Keyed Up Blue Book - Student Edition

Keyed Up Blue Book - Student Edition

Notes covered in the BLUE BOOK are C, D, E, F and G, with a new chapter incorporating each one.

Note values encompass crotchets, minims and semibreves, including rests and some simple syncopation; time signatures are in simple time in crotchet or minim beats.

In each chapter opportunities will be found for pupils to improvise to backings provided by the CD or the teacher; and to improve their grasp of notation by writing down their compositions.

There are also simple 'warm-up' exercises dealing with technique.

 

By the end of the book they will have encountered the left hand chords of C, G, F, Am and Dm, along with advice on how to improvise freely at home.
