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:
- Each song includes historical information so you can explore the cultures, stories, and backgrounds of every piece.
- Translations are included as needed.
- Songs use standard chords and keys, ideal for intermediate players.
- Fingering is provided to help you play melodies with ease.
- Keyboard charts visually demonstrate how chords are constructed.
- The handy back cover defines the most commonly used chord symbols.
- The introduction gives you helpful tips for lead-sheet playing if this is your first time trying it.
- Our warm-up patterns help you get comfortable with chord playing before diving in.
- Suggested accompaniment patterns keep your playing fresh and interesting.
- Chords and melody are printed in large type for easy reading.
