(Non-classical) piano method for adults?

Post by Gone Fission »

So I was given a cheap but decent enough “piano” style electronic keyboard thing, and I want to work at it a bit. I did classical piano lessons as a kid, so it was one of my pre-guitar instruments and kind of the deepest one. (I have the passing thought that my life would be different if I had gotten a hand-me-down mono synth, portable organ, of electric piano at 13 instead of a guitar.) But that fell off long ago. Along with sight reading, with the bass clef getting the worse of it.

Has anybody seen any self-instruction stuff for adults that’s less stiff than the Suzuki stuff that I had started on? Rock, pop, not-too-deep jazz? Wouldn’t mind working on Satie pieces, but I’m happy to leave the typical Moonlight Sonata parlor music to everyone else.

No Billy Fucking Joel.

Have you ever checked out this book? I have a copy around here somewhere. When I was working with it years ago, I felt it was quite helpful for diving in immediately. (basic rhythms, straightforward informal concepts)
