The Complete Pianist: from healthy technique to natural artistry offers a new and unique approach to piano playing, in which Penelope Roskell shares a lifetime's experience of teaching, performing and groundbreaking research into healthy piano playing. Containing more than 500 pages of text, 300 videos and 250 exercises newly devised by the author, this is the most comprehensive book ever written on piano playing. The book has something new to offer to all pianists and keyboard players - student and teacher, professional and amateur. Roskell guides pianists through the early stages of learning a piece, through all the technical challenges and interpretative choices, towards inspired performance. Each new aspect of playing is addressed through a series of practical exercises which proceed, step-by-step, from the basics towards more advanced applications. Roskell demonstrates all the musical and technical points herself in videos accessible by smartphone, tablet or computer.
