The Pop Piano Player: Isn't She Lovely
Faber Music
ISMN 0-571-53296-9
The Pop Piano Player books aim to to help pianists understand and play a selection of the greatest pop songs
so that they are truly 'under their fingers'. The pieces in this book span almost five decades of popular music,
representing styles from the 60's to the present day and from musicians from both sides of the Atlantic.
First published in 2009, Pop Piano: Isn't She Lovely is intended for Grades 6 to 8. It has 15 arrangements on 64 pages.
Price £12.99
CD Included!
Performances of each piece, played by John Kember.
Each piece is presented in two formats, which gives both the basic chord structure and symbols as well as a piano arrangement of each song. By learning the changes, the chords will become familiar, the progressions more readily understood and the shapes will lie more comfortably under the hands.
The arrangements for piano solo which follow keep largely to the same chord patterns though with some changes to the overall structure regarding verses etc., to create a balanced piano solo. These solos I have recorded on the accompanying CD.
