Early Intermediate
There are nine units in this book, starting
with the basic blues scale in C, then moving
to the keys of D, G, A, and E. Each unit has
four parts: a blues scale; an illustrative
short original piece; a “riff improv”
where students can combine riffs in any order;
and finally, a free improv that allows students
to use riffs already learned as well as improvise
new ones. This step-by-step approach ensures
progress, always building on previously learned
skills. Includes a CD, and MIDI files are
available as free downloads below.

The lyrics in this waltz in Middle C Position
express the beauty and freedom of winter skating
on a pond. An easy teacher accompaniment enhances

The story in this charming piece tells of
a little outdoor fireplace that is happy when
cooking tortillas. In the key of G with predominantly
hands-separate playing, rests and sharp signs
are used. Cute lyrics and perky teacher accompaniment
make this a recital favorite! |
