How to Play the Keyboard
Keyboard Crash Course is a short book, about 50 pages, that discusses how to take what you already know from learning classical piano and how to apply it to the electric keyboard and mostly within a band setting.
For the classically trained pianist, or myself as a cellist, reading lead sheets can be cumbersome and difficult. What in the world is an A#sus+4? And how does that translate into music, but more importantly, how are you supposed to play that particular chord on the piano? What happens when you get a chart that has chords like the one above and a melody, what are you supposed to do with your left hand? What is the appropriate approach to dealing with chord progressions and inversions of chords? These are just a few of the many many questions piano players deal with when they are asked to basically improvise from a chord chart. To many pianists, learning their own instrument in a new way can be extremely daunting and can sometimes feel damaging to their technique, but this book, Keyboard Crash Course really helps settle your fears and provides a unified approach to dealing with the most common problems classically trained pianist face when presented with keyboard style music.
