The Traditional manner in which most people acquire the skill to play piano is to choose a teacher, commit to lessons and spend many hours practicing. Although there is no substitute for the amount time it takes to master this instrument, we can provide an alternative to the regimented lesson format. Teach Yourself Piano by Bob Hartz, exclusively available from Santorella Publications, was created to support learning the basics of piano on your own schedule and the instructional CD acquaints playing at a pace governed only by you. Bob Hartz begins by presenting the basics and explaining the fundamentals in a logical manner. Additional information is provided in a methodic fashion in an attempt to build on the previously gained knowledge.
