  • July 02, 2007 Good Basal Course

    The course features a gradual multikey approach, with keys grouped into four categories according to the pattern of white and black keys that occur in the tonic chord. One key group is studied at each level. The course begins in the key of G, followed by C and then middle...

    C. That approach avoids the student becoming fixed in one position. Beginning in G helps to develop intervalic reading without the confusion of leger lines. The only drawback to this course is that it doesn't give the student a system for decoding unknown notes. Notes have to be drilled in each hand position and then on the staff. A lot of folk songs are used as the basis for the course. More interestng material is in the Solo book. Note: Except for the core books, the Bastien supplements should be used AFTER completing the method. Thus, level 1 supplements should be used while studying level 2, etc. The pictures are less gaudy in this series.
