Book and PowerPoint CD
52 pages
A refreshing, hands-free-approach recorder method for classroom or individual use. Included in this package is a CD of full color PowerPoint visuals containing over 100 songs and exercises, assessment grids and fingering chart. Every unit has its own PowerPoint presentation which includes additional suggestions for theory, articulation and instrumental accompaniment. The PowerPoint format keeps students focused on the music, allows time for group score analysis and is a step towards going green. There is a strong emphasis on improvisation and student-created variations and forms. Most songs are 8 to 16 measures in length with many duets included. A larger staff font is used to help children stay focused.
Sequence of pitches taught: B, A, G, low E, high C, high D, low D, F#, low C, low F and high E.
Permission is granted for the purchaser of this package to download the CD and make copies for one school.
