Keyboard World is a beginner method for keyboard that is especially suitable for older children or teenagers who are learning the keyboard and can be used with or without a teacher, for individual lessons or for group lessons. The different ways of using the keyboard are introduced: playing with or without the automatic accompaniment, reading notes and chord symbols, but also playing by ear, as well as composing and improvising. Each lesson begins with an overview of the new material which will follow. After a rhythm or aural exercise, a piece without automatic accompaniment follows (in other words, you are playing in the style of a piano) for which you will need to read notes forboth hands. These pieces can be played along with the enclosed CD. On the right-hand page, you will find pieces for playing with an automatic accompaniment - here you will need to read notes for the right hand, and read chord symbols for the left hand.At the end of each lesson, there’s an assignment: e.g. note riddles, theory questions, composition tasks or musical games. The first six lessons differ slightly from this pattern, because at the beginning a bit more time is needed to explain the details.

• A simplified version: with the melody in the right hand and an easy accompanying line in the left hand (for beginners)

• a version for solo piano for use with the piano or keyboard (medium difficulty)

• VOICE: It is possible to use the version contained in the CD for singing the pieces. The texts are found in the sheets inserted at the end of the volume and themelodies are given in the keyboard parts (right hand)
• GUITAR: All the guitar boxes for the chords are given in the single sheets inserted at the end of the volume. The sheet for each piece contains, besides the guitar chords, the text and a table with the melodic line (right hand) of the keyboard versions.
• OTHER INSTRUMENTS: It is also possible to play the melody parts or to improvise with other instruments such as flute, violin, etc. It should be noted that for instruments such as the clarinet or the saxophone the melodies will have to be transposed. A bass can be added to the group, playing from the pedal part of the organ versions.
