Description:
This book is for beginners of all ages. Its comprehensive step-by-step approach, clear diagrams and illustrations, makes learning easy and enjoyable.
Written particularly for classes and groups, it is also suitable for individual students learning with a teacher or those who prefer to teach themselves.
A special feature is the wide variety of music. There are classical, traditional, Renaissance and rock tunes, plus a balance of solos, duets, trios, quartets and song accompaniments. Students will love to explore these different sounds, and in doing so, will achieve a real understanding of music and ability in a range of playing techniques.
All the main notes in the first position are learnt, and some basic chords introduced. Other areas studied include note values, key signatures, time signatures, dotted rhythms, rests, ties, arpeggios, accent and syncopation.
