Sonorous No 1

SONOROUS No. 1 emphasizes the technical aspects of the first encounter of the young student with the piano. The first seven pieces are written with the primary elements: basic rhythm, coordination of fingers with their numbering response and hands alternation, over black keys. All these based on the principle in which rhythm is the foundation of music understanding; but always with interesting melodies and sophisticated harmonic implications. The next set of pieces includes more elements of music notation such as melodic contour, pitch direction and simple hand coordination, while reading in the staff around the middle C and on C position. Tempo marks, dynamics and accidentals are only used in the second half of the book after solidifying the basic elements. With the teacher's guidance and advice, the student will keep focus on the performance aspects and will build confidence about the new concepts understanding them through their practical use while listening to his/her musical achievements. Theory is not the main aspect in this book; it is not a method. Instead, "music making" is the primary goal acknowledging the capabilities of children in our current high-tech-digital modern era in which the young minds ?absorb? at an incredible pace. Friendly technical material (scales and exercises) can be found as bonus at the end of the book.
