Produktbeschreibung
Musicarta's Pyramids Variations teaches an easy hand position for playing chords at the keyboard, and progresses through an eight-stage build-up to an impressive Concert Performance. Along the way you learn the basics of music theory, while a free download of audio-visual learning support material (requires Internet access) ensures that everyone keeps up, regardless of music-reading ability. The second half of the book teaches a set of variations which explore the musical potential of the Pyramids chord sequence. Playing these variations gives the pupil hands-on experience of what the improvising musician actually does, as well as insight into the theory which underpins the improviser's creative freedom. This Pyramids Variations volume, together with the Musicarta website and the Mister Musicarta YouTube channel, offers methodical support for your creative journey. Teachers can use it as a supplement to exam-syllabus lessons, while self-directing pianists of all ages and stages will find in it a fast-track to performances beyond their expectations and a gentle, step-by-step introduction to creative keyboard work. Note that the CreateSpace/Amazon print version of the Pyramids Variations does not include the audio and MIDI files for all the examples in the workbook. These files (which ship with the digital download version) are available as an optional extra from Musicarta at a cost of $4.95.
