This page is part of “Learning The Code.” See the front cover for copying conditions. introduction Learning to play the piano or keyboard is fun. At each lesson, your teacher will give you some songs for you to learn at home. If you want to get really good, you need to play these songs every day. At first, you might not play the pieces well. But as you play the songs some more, you’ll find that you get better and better as you play them. After a while you will play your pieces very well. Soon, you may play these songs not only for your teacher, but also for your parents and for your friends and relatives. In the future, you may play in a band. People may hear your music on the radio, or see your video on televison! You might become a concert pianist who plays very hard music in front of many people. Think about how excited you’ll be when everyone stands up and cheers for you when you finish playing! You could play the organ or piano at a church or temple. Perhaps you will become a teacher! Even if you never do any of those things, you can still have fun playing your favorite songs anytime you want. You can play for yourself or maybe for a few friends, too. Many musicians know how to read a secret code. This code tells them all about the musical sounds they should play. This code is really easy and fun to learn, but only if you take some time every day to practice using it, so let’s get started! James Legrand King III (Lee) Introduction for teachers: This method book is designed to provide a solid approach to piano study and music reading, using a “landmark” system of note-reading. It is unique in using the paradigm of music as a “secret code” throughout the book. Please inform the author/editor at jlking3@hotpop.comwith your comments, criticisms, suggestions, and praise. It is important for the editor to know what works and does not work well and how the students respond, both good and bad. Every single comment and suggestion is cherished and considered. If you obtained this book free, and would like to support further development in this method series, contact the editor at the email address given above. Book 1 is designed not only as the beginning of the Learning The Code series, but can also be used as a primer before beginning with any method book that has little or no pre-reading exercises. It may also be used as supplemental study material for students using other method books before they begin note reading on the staff. This book is released under the GNU free documentation license. Under the license, you may submit material to the editor for inclusion in later editions, or you may use the material to create your own method, provided it is also released under the GNU free documentation license. ©2003 James Legrand King III.
