Is the beginning stage of learning the guitar proving to be a frustrating experience? Do you lack songs which you can play from start to finish? Do the ones that you can play all the way through not sound much like their original versions? I have been teaching these pieces to my beginner students for quite some time now, and the success rate has been remarkable. Most methods start by having the student slowly move back and forth between basic chords using only down strokes, playing chords one note at a time to make sure all the notes ring clear. This book offers something much differentâ??playing music! The pieces are designed to target trouble areas often experienced by beginners of the instrument: arching the fingers enough in order to let all the notes of a chord ring clearly. Rather than just droning on through a series of chords, musical patterns are created so that as you learn proper technique youâ??re also playing something musical. The results have been better than expected. Focusing on figures that demand proper technique and some of the most common strumming patterns found in popular music, many of my students are able to execute beginner and intermediate level songs within a few weeks of picking up the instrument rather than a few months. Additionally, the dreaded F chord, or root 6 major barre chord, often rings clearly with all 6 notes being heard upon the first attempt. This book will help you achieve your guitar related goals quickly, more efficiently, and most importantly, more enjoyably. Includes access to online video.

An advanced-level violin method supplement for both professional and amateur violinists. The studies in this book are more intensive and powerful than most traditional violin studies. Double-stop trills are introduced here for technical training, and the finger stretching exercises for the left hand are pushed to the limit. The mixed single-stops, double-stops, and chords are also highly effective bowing exercises. All these innovative studies offer a great opportunity for students to build up their technique more efficiently. In some studies, a new synthesis of Eastern and Western music is shown, unveiling a new type of music to Western audience.

This intermediate to advanced-level book is intended for the serious rock drummer. It demonstrates the obvious benefits of being a versatile percussionist. The author asserts that creative drummers come up with new and exciting patterns from having studied various styles of music; those that exert a lasting influence seem to be constantly aware of styles that could influence their own music. The book includes ten charts, each representative of a rock style that you will surely encounter as you progress as a musician. Includes access to online audio which contains music for all the charts.

Viola - Intermediate

Practicing scales is essential to building and maintaining strength, technique, tone, and agility on the viola, but it is easy to slip into the habit of playing scales automatically, without paying attention to tonality or sound production. The 29 single-page studies in this book focus the attention of violists on the beauty of sound, with a particular concern for the way different keys resonate on the viola.The first 24 studies address all minor and relative major keys and proceed through the circle of fifths; the last 5 pieces are individually conceived, i.e., apart from the circle of fifths. No metronome indications are given, so the etudes can be played at individually comfortable tempos.The names of the etudes refer to various animals that have scales, including insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and a few species of mammals. The author hopes that in addition to experiencing more enjoyable scale practice, students will be inspired to learn more about these amazing creatures and write scale studies of their own.
