Description:
Unit 1 of Book 3 begins by introducing eighth notes in 4/4 and 2/4 time. Swing eighths are also presented in the first half of the book. Folk, jazz, classical, and contemporary selections provide students with an interesting variety of repertoire. The second half of Book 3, teaches relative and parallel major/minor five-finger patterns, and students learn to improvise their own songs using these basic patterns. The Lesson Books are also available with an instrumental accompaniment CD which includes two tracks per piece, one at a practice tempo with the piano solo and one at a performance tempo without the piano solo. Written by Barbara Kreader, Fred Kern, Mona Rejino, Phillip Keveren
