Welcome!
This guide's purposes are to: help you learn more about keyboard musicianship while using piano repertoire for music courses / music written for the keyboard, or information about the piano, pianists, or piano music; help you save time and energy; and successfully complete your assignments.
Each discipline or field of study has different values about types of information and procedures for research, so the resources here will be different from those you might have used in other courses in fields like Writing or Biology.
