Classroom tested, Exploring General Music in the Keyboard Lab, by Debbie Cavalier, is the first comprehensive course designed to teach elementary and middle school students how to play keyboard in a pop/rock band while having fun and exploring the general music curriculum. The program uses keyboards to help young people play games, perform, compose and improvise music in a way that will reinforce many of the National Standards for Arts Education that are given insufficient attention in many basic curriculums.

These field-tested materials teach basic music theory, ensemble performance, improvisation, keyboard literacy, listening and analysis skills in a way. And using materials, to which young people will relate. Exploring General Music in the Keyboard Lab also provides the opportunity for individual and cooperative learning experiences that will be invaluable to the student in whatever musical direction he or she moves. The play-along CD tracks have been tested with young musicians and the style and arrangements are comparable to the successful pop hits that students are familiar with and that form the basis of their listening experiences.
