The Bitesize Piano Course: Laying the Foundations for Beginners Description

The Bitesize Piano Course is for complete beginners who want to learn how to read and understand music notation using a step-by-step Bitesized approach. Whether you're self-taught or are being guided by a teacher, this method book is suitable for both. Produced by the creator of the ever-growing YouTube channel, Bitesize Piano, which has many useful video lessons, some of which are listed at the end of this book that are highly recommended to watch. The Piano pieces are also performed by the author on her YouTube channel for extra learning support. Francesca has composed many of the Piano works, as well as including/arranging existing pieces you should hopefully recognise to ensure that an eclectic range of genres are covered and explored, encouraging learners to develop into rounded musicians. The book introduces Bitesized topics in a logical order to understand the basics of notation, rhythm, time signatures, key signatures, chords, dynamics, articulation, hand/body posture, featuring technical exercises, and learning great pieces of music along the way. There is even some practising tips and handy blank manuscript at the back, to jot down your own supplementary notes. Upon completing The Bitesize Piano Course, youâll have an understanding of the basic foundations of music reading, theory and performance technique in which to build upon, having learned pieces towards the end that are around Grade 3 level. "I hope you enjoy learning from this book as much as I've enjoyed creating it, taken from my musical knowledge, education and experience as a teacher of all ages and backgrounds." - Francesca, Bitesize Piano
