Description

Contemporary Piano Method Book 1A

BOOK 1A: keys - C, G, D, A, E.

STAGE 1: Interval Reading in the five-finger hand-position
- including such aspects as:

reading without looking at the hands
playing by feel
developing the ear by having to listen for the intervals for correction
transposition

STAGE 2: Introduction of Scales

for hand-position changes
to learn scale pathways on the keyboard
to learn key signatures and the cycle of fifths
to find chords in root position.

STAGE 3:
Extension of the five-finger position using the larger intervals: sixths, sevenths and octaves.

STAGE 4:
(a) Chords in Inversions, Block and Broken forms.
(b) Primary Chords in Major Keys and the Chord Table
- how to find chords on the written music
- Chordal analysis of each piece
- 12-Bar Blues

STAGE 5: Playing in all major keys via scale pathways and interval reading

using the key signature in the original sense of the word, as a 'key' to unlock the puzzle
more hand-position changes along pre-learned scale pathways
Chromatic scale.

(N.B. During the entire course there is a progressive introduction of musical signs, touch markings, etc. plus the pieces give experience in reading in many time-signatures and all styles of music.)
