Electronic Keyboard Basics 2: Electronic Keyboard Book & CD

Systematic and encouraging. This book respects the learner's growing independence while providing the scaffolding that prevents frustration at the intermediate stage.

Keyboard students progressing beyond absolute basics who benefit from structured, instrument-specific instruction. The accompanying CD makes independent practice accessible even for students without a teacher present at every session.

• Familiarize yourself with the accompaniment tracks before rehearsal so students hear the full musical context they're playing into
• Pay attention to registration choices when switching between different keyboard patches; consistency matters as much on electronic keyboards as it does on acoustic pianos
• Start with tempo markings slightly slower than marked, then gradually increase as fingering patterns and hand coordination solidify

Use this as your primary method book for students in a pull-out keyboard program or private study. The included CD makes it practical for students to reinforce lessons at home without requiring a teacher to play along each time.

• Intermediate note reading across both staves
• Hand independence at the keyboard
• Coordination with electronic keyboard sound pallettes and registration
• Rhythm precision with accompaniment playback
• Finger strength and technique specific to keyboard action
