piano method

on: January 09, 2005, 01:07:43 AM

Has anyone heard of Mark Ammond? He is a teacher who stresses playing creatively using chord theory rather than mechanically reading music. Does anyone do it like this?

Thanks

I've never heard of him, but there are several guys out there teaching this method of playing:

David Sudnow, the Sudnow method

This is the one I'm using. You can read a review of it here:
