This innovative, remarkable series combines the latest research in music learning with the belief that a musical instrument is an extension of the human mind and body. The result: an engaging method that has students playing musically, right from the start. Jump Right In advocates "sound before sight" for one simple reason: players become more musical if they know what sounds to expect before they play them. After all, how expressive and accurate would you be reading a passage of text in a language you didn't understand? Jump Right In encourages beginning musicians to learn many tunes by ear right from the start, and not just those tunes that are a part of the series. This practice builds a student's musical vocabulary and serves as the perfect readiness for all musicianship. Music reading typically begins no sooner than three months into the series-and when reading begins, it is with true meaning.
