Tone, Touch and Technique for the Young Pianist

Max Cooke brings to life the theories of posture, gesture and co-ordination, which lead to ease and beauty in piano playing. Explanations about muscular control, finger action, the role of the arms and sense of touch lead directly to exercises for specific aspects of performance, and these in their turn lead to the application of the skills acquired in actual music examples.
