Drift is the first piece in Cinematic Piano for Beginners, a method book I'm creating that teaches you how to play piano through expressive & atmospheric pieces written especially for beginners. I've made Drift freely available as an introduction to the method. I hope you love playing it. Feel free to get in touch with any questions, I'm always happy to help.
