Keyboard Giveaway Celebrates National Piano Month

In celebration of September being National Piano Month, Making Music magazine is teaming up with Alfred Music to get you started playing piano

Always wanted to play piano like Diana Krall or Dave Brubeck? Are you one of the two-thirds of Americans that a Gallup poll found would like to play a musical instrument? Why not give it a try? After all, there’s plenty to persuade you: music making has many health benefits; you’re never too old to learn to play; and, above all, it’s fun.

In celebration of September being National Piano Month, Making Music magazine is teaming up with Alfred Music to get you started playing piano. Alfred’s Teach Yourself to Play Piano Complete Starter Pack contains everything you need to begin playing piano today:

• Alfred’s Teach Yourself to Play Piano book
• Audio CD with demo and performance tracks
• DVD instructional video and software  (Mac & PC compatible)
• A high-quality electric keyboard

This package includes a companion DVD that uses the same step-by-step approach as Alfred Music’s best-selling book, Alfred’s Teach Yourself to Play Piano in a fun audio/visual format. The DVD features live performances that demonstrate how the music should sound and notes on the screen to provide an easy introduction to reading music. It includes bonus MP3 tracks of the examples in the book for listening and playing along.

“When I tell people I play the piano, the most common reply I hear is, ‘Oh I’ve always wanted to play but…’,” says Making Music magazine Editor-in-Chief Antoinette Follett. “Now is the perfect time to start playing, no matter what your age. Experts agree that one of the healthiest activities for an adult is music making, a hobby that challenges and conditions both mind and body.”  Visit the Making Music Mag Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/makingmusicmag> to enter.
