Keyboard Essentials is aimed at all who want to learn to play keyboards successfully in methodically thought-out teaching units with the aid of popular songs and useful tips, through tutoring or private study. It is aimed at beginners of all ages but also, for example, wind players, singers or guitarists who want to become musical 'insiders' and who through playing the keyboard see an introduction to improvisation, composition, harmony, etc. On the keyboard in particular, with its clearly arranged, regular structure of keys, scales, chords, and harmonic relations are presented more clearly and systematically than on any other instrument. Musicians with previous knowledge may join in at volume 2 or 3.
