Product Description
Many of us baby boomers learned to play a musical instrument in our youth, and typically left that skill behind with our youth as well. Yet today numerous studies have established that learning a musical instrument is one of the best ways to keep the aging brain agile and retentive. This finding is especially true for playing, or even trying to play, the piano. Learning the piano later in life is strictly a hobby and like any hobby, it should be fun.
Author Robert M. Fells has discovered a secret about becoming a pianist in later life: you dont have to be very good at it to derive enjoyment from playing, for others to enjoy hearing you play, and to help keep your mind thinking young.
This book contains various discoveries and observations on learning the piano in later life. Largely self-taught and with no special aptitude for music, the author was motivated by a love of piano music and a sincere desire to play a number of works. He found some simple short cuts to master favorite works of music, including the secret to learning new pieces easily, and how to develop confidence in teaching yourself to become a pianist. Your ultimate goal is to become an independent pianist, not tethered to exercise books or grade level-type of instruction books. You play what you like and like what you play. Best of all, your mind will thank you for it.
