Hi all,

Does anybody know of any good piano technique books, which cover the very basics onwards, as even though i have reached grade 8 my technique is still very bad, due to not being taught it throughout my learning.

Thanks in advance

Dozens and dozens. For starters, and in the order I'd recommend them:

Improve Your Piano Playing. John Meffen
Principles of Piano Technique and Interpretation. Kendall Taylor
The Art of Piano Playing. Heinrich Neuhauss
Piano Playing with Piano Questions Answered. Josef Hoffman
On Piano Playing. Gyorgy Sandor

edit ... almost forgot ... Basic Principles in Pianoforte Playing. Josef Lhevinne. A tiny little book - but inspirational.
