The Ultimate Guide To Piano Chords

I’m delighted to announce the release of my new piano pedagogy book, The Ultimate Guide To Piano Chords, co-written with Ruth Alberici and Lona Kozik.

With this book we aim to revolutionise the way students learn music theory — it should be beautiful and fun! Students will play music theory at the piano. It is an experience, not a boring worksheet. It’s actually like an adventure! And students not only really enjoy it, but they gain a much deeper understanding of what they’re doing.

Karen Marshall, the award-winning award-winning author of over 20 pedagogical piano books wrote:

“As music educators, we are always looking for excellent resources that demystify music theory while keeping joy at the centre of learning. Ruth Alberici, Garreth Brooke and Lona Kozik have delivered a wonderfully creative one-stop shop that empowers students to not only understand and use chords, but to truly enjoy and play with them.”

There are some previews below, plus a video where I play through just a few of the exercises in the book. You can also read more about it on my Piano Creativity site, where I’ll be posting about it regularly over the next months. Here’s the first post.
