  Have you ever wondered why learning the basics of playing a keyboard is not enough? Why do we need to take advanced lessons and hone our skills even further? How can advanced keyboard lessons push your hobby into something more serious, possibly as far as a career in music? This book will explore why advancing your keyboard learning journey is so important and how it can help you reach greater heights in the music industry. 
  First off, what exactly do advanced keyboard lessons entail? Many keyboard books provide basic tutorials on playing chords, scales, and other simple sounds, but these are too rudimentary for those who wish to take their music to the next level. Advanced keyboard lessons delve into more complex topics such as trills, textures, leaps, and even jazz and blues music. Through chapters 1-2, readers will learn about advanced chords to play on the piano. Chapter 3 explores melodic and harmonic scales, while chapter 4 delves into trills, textures, and leaps. It’s important to practice what you have learned and find ways to apply it within various musical genres and settings. In Chapters 5 and 6, we look at jazz and blues music as well as honing techniques to become a better player. We will look at how classical music can benefit from keyboard-playing techniques and explore jazz, pop, rock, and blues styles. With this knowledge under your belt, you will be in a position to bring creative energy into any performance.

  Duran Duran's Rio

  In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound—influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock—the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as ""Hungry Like the Wolf"" and the title track.However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos, which established Duran Duran as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion, and the group's cutting-edge visual aesthetic. Via extensive new interviews with band members and other figures who helped Rio succeed, this book explores how and why Rio became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration—and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.
