Piano Plain and Simple (Book & CD)

Piano Plain And Simple offers adult beginners the excitement of playing and creating music. It includes a terrific selection of traditional and original compositions, simple explanations of new concepts and theory principles, writing exercises, and lessons on improvising and composing music. Features many helpful illustrations and a glossary of terms. The included CD offers two kinds of accompaniment tracks for each piece, to meet each student's varying needs: Audio Tracks: Colourful orchestrations and solo performances in pop, classical, folk and jazz styles provide hours of play-along entertainment. Any basic CD player, as well as most computers, will play these audio tracks. Midi Tracks: Featuring Piano alone, at a slow speed, these tracks offer the valuable option of tempo adjustment. Thus, the play-along speed of each midi track may be adjusted from slower to faster, as needed.
