INTRODUCTION
Progressive Beginner Electronic Keyboard assumes you have no prior knowledge of music or playing the keyboard. This book will show you:
- How to play over 25 songs, across a range of two octaves.
- Major, Minor and Seventh chords.
- 12 Bar Blues and Turnaround progressions.
This book also features a chord chart section that includes over 50 different chords. After completing this book you will have a solid understanding of the keyboard and be ready for further study on specific styles of playing, for example, Rock, Blues, Country and Pop. All keyboard players should know all of the information contained in this book. The best and fastest way to learn is to use this book in conjunction with:
- Buying sheet music and song books of your favorite recording artists and learning to play their songs.
- Practicing and playing with other musicians. You will be surprised how good a basic piano/drums/bass/guitar combination can sound even when playing easy music.
- Learning by listening to your favorite recordings.
In the early stages, it is helpful to have the guidance of an experienced teacher. This will also help you keep a schedule and achieve weekly goals.
