Description:
Book 2 continues with more difficult major and minor folk songs in duple and triple meters.
Students learn to play melody and accompaniment hands together. They also learn how to transpose and change tonality and meter.
Tonic and dominant accompaniments are in different styles to serve as model accompaniments. Students may learn these accompaniments or play a single-tone tonic/dominant accompaniment.
For many students a single-tone tonic/dominant accompaniment is learned most easily and efficiently. Single tone root accompaniments foster audiation of chord changes.
Improvisation activities are included in weekly lessons and assignments.
Pattern instruction includes duple and triple meter division and elongation rhythm patterns and major and minor tonic and subdominant tonal patterns.
Tonic and dominant arpeggios are introduced in C Major, A Minor, G Major, E Minor, F Major and D Minor. Students learn to play in E Major and C-sharp Minor.
The online audio files include performances of the music, rhythm and tonal patterns for students to echo, and songs to sing.
