The Key of keyboards // La Clé des claviers - Catherine Lénert

The Key of keyboards is a method intended to accompany the first years of learning cycle I of percussion keyboards (xylophone, vibraphone and marimba).
It offers a varied and pleasant repertoire - composed in an original way but also transcribed and arranged from the repertoire of traditional and classical music - associated with preparatory exercises.
