The Musicarta Canon Project: Learn to improvise on a chord sequence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780620532464)

Pachelbel's Canon in D major is an ideal vehicle for learning how to play a chord sequence. The Canon's simple chords repeat under right hand melodic figures - perfect for learning about harmony and arranging, melody writing and improvisation. Each module in the Musicarta Canon Project adds a 'bite-sized' piece to your own unique performance, showing you what to play and how to practice it. Much-loved and versatile, the Canon chord sequence forms the basis of numerous pieces of popular music, and you will be able to apply the keyboard and aural skills and theory learnt here to many other chord sequences going forward. Also available as a digital home-study download from www.musicarta.com with accompanying audio and MIDI files, the Amazon/CreateSpace print only version is for moderate-to-good readers. The workbook audio/MIDI files are however available as an optional additional download via the www.musicarta.com website. Great for ambitious young keyboard players, classical cross-overs and adult piano re-starters/continuers, the Musicarta Canon Project is also perfect continuing education for semi-pro and pro musicians and an ideal supplement to traditional piano lessons.
