The Craft of Piano Playing: A New Approach to Piano Technique, 1st Edition
Alan Fraser’s first book on piano technique was his landmark The Craft of Piano Playing, published by Scarecrow Press in 2003. The result of over 30 year’s research, it was skeletal-based piano technique in its seminal, groundbreaking first offering.

In 2010 Maple Grove released Craft’s long-awaited sequel – Honing the Pianistic Self-Image: Skeletal-Based Piano Technique.
