This is the ideal guide for those who wish to get to grips with music to a greater depth, to learn to play faster, more complicated scores, to compose and arrange music – the possibilities are endless. This guide provides everything you need to know, explaining pitch, the treble clef, the bass clef, rhythm, accidentals, key signatures, scales and chords, along with a compendium of additional information. Then practise what you have learnt with the ‘Play Along’ sections containing simple, well-known examples of music, from ‘Scarborough Fair’ to ‘Jerusalem’. With helpful diagrams, clear accessible text and a practical ringbound format.
