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. Each book in this course is spiral bound for ease of opening, using a different coloured cover for each book. Please scroll down for a more in depth overview of the course or click on the invividual books. |
The music in this course is ideally suited for a sixty-one note
keyboard with a ‘split’ facility, but can also be used on longer
keyboards (eg. 76 or 88). The aim, is not only to teach the
chord names, but also to show how to read the Bass Stave. Eventually the student
will be able to pick up any kind of written music (for
example
piano sheet music) and be able to ‘read’ and play. Buying The Student Keyboard Player
