Par HARRIS PAUL. The very thought of aural, especially in examinations, strikes fear into the heart of many young pianists and instrumentalists. But aural should not be an occasional optional extra, it?s something to be developing all the time, because having a good ear will help you to improve as a musician more than any other single musical skill. Improve your Aural! Is designed to take the fear out of aural. Through fun listening activities, boxes to fill in and practice exercises, this workbook focuses on all the elements of the aural test. And because all aspects of musical training are of course connected, a range of interconnected activities are included to help develop the ear including singing, clapping, playing your instrument, writing music down, improvising and composing. This new edition of this popular series supports new ABRSM syllabus requirements from 2010, ensuring success in the aural test of graded exams. All the answers for Improve Your Aural! Grade 3 are provided on the last page of the physical book. / Methods and Tutors / Solfège/Formation Musicale / Ecoute

The Melakarta System. Par IYER RADHIKA. Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory. It demonstrates a new archetype in music composition for composers of any genre, as well as composition teachers and anyone interested in ethnomusicology.This book contains a set of 12 etudes for piano and transcriptions for classical guitar. Each etude is about one minute in length and utilizes notes from a particular Indian scale. An intermediate to advanced skill level is required to perform each etude. Practicing and performing these studies is an excellent way to expand one's musical perspective beyond traditional diatonic scales.Indianmusic has intrigued the West for a long time, but hasn't always been accessible because of the absence of a systematic approach to theory and repertoire. Just as the Western harmonic system is well developed, the Indian melodic system is very advanced and equally established. The intermingling of these two worlds can inspire new, exceptional sonic landscapes.Useful literature on the evolution of the Indian melodic system is also included, with notes on how it can be used as a modus operandi by Western musicians who wish to apply Indian scales in Western compositions and improvisations.Includes access to online audio Elements of Indian Music introduces the Indian melodic system in an accessible manner within the realm of Western music theory.

Avec ce 6e volume de L'Ouverture à la musique, nous poursuivons notre approche pédagogique au coeur de laquelle l'idée d'une base auditive sensorielle est un préalable indispensable. Tout en poursuivant le développement des paramètres rythmique et mélodique dans la suite des volumes précédents, nous insistons ici sur la maîtrise des gammes, des modulations, du système tonal en général, mais aussi des modes naturels et autres échelles, sans oublier le développement de la perception des degrés les plus importants par le ressenti des quatre cadences principales. Une oeuvre, Peer Gynt d'Edvard Grieg, sert de fil conducteur à cet ouvrage ; tout au long des chapitres, de nombreux extraits sont ainsi intégrés à la progression. Fruit de notre expérience, de l'étude des courants pédagogiques et d'une recherche de répertoires tant variés qu'appropriés, L'Ouverture à la musique volume 6 propose au professeur et à l'élève, enfant ou adulte, de continuer son apprentissage musical en se plongeant dans la matière sonore, en goûtant au plaisir de la découverte et de l'expérimentation, tout en devenant de plus en plus autonome et créatif.
