It starts from absolutely zero knowledge of music and piano. The book is used during the first 3 to 4 months of self-study or teacher-guided study.<br \/>The book is suitable for ages 12 and up but it is aimed primarily at the adult and senior beginner. This is reflected in the layout and no-frills didactic strategy. You can preview the book via the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1oN45qo3ksZZtNINC6UQR_2Eu_7nfJZSf\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sample pages<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/notus.world\/en\/shop-free-download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free download of the first 37 pages.<\/a><br \/>It is also required reading for people who have already experimented with the complex conventional music notation and have lots of doubts about this conventional music notation.<strong><br \/><\/strong>The focus in the NOTUS PIANO FOUNDATION Textbook is on learning how to read ALL the notes of the piano keyboard and play ALL the corresponding piano keys. This is done through 134 exercises and short pieces for beginners. NOTUS piano courses are characterized by their smooth and steady evolution. By the end of the first 3 to 4 months, you\u2019ll be playing pieces that are at least two years ahead of the pieces typically learned by the four-month mark using conventional notation.<br \/>Whereas, in conventional courses, piano practice during the entire first year is limited to the middle of the piano (approximately 21 white piano keys), NOTUS learners start familiarizing themselves with the entire piano keyboard from the very first lesson. By the end of the NOTUS PIANO FOUNDATION Textbook \u2013 that is, after 3 to 4 months \u2013 NOTUS learners have control of the entire 88-key piano keyboard and, as such, ALL the notes of this entire keyboard. This makes a significant difference compared with conventional piano lessons, and this in turn has a positive follow-on effect on subsequent study. The NOTUS PIANO FOUNDATION Textbook is an extremely solid music foundation on which to build further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Goal<\/strong><br \/>The specific focus of the NOTUS PIANO FOUNDATION Textbook is for the learner to master the reading of the pitch of all the notes so that this does not form an obstacle to subsequent study, i.e. PIANO TEXTBook 1 and onwards. Indeed, being able to read all the notes is highly encouraging as one progresses toward new pieces and musical knowledge, not to mention improved piano technique. By removing the stumbling block of reading music (a typical pitfall of conventional notation), the NOTUS learner makes very smooth progress, without added performance stress. With NOTUS, the introductory phase of training offers, in other words, precisely what piano training should: the relaxed enjoyment of lessons, progress and playing, coupled with the appreciation of the value of specific exercises. The NOTUS approach to teaching focuses on stress-free, natural mastery of music notation and piano, not on being able to play a few memorized pieces, as is so often the case in conventional courses targeting young people and adults alike.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Ta_ioel6ZcYcNmdSjxaOKSjZuzMV5dpv\/view?usp=sharing\"><span style=\"color: #db256b;\"><strong>VIEW A SELECTION OF PAGES HERE (including contents and index)<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Music theory and Composers&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Assistant||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; tab_font=&#8221;Assistant||||||||&#8221; tab_text_color=&#8221;#DB256B&#8221; tab_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrated Music theory:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 octave group, octave group number, octave segment;<br \/>\u2022 tones and notes C, Cs\/Df, D, Ds\/Ef, E, F, Fs\/Gf, G, Gs\/Af, A, As\/Bf, B;<br \/>\u2022 double or half note value relationship, till 1\/8 note and rest, beam;<br \/>\u2022 time value rest sign;<br \/>\u2022 dotted whole, half and quarter note;<br \/>\u2022 finger numbers and theit use and interpretation;<br \/>\u2022 tempo and metronome, metronome value;<br \/>\u2022 the concepts beat, pulse, accent, measure, measure line;<br \/>\u2022 the time signatures four-four, three-four and two-four, and main accent and weak accent;<br \/>\u2022 tie;<br \/>\u2022 slur and phrase mark;<br \/>\u2022 basic dynamics with abbreviations and NOTUS restyled wedges;<br \/>\u2022 basic concepts of intervals: melodic, harmonic, ascending, descending, prime, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, octave and their visual relationship through notes on the staff and between the piano keys;<br \/>\u2022 some basic information about chords: consonant, dissonant, tertian triad, tonic, broken chord and of naming chords;<br \/>\u2022 NOTUS signs for immediate repeat, repeat of a whole measure, repeat of a rhythmic unit;<br \/>\u2022 fermata;<br \/>\u2022 staccato sign, marcato sign and accent sign;<br \/>\u2022 notation by hand of NOTUS;<br \/>\u2022 chromatic and diatonic division of the octave;;<br \/>\u2022 FLAT- and SHARPnotehead;<br \/>\u2022 the concept \u2018enharmonic\u2019;<br \/>\u2022 ostinato;<br \/>\u2022 informative: damper pedal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Composers in PIANO FOUNDATION TEXTbook:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bar\u00f3k, Gurlitt, R\u00f6venstrunck, Kirby-Mason, Sartorio, Burgm\u00fcller, Wilton, Hook, Baumfelder, Beethoven, K\u00f6hler, Stravinsky, Strauss, Oesten.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=&#8221;Publication details&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Assistant||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; tab_font=&#8221;Assistant||||||||&#8221; tab_text_color=&#8221;#DB256B&#8221; tab_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Version: HARDCOPY &#8211; PRINT<br \/><\/strong>&#8211; size: 20 x 29 cm<br \/>\u2013 number of pages: 106<br \/>\u2013 metal copper wire-o-binding<br \/>\u2013 weight: 460 gr. + packaging 140 gr = 600 gr.<br \/>\u2013 cover : 4-color printing<br \/>\u2013 interior: 4-color printing<\/p>\n<p><strong>Version: PDF-READ-and-PRINT<br \/><\/strong>This PDF version can be printed on A4 paper size.
