A.D.G. Productions was formed, by its owner Andrew Gordon, in 1990
when he created his first book "Outstanding Blues and Jazz
Compositions Intermediate/Advanced Level' for Piano. Mr. Gordon, who had
been successfully teaching piano and keyboards since1974, decided it was
time to write this book and use it with his students. By adding an audio
cassette that had each of the songs recorded, both at a normal and a
slowed down tempo, the students could go home and practice the pieces
along with the tape. This proved a successful practice method for his
students and so Mr. Gordon started contacting music stores in the local
Los Angeles area to see if they would stock this book. Slowly but surely
as more stores ordered the book, Mr. Gordon decided to write a second
book and then a third.
Mr. Gordon then hired his long standing partner, Ron Ray, to act as
sales director to sell the books to music stores throughout the USA. The
business expanded quickly as more and more music stores throughout the
country ordered the books. By advertising in "Keyboard"
magazine, A.D.G. Productions has built up a loyal following of
pianists/keyboard players eager to learn from the books that Andrew
Gordon produces.
The future holds great promise for A.D.G. Productions as the products
they produce become more widely accepted as first class instructional
tools for the music student. As new musical styles are created or older
musical styles become popular, A.D.G. Productions would like to be able
to integrate these styles into music instructional products.
