INSIDER INFORMATION about my book: “100 Left Han

INSIDER INFORMATION about my book: “100 Left Hand Patterns Every Piano Player Should Know” - I finished this book almost 5 - 6 years before ever releasing it because it took me 5 - 6 years to play all 100 of the songs from the fake book section in this book 100 different ways using the 100 left hand patterns I teach in this book. I encourage all piano students who use this book to play all 100 of the songs from the fake book section in this book 100 different ways in all key signatures. It’s a challenge but is so worth it and when students try this, their piano playing increases exponentially in leaps and bounds. I ask the students in my Essential Piano Exercises course to do the same thing and those who do it, progress faster than other students within the course (you can learn more about my course at essentialpianoexercises.com). Another bit of insider information - this book is also my best-selling book right now and it’s interesting to hear feedback from those who use it. Some say it’s so difficult and pushes the students to really learn all keys but they enjoy the challenge and see their piano playing dramatically improve. Others have said it’s too easy and is such a simple book that they played through it in a few weeks (I think they were referring to playing the 100 songs from the fake book which is entirely in the key of C Major and, as all fake books and lead sheets do, only has one note for the right hand melody with the chord written above each measure (it’s a fake book after all). Whenever I hear someone say the book was not challenging for them because they are an “advanced piano player” and quickly played through this book, I ask them if they played every song 100 different ways and in all keys as the book suggests. They always say no. I then often ask if they at least played one of the songs from the 100 songs in the fake book section 100 different ways and in every key signature. They always say no. Then they usually tell me there is no way they could ever do that and ask me if I know how long that would take. I tell them I do because I did that and I only ask piano students to do what I personally am willing to do myself. It’s a great challenge!

I am excited to announce that my second poetry boo

I am excited to announce that my second poetry book, "Poetry that Motivates," is officially finished!

I can't wait to share this book with everyone and can't wait to have you read these motivational poems I have written over the past few years.

The official book launch date for this book is November 24th, but right now I am giving away 1,000 PDF copies of my new book to family and friends in exchange for a review/testimonial from everyone that I can share on my website and have you share on Amazon as well.

If you would like to receive a FREE PDF review copy of my new poetry book, please visit this link and enter your email: https://www.poetrythatmotivates.com - You will receive an automatic email with the PDF download for this book and my first poetry book, "The 'As If' Principle" (motivational poetry). Between these two poetry books, there are, I believe, 375 motivational/inspirational poems I have written.

If you have any family or friends who are looking for a poetic pick-me up, please share this link with them. I'd love to have you share this post with family and friends anyway to help me spread the word about my new poetry book.

Thank you for being willing to review my new book of motivational poems.

Here is a poem from the book:

Here is one of the poems from my new book, "Poetry that Motivates":

Befriend the Failure you Fear by Jerald Simon
Copyright © 2020 by Music Motivation® All Rights Reserved

Do not fear failure.
Befriend the failure you fear.
Failure can become a dear friend if you let it.
But most fear failure, and eventually regret it.

Failure is not a folly fool,
to be avoided, and dreaded, and cursed.
It is a gift we have been given so we might improve
the performance we’ve daily rehearsed.

Each step backwards is a friendly failure,
not a foe to be beaten and bruised.
For with each failure we learn something new,
though most feel discarded and used.

Do not let failure frighten you,
face it with faith and might.
Encourage it, and learn from it,
for each failure can bring you new light.
