Book 4 expands on the related five-finger patterns learned in Book 3 to introduce the scales of C Major, A Minor, G Major, and E Minor. Chord progressions in close position are also presented in each of these keys. Syncopated rhythms, syncopated pedaling and opposing articulations between the hands create performances with style, color, and texture.
The Audio Access package includes fully orchestrated accompaniments for each song which may be used in lieu of an accompanist during performance. These accompaniment tracks can also be used as an invaluable practice tool with Hal Leonard’s Playback+ feature. with Playback+ students can:
• Become familiar with the accompaniment and understand how the solo line fits with the piano part for more secure performances.
• Slow down or speed up the music to a tempo, for slow careful practice.
• Repeat tricky passages by setting loops around them. Audio Access can be streamed or downloaded using the unique code inside the book.
