Synopsis

Our brains are wired to learn by patterns – finally, a music book that teaches that way.

Play piano without the struggle (and without reading music) using the power of chords and patterns! Do you want to accompany yourself as a singer, songwriter or performer? Have you always wanted to play an instrument but don’t know where to start? Are you a music instructor who is looking for a way to liven up lessons or teach popular music?

Meridee's Chord Crash Course series has made playing music simple, accessible and fun for beginners across the globe. (Are you shopping for a younger beginner? Meridee's Chord Quest series uses the same hit chord approach but is geared for younger learners!)

Meridee Winters is an accomplished author, educator, musician, school director and pioneer in the world of creativity and music education.Her more than 50 music books and learning resources have sold tens of thousands of copies and earned her a devoted global following of teachers, students and musicians.

Chord Crash course is the first and most popular of Meridee’s innovative books, known for its playful attitude and trailblazing “learn by pattern and shape” approach. (And it doesn’t require you to read music!) It’s this unique approach that allows learners to play famous chord progressions within their first few hours of learning and lead sheets to their favorite songs within just a few chapters. Chord Crash Course has become a hit with self-taught musicians, with music teachers looking to boost progress and with professional performers expanding their skill set. This makes sense, given the book’s recording studio origins. Meridee initially developed this method to empower recording artists who were unable to accompany themselves.

Through simple diagrams and step by-step instruction, you will learn music’s most powerful and universal patterns, including chords, arpeggios, intervals, Alberti bass, rock rhythms, pop progressions and so much more. Students can then graduate to Chord Crash Course Book 2 for higher level chord theory, including seventh chords and sus chords.

In this book you’ll learn:

• Chords and Arpeggios - the building blocks of music
• Popular chords progressions that will allow you to play your favorite songs
• How to play from a lead sheet
• Music concepts like intervals, major, minor and transposition – explained simply!

Chord Crash Course is a great standalone introduction to playing piano or supplement to any method.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

New cover, same great book!

Play piano without the struggle (and without reading music) using the power of chords! Do you want to accompany yourself as a singer, songwriter or performer? Have you always wanted to play an instrument but don’t know where to start? Are you a music instructor who is looking for a way to liven up lessons or teach popular music?

Chord Crash course is an innovative approach to music instruction that will give you the tools you need to accompany yourself, play your favorite songs and even create your own music. A professional educator and musician, Meridee Winters originally created “Chord Crash Course” while working in a recording studio. She found that many vocalists could not play piano or guitar, and thus could not fully complete a song on their own. As a solution, she developed a “chord crash course” that easily taught them the skills they needed, helping hundreds of musicians become better writers and performers along the way. Years later, she began teaching piano to children (this time applying her experience as a former school teacher), and found that her “crash course” was a great tool for students of all ages and levels. This pattern-based approach is also great for alternative learners, including those with ADHD, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and more. Her teaching method has now reached thousands of students.You'll find that this book teaches basic skills and chords in a fun, step-by-step way. Unlike traditional music books, which slowly work up to playing real songs, Chord Crash Course uses the power of patterns to have you playing great-sounding music right away.
