on how to play. From the most basic keyboard concepts to some seriously grooving stuff. You will be able to play at a higher level if you work your way through this. I am very impressed with the information in this book. Russell Ferrante, keyboardist with the Yellowjackets, wishes he could have had the book while he was learning.
