TESTIMONIALS
‘”Couch to Concert: Beginner Piano Course is unquestionably the clearest, most comprehensive, and user-friendly pathway for adult learners on the market that I have seen. It is so much more than a tutor book: Karen Marshall is a master strategist and caring mentor. Her steadfast pedagogical clarity is complemented in this concentrated course by the most enticing, colourful and appropriately arranged music. The result is a holistic logical compendium which cannot fail to stimulate and inspire wholesome progression.”
Murray McLachlan, Professor of Piano at the Royal Northern College of Music and St Andrews’s University
“Couch to Concert: Beginner Piano Course by Karen Marshall is an inspiring new series aimed at teenager and adult beginners. This allin-one bumper book is packed with stylistic pieces, engaging musical activities, performance tips, and so much more. Music theory is introduced clearly, with each concept applied directly to a piece. Karen Marshall’s witty “cheesy” lyrics help learners remember pitch and rhythm, while regular check-ins encourage self-reflection and keep learners motivated and on track. The book is fully supported by audio, including teacher parts and backing tracks. These are a fantastic addition to help with ear training and ensemble playing.
