A great text for beginners looking to improve their skills.
New from the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library - Basic Skills Series. Scales, Patterns and Improvs provides students with a valuable resource for building technique through one octave scales, I-IV-V7 chords and arpeggios in all major and minor keys. Students apply these basic skills through improv exercises and reading pieces in every key, and by learning to transpose, create an accompaniment and play from a lead line. The accompanying Online Audio features MIDI orchestrations for all improvs and exercises. Plus, the Online Audio is enhanced so besides working in any Online Audio player, Windows and Mac computer users can also access MIDI files for each song!
