If you are an absolute beginner (any age) and want a complete guide from scratch to learn mainly for home use then a great option is “The Ultimate Piano / Keyboard Self Tuition Book”. This book assumes that you know nothing and will take you to a fairly advanced level and has replaced “Learn in a Week” as our flagship book.

Included with this book are several other titles in digital format including “Hanon”, “Scales”, “Chords” and more which makes this book the best ‘bang for buck’ without a doubt.

Ultimate Lulu 2

Available as paperback or printable eBook.


Similar to the above this will take absolute beginners to a fairly advanced level. This is very similar to the above (so you certainly wouldn’t need both). The main difference is that the scales and chords are included in this book rather than relying on downloads. But taking into account the downloads, the ‘Ultimate’ book has slightly more information.

Learn in a Week

Available as paperback or printable eBook.


If you are an absolute beginner (any age) but would like the basics ‘spoon fed’ then “Learn to Play Piano / Keyboard for Absolute Beginners - A Self Tuition Book for Adults & Teenagers!” is ideal. But note that this will not take you as far as the “Ultimate Piano” book, but without doubt this is my best selling book by far.

Available as paperback or printable eBook.


If you are an absolute beginner (any age) but would like the basics ‘spoon fed’ to you in a humorous way then “Learn to Play Piano / Keyboard with Filo & Pastry” is ideal. But note that this will only take you to a fairly basic level, not as far as “Piano / Keyboard for Absolute Beginners”, but is an ideal prelude for either of the last three books.

If you are an absolute beginner (any age) and the thought of learning to read music is too daunting then “Learn How to Play to Play Piano Keyboard by Ear” could be your best bet.

This book has hundreds of graphics and will take you to a very advanced level, but without reading music, giving you a great finger technique as well as all the scales and chords that you need. You can always learn to read music later. This also includes several free digital items including ‘Scales’ and ‘Chords’ in keyboard view and ‘How to Read Music’ - just in case you want to later.

If you can already read music, perhaps after using one of the tuition books and want some totally original pieces suitable for piano or keyboard then my book “Tranquil Water”  is ideal.  All of the pieces are playable by mortals and sound great.

And furthermore, as against most music books you can hear these pieces before you buy. If you don’t like them - don’t buy it, but have a listen, you may be surprised!

In all cases the eBook versions are in PDF format which can be read on any PC or book eBook reader. EPub and kindle formats are also available, but  due to music graphics PDF is much better.

All of my books come with a money back guarantee, but paperbacks must be returned in a resalable condition in the original packaging.
