Cet ouvrage, éminemment pratique, n'en néglige pas, pour autant, tout l'aspect culturel de la direction. Si il est orienté prioritairement vers la conduite d'un orchestre, il s'attache aussi à la direction spécifique d'une harmonie, ou, encore plus spécifique, d'un choeur. Cet aspect a d'ailleurs été longtemps négligé et tous les chefs de choeur ou choriste ont connu ces chefs d'orchestre qui ne savait pas comment se conduire vis-à-vis d'un choeur lorsqu'ils dirigeaient une pièce pour choeur et orchestre. Bref, l'ouvrage est très complet. Il comporte cinq parties plus l'indispensable glossaire. La première partie est consacrée aux techniques de base correspondant à tout l'aspect corporel, de la tenue aux différentes battues. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'étude et la préparation du répertoire, exposées très en détail. La troisième est consacrée aux répétitions, la quatrième au concert. La cinquième partie fait en quelque sorte la synthèse en proposant d'appliquer l'ensemble à l'Alléluia du Messie de Haendel. L'ouvrage comporte aussi une copieuse et judicieuse bibliographie. Quant au DVD, il suit pas à pas l'exposé et ne comporte pas moins de trente-quatre chapitres divisés eux-mêmes en plusieurs sections. Il s'agit donc d'un outil de travail tout à fait remarquable et l'auteur explique en détail comment l'utiliser. Cette réalisation est donc une somme que le professionnel aussi bien que l'amateur éclairé pourra lire avec un grand intérêt et un grand profit.

All of these stages are included on the double pages in Hector L'Apprenti Musicien?by Sylvie Débéda. As an extension to these tuition pages complementary activities and notes are included as well as evaluation activities in the form of written exercises. Volume 2 of this tuition series features exercises popular songs classical pieces and fun illustrations to make learning an instrument as fun beneficialand efficient as possible.

The Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series. Par RICKER RAMON. A new Play along system for learning to play jazz. Each set contains a book with transposed parts for all instruments and a play along CD with Ray playing many of the book examples on his saxophone. Volume one is for the absolute beginning jazz student who knows his/her major scales. Subjects covered in this book include: VOCABULARY: Intervals, Roman Numerals, Scales, Modes, Diatonic Seventh Chords, Major, Minor, Dominant, and Suspended Chords, Chord/Scale Relationships, The Blues Progression, Using Pentatonic Scales with Blues, Pentatonic Chord/Scale Relationships, The II-V-I Progression, Rhythm Changes, The Circle of Fifths, and The Circle of Fourths, and Steps for Playing on Changes. STYLE: Swing Eighth Notes, Use of the Metronome, Scale Practice, and Scat-Singing Solos. EAR TRAINING: Specific examples and suggestions with recorded tracks for practice. REPERTOIRE: A suggested basic repertoire. This improvisation method is more than just another play-along. It is a series of books and CDs that progress step by step, offering concrete suggestions and advise that shows you how and what to practice. Drawing on twenty-five years of teachingexperience at the Eastman School of Music, Ramon Ricker uses text, recorded demonstrations by him and his students, and practice and play-along tracks that present the material in a clear and concise manner. Most of the play-along tracks feature the rhythm section of the 1980 Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band with Harold Danko on piano, Rufus Reid on bass and the late, great Mel Lewis on drums. Since they performed and recorded together consistently over aperiod of several years, they played as a unit - a true jazz rhythm section. The recordings were brought up to meet todays higher CD standards and served as an inspiration for Ramon Ricker to write three entirely new books. In addition, new demonstration, ear training, and play-along tracks were added. / Niveau : Débutant / Jazz / Recueil / Tout Instrument

Par DRUMM SIEGFRIED / ALEXANDRE JEAN FRANCOIS. Musical Training in the Orchestra The authors have devised - with help from instrumental teachers - a method that is a tool both lively and amusing for children, and as precise as possible for teachers, while letting them teach according to their personal musical style. Some of the advantages of musical training in the orchestra: - a much clearer and less abstract relationship between solfège and playing an instrument (all solfège training is directly related to the instrument that the student has chosen) - an oral before a written presentation - more thorough ear training, due to scores played by different instrumentalists - improved comprehension/analysis of the works proposed as a result of playing an instrument - develops the student's autonomy - playing an instrument collectively as part of this course will encourage the student (once the necessary level is reached) to participate in a conservatory or music school ensemble Each volume of Symphonic FM comes in a book for the student (adapted to the instrument played) and a book for the teacher./ Méthode / Formation Musicale

Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux élèves de formation musicale des conservatoires et écoles de musique de niveau milieu de 2e cycle. Son objectif principal est la connaissance progressive et la maîtrise des rythmes dans toute la richesse de leur combinatoire et de leur esthétique par : - la mémorisation : outil très puissant permettant l'acquisition rapide et définitive ; - un travail systématique et progressif autour de formules ; - un répertoire choisi pour sa variété rythmique et son intérêt musical, allant du Moyen-Age à aujourd'hui, faisant intervenir toutes les familles d'instruments y compris la voix, présenté dans les quatre clés usuelles (Sol, Fa4, Ut3, Ut4) ; - un travail de réalisation personnelle, en lien avec les formules et le répertoire de chaque leçon, visant l'appropriation du matériau rythmique, le développement de l'expression individuelle ou collective et de l'inventivité rythmique et mélodique.
