Bradley Sowash writes, “Eye players read music. Ear players improvise. Both skills are essential or playing today’s music. Creative Chords balances the eye and ear so you can enjoy a lifetime of creative music-making in a variety of keyboard styles.” Student who have mastered late-elementary level keyboard skills and who know basic theory concepts learn to play well-known melodies by ear, improvise embellishments and variations, add chords and accompaniment styles, and create full-sounding arrangements based on their tastes and preferences. Teachers, even those with a limited background in improvisation, will find this series approachable and fun! The Kjos Interactive Practice Studio (IPS) technology provides access to orchestrated accompaniments (“backing tracks”), select video lessons with the author, additional detailed information/downloads, and more!
