The Student Keyboard Player;

The Tutor Book That Stays Open

A comprehensive course, easy to understand, giving a good basic knowledge of the fundamentals of music, that includes all relevant theory. 

 

This course has been carefully written with both student and teacher in mind.

 

Each new step is explained as it occurs, not explaining too much at any one time. Hints for ease of playing and suggested registrations have been added to many pieces of music. I have given special emphasis to the reading of the Bass clef, thus enabling the student eventually to pick up any kind of music, i.e. piano/sheet music and be able to ‘read’ and play as written.

 

Careful attention has been given to the fingering to enable ease of playing.

 

The course includes Traditional, Light Classical and some of my own compositions. The music will never date. Many of the pieces are familiar to young and old alike.

 

Scales are included at the introduction of each new Key Signature. Along with a special piece of music written for the new key. 

 

Various styles of playing are introduced through the course, Waltz, Latin, Country, Blues etc. Keyboard registrations are included in each book.

It can be used either by those who are attending individual / group tuition classes, or by those who prefer to teach themselves to play.

Each book in this course is spiral bound for ease of opening, using a different coloured cover for each book.

 

Book One introduces just four chords. By the end of the book the student can discern the chord to be played by sight. Book Two introduces a ‘Match the Chord’ system. This gives a written example at the top of each page of all chords used in that particular piece of music. This system is included throughout the rest of the course.
