Synopsis

LEARN TO PLAY KEYBOARD and how to read music fluently

This is a great starter book for aspiring piano and keyboard players of all ages - all topics presented in fun and easy steps!

There are many types of musician, but all can be put into one of two main groups:

• those who can read music
• those who cannot read music

If you want to learn how to play the keyboard and at the same time, learn how to read music then this book is for you. Reading music is difficult - don’t believe anyone who claims that it isn’t. It requires knowledge but even more than that it is a practical skill. Many people can look at a single note and find it on the keyboard, but the skill of co-ordinating your fingers and mind so that you can read a complex selection of notes on a page and produce music on an instrument is another level entirely.

The aim of this book is to give you the skills you need to read music fluently so that you can move onto playing music you love

How does it work?

• Easy to follow with new skills introduced one step at a time and lots of repetition.
• Simple arrangements of well know tunes, so you know what the tunes should sound like before you play them.
• Also includes new original tunes in a variety of styles.
• Written by a piano and keyboard teacher with over 20 years experience of working with young and adult students - all ideas have been thoroughly tested on real learners.
• Just the correct balance between new material and repetition so that students retain what they learn.
