The new Casio keyboard and piano course claims to provide everything musicians could wish for.
 Presto! is the fantastic new Piano and Keyboard course used exclusively in Casio Music Centres around the UK. Causing a buzz of excitement from both traditionalist piano teachers, contemporary keyboard tutors and students of all ages, this course provides everything musicians could wish for.
Created by two highly experienced teachers within the group tuition field, Presto! has been designed to be easy to teach and fun to learn from, whilst giving the student the very best in musical education.
Presto! is the only music course in the world to be recognised by the London College of Music and Media (LCMM), with each book leading directly onto the corresponding LCMM Electronic Keyboard graded exam. Whether you want to sit your exams, play in a band with friends, play professionally or just play for fun, Presto! is the complete course.
Starting from the absolute basics, Presto! is clearly presented and written for students of all ages from 6 to 106! This easy to follow, progressive course is designed to produce true musicians by using a variety of engaging tunes from traditional favourites to purpose-written pieces. By following the course and accompanying CD carefully, you will not only learn how to read music, understand and play pieces, but you will become accomplished at improvising, composing and accompanying other musicians.
You will also learn how to quickly identify the patterns and shapes within the music, thus making music easier to read, understand and play. The pieces and exercises within the entire Presto! course book system are not only designed to be fun to play but are also uniquely arranged in such as way as to unlock the mysteries of music.
Right from the very first few pages of Book 1, you will learn principles and concepts that you will
continue to use for the rest of your musical life. You will learn how to read full music notation,
interpret chord symbols into full piano accompaniments and techniques to build your dexterity and
musical knowledge.
“Presto! is a great achievement, characterised by a thoroughly practical, common sense approach. The choice of music combines plenty of old favourites with some imaginative, specially composed material. Traditional theory is painlessly drip-fed throughout, and the explanations are foolproof.
Presto! is attractively presented and has been intelligently thought through by two experienced
practitioners in the field. I do not know a better introduction to the electronic keyboard.”
