Deep Dive: Abracadabra

Hi everyone,

In todays post I'm going to be talking about the Abracadabra Tutor Book, which is available for a variety of different instruments.

The Abracadabra book is a great for starting out, if you fancy learning by using small pieces of music. There's also a separate Abracadabra Technique book to help you to develop your instrument techniques in an approachable manner.

Format

Throughout this method, it gradually introduces more notes for you to learn alongside short pieces of music for you to learn so then you can get used to playing those notes and what they sound like.

With the introduction of each new note that is introduced there is a finger chart to show you where to place your fingers on the instrument to get the corresponding note to sound.

Along with the introduction of learning and developing new notes, and pieces; you also get music theory included in small bursts explaining notes and their time values, time signatures and their time values, the stave, musical terms and what they mean, and techniques.

This is really approachable method if you fancy learning and exploring your instrument through short pieces and songs. Everything is also clearly laid out, and the explanations are short and to the point.

I would recommend the 'Abracadabra' method to younger learners, due to learning being through songs and short pieces and this will make learning a musical instrument an enjoyable experience.
