Keysteps by Kath Todd

Kath Todd’s all-in-one tutor book Keysteps is aimed at beginner keyboard pupils in Key Stage 2 and is also very suitable for group tuition. Under suitable teacher direction every aspect of the Programme of Study 1 (NQF entry level/pre-grade 1) of the FMS Common Approach may be covered.

There is considerable freedom to use the material in creative ways, especially in the ‘making your own music pages’. These are starting points for improvisation, which the teacher can extend to suit. The use of keyboard functions such as automatic introductions, endings, fill-ins and specific techniques such as fingering or the understanding of scales/accidentals are left to the teacher’s discretion. Although notation is introduced at an early stage with the use of cut-out flashcards, many of the tunes may be learnt by ear, possibly with the use of rhythmic flashcards and demonstrations by the teacher as well as singing through some of the well known songs.

 Price: £6.00.
