An orchestra in miniature. That is today's 'musical miracle' - the electronic keyboard with its variety of effects ranging from the sweet notes of the flute to the thrilling sound of the big band. And now, with this course written by a leading authority, you can learn to play in a fraction of the time it takes to learn a conventional instrument. Based on popular songs and with easy-to-follow text and clear diagrams, it assumes no knowledge of keyboard or music. Yet right from the beginning you will be playing arrangements which include a complete rhythm section consisting of full-sounding chords, bass and drums.

• Revised editions of Books 1, 2 & 3 are now available with an optional top quality demonstration CD or cassette, made by Kenneth Baker.

 
This book is my birthday pressie from Sarah, who somehow always manages to get it right! She has this incredible ability to put her finger right on the button of what to get me, and this book was no exception. I've totally not explored the functionality of my fabulous new keyboard yet, in fact it's been set to 'mini grand' the entire time I've had it, so this book will not only teach me how to use all those damn buttons but it's packed with a huge range of cool tunes...and it has the lyrics too! Yay for Sarah!
