Music At Your Fingertips

As a youth, I idolized this wonderful pianist, whose father was relentless in his daughter's pursuit at keyboard perfection. In her youth she took advice from Sergei Rachmaninoff who described her as one of America's most gifted young pianists. The book actually gives some of his insights as to technique and musicality in piano playing. I would rate this as one of the finest such books out there- particularly for pianists of all ages and abilities!!!

Fantastic!

It is a wonderful and helpful book for musicians, especially for pianists. She gave us many precious and practical experiences and knowledge of being an artist. I think it is one of the best tool book for musicians.
