A wonderful offer from Forrest Kinney
Get a free studio license of Create First or Puzzle Play
I’m interrupting a temporary break from writing PianoCreativity to tell you about a wonderful offer from Forrest Kinney Publications.
Anyone who subscribes to their newsletter can get a free studio license of a Puzzle Play or Create First book.
If you’ve read this site a while, you’ll know I’m an enormous fan of these books, especially Puzzle Play.
Anyone who took one of the Piano Creativity mentoring sessions that I offered recently will almost certainly have heard me mention one or both of these books. They’re such a great introduction to arranging and improvising, and written in such a kind, thoughtful way.
To get this deal, all you need to do is this:
Add a PDF with Studio License from the Create First! or Puzzle Play series to your cart.
Save $10, which is the cost of a Studio License, when you apply the discount code SHAREJOY at checkout.
Start sharing the book with your students!
Note: this grants you access to a studio license, which means you can share the book with your students! This is such a good deal.
While you’re there, please also sign up to the Forrest Kinney Publications newsletter. They occasionally send out brilliant offers like this, but they send emails very infrequently, so it’s well worthwhile.
While you’re at it, here’s my guide to getting started with Forrest Kinney’s books:

Which Forrest Kinney resource is right for your student? This article explains the differences between Pattern Play, Puzzle Play, and Create First and shows you which student they are best suited to.
Why haven’t you posted in a while?
Hopefully you haven’t missed me, but just in case you did; I’m taking an extended break from writing PianoCreativity to promote the release of my upcoming album Life Through Loss on September 26th and prepare for a couple of album release concerts. It’s a massive project and I’m really excited about it! Find out more here.
I’ll be back soon, and I have plans to explore the following wonderful resources:
Rote Repertoire by Samantha Coates — a resource for gently easing students into reading notation, complete with plenty of opportunity to get creative
Chord Quest by Meridee Winters — a method book that explains clearly how to use chords for pop + rock music
Graded Keyboard Musicianship from Oxford University Press — a guide to helping your students understand and create with harmony
Theory for Rock & Pop Musicians from Trinity College — a deep dive into music theory that is actually relevant for the average student (unlike some other UK theory syllabuses… *ahem*)
…and much more!
