Reading by interval is a musical, logical, and successful approach to music reading. Use this book to supplement a beginning method, or as a new way to help improve already existing reading skills. Each unit presents a simple approach to learning by providing experiences in each of these areas: Exploring - discover intervals on the keyboard; Writing - see how intervals are expressed in staff notation; Playing - understand how intervals correlate to the fingers of the hand; Reading - practice intervals with short reading examples; Creating - compose and improvise using intervals; Repertoire - discover how newly learned intervals appear in the repertoire. Students of any age, with or without the guidance of a teacher, will benefit from the activities in this book and the reading process it demonstrates using folk tunes, classic repertoire, and original compositions.
