While not for immediate gig material, this method book is excellent for reinforcing core keyboard skills. It clearly presents chord names and foundational rock/blues styles, which are crucial. The included audio tracks are great for quick style assimilation. It's a quick, user-friendly refresher or a perfect recommendation for aspiring keyboardists who want to understand practical music theory and improvisation.

I picked this up to finally learn piano, and it's been a blast! The 'Fast Track' method is so easy to follow, and the 87 songs and examples by Blake Neely make practice really enjoyable. It’s definitely achievable for a weekend player like me. The online audio with the slow-down feature helps me feel like I’m really sounding good right from the start. Highly recommended for adult learners!

While primarily a keyboard method, this book offers a clear understanding of fundamental music notation, chords, and scales. For vocal coaches, it’s a good resource to recommend for students wanting to accompany themselves with basic chord structures. The simple, direct approach to piano texture ensures clarity, laying a strong foundation in harmony that supports basic melodic lines, which is useful for future accompaniment skills.

It thoroughly covers music notation and rhythm, preparing students well. The online audio tracks with PLAYBACK+ are an invaluable teaching aid, making learning both engaging and accessible for independent practice.
