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
A Manual of Techniques and Possibilities for the Adventurous Improvising Musicia...(+)
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

Par SAINDON ED. While the primary focus of Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation is on polyrhythms, the book also covers other additional important rhythms that are useful for the improviser. Extensive syncopated rhythmic figures (via the use of rests, dotted notes and ties), mixed rhythmic figures and partial subdivision are also covered which are beneficial to today's improviser. Advanced Rhythms in Improvisation offers musicians material and concepts that will help them expand their rhythmic vocabulary in improvisation. Additionally, working on this material will help improvisers fine tune their sense of time and give them many more options for rhythms whether they are improvising in 4/4 or 7/4. The use of these rhythms in improvisation as discussed in the book will enable the player to 'float over the time” and to 'disguise” the basic pulse of the time. / Méthode / Méthode / Tout Instrument

The Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series. Par RICKER RAMON. A new Play along system for learning to play jazz. Each set contains a book with transposed parts for all instruments and a play along CD with Ray playing many of the book examples on his saxophone. Volume one is for the absolute beginning jazz student who knows his/her major scales. Subjects covered in this book include: VOCABULARY: Intervals, Roman Numerals, Scales, Modes, Diatonic Seventh Chords, Major, Minor, Dominant, and Suspended Chords, Chord/Scale Relationships, The Blues Progression, Using Pentatonic Scales with Blues, Pentatonic Chord/Scale Relationships, The II-V-I Progression, Rhythm Changes, The Circle of Fifths, and The Circle of Fourths, and Steps for Playing on Changes. STYLE: Swing Eighth Notes, Use of the Metronome, Scale Practice, and Scat-Singing Solos. EAR TRAINING: Specific examples and suggestions with recorded tracks for practice. REPERTOIRE: A suggested basic repertoire. This improvisation method is more than just another play-along. It is a series of books and CDs that progress step by step, offering concrete suggestions and advise that shows you how and what to practice. Drawing on twenty-five years of teachingexperience at the Eastman School of Music, Ramon Ricker uses text, recorded demonstrations by him and his students, and practice and play-along tracks that present the material in a clear and concise manner. Most of the play-along tracks feature the rhythm section of the 1980 Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Big Band with Harold Danko on piano, Rufus Reid on bass and the late, great Mel Lewis on drums. Since they performed and recorded together consistently over aperiod of several years, they played as a unit - a true jazz rhythm section. The recordings were brought up to meet todays higher CD standards and served as an inspiration for Ramon Ricker to write three entirely new books. In addition, new demonstration, ear training, and play-along tracks were added. / Niveau : Débutant / Jazz / Recueil / Tout Instrument

Par DRUMM SIEGFRIED / ALEXANDRE JEAN FRANCOIS. Musical Training in the Orchestra
The authors have devised - with help from instrumental teachers - a method that is a tool both lively and amusing for children, and as precise as possible for teachers, while letting them teach according to their personal musical style.
Some of the advantages of musical training in the orchestra:
- a much clearer and less abstract relationship between solfège and playing an instrument (all solfège training is directly related to the instrument that the student has chosen)
- an oral before a written presentation
- more thorough ear training, due to scores played by different instrumentalists
- improved comprehension/analysis of the works proposed as a result of playing an instrument
- develops the student's autonomy
- playing an instrument collectively as part of this course will encourage the student (once the necessary level is reached) to participate in a conservatory or music school ensemble
Each volume of Symphonic FM comes in a book for the student (adapted to the instrument played) and a book for the teacher./ Méthode / Formation Musicale

Georges Dandelot (1895-1975), who was a pupil of Widor, Roussel and Dukas, achieved posterity only through his educational manuals, which seem to enjoy permanent success. Some may regret the fact that his compositions have fallen into oblivion, but nobody can deny his tremendous talent for musical instruction. When it was published in 1935, the five-volume Etude Du Rythme filled a glaring gap: for the first time, a progressive method - graduated with minute care - set out to inculcate pupils with this 'vital element? of all music. Dedicated to the simplest rhythms that are 'the basis of all to follow?, the first volume now comes with a valuable addition: an audio version, attached to the score in the form of a download card, enabling budding musicians to monitor for themselves whether they have correctly reproduced the rhythms of the exercises. Of course, this recording can also be used to carry out rhythm dictations - modern-day technology at the service of a timeless method. / Percussions
