CPNO1603: Practical Keyboard Skills 1

This unit of study is designed to develop practical reading and playing skills for keyboard players without spending time learning difficult repertoire. The focus will be on building sight reading competence, transposition, clef reading, figured bass realisation and score reading, working on the keyboard and not from an only theoretical position.
