Book "spotlights" a particular concept
from the repertoire collection such as: whole
and half steps; five-finger patterns; tonic
and dominant, among others. In addition, composition
and improvisation activities are found throughout
the book. Since each piece spotlights a different
concept, students may start anywhere in the
book and study the desired pieces in any order.
Includes a Glossary of Musical Terms
for students to reference.
