We wanted a lead sheet series designed for educational purposes, so we included valuable tips for lead-sheet playing, fingering suggestions, and chord warm-up patterns to help prepare students to learn this skill. In this book, we have also included background information on each piece so students can learn the history behind the song. This collection would serve as an excellent teaching tool in elementary music education classes or group piano courses.
Key Features:
- Songs written in the easiest keys of C, F, and G Major (plus relative minors)
- Diagrams for chords and music symbols
- Chords and melodies printed in large type for easy reading
- A star rating system that indicates the difficulty level of chords in each song
- Translations as needed
- Background information for each song
