    Ken Johansen's teaching has provided a marvelous benefit to a great number of my piano students over the years. Harmony at the Piano is a truly valuable work which will help younger as well as the most advanced musicians to reach a higher understanding of our art.

    Benjamin Pasternack, Professor, Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University

    I think this is a superb textbook; it combines clear, practical and helpful information and directions for the students with a deep artistic sensibility-a rare combination, especially for a textbook. I appreciate how the author emphasizes the link between keyboard harmony and repertoire, and I especially like the advice for how to use this material for memorizing repertoire.
