Untitled[edit]

Brimhall's books have been used by piano teachers for over 50 years and he has contributed immensely to the the body of work available to beginning students of piano. His out of print book "Piano Blues" commands prices from used book sellers as high as $75 because they are considered classics. Finding information on him has proven difficult, but I intend to find more sources about him. He has made classical and popular piano music accessible to those with limited skills at an unprecedented level.

If you will allow Wikipedia to contain an article about Ray Reach, who wrote his own Wikpedia article and is a virtual unknown in the real world of music, if would be unfair to exclude Brimhall, whose books are known and loved by millions.
