Abstract | All the general music books the author has seen teach the pentatonic scale, and achieve success with it, by having students play only on the piano's black keys. The trick to preventing this exercise from sounding simplistic or uninteresting is to teach improvisation in the A-flat Dorian mode. Using A-flat as the tonal center puts that center right in the middle of the group of three black keys. Using a minor key makes the music sound more serious to the students. Using the Dorian mode, in which the seventh scale degree is a whole step below the tonal center, makes the sound more contemporary. In this article, the author presents a technique from his concepts to improve keyboard skills in general music. (Contains 1 figure.) (ERIC). |
