Learning to read music is much like learning a language. There are three basic elements: listening, reading, and writing. This well-organized book provides step-by-step sequential lessons for developing these skills. Rhythm, note, and interval concepts are taught in the following way: first, hear and echo a short musical example - second, read and perform a notated exercise - and third, notate musical phrases as demonstrated on the CD. Worksheet-style student pages are included as reproducible PDFs. Ten-minute activities for teaching or assessment, recommended for 4th through 9th grade ensembles or music classes. / Tout Instrument

The New Method for Learning to Read Written Jazz Music-Throughout the country most music educators teach jazz by rote because in jazz 'what you see' isn't 'what you get.' Students who wish to study this musical form generally have had traditional classical-oriented training and most have difficulty reading jazz music. This self-study text is the answer to this problem. Published in five compatible books Reading Jazz is supplied with an accompanying CD. The most common jazz rhythms are presented one at a time in the order of increasing complexity in a series of short exercises and duets. The CD is used as an example of the proper performance techniques needed and for jazz reading practice with a professionalrhythm section. These Books can be used independent of the teacher so this play-along self-study approach is the logical solution to one of the biggest problems in jazz - how to interpret the written page.
