Piano method for chord accompaniment on piano and keyboard
If you want to learn accompaniment on piano, keyboard or synthesizer, you will quickly come across chord symbols above the staff. de Haske Spelen met akkoorden deel 1 teaches you to work with them in a practical way, using chord charts that help you build rhythmically engaging accompaniment in styles where keys often support rather than take the solo role.
Written by Michiel Merkies, this method comes directly from practical teaching experience. That also makes this piano book useful for players who want to do more than read single notes and learn how to use chords effectively in ensemble playing.
Content and structure of de Haske Spelen met akkoorden deel 1
This Dutch-language edition has 44 pages and an easy difficulty level. Part 1 includes three ready-to-play ensemble pieces arranged for different instrumentations, so you can apply what you learn straight away in music-making.

That makes this method suitable for lessons and for anyone who wants to work on chord playing at home on piano or keyboard. If you want personal advice on keyboard teaching material, Magna Music can help with staff who are musicians themselves.
