Eine Anleitung für Klavier, Keyboard oder Synthesizer. Par MERKIES MICHAEL. Für Tasteninstrumente gibt es sehr viele Kompositionen und nicht immer ist das Klavier oder Keyboard dabei das Soloinstrument. Gerade in modernen Stilarten wie Jazz oder Klassik ist das Tasteninstrument oft reines Begleitinstrument. Anders als in der klassischen Klaviermusik werden in diesen Stilen die Akkordfolgen meist nicht ausnotiert, sondern in Akkordsymbolen über dem Liniensystem angegeben. In dieser Anleitung für Klavier, Keyboard oder Synthesizer lernt der Tastenspieler, wie solche Akkordsymbole gedeutet werden und wie man mit ihrer Hilfe schöne, rhythmisch interessante Begleitungen spielen kann. Zu Akkorden spielen ebnet den Weg, einmal in einerJazz-Combo, Big Band oder Popgruppe mitmachen zu können. Jedes Heft enthält eine CD, auf der alle Akkordfolgen und Hörübungen eingespielt sind. Außerdem liegen dem 1. Teil Combo-Stimmen für das Ensemblespiel bei. Eine Methode aus der Praxis für die Praxis! / Niveau : Facile / Etudes et exercices / Etude / Piano ou Clavier
