The Melakarta System. Par IYER RADHIKA. Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory. It demonstrates a new archetype in music composition for composers of any genre, as well as composition teachers and anyone interested in ethnomusicology.This book contains a set of 12 etudes for piano and transcriptions for classical guitar. Each etude is about one minute in length and utilizes notes from a particular Indian scale. An intermediate to advanced skill level is required to perform each etude. Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one's musical perspective beyond traditional diatonic scales.Indianmusic has intrigued the West for a long time, but hasn't always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire. Just as the Western harmonic system is well developed, the Indian melodic system is very advanced and equally established. The intermingling of these two worlds can inspire new, exceptional sonic landscapes.Useful literature on the evolution of the Indian melodic system is also included, with notes on how it can be used as a modus operandi by Western musicians who wish to apply Indian scales in Western compositions and improvisations.Includes access to online audio Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory.

Music notation is a language that has been developing for thousands of years- even the manner in which we read music today has been around for several centuries. In learning to read music, we encounter basic symbols for pitch, duration, and timing. As we advance, we learn about dynamics, expression, timbre, and even special effects. How to Read Music will introduce you to the basics, then provide more advanced information. As a final reward for all your hard work, you´ll get a chance to play excerpts from three classic piano pieces. Topics include: pitch - rhythm - meter - special words and symbols - plus classical piano pieces by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. / Formation Musicale

Volume 2. Par WEBER ALAIN. French composer, Alain Weber (b. 1930) writes Progressive Lessons in Theory and Rhythm with much experience and expertise. This second volume, which considers in detail quavers, semiquavers, triplets and the 6/8 time signature, is essential to accompany basic theory progression. Following graduation from the Paris Conservatoire, Weber spent time in Italy to develop his own musical style. However, he soon returned to the institution as a professor of theory and counterpoint. He is a significant contributor to important teaching materials and Progressive Lessons in Theory and Rhythm is no exception. / Pédagogie / Solfège/Formation Musicale / Pédagogie Musicale

A Manual of Techniques and Possibilities for the Adventurous Improvising Musician. Par KANE DAVID. Sure - everybody has an opinion on how to play ?outside?. But until now, no one has made an in-depth exploration of the commonalities and differences in how the greatest jazz players on the planet have incorporated their inspiring, harmony defying techniques. With Playing Outside the Chord, David Kane invokes a thoughtfully curated selection of transcribed phrases that take the reader beyond the simple mechanics of what is being played and offer revelatory insights into what the players are (or might be) thinking when they play it. It?s a daunting, seemingly impossible objective; yet here it is, beautifully examined, notated, and explained in an accessible way that every musician can understand. 'This book is a treasure trove, full of important information on chromaticism and its usage. From Bach to Schoenberg, Dave covers a lot of ground and the book is very well organized. He specifically addresses the melodic aspect of improvisation, including lines and phrases, rather than the usual emphasis on harmony. What's special is that he explores the ?feeling? and overall effect of the lines on the listener. This book is all you need as a working guide towards understanding the implications of 20th century jazz and classical music.? -David Liebman LEVEL-UP!!! If you?re feeling uninspired, stuck, or limited by your current play, this is the perfect book to help you break those chains, stimulate your creativity, and take your playing and composing in compelling new directions. Enthusiastically endorsed by modern jazz luminaries such as David Liebman and Richie Beirach, Playing Outside the Chord is devoted to melodic phrasing that transcends conventional chord/scale relationships. This exciting technique incorporating the theory and practice of horizontal playing and extended tonality pioneered by jazz titans such as Michael Brecker, Cory Henry, John Scofield, Brad Meldhau, and Jacob Collier is a vital component of the modern jazz performance and improvisation toolbox. Featuring over 200 musical examples gleaned from classic solos, plus 15 extensive transcriptions of legendary performances, this book is skillfully designed to clue you in on the theoretical basis of ?outside? play as practiced by these trail-blazing musicians. It systematically describes each type of technique used, including timing and source considerations, and by doing so unlocks a wealth of modern ideas that offer rich possibilities for the creative improviser. Kane?s insightful treatise on outside playing represents an important expansion of the ideas available to the dedicated student of improvisation. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Etude / Tout Instrument

My Music Box is a complete book for a second year of music education. He approaches all notions by learning traditional or original songs and discovering a varied repertoire. In order to allow the child to immerse himself in a living musical context and to assimilate durably the notions, all the proposed texts have an audio support. The accompaniments of the songs are available on the educational space of Editions Billaudot's website and the musics of the repertoire on the Deezer platform. The book, in 20 lessons, has the following sections: I sing / I dance, I listen, I read and some at home for personal work. The close link between songs, prescriptions, recognition and deciphering allows the child to make melodic relationships lastingly aware. The reading is approached in a relative way in the first lessons. The proposed rhythms are played with a sound support. This approach makes it possible to make rhythm alive, in connection with a musical reality (phrasing, articulation, perception of sound movement).

George Heussenstamm, composer of more than 85 published works and author of The Norton Manual of Music Notation , taught college-level theory for several decades. Unable to find what he considered a suitable text, he wrote his own, honing it through practical classroom experience. It is now published for the first time as Hal Leonard Harmony and Theory . This book is designed for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of music theory, whether beginner or more advanced. The first two chapters deal with music fundamentals, and may be skipped by those with music reading experience. Each chapter contains many examples that clearly illustrate the concepts presented. Written exercises at the end of each chapter allow the reader to test and apply their knowledge. Topics include: basic music-reading instruction - triads in root position - triads in inversion - cadences - non-harmonic tones - the dominant seventh chord - other seventh chords - and more. / Formation Musicale
