Publisher Description:

Margaret Brandman's 'Contemporary Piano Method' Book 1A is designed to equip the student with the necessary skills to play both Classical and Modern music with ease and understanding. The methodology is multi-sensory: aural, visual and tactile.
The course incorporates a variety of progressive learning modalities which speed up the learning process namely the simplified interval approach, colour-coding and multi-key learning using pictorial patterns to facilitate scale and key understanding. In this book these modalities are implemented in order to simplify the learning of music in five major keys C, G, D, A and E.
