Piano Zen (book with Audio Online)

Publisher: Hal Leonard
The Art of Playing Peaceful, Relaxing Music

Mark Harrison gets you into the Piano Zen mood by taking you through all the necessary steps to create your own “Calm Piano” music.
Topics covered include: triad patterns for left and right hands; creating melodies from major, minor and pentatonic scales; using 7th chords in your arrangements; and expanding your style with more sophisticated harmony and rhythm.
All of these concepts are demonstrated with over 90 accompanying audio tracks featuring solo piano, and play-along backing tracks for the “Piano Pieces” section at the end of the book.
