Chapter 1: Introduction & Overview 5
Overview
CopyMe is an exciting new teaching concept for Band-in-a-Box. Here’s how it
works: your piano teacher, Miles Black, plays a 2-bar piano phrase along with a
Band-in-a-Box accompaniment. That 2-bar piano phrase is then followed by 2
bars of the same Band-in-a-Box accompaniment with the piano part silent. This is
where you come in… just copy what Miles has played. Once the lesson is
complete, Miles explains and plays the next concept, followed again by your turn
to play. With the in sync audio track you will hear Miles explain and encourage
you as each lesson progresses. And since it’s a Band-in-a-Box add-on the
notation will be prominently displayed, the lessons can be looped, the tempo can
be adjusted to suit your ability—you can even change the key signature to learn
each lesson in all 12 keys! What could be better than having your own “on-call”
music teacher to explain and demonstrate the lessons.
In Volume 1, the lessons range from very basic harmony to 2-handed
accompaniment. CopyMe – Piano Volume 1 – Basics, Harmony and Comping
is a great place to start learning about harmony and how to play the piano.
There are currently 3 levels in the program.
Level 1 - Harmony 1 - Contains 50 Lessons
Level 2 - Harmony 2 - Contains 84 Lessons
Level 3 - Jazz it Up - Contains 50 Lessons
