Kjos Music Creative Chords (Keyboard Improvisation Method) Book 1 - Sowash - Piano

Your Guide to Creative Music-Making At the Piano

Author: Bradley Sowash
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Piano

This is the first book of a unique series designed for learning and teaching keyboard improvisation. Students who have mastered late-elementary level keyboard skills and who know basic theory concepts learn to play well-known melodies by ear, improvise embellishments and variations, add chords and accompaniment styles, and create full-sounding arrangements based on their tastes and preferences.

To be studied either along side with traditional materials, or as a new direction of study, this series balances the ear and the eye for playing todays music. Teachers, even those with a limited background in improvisation, will find this series approachable and fun! The Kjos Interactive Practice Studio (IPS) technology provides access to orchestrated accompaniments ("backing tracks"), select video lessons with the author, additional detailed information/downloads, and more!
