Getting a child to play piano has never been easier! This is a fantastic, fun and stress-free way to give kids the basic skills needed to play piano - without emphasis on classical music or complex notation theory. The legendary 'Piano Guy', whose "Play Piano in a Flash!" helped millions of adults to acquire the skills used in playing piano without recourse to the often confusing world of music theory, is back with a revised version of the same successful system aimed specifically at children. Using a simple technique adopted by many professional pianists and easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrations that demonstrate each stage of learning, Houston's uniquely effective method teaches kids to play popular music on the piano without having to read complicated sheet music. Many kids - and adults - are put off by the twin frustrations of the subject matter taught by most traditional music teachers and the lengthy and complex process by which it is learned. Now children can access the music they want to play without having to go through the intimidating stages of music theory. This is the perfect tool for parents or teachers to help their children play piano quickly and easily.
