Wesley Schaum : Easy Keyboard Harmony, Book 4

Intermediate Level - Educational Piano Softcover

Introduction :

(Educational Piano). This 32-page method book from Schaum Publications serves as the sophisticated conclusion to the Easy Keyboard Harmony series. Designed for the Intermediate level, Book 4 provides students with advanced tools for improvisation and creative musical expression. By focusing on Major, Minor, Augmented, and Diminished triads along with 7th chords, this volume refines the student's ear and technical dexterity. Through the use of standard chord symbols and workbook-style notation exercises, pianists learn to craft professional accompaniments for familiar folk songs and hymns, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and spontaneous performance.

Product Features :

• Advanced Improvisation : Encourages professional-level creativity with simple, logical explanations.
• Harmonic Depth : Deepens understanding of 7th chords and complex triad qualities (Augmented/Diminished).
• Ear Training Labs : Focused listening exercises to distinguish subtle differences in chord color.
• Workbook Format : Includes practical writing pages to reinforce the spelling of chords and patterns.
• Accompaniment Mastery : Teaches how to build fluid accompaniments using inversions and standard symbols.

Performance Tips :

• When working with Augmented and Diminished triads, focus on the resolution; understanding how these "tension" chords move to stable Major or Minor chords is essential for intermediate improvisation.
• Experiment with voicing your 7th chords; sometimes leaving out the 5th can create a clearer, more jazz-influenced sound in your hymn arrangements.
• Tip : Use the writing pages to compose 4-bar introductions for the folk songs—this builds the habit of thinking ahead musically before you begin to play.

（鋼琴教學）。這本由 Schaum Publications 出版的 32 頁教材，是《簡易鍵盤和聲》系列的進階總結。專為 中級 (Intermediate) 水準設計，第四冊為學生提供了更深層的即興創作與音樂表達工具。透過深入探討 大、小、增、減三和弦 以及 七和弦，本冊旨在磨練學生的聽力與鍵盤靈活性。透過標準和弦符號的運用與作業簿形式的記譜練習，鋼琴手將學習如何為熟悉的民謠與聖詩編配具備專業水準的伴奏，完美連接理論知識與現場即興表演。
