Download or read book "Pop" Piano Course, Book 1 written by John W. Schaum and published by Alfred Music. This book was released on with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic object of Popular-Piano Study is to convert vocal music into piano-solo style. It is a fascinating study that motivates keyboard harmony and develops creativeness. The POP course focuses on harmonizing melodies and suggesting ways of embellishing and varying songs. In designing the course, no attempt has been made to explain all the rudiments of music. It is expected that the pupil will derive this from a parallel standard beginner's book such as the SCHAUM ADULT COURSE BOOK I. Also, the reading elemment is expected to be gained from an outside source, such as the SCHAUM NOTE SPELLER.
