Sensible Piano Skills for the College Age Musician

Sensible Piano Skills for the College Age Musician was designed for aggressive one-year secondary group piano programs. Students are assumed to know how to read music (at least one clef) and how to read rhythms. The book is ideal for: Undergraduate music majors with 2-4 years previous experience, Piano minors, Graduate students fulfilling piano proficiency requirements, and Music Education majors. It is important that students get comfortable playing the piano, not just learn the functional skills. Although this text innately includes materials that reinforce theory courses, it builds other skills needed by music majors when they exit the university setting. The text supplies the much needed skills necessary for accompanying choirs, primary and secondary music students, as well as for self-fulfillment. Each unit progresses in difficulty in the following areas: 1. Repertoire 2. Ensembles 3. Harmonization 4. Technique 5. Open score reading 6. Transposition 7. Accompanying
