Guitar Center Lessons Keyboard Curriculum Book 1 (Book/Online Audio)

Guitar Center Lessons Keyboard Curriculum Book 1 is the first in a series of interactive keyboard instruction books. Designed for beginners, this comprehensive course teaches essential music theory, technique and reading skills keyboard players need to know. The lessons start from the very beginning, covering the treble and bass clefs, rhythms, scales and note values. Playback+, an innovative multi-functional audio player, is included to help students learn at their own pace by changing tempo, pitch and looping sections.

Master Music Fundamentals at Your Own Speed

With interactive lessons and audio tracks, students can go step-by-step through learning the keyboard. The curriculum covers everything from proper hand position and fingerings to reading sheet music and understanding intervals. Playback+ technology allows learners to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points to repeat sections and change keys for easier learning.

Scales, rhythms and sight-reading form the foundation of the Guitar Center Lessons Keyboard Curriculum.
