This book from the "iPlay" series provides you with an excellent self-study guide for taking your first steps on this wonderful rhythm instrument. If you have a cajón teacher, this book is an ideal complement to your lessons. We explain everything precisely and in detail, so no questions are left unanswered. Graphics deepen your understanding of the material. The content of this book is carefully divided into small learning steps. Please read only one chapter or section first. You should then put this into practice. Only continue working once you have mastered the exercises shown. To make all the exercises and rhythms easy to follow, you have the option to listen to them. Simply scan the QR code. All rhythms in this book have a short, accompanying playalong. This makes practicing much more fun than with a simple metronome, and you also learn about musical forms and styles. The structure of the playalongs is always the same: • All playalongs begin with a count-in. • After that, the notated cajón rhythm and the playalong are played a few times. • After that, you can play along for about two minutes using the playalong/metronome.
