Here’s what people are saying in the Amazon reviews (33 five-star reviews on Amazon UK alone!):

  • If only I had read this years ago. Bill Hilton writes as well as he talks on YouTube. Really clear and absorbing, finally shedding light on many music mysteries/terminology. Now trying to do it justice on my piano. Incredible value for money. Worth ten stars if they existed! ★★★★★

  • I’m a complete novice and discovered this guy on YouTube. The book gives clear explanations of how to give bit of oomph to the keyboard, and the techie stuff behind the oomph. ★★★★★

  • What can I say other than this book is best quality and a really useful tool in the process of learning to play the keyboard ‘properly’. ★★★★★

  • Bill Hilton is a great teacher love his YouTube vids and his enthusiasm for teaching the piano! ★★★★★
