Learn piano through the beautiful world of neoclassical and contemporary music.

Neoclassical & Contemporary Piano Method 1–2: Tree of Life Roots takes you from beginner to intermediate level through original piano pieces by composer and piano teacher Hanna Kekäläinen. Along the way, you will learn music notation, essential theory, rhythm, technique, dynamics, expression and pedal use as a natural part of playing the music.

"My own journey with this style of piano music began as a teenager, when I fell in love with Michael Nyman’s soundtrack for The Piano. Its repeating, hypnotic patterns and harmonies captivated me, and this music has remained an important part of both my composing and teaching ever since. This book brings that musical world together with a clear and accessible approach to learning the piano."

Each piece comes with its own free video tutorial. In the printed edition, a QR code next to each piece gives you direct access to the corresponding tutorial. In the e-book, each tutorial can be opened directly through a clickable link.

The book is suitable for independent learning as well as study with a piano teacher.
