Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and quality of practice is the greatest predictor of musical success so that aspiring musicians of all ages and abilities can best bring about expert performance. This inspiring, accessible guide will equip students, teachers, adult learners, and parents with the methods and mindset to improve the likelihood of learning music successfully. 'Deeply impressive - the breadth of research is fascinating!' - Victorian Music Teachers Association 'Terrific...eminently practical...excellent discussion...I came away inspired and excited.' - The Music Trust, Australia 'This book really does deliver' - American Music Teacher 'I can't think of any other book that draws on so many resources to create a new understanding of learning music. Every serious music student, music teacher, and parent of a music student will find important information in this book. Griffin gives clear examples of how concepts are applied that make for enjoyable reading. This book has a potential for making lifelong differences in the lives of music students, parents and teachers.” - Roy Ernst, PhD, LLD Professor Emeritus, Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester 'A must buy for every music teacher and music student. Bravo on a most stimulating read. This draws together old wisdom and the latest research.

The book is well documented, making it convenient to go on to further reading about the topics of each chapter. The language is concise and easily understood, yet deeply practical and useful.' - 5 stars Robert Adams, Music Educator, New Haven, USA.

Dans ce livre, Mike Perlowin combine l'expérience pratique d'être un musicien de travail dans les domaines de rock, blues, country, RandB, reggae, et de bluegrass avec les connaissances théoriques d'une formation universitaire d'expliquer la théorie de la musique en termes que tout accompli modérément musicien peut comprendre. En commençant par la plus élémentaire des leçons, Perlowin claire et concise explique les relations tonales entre notes et comment ils forment des différents types de balances et cordes. Au lieu d'utiliser des exemples tirés de la musique classique peu familier, ce livre utilise des airs connus comme Marie a un petit agneau ou Silent Night pour illustrer les principes théoriques. Plutôt que d'offrir des renseignements sur la façon de jouer d'un instrument spécifique, cet ouvrage est conçu pour les personnes qui ont déjà jouent avec compétence, mais ne comprennent pas les principes théoriques sous-jacents de la musique. Bien que le livre est relativement court, il contient l'équivalent d'une année de matériel de niveau collège, tous accessibles aux moyennes mus... / Niveau : Débutant / All Styles - Theory and Harmony / Théorie / Tout Instrument
