Piano, Body and Soul is a new course for adult beginners developed by Juilliard-trained pianist and educator Joan Harkness and composer/soprano Anna Dembska.

Piano, Body and Soul: Learn to Play and Be the Musician You Always Wanted to Be is a seventy-two-lesson course covering the first year of piano study for adult beginners.

In a step-by-step course of lessons, Piano, Body and Soul was designed to rapidly help the adult beginner develop musicianship and piano-playing skills, teaching users how to improvise, "groove" and play classical music. The course shows users exactly how to practice so learning to play is fun instead of a chore and makes reading music seem natural.

Piano, Body and Soul offers fresh new compositions by Dembska, Harkness and Peter Dembski, as well as music by Stravinsky, Rebikov and J. C. Bach.
