Written by Kansas City's first-call keyboardist Wayne Hawkins, Piano Aerobics is a multi-style, 40-week workout program for building real-world technique. Often when students decide to play in contemporary styles, they lack the chops for the job. The exercises in Piano Aerobics will introduce students to styles such as jazz, salsa, swing, rock, blues, new age, gospel, stride and bossa nova, and help them play with more musical flair. Concepts covered include: keeping time; hand independence; articulations; building a better touch; strengthening weak fingers; accompanying; using the thumb; ear training; and more. The audio features professional musicians performing accompaniment tracks in each style. The accompanying audio is accessed through Hal Leonard's popular MyLibrary system using the provided code. The audio can be streamed or downloaded and includes PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right.

Fun Way to Explore New Piano Styles!
I've been looking for a way to play more than just classical, and Piano Aerobics is perfect! The 40-week workout introduces so many fun styles like blues, jazz, and even bossa nova without feeling overwhelming. The included audio tracks with professionals make practice really enjoyable, and the PLAYBACK+ feature helps me learn at my own pace. It's exciting to develop 'real-world technique'!

Solid Skill Builder for Session Work
Wayne Hawkins' Piano Aerobics is a practical program for any working keyboardist wanting to expand their stylistic palette. While not a songbook for gigs, the exercises in jazz, rock, and salsa directly improve the accompanying skills and musical flair needed on the fly. The accompanying audio with PLAYBACK+ is a huge plus for practicing different feels. Essential technique development.
