This Melodica or Pianola course is designed to accompany the self-taught person and those who have a musical tutor. We have adopted a piano technique to develop the potential of both hands in melodies, chords and accompaniments in different musical styles. For ease you will develop reading only of the treble clef.
In the initial lessons you will develop musical reading of melodies, reading of chord codes for musical accompaniment, and also studies of scales for agility in your interpretation; you will find basic and intermediate theory. In the repertoire part you can find well-known songs that we have adapted to the melodica so that you can play it with the original audio version. You will learn to make musical arrangements of melodies following the cipher with different accompaniments, and you can study different Latin American styles, marching and Blues styles to create your own songs.
