Art of Keyboard Improvisation Becomes Science with New Training System
"Keyboard Wisdom by Steven Goomas is a refreshingly unique work that focuses on the illusive concept of improvisation and how to harness, define and use it within a rhythm section. This new theory & technique book with audio CD squeezes the best pearls of wisdom from several previous books and blends them with Goomas' undeniably heartwarming ability to provide complex material in a simple, easy to master way. An unusual feature of this book /CD set is its usefulness for nearly all levels of players. Students from beginner through professional are motivated through incremental improvisational successes as if guided by a personal coach. The book's multiple examples are demonstrated on the CD making the program extremely valuable for those with limited music reading abilities, those who play by ear and players who only read notation. Students enjoy personal development while mastering important theory and fingering. In this new work, Goomas demonstrated that the illusive domain of spirited improvisation can be tamed and provides players with all the tools."

"In many years involved in church music, I find that time and time again piano players have very little knowledge of what improvisation and comping is. Keyboard Wisdom is the perfect resource to teach such concepts. I highly recommend it. Great job Steve!"
