Designed for students of all ages who have had no previous experience improvising, this primer lays the foundation for composition and improvisation using the simplest possible exercises in imaginative settings. Features solo and duet improvisations, written assignments, theory review, and teacher accompaniments. An Enhanced CD of background accompaniments is included for play-along, plus standard MIDI files may be accessed with a computer. When used with your software, keyboard, or synthesizer, the MIDI files allow you to adjust tempos, isolate track playbacks, and transpose to different keys. Level 2B.
