Books with author Nick Haines

This is the first of two books which introduce practical music making to pupils of all abilities who want to play the electronic keyboard. They demonstrate in easy stages the keyboard functions and introduce basic music theory at the same time, so that pupils can play the pieces of music provided at the end of each unit. Additional pieces to play are included at the end of Book 2. No previous musical knowledge is needed as the absolute beginner is given an easy step-by-step guide to playing music, resulting in sophisticated sounds in varied styles, from classical to pop.

Composing at the Electronic Keyboard Books 1 and 2 provide students with an enjoyable way of using the electronic keyboard to learn basic composing skills. Book 2 has been specially written and designed for students needing practice for the composing element of the GCSE examination. Working through the book, students will develop compositional skills which they will enjoy using to create their own pieces of music. The introduction and Glossary provide useful reference sections.

This is the first of two books which contain over 60 fun pieces to play on the electronic keyboard. They have been specially written and/or arranged by an experienced music teacher and provide a graded progression through a varied collection of pieces. Pupils' musical repertoires will grow as they learn and practice many different styles, rhythms and moods - from 16th century melodies to today's rock and pop tunes. All songs are arranged for the treble clef with chord symbols and some pieces also have bass clef notation. Several duets for group work are also included. Tunes for Electronic Keyboard is designed for use in the first three years of secondary school and is suitable for beginners and intermediate pupils.
