Learn to play one of Bach's most exquisite preludes in just 6
weeks, even if you have never played the piano before. An
accessible and inspiring book by the pianist and international
bestselling writer James Rhodes, who promises that it gives anyone
with two hands, a piano or an electric keyboard and just 45 minutes
a day the tools they need to learn to play Bach's Prelude No. 1 in
C Major in 6 weeks, even if they know nothing about music and have
never even touched a piano before. How often do we convince
ourselves that it's just too late - too late to learn how to ride a
bike, too late to know how to meditate, too late to travel the
world... As we get older and time slips through our fingers like
water, we become resigned, almost defeatist, about abandoning our
dreams. For James Rhodes, after the inevitable "How many hours a
day do you practice?" and "Show me your hands", the most common
thing people say to him when they hear he's a pianist is "I used to
play the piano as a kid. I really regret giving it up". Where does
this mourned and misplaced creativity go? For Rhodes, it's still
there to be tapped into by all of us, at any point. This
inspirational book gives us the means to do this, by breaking up
Bach's seminal Prelude No. 1 from the Well-Tempered Clavier into
manageable segments, teaching us the basics of piano playing - how
to read music, the difference between the treble and the bass clef,
sharp and flat notes, how to practice etc.. - and encouraging
personal interpretation in a way that is guaranteed to soothe the
mind, feed the soul and unleash creative powers we didn't know we
still had. All of this will culminate in an ability to perform one
of Bach's masterpieces. "If listening to music is soothing for the
soul, then playing music is achieving enlightenment. It's going
from kicking a ball around with a few pals to playing alongside
Ronaldo."
