Description

Alfred's Music Tech Series caters to late elementary and high school students engaged in group piano learning, requiring no prior keyboard experience. The Playing Keyboard program is specifically tailored for a keyboard lab environment, incorporating a diverse range of performance activities that facilitate the learning experience while also offering challenges for more advanced students. Developed and tested over a decade by Dr. Tom Rudolph, this method has proven effective with both middle and high school learners. The curriculum is structured into five units, each featuring progressive and supplementary activities aimed at reinforcing skills. Topics covered include left- and right-hand melodies, two-hand melodies with chords, improvisation, and variations of the 12-bar blues progression, ensuring a comprehensive approach to piano education.
