The most complex Key Signatures are two sharps or one flat and the arrangements are all in 4/4 time. Each song contains dynamic markings, some with changes in dynamics, and a tempo or performance direction to encourage effective performance technique.
Chords can be used as a Stretch and Challenge task and performed either as triads, using the "single finger" chord function found on several keyboards or on guitars or ukuleles, or any other suitable instrument as an accompaniment.
Wicked Part 1 Keyboard Skills is a flexible, practical and invaluable music resource leading on from the film's 2024 release success.
