Clefi's Music Workbook 2
"Clefi's Music Workbook 2" is an exciting journey into the world of music, designed as the second installment in a series of three supplemental exercise workbooks to the primary workbooks of the New Music Education School series. Preeminent Czech educator Dr. Eva Šašinková crafted it for little future musicians and music enthusiasts of any age who are eager to unlock the magic of music notation and theory. Once again, this book is also filled with wonderful illustrations by Czech illustrator Kateřina Kovářová, M.A. and skillfully translated and adapted for English-speaking audiences by Dr. Roman Placzek, an accomplished Czech-American cellist, educator, composer, and publisher. This workbook deepens young musicians' understanding of note durations, pitch, and note placement on the keyboard and musical staff.
Within these pages, young future musicians will explore more about the measures, unlock the secrets of the fourth octave, and discover the note C5, all while continuing their adventure into the fifth octave. They'll also dive into the adventurous world of the under-the-staff notes in the treble clef, where they encounter notes from the third octave, enhancing their appreciation for the intricate tapestry of music notation. Furthermore, they'll engage more with the substitute musical staff, known as the hand staff, introduced in the first of the primary workbooks of the series "Clefi's Little Notebook," while opening a new door to the captivating world of ascending and descending melodies and the powerful melodic and harmonic functions of the major fifth chord.
Like the first of the three, Clefi's Music Workbook 2 is not just a series of exercises; it's a joyful musical exploration filled with fun activities and creative coloring tasks that inspire anyone to express their passion for music.
