free online piano lessons - learn, teach piano

This book teaches the most efficient methods known for learning piano and includes sections on the
Chromatic Scale and Piano Tuning. This is the only "Fundamentals of Piano Practice" site that is always up
to date. So far, I have uploaded the:

1. Complete book in PDF format (266 pages; I have fixed all the links in the book - let me know if I
missed any); I do not plan to upload any other formats,
2. Thumb-over/Thumb-under videos in .mp4 and .wmv formats (one of these should work in your
computer), and
3. Palm stretch photo of section III.7.e.
4. Addendum to the book.
5. Sheet music for the compositions discussed in the book, contributed by David Baptista. For a larger
library of free sheet music, go to IMSLP; you may find better editions here, especially for Bach.
6. For purchasing a printed book, 55% discounts for teachers, and additional information for recent
updates and new material, instructions for teachers and students, etc., go to General Information. This
book is also available as ebooks at Kindle, Apple iBookstore, and Nook (Barnes & Noble), $8.00.
7. Here is a good list of Piano Teachers.
8. Recordings of performances by Combe's students, starting with an incredible performance by Mayo
Tsuzuki of Saint Saens' second piano concerto.

I have also started a new web page called WisdomWorld, where I discuss useful information I learned in my
