Margaret Brandman's 'Contemporary Piano Method' is designed to equip the student with the necessary skills to play both Classical and Modern music with ease and understanding. The methodology incorporates a variety of progressive learning modalities, including the interval approach, harmonic understanding and multi-key performance. In this tertiary level of the method, students will expand their musical knowledge and playing skills into the realm of extended chord structures and jazz, polyphonic music from canon through to the two-part inventions of J.S.Bach, modal music and the realisation of figured bass. Applying the interval approach learned in the earlier levels of this series students learn to perform music in all clefs including C clef. The scope of the book covers the structure of music along with the topic of Root Progressions, tools for improvisation and much more. Throughout the book these tools are applied to help students successfully learn advanced pieces in a variety of styles.
