Yamaha YDPS31 Arius Console Piano With Folding Key Cover And 3-Pedal Cabinet. Review

I've had the digital piano for about 1 year already and still loving it. Totally converted to a believer in digital piano.Even though it is in the lower end of the line, it doens't feel that way.The weighted keys have a real acoustic piano feel to it, and it is very sensitive to touch. The sounds are beautiful.It actually sounds better and feel better than the 15 year old acoustic piano that I had when I started learning piano as a kid.The most beautiful part of it is that I can play it in the middle of the night without waking anyone up.

Back to Titanic (Songbook - Piano) [Paperback] Review

This sheet music collection is of course from James Cameron's "Titanic."Specifically, these songs are found on the second music CD that was released from that movie, "Back toTitanic."
I bought this book because from that second CD there wasone particularly good piano solo, "The Portrait."However, I didnot find it as enjoyable to play as I thought I would.In the othersongbook from "Titanic" that was released is a piece entitled"Rose."That is very similar to "The Portrait" exceptthat "Rose" is a lot more powerful and compelling."ThePortrait" requires a softer touch that what I prefer in pianomusic.
The other pieces were not as enjoyable as the first"Titanic" songbook (which, by the way, is the best book ofsoundtrack music, and it can easily be found by searching for its ISBN:0793592240).A lot of the pieces in this second book are based on songsrather than the score.
Contents: AN IRISH PARTY IN THIRD CLASS *ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND * THE PORTRAIT * JACK DAWSON'S LUCK * A BUILDINGPANIC * NEARER MY GOD TO THEE * COME JOSEPHINE, IN MY FLYING MACHINE * ASHORE NEVER REACHED * MY HEART WILL GO ON (LOVE THEME FROM TITANIC) *EPILOGUE * THE DEEP AND TIMELESS SEA
The "My Heart Will Go On"song is also in the first "Titanic" songbook.That is apiano/vocal/guitar piece, and I did not find it as enjoyable on the pianoas the score music.The rest of the pieces are piano solos (with vocalmusic included for "Come Josephine").One big plus in my mindfor the book is that the publishers did not waste money on full-colorinserts from the movie.
I recommend the other "Titanic"songbook first, and then this only to those who really like the music fromthe movie.

The Classical Wedding: Piano Solo [Paperback] Review

I love the songs in this book - easy enough to play, but sound great.I had to practice a few to play in a wedding, but for the most part, it was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was that the book wouldn't stay open.I had to take it and get it spiral bound at a local Kinko's.

PianoHead Review

This is a Win/Win product for teachers and students.With over 30 years experience, and a large studio of successful students, I can attest that Piano Head taps into the quick visual perception both honed in today's youth by video games, and required by successful music readers.Kids are further motivated by the challenge to appear on the Worldwide Scoreboard, which entices them to practice their note and interval recognition to the desired level of automaticity.I have many students who have leapedto a higher level of understanding and enthusiasm forplaying the piano, as Piano Head has lifted them beyond the mundane level of "hunt and peck".At a time when national studies show that a large percentage of piano students drop out after two years of lessons because they cannot read music,I cannot recommend this product highly enough!

A Lesson With Steve Allen: An Introduction to Jazz Piano Review

The late Steve Allen was a modern renaissance man or maybe just a jack of all trades in music and performing.He wrote and played popular jazz standards as well as being a funny comedian, an author, and a very likeable TV personality.In this DVD made from a 1994 tape he shares a lot of little 'tricks' which he either discovered or learned from the greats of jazz like Art Tatum and others.

I'm just a beginner in piano and I can't pick up eveything he is doing the first time going though this.It will be something you will want to go over many times.There are a lot of things here that if you go over them on your own or better with a teacher can make you sound a lot better than you are.

The DVD is divided into 33 sections of 2-3 minutes each so you can find any of tricks to go over easily.

One of America's most beloved entertainers divulges his personal tricks of the trade (trills, octave vibrato, "fake runs," blues riffs etc.) and shows you how to build arrangements and spice up jazz pieces with a variety of easy techniques.
In his only instructional lesson, Steve Allen covers basic blues, boogie woogie, stride, walking basses, the use of 10ths, descending bass lines and more, while he plays and analyzes "Honeysuckle Rose," "Spring Is Where You Are," "I'm Confessin' That I Love You," "You Can Depend On Me," "A Time For Love" and other jazz standards.
You'll get inside tips about the musical contributions of several jazz masters too, including Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Count Basie and Art Tatum in Steve's entertaining and informative overview of jazz piano. A great springboard to further jazz studies!
