Summary of This Method
Book 1 Starting To Play lays a solid foundation for starting the keyboard with method and enjoyment. The progression gradually covers the organization of the keyboard, reading notes (pitch) and rhythms (values), to quickly gain autonomy. Throughout the pages, the student discovers essential elements of musical language such as ties, accidentals, and key signatures, indispensable for understanding and interpreting a varied repertoire.
The strength of this method lies in the choice of pieces: each is designed as a learning tool, focusing on a precise concept to work on, without ever sacrificing the musical aspect. It includes famous titles like Fur Elise and Swan Lake, as well as pieces by the author Carol Barratt, ideal for developing sight-reading, rhythmic regularity, and coordination of both hands. An excellent starting point for effective learning, whether playing on an electronic keyboard or piano.
