Innkeeper: Easy Steps 1 - Whistle

The successful Easy Steps method was developed from the demand for a method with a more gradual progression. There were many methods on the market where the steps followed each other too quickly. The result is a unique, practical method for use in music lessons, with plenty of room for personal interpretation. New editions of the books from this successful series have now been released. Besides being given a new look, they are now even better adapted to the young user and group lessons. The CDs and CD-ROMs accompanying the books have been updated to modern times, and the corresponding piano parts are now directly included on the CD-ROM.

The method

Easy Steps is a complete two-part method that contains all the ingredients for a successful education of the budding musician. The method is richly illustrated and contains - in addition to the necessary practice and playing material - musical games, ensemble exercises, ear training, and much more. The accompaniment (with or without example) is included for all pieces.

The books

The books form the basis. Everything is covered here. New notes and rhythms are taught, with instructions on how to play them, and various musical concepts are discussed. Especially at the beginning, the steps are very small: gradual progression is the motto. This gives the student the opportunity to process the acquired skills thoroughly - by means of understandable explanations, exercises, games, and medleys of well-known songs. The clear layout and organized design ensure extra clarity.

The CDs

The accompanying audio CDs contain the accompaniments for all exercises and playing pieces. These are often played once as an example. The tempos of the music are slow, so playing along is quite quick.

The DVD/CD-ROM

With the Easy Steps books, a DVD (part 1) or CD-ROM (part 2) is now included in addition to the CDs. This significantly increases the possibilities of use. The DVD (or ROM) contains an instruction video demonstrating the first principles of playing the instrument. This video can be played on a regular DVD player, but also on a computer.

With the help of a computer, piano parts of the medleys can be printed. A separate piano book is therefore not necessary. In addition, there are trios (part 1: eight pieces, part 2: twelve pieces), for which both the score and the individual parts can be printed. Indispensable for group lessons!

All accompaniment tracks are included as MP3s on the DVD-ROM. This makes it very easy to find the right track for the right song. The MP3 files can be transferred to an MP3 player. This makes playing along possible anywhere.
