The Art of Piano Performance is a series of comic books perfect for use as humorous teaching aids and piano teachers. The comic book form has an immediate appeal to young adults and adolescents. Pianists and teachers will enjoy the "in jokes" within the illustrations and situations. All musical terms are defined when used while the illustrations, while humorous, present serious pedagogical information in a light-hearted, understandable manner.

The Spectrum of Expressive Touches

To be true musicians, pianists must understand the basic material with which they work - the expressive touches (articulation). Join in the fun as characters Maestro Profondo, Musabella, and Agitato introduce articulations and their many nuances.
