Finally, Maestro Bobo's DVD masterclass is available. Produced in Japan, it contains some of the finest musical advice and insight for musicians, students of brass and tubists. Some of the works performed include: Strauss-Concerto #1, Stevens-Variations in Olden Style, Koetsier-Concertino, Madsen-Sonata & Schumann-Adagio & Allegro. The following are some words from Roger Bobo of his thoughts in producing a DVD masterclass - this will be some of the most valuable 2 1/2 hours spent in front of a screen:

Throughout my student and professional days I have been inspired and motivated by watching many masterclasses (usually on television) presented by many of the great musicians of our time. It was many years ago that I first got the idea to try to create such a masterclass of my own but was always held back by thinking, No, I'm not ready yet. The difficult fact is that I still feel that same Not readiness. But having now completed 7 decades on this planet, it seemed prudent to proceed with the masterclass project, ready or not, and fortunately at this time a DVD seemed the perfect medium. --Roger Bobo.

An Advanced Orchestral Conducting Workshop. Composed by David Itkin. Music Education. 62 pages. GIA Publications #10604. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10604).

ISBN 9781622776153.

This advanced orchestral conducting resource features concise discussions of advanced technical and interpretive issues for 44 major orchestral works that all conductors will perform during their careers. The brief discussions that precede each score cover the full range of issues encountered in real conducting situations, and the accompanying online videos show Maestro Itkin demonstrating the techniques for each excerpt. All music examples have been faithfully reproduced from original scores, and Maestro Itkin has also arranged each excerpt for string quintet, ideal for the conducting class setting. With nearly a thousand performances to his credit, acclaimed conductor David Itkin shares the knowledge he has acquired over his decades in the profession. The Conductor’s Craft is for both up-and-coming conductors and seasoned professionals alike, equally beneficial for personal study or for use in a classroom or ensemble setting.   This volume is a real breakthrough aid for anyone studying or teaching conducting at any level. Written by David Itkin, a most distinguished and experienced conductor and teacher, it concentrates on all the vital techniques in the teaching of the craft. The accompanying video recordings also make this volume unique. This addition to the material for teaching conducting is truly revolutionary, and the selection of examples gets successfully to the point of each subject discussed. —Samuel Adler     Composer, conductor, author     Professor Emeritus, The Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music The Conductor’s Craft outlines a detailed plan and method for executing conductor training in advanced conducting studios. Itkin’s book is also an excellent reference for any teacher who instructs advanced students in a collegiate orchestral conducting program, as well as for up-and-coming professionals who are studying for a career in the field. Perhaps most important, an individual conductor can manage their own self-study with Maestro Itkin’s clear statements and explanations of the technical issues presented with each excerpt. This book gives individual conductor’s freedom to explore choices and alternatives to fix tricky passages in the provided musical examples. I love the book and will be using it in my studio. —Julius P. Williams     Artistic director and conductor, Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra     President of the International Conductors Guild How refreshing to review a conducting book that deals with specificity of gesture as it relates to the music rather than mere concepts. Bravo to Maestro David Itkin for holding the aspiring conductor to task on issues of score study, execution, and style! —Mark Gibson     Director of Orchestral Studies, College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati     Author of The Beat Stops Here.

SKU: BO.B.3148

Composed by Josep Ma Ruera. Duration 4:00. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.B.3148).

ISBN 9788480202725.

Comentarios del Espanol:
Ya desde joven, Ruera dedico parte de su tiempo a la educacion. En 1927 gano las oposiciones a profesor de solfeo de la nueva Escuela Municipal de Musica de Granollers, con un jurado presidido por el maestre Joan Bta. Lambert. Poco antes de empezar la Guerra Civil, Ruera ejercio de profesor de musica a la moderna escuela Montesori, considerada en toda Europa como una de las escuelas mas adelantadas en cultura y pedagogia infantil. En 1945 fue nombrado director de la Escuela Municipal de Musica de Granollers, de a que era profesor, cargo que ocupo hasta 1983. De esta dedicacion e interes por la educacion, juntamente con su amor a la familia, surgio su obra Vals Moderado, escrita en 1939 y dedicada a su hija mayor, como el mismo indica en el encabezamiento de la obra: Ofrenda a mi hija M. Asuncion en su fiesta onomastica. Granollers, 15 de agosto de 1939. Se trata de una pequena obra a cuatro manos, con una parte para el alumno y otra para el profesor, donde Ruera deja bien claro que el papel del maestro es el de ayudar, en todo momento, a su discipulo: Procurara el profesor, en esta parte, adelantar la mano derecha hacia el interior a fin de que la mano izquierda del alumno pueda tocar libremente. --Anna Maria Piera.

Trattare argomenti teorici rivolgendosi ai bambini è un compito non facile perché in molti casi la terminologia non può essere semplificata e ciò penalizza inevitabilmente la lettura.
Nella stesura del volume l’Autrice ha perciò mirato a smussare le difficoltà di un linguaggio tecnico con una grafica ordinata e un'esposizione lineare delle tematiche, concentrando in una sola pagina ogni argomento e utilizzando schemi e disegni per rendere la lettura più agevole e facilitare la memorizzazione dei contenuti da parte dei piccoli musicisti.
Il volumetto che ne è scaturito tratta tutte le tematiche standard della teoria musicale e può essere un valido supporto alle attività pratiche complementari svolte con il maestro.
Inoltre la sua facile consultazione, la vicinanza al mondo infantile e la poetica, rassicurante presenza di Dulcita, Pepito e Micho Pallo potranno incuriosire i bambini e motivarli a successivi approfondimenti. Un insegnante appassionato saprà fare il resto.

ISBN 9788438712535. Spanish.

Nueva edicion de la coleccion Lenguaje Musical de Felix Sierra que abarca los 4 cursos de Grado Elemental y 2 de Grado Medio. Cada curso consta de dos volumenes: A y B. En esta nueva edicion se han ampliado el numero de ejercicios dedicados, tanto ala formacion ritmica y de lectura de notas-escasa en la edicion original-, como a la entonacion de melodias. Los ejercicios de entonacion incluyen un sencillo acompanamiento pianistico, con el que se pretende un triple objetivo: facilitar su estudioestabilizando la afinacion, ayudar a la interiorizacion de las funciones armonicas y aproximarlos a esa musica que, como se ha dicho con fina ironia, tambien existe fuera de los conservatorios. No se trata, con ellos, de descifrar una partitura. Apesar de lo limitado de los medios empleados, se puede -y se debe- realizar con estas piezas en miniatura una labor artistica. El CD que se incluye con el libro, aunque nunca puede suplir al profesor, si que, al menos en parte, cumple esta funcion.Otra novedad la constituye la inclusion del arreglo para instrumentos escolares de una de las canciones con que se inicia cada unidad didactica, canciones que siguen siendo la materia principal que se desarrolla en el resto de la unidad. Canciones ymelodias a una y dos voces con acompanamiento de piano, ejercicios de ritmo y lectura de notas, percusion corporal, pequenas obras escritas para instrumentos de laminas, nociones de teoria, juegos musicales, practica de la improvisacion y la creacionmusical... y todo ello con un riguroso planteamiento didactico en el que la armonia es el eje vertebrador de todas las actividades que se proponen. Ayudar a descubrir el apasionante mundo musical debe de ser, a juicio del autor, la tarea principal delmaestro de musica. Esperamos con estos libros, favorecer esta dificil labor. Lenguaje Musical, Lecciones De Entonacion y Educacion Audivita son las colecciones de Felix Sierra que contemplan la ensenanza del lenguaje musical. En un ambito de decima(LA a DO) y tratando de que se interiorice la modalidad, se trabajan en este cuaderno las tonalidades de DO, mayor y menor y LA, menor y mayor. Ademas de las figuras presentadas en el cuaderno anterior, en este se incluyen la semicorchea y lasincopa, el compas de seis por ocho, la clave de FA y se sigue trabajando con las funciones armonicas basicas: tonica, dominante y subdominante.
