Questo metodo si rivolge a tutti coloro che desiderano imparare a suonare la chitarra… senza farsi venire pesanti mal di testa! In altri termini, senza solfeggio, senza teoria musicale, senza note, senza pentagramma… Il che significa che dovrete giusto saper leggere semplici diagrammi di accordi (molto visivi) per capire cosa fa la mano sinistra, mentre le pennate effettuate dalla mano destra sono rappresentate da piccole frecce (molto giudiziose). Semplice, vero? Volendosi molto progressivo, il metodo vi propone all’inizio di scoprire i principali accordi della chitarra. Vi far poi lavorare sulle concatenazioni di accordi e vi insegner poi a suonarli su dei ritmi pop,rock e folk… fino ad essere capaci di suonare degli accompagnamenti alla maniera dei più grandi successi della chitarra di ieri e di oggi (The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC, Oasis…). L’altro vantaggio di questo metodo risiede nel disco dati allegato. Vi troverete in effetti numerosi file audio e video che vi permettono di ottimizzare l’apprendimento e tutte le nozioni didattiche fornite nel libro. I video (mp4) presentano tramite l’immagine tutti gli esempi così come devono essere suonati, mentre le registrazioni audio (mp3) propongono le basi musicali per permettervi di suonare tali esempi in vere condizioni musicali… come se foste gi un chitarrista in seno ad un gruppo.

The Baccanale is a genre of traditional Italian choral song without instrumental accompaniment. In most cases it is sung by two tenors and a bass. Most of the anonymous song are in a straightforward, homophonic-syllabic style. These songs are often at carnival time and are jocular in content, with a playful, ironic touch and they contain many erotic allusions. In addition to the Italian text of the 12 settings, sometimes in dialect, German singing texts are also included.

Conocer las escalas pentatónicas es una cosa, saber sacar partido de ellas es otra cosa. Y esto es precisamente lo que nuestro método se propone, con sus 120 grooves 100% pentatónicos, que ampliarán sus conocimientos y estimularán su creatividad. La primera parte del método está dedicada a la escala pentatónica menor y sus 5 posturas. Para cada postura Ud descubrirá 10 grooves diferentes, o sea 50 grooves en total. Una última serie de 10 grooves que reúne esta vez las 5 posturas concluirá esta sección. La segunda parte del método dedicado a la escala pentatónica mayor sigue exactamente el mismo principio. El disco incluido en el método consta de un sinf n de ficheros audios yv deos. Los 240 v deos (mp4) presentan en imágenes los 120 grooves de bajo tales como uno debe tocarlos, a velocidad normal y luego más lenta.

Origins of the Tarantella The tarantella is a popular southern Italian dance with origins in the 11th century. (There is even some mention of the tarantella in ancient Greek mythology.) Of the possible sources of the dance, the most popular comes from the villages of Tanto and Tarentum (little spider), Italy. During harvest, workers in the field were sometimes bitten by the tarantula spider. To combat the poison, the afflicted workers went into a frenetic, almost musical exorcism to sweat the venom out of their pores. In the millennium since, the very energetic nature of the dance has remained, although the curative focus of the dance has given way to more enjoyable endeavors, even stately courtship. Origins of the Text Christopher Smart (1722-1771), also known as Kit Smart or Jack Smart, was born in Kent, England and suffered from what is now believed to be acute asthma and other health issues as a child. As such, he did not work in the fields, but spent much time reading and writing, a passion that he nurtured for a lifetime. Well known in London literary circles, his career as a writer floundered due to mounting debts and his falling out of favor with the literary establishment: Sadly, he was forced to confinement at St. Luke's Hospital for Lunatics, though this was based on his mounting debt, and not on insanity. (Confinement, or debtor's prison, was common during this period if one's debts could not be paid.) During his confinement, he worked on two of his most famous works, Jubilate Agno and A Song of David. (Part of Jubilate Agno [Rejoice in the Lamb] was set to music by English composer, Benjamin Britten.) Smart's writing style (which, at times, bordered on the absurd), along with his many obsessions, lead to frequent misperceptions of his work and his lucidity. In this present work, portions of Smart's Jubilate Agno were used in mm. 24-31, 103-110 and 149-156. The remaining text was gathered by the composer, including the rapid, almost patter-like, delivery of words from A-Z in the alphabet. (Christopher Smart had a preoccupation with the alphabet.) These words both rhyme and accentuate the frenetic nature of the spider dance: theraphosa [teh-rah-fo-sa] a genus of tarantula spiders bellicose [beh-lee-ko-sah] hostile; aggressive odiosa [o-dee-o-sa] hateful; vexation tenebrosa [teh-neh-bro-sa] creeping; dark nemorosa [neh-mo-ro-sa] wooded; shady lapidosa [lah-pee-do-sa] stony area; gritty The convergence, then, of the medieval tarantella (spider dance), the writings of a brilliant poet who bordered on the absurd, and the infusion of strong, descriptive and otherwise random, rhyming words, synthesizes to make dramatic lyrics for this work. About the Composer Z. Randall Stroope is an American composer and conductor. He has served as Professor of Music at three universities (an Endowed Professor at two), conducted 47 all-state choirs, and directed over 40 times at Carnegie Hall, among other American venues. Randall guest conducts full-time, and composes from his home studios on Merritt Island, Florida and in Sandia Park, New Mexico. Performance Notes Text: In Latin, the r is flipped; use s instead of z on endings such as phosa, cosa, and so on; the Latin o is a cross between oh and aw; in the transliteration above, I chose to simply use an o for consistency. The director will blend the oh and aw in the rehearsals to his/her own preference. Lastly, tarantula is pronounced tah-rah-n-too-lah (avoid teh-ran-choo-luh) within the confines of this text. Stomp: This can be done by the entire chorus, or just the first row. It is as much visual as it is auditory. The string quartet is preferred over piano when that option affords itself. I created a piano score that is a viable option and included it in the piano/vocal score if a performance uses chorus/piano.

I tradizionali percorsi educativi miranti alla formazione musicale non valorizzano abbastanza il momento dell?ascolto, e per questo in genere non prevedono neppure una sua presenza strutturata e specifica.
È invece nostra convinzione che sia necessario stimolare e sostenere da subito l?abitudine all?ascolto, proprio al fine di arricchire, completare ed anche motivare lo studio della musica.
Per questo il percorso che qui viene proposto aspira a contribuire allo sviluppo delle capacità percettive e della creatività dell?allievo abituandolo a riconoscere, distinguere e mettere tra loro in relazione alcuni degli elementi del discorso musicale.
A tal fine viene proposta una serie di esperienze di ascolto ?attivo?. È attraverso l?uso del corpo e della voce, di grafici e di interventi strumentali che possiamo offrire all?allievo non solo l?occasione di sentirsi partecipe e protagonista - anche mentre ascolta - dell?esperienza musicale, ma anche la possibilità di costruire e di esprimere qualcosa che riguarda il senso di ciò che ascolta.
L?esecuzione di partiture ritmiche e ritmico-melodiche e la realizzazione di coreografie possono inoltre contribuire allo sviluppo del senso ritmico, della coordinazione motoria, delle capacità di memorizzazione e di concentrazione nonché di alcune abilità relative alla pratica strumentale e alla lettura musicale.
A quest?ultimo proposito, il quaderno propone di abituare l?allievo a seguire la musica anche attraverso la lettura di ?guide melodiche? e in partitura; l?intenzione è di favorire un ascolto sempre più autonomo e consapevole.
La proposta di grafici d?ascolto e l?invito all?allievo di tentare di tracciarne anche altri ci sembra infine possa aiutare il formarsi di un?immagine mentale sintetica dei brani ascoltati, possibile forma spaziale - interpretata, e ricostruita - di quanto percepito e interiorizzato attraverso le altre ?attività? di ascolto.
La raccolta propone l?ascolto di 13 danze di Mozart e Beethoven: Contraddanze, Minuetti, Danze Tedesche. La scelta di questo repertorio, poco conosciuto ed eseguito, è motivata, oltre che dal suo valore musicale, dalla semplicità strutturale e fraseologica, dalla ricchezza timbrica dell?organico e dalla breve durata di ogni brano.
Il quaderno si rivolge principalmente agli allievi dei corsi di propedeutica musicale delle scuole di musica, a partire dai nove anni. Le proposte di ascolto qui raccolte, per il tipo di attività e per il repertorio, possono essere utilizzate anche nella scuola di base, comprese le scuole medie ad orientamento musicale e nei corsi di teoria e solfeggio. Può essere infine proposto come sussidio nelle scuole di didattica della musica e per la formazione dei docenti della scuola elementare e materna.
