JIM’S *NEW* PROJECT !!!
|
Group piano lessons can create ensemble performances AND provide individualized skill development with multi-level Piano Band arrangements.
Part A plays just the melody across both hands--a great way to introduce the song to the entire class. Part B has RH playing melody and LH playing a single bass note. Advancing players can move up to Part C with a “realized” lead sheet where they begin to feel like they are creating what one of my students called “REAL music!" Part D uses broken chord patterns to fill out the ensemble sound. Part E is appropriate for the teacher OR your most precocious student. The collection includes many well-known songs from movies, TV, and radio. Feel confident buying these legal arrangements which properly pay copyright holders their due. |
