This book presents a practical approach to improvising through a system of patterns in a traditional blues style. Because so much of today's popular music has its roots in blues, the material included here is a vital component of jazz, rock, RandB, gospel, soul, and even pop. The author has compiled actual licks, riffs, turnaround phrases, embellishments, and basic patterns that define good piano blues and can be used as a basis for players to explore and create their own style.

... those who know Bredenbach's Lustige Lieder, know that his music isn't always easy, which it doesn't have to be! He [Bredenbach] knows what children are capable of ... The piece is fun: first, because the story is well-known; second, because the melodies are original and witty (children have an excellent sense for why the melody must be angular in certain places, and why an exploding pipe cannot be set in decending major thirds), third, because hymns, folksongs, and children's songs are hidden everywhere, which strengthen and underline the comedy or joke in each situation ...

The scale training exercise complete book, supervised by Yoshiko Kurokawa. This is a revolutionary collection of all-key scale exercises designed to help both aspiring and practicing pianists practice essential scales efficiently. The major and minor (harmonic and melodic minor) scales in the 12 keys are an important part of the practice for learning tonality and training the muscles and joints of the hand. The human hand is flexible, and the thumb and other fingers bend in different directions, making it easy to turn and play a wide range of notes. However, it is important to learn scales from an early age because the correct playing style is required, such as knowing how to turn the fingers when playing speed is faster, the position of the black keys and white keys, and how to use the wrist. To play scales smoothly with all five fingers (one hand), the turn of the first finger is significant. It is advisable to practice scales from an early age to improve the turns. The fingering of the scale changes depending on the key. It takes a lot of time to learn them because fingering is different for the right hand and the left hand as well. Also, although the scale is written in two-fourths time, if you are not used to it, you may end up playing one octave at a time. Various exercises are described in this book to help you solve these problems. It takes a lot of time to play scales well by nature, but that is why it is important to practice efficiently.

According to the distinguished musicologist Juan Bautista Varela, the Galician Treboada is a musical term out of the songbook, as its sense is merely musical. From a lexicographical point of view it means thunderstorm, storm, squall, etc. It is almost an onomatopoeic sense, due to the great noise that the bass drums, fundamental elements of the Treboada, make. The Treboada is played always on the eves of celebrations or feasts and it is played by three or five bass drums, one or two Galician bagpipes and a drum.The dispersion area of the Treboada is much reduced, according to the poet and essayist Eliseo Alonso Rodriguez, it comprises the parishes of Forcadela and Estas, both of them belong to the town of Tomino. Xose Hernique Rodriguez Portela, from Tomino, says that they also play it on the feast of the Virgin of St. Mary of Tomino eve (Virgen del Alivio de Santa Maria de Tomino). I owe him the idea of this piece, because Xose Henrique described to me how the bass drums sound in the distance, early in the morning, like great roars along with blank bullets that are shot every time a particular house donates money for the feast and they gradually approach the house until it trembles. He sang the melody I wrote and he confessed he had heard it not long ago in the rehearsal of a popular folk group where there was only a percussionist and a Galician bagpipe player, as with the drums it is difficult to appreciate the bagpipe. I also mix the Treboada with an Alborada, because in Galicia almost all the churches have loudspeakers that play this melody at around nine o'clock in the morning, the same time that the Treboada of Tomino starts playing. Gloria Rodriguez Gil.

My father, Y. “Raghu†Raghunathan, came from India to the U.S. in 1963, followed soon after by my mother Sita. Dad enjoyed a substantial career as a pharmaceutical chemist, but he drew satisfaction from a simple life among family and friends, never allowing professional demands to overshadow his devotion to loved ones. Modest, compassionate, and ardently egalitarian, he was careful not to take anything too seriously, especially himself. He embraced his own ordinariness because it connected him to everyone else; it made him no better or worse than his neighbor, no more or less deserving of friendship or kindness than any of his fellow human beings. He showed us how to live with dignity, compassion, grace, and boundless love. His last piece of advice to me: “Go slow.†Several weeks after his passing, I happened upon a recording of Shostakovich’s 24 Preludes and Fugues, opus 87. I couldn’t understand why at the time, but the sixteenth prelude and fugue took hold of me and would not let go. I completely immersed myself in that piece for ten days, until it became a mystical conduit for something else: in this semi-trance state I produced a prelude and fugue of my own, in prayer (orison) and in praise (upastuti). It shadows Shostakovich’s form, but it somehow expresses my father’s unhurried, loving spirit. I’ve come to believe that he sent me this piece as a blessing. I hope you feel his presence in it as I do. Vijay Iyer.
