About the author

Born in the Midlands during the 1930’s, then brought up from modest beginnings in the South of England, the author was shocked to discover at the age of 43, during a divorce and custody battle for his children, that he was adopted at birth. He decided to search for his natural parents, which led to an entirely new and wealthy family with an inspiring 700 year old history. The next thirty years were an incredible journey covering every emotion from excitement, joy, sadness and despair, including an extraordinary number of unusual coincidences and a series of lucky breaks.
Before his retirement he pursued a stimulating career as a chartered civil engineer, managing multi-million pound projects in the UK. A keen sportsman all his life, he is also passionate about travelling, history, music, and meeting people.

Excellent

This book is a very good refresher course, since I haven't played in many years.










Thank you for the help.

My poor third world country ass has no money for piano lessons so this is the best thing that ever happened to me. 😭

Excellent ! Traditional. Foundational.

I used this book as a child and am now rediscovering it as an adult. Starting over from scratch. This time on my own with the kindle audio support. The sequential nature of the program is easy to follow. The short pieces and variety of
finger sequences keep me interested and coming back for more.
