About this title

Review:

"A very instructive, imaginative, and stimulating book." -- Radu Lupu

"Readers who want to become better pianists will welcome Berman's master class. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal

"The book is neither too elementary nor too advanced for any pianist, piano teacher or piano lover. It is informative, inspiring, and entertaining." -- Claude Frank

"What makes Mr. Berman's book so persuasive and enlightening is his understanding that there is no one 'method' of teaching music - each relationship with a student is a process of discovery for teacher and student both." -- Emanuel Ax
