Graded Keyboard Musicianship provides graded and integrated exercises for developing five core skills at the keyboard: figured bass, score-reading, transposition, harmonization, and improvisation. Organized into two books, it develops these skills from an elementary level, providing support for practical and theoretical music exams, and for teaching harmony. Book 1 assumes keyboard ability of Grade 1 ABRSM standard and covers up to Grade 5, while Book 2 covers Grades 6 to 8. The bite-size approach, catering for pianists and organists, uses practical worksheets of exercises alongside supplementary text.
This text addresses the need for a structured, integrated pedagogical approach to developing essential keyboard musicianship skills. Authors Anne Marsden Thomas and Frederick Stocken provide a systematic framework designed to bridge the gap between technical performance and theoretical understanding, specifically targeting the requirements of practical music examinations.
