The primary purpose of part four is to allow the pupil to develop efficiency and fluency in the application of knowledge gained in the earlier books. Several new keys are introduced, ledger lines are presented, the dotted crotchet is explained, and simple use of the pedal.
The accompanying CD is a wonderful tool for enhancing this method with highly acclaimed midi-orchestrated backing tracks. Practice becomes so much fun!
Each track is split to enable the pupil to hear both Piano part and accompaniment if the balance is centred, the accompaniment without the Piano is the balance control is all the way to the left, and the Piano part alone if it is all the way to the right!
An ideal accompaniment to practice.
