Simple Steps to Playing the Piano

Resource Type

Book

Description

Versatile. Easy-to-use. Comprehensive. This highly successful, classroom-tested program for beginning piano students is designed for the college music major and the general adult beginner. It develops reading, harmonizing, and coordination abilities at a rapid pace. The text contains sufficient theory, but this is not the focus. Rather, the information presented has been refined to include only the essentials for the development of critical reading and playing skills in a short amount of time. There is an abundance of attractive pieces in a variety of musical styles giving students ample room for exploration. Early sections provide a semi-rote experience to develop quickly facility and familiarity with the keyboard. A later section teaches the Five Finger Position to help gain transposition skills and help the hands become familiar with the various patterns of the keyboard.
