Creative Keys: Unlock the Fun of Chords & Scales Without Reading Music!

This 30-page fun guide called Creative Keys: Unlock the Fun of Chords & Scales Without Reading Music will teach you how to play all the scales and chords in all major keys! Even though it was specifically written for elementary students, it can obviously be used for all ages! I highly recommend this guide for ALL students who are musicians. No matter what instrument you play or if you’re a singer, understanding the concepts in Creative Keys will help you be a better musician overall.

I’ve always told my students who are singers that to become the best singer you can, you need to take piano lessons! If you can’t take piano lessons, going through Creative Keys is the next best thing.

Through photographs of the piano keys, you’ll learn how to play all 7 major scales (5-note/pentascale and 8-note/octave scale), as well as the chromatic scale, with right and left hands and with correct fingering. Then, you’ll learn to play the I, IV, and V7 chords for each major key (just one inversion for each chord).

You’ll also be encouraged to sing solfege syllables (Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do) with everything you play on the piano with Creative Keys!

Musical Instrument Notebooking Pages

This next product is from yours truly here at Music in Our Homeschool. Studying any instrument, from anywhere in the world? You’ll probably find it here in the Musical Instrument Notebooking Pages set!

Each of the 227 pages has one instrument. The left side is a black-and-white drawing so the child can color it if they choose. The right side has lines to write the name, description, famous players, where it’s from, what style(s) of music it plays, what instrument family it’s a part of, or famous pieces played with it!

The versatility of these notebooking pages makes them perfect for all ages and almost all music classes!

Chinese Erhu
