This series is the solution for anyone looking to develop or discover their own musical creativity. Students of all ages and levels will find Pattern Play an exciting way to make music themselves, or collaboratively by playing duets, trios, or quartets. Five volumes provide an organized collection of patterns from which music can be created. By playing with these patterns, students will learn to improvise in a wide variety of styles. From the first experience, Pattern Play introduces technique in an enjoyable way, including scales, modes, intervals, and chords. It helps to build an understanding of theory, making it an ideal complement to traditional piano study. Students will not only learn to play, they'll 'play to learn'!
With Pattern Play 1, students will:
Explore world-music (African, Persian, and Irish), classical, and popular styles
Improvise on all black keys and all white keys
Improvise using major, minor, and blues scales
Create music with intervals and triads
