Xtreme piano

Offering an alternative to the old-style methods of previous piano tuition books, Xtreme Piano is exciting, modern and inspirational.

It features core lessons, true stories, superstar tips, top tens and a style guru.

Not only an introduction to the techniques needed to play the piano, Xtreme is designed to inspire a passion for music that will transcend many young adults fickle fads.

With ?Keys?, our resident ivory tickler, the reader will be guided through the world of the piano in an humorous and informative way.

The book is education focused and will complement the national curriculum. Author John Dutton studied at the Royal Academy of Music, graduated from Trinity College, London, and has been playing professionally ever since, recording and touring with many prominent artists.

A recording artist in his own right, he has produced four albums under the name The Apostles and runs his own recording and production company, Westsound.

He also writes soundtracks ? including one recently for the BBC ? and continues to play live.
