Kenny finally decided to compile a text consisting of a logical, orderly
pattern of teaching people to read music at the keyboard, as well as to
understand and create new music in a structured environment, and has
found, much to his delight, that Wow, I Have Ten Fingers! really works.
After a single semester, students are reading, transposing, and spontaneously arranging simple tunes at the keyboard. Not only are they playing well, but they understand the musical theory that is necessary to play pop and jazz tunes. He finds that upon completion of the Wow, I Have Ten Fingers! eight-lesson plan, the student is able to move ahead to either basic classical pieces or jazz and pop tunes, reading written arrangements or playing lead-line charts as found in "fake books".
This type of approach offers the student a wide variety of music from
which to choose, and frees the individual to create a unique style. You may order this book by clicking on "Purchase Textbook" below. Or if you desire "Contact" Mr. Ard for more information.
