Make your life infused with music!

Casiotone CT-S300 – This is the keyboard I play in most of my videos.  It’s easy to program and play and it allows you to choose different options to enhance your playing.  It comes pre-programmed with lots of different voices and rhythm styles to choose from.  It’s affordable too – it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to get started playing!

50 First Songs You Should Play on Keyboard – I love this book. It has so many great songs to play in easy to play arrangements. The description from the publisher, Hal Leonard, “This collection in our patented E-Z Play Today notation features 50 simple arrangements of must-know hits: And So It Goes * Axel F * Billie Jean * Can’t Help Falling in Love * Defying Gravity * Don’t Stop Believin’ * Ebony and Ivory * Fallin’ * Fields of Gold * Hallelujah * In My Life * Killing Me Softly with His Song * Rolling in the Deep * Sweet Caroline * Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) * That’s What Friends Are For * You Are the Sunshine of My Life * You’re My Best Friend * and more.” This book is a great place to start your own musical journey!

Simple Songs: E-Z Play Today Volume 15 – Another great collection from Hal Leonard with the same easy to play notation. This collection includes 50 all-time favorites. Titles include: Any Dream Will Do * Blue Skies * Crazy * Do-Re-Mi * Hallelujah * Imagine * Let It Go * Misty * Over the Rainbow * Star Wars (Main Theme) * Tomorrow * Unchained Melody * What a Wonderful World * Yesterday * and more. 

Once you have mastered the basics of this technique, I highly recommend this book! The World’s Greatest Fake Book has over 1200 songs in almost every genre you can think of. It includes songs from jazz, rock, pop, classical, Christmas, and folk music just to name a few. It has all forms of chords and more advanced notation than the Hal Leonard books, but it is a great collection. You’ll find almost every song you can think of in this book!
