Thu, 8 Mar 2012 19:21:39 EST

Emilio Morales, a Cuban piano master, and musicologist Jon Griffin know the importance of the piano's role in Cuban music. Now they are going to share their knowledge with piano lovers everywhere.
 
Morales describes the piano as an instrument that has rhythm, melody and harmony. 'You have to know where to apply the piano and how to use the piano,' he says.
 
In their new book Cuban Masters Series: Piano, which is now available for purchase, the duo will teach readers how to do exactly that. They will discuss topics from the traditional Cha-cha-chá and bolero to son moderno and timba.
 
Cuban Masters Series: Piano is not a book simply filled with a bunch of exercises to practice. Instead it shows real examples of Cuban music.
 
The book also includes the following topics:

• Understanding Montuno
• Son Montuno
• Montuno Variations
• Danzón
• Danzón Form
• Mambo
• Playing With the Bass
• Changüi
