Northern Lights Primer 1

Table of Contents

This collection begins with Middle C and C position reading, expanding to neighbouring positions and extensions including Signpost C reading and playing. To accommodate placing letter names within the notes, the pieces on pages 10 - 17 have notes which have been slightly enlarged. Students are encouraged to experiment with tempi to capture the various moods and styles within this collection. Children begin piano lessons much earlier today and participate in Northern Lights Canadian National Conservatory of Music Music for Everyone Programs and Composers and Kids. There is now a need for Northern Lights Primers of Canadian repertoire to bridge the gap between the Pre-Reader and Preparatory books.
