This book presents three of the greatest ragtime blues guitar players from the 1920s-1940s. They all possessed what Rev. Gary Davis called that sportinâ?? right hand. Each could sing the blues or play a dance instrumental. They favored first-position chords but produced incredible textures and rhythms from these easy left-hand fingerings. There are years of exciting fingerpicking challenges in these pages. But what fun it will be once you can play these tunes!

In preparing arrangements for conducting ensembles, for schools and music schools, you don't need the tricks of the pros, but specific arranging strategies tailored to your own ensemble, your own group. So, although the vast majority of arrangements are educationally motivated, lacking so far has been a reference book on educational arranging. Sounds Good, combining decades of didactic experience on the part of composer Felix Janosa and music educator Jorg Sommerfeld, is the first standard work on the technique and strategy of pedagogical arranging: a compendium, both inspiring with its compact as well as comprehensive approach, while also valuably time-saving with its well-developed systematic working methods and efficient working techniques. Numerous examples for duos, trios, class music-making, for inclusive ensembles, school orchestras, big bands, choirs, combos, intercultural ensembles and many more application fields offer a huge fund of practical ideas. A compact educational instrument guide describes which skills and abilities can be expected from beginners and at which point in time. Also covered is the topic of arranging without notes or with computers and electronics.Sounds Good contains over 200 music examples, most of them also accessible as digital files. It further offers 30 practice projects with sample solutions; numerous tables and overviews serve as a useful resource for the everyday, teaching-staff arrangers. And, last but not least, Sounds Good is an exciting foray into the most diverse fields of music education.It's hard to imagine what I might have become if this work had existed earlier. But it's never too late.... Gotz Alsmann
