Product Description
PIANO FOR THE DEVELOPING MUSICIAN, 6th Edition delivers a wealth of performance music for the music major who must pass a piano proficiency before graduating. The Online Tutorials, which is a virtual second book, add author guidance and more practice music to the components of every chapter. The pedagogical structure divides every chapter into Exemplary Repertoire (the keynote composition), Topics to Explore and Discuss (musicology), Technique (skill at the piano), Reading (sight-playing), Keyboard Theory (theory), Harmonization (theory), Transposition (theory), Improvisation (theory and creativity), Ensemble (multiple pianos), Composition (theory and creativity), and Subsequent Repertoire (further exploration of the keynote concepts). With a flexibility that allows students or instructors to control individual or class progress, Hilleys expert pedagogical approach takes full advantage of Olsons music (much of which was written especially for this text), as well as music from the keyboard literature. Together, the authors have created a compelling and consistent text that synthesizes keyboard skills, music theory, and creativity in every chapter and coordinates with the theory curriculum.

 A Useful Method with some quirks August 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
PIano for the Developing Musician is a comprehensive piano course that incorporates much of the current research about music learning. It would not be my choice for my private studio, but appears (admittedly, I haven't combed the entire book) to be appropriate for a college level piano class. The one drawback that I encountered involves some of the original music. While it is applicable to the lessons being taught, some of the selections are so weird as to not be engaging to the student.
A good book for a beginning piano student January 4, 2007

It is very informative and a great learning device for the beginning piano student that doesn't know anything about playing the piano.
Great for all Keyboardists! December 27, 2001

I studied under Martha at the University of Texas and went through her program using this book. I resented having to learn piano - it wasn't my primary instrument. In fact, I couldn't have been less interested in piano. But time goes by and a decade later I am actually a keyboardist in a rock band. I credit my ability to cover many styles to Martha and the PDM book. My wife, a "real" pianist, is amazed that I can improvise and cover most any tune with ease - something she isn't able to do very well (though she is a remarkable pianist). Bottom line - this is an excellent book and should be studied by PIANISTS as well as other musicians. I would submit that THE three books to have for all Keyboardists to own are 1) The Jazz Piano Book - Mark Levine, 2) Jazz Theory - Mark Levine, 3) Piano for the Developing Musician. Great Books. Buy 'em! Love and Peace, Brian
Great teaching tool! July 19, 2000

This book is wonderful for teachers who want to teach non-piano musicians how to play. Also useful for teaching oneself how to play. Easy to follow, which makes the piano easy to play! Great book!
