Harmony at the Piano adapts the traditional study of keyboard harmony to the practical needs of modern piano students, using innovative exercises to help students practice their repertoire more deliberately, consciously, and creatively.

Recenzje

"Ken Johansen's teaching has provided a marvelous benefit to a great number of my piano students over the years. Harmony at the Piano is a truly valuable work which will help younger as well as the most advanced musicians to reach a higher understanding of our art."

Benjamin Pasternack, Professor, Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University　

"I think this is a superb textbook; it combines clear, practical and helpful information and directions for the students with a deep artistic sensibility—a rare combination, especially for a textbook. I appreciate how the author emphasizes the link between keyboard harmony and repertoire, and I especially like the advice for how to use this material for memorizing repertoire."

Roger Graybill, New England Conservatory
