Inside Improvisation : vol. 6
Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language. The first chapters of this volume on learning the language of jazz focus on the prerequisites of chord scales, approach notes to chord tones and target notes, scale motives and sequences, and lines.
Part two qualifies improvisational techniques into three areas. melodic, harmonic and sonic (rhythmic devices are the focus of Vol. IV, Melodic Rhythms) and it is designed as a menu of soloing devices from which you can select your personal course of study. Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, laying back on the...
The CD contains twelve standard chord progressions, each played in two different tempos.

Renato Chicco - piano
Dave Santoro - bass
Adam Nussbaum - drums

Perfect pitch - also called absolute pitch - has been a source of endless fascination for hundreds of years. The ability to recognize musical tones with no reference is often viewed as a kind of magical power, a gift that only a select few musicians are born with, a skill that cannot be learned. But perfect pitch is largely a misunderstood phenomenon. The Hal Leonard Perfect Pitch Method is designed to help you develop a sense of perfect pitch. In the process, your overall musicianship will benefit and you´ll start listening to music on a deeper level and getting more satisfaction from it. At the heart of this book is a series of 49 ear-training sessions, one per day for seven weeks, using the included CDs or the online audio. Many of the lessons include three separate drills. You can do just one and save the others for later, or all three at the same time. Take your time, advancing to the next session only when you´re satisfied with your results on the previous session. Pretty soon, you´ll notice a marked improvement in your pitch acuity!Online audio is accessed at halleonard.com/mylibrary / Formation Musicale

Confiée à des enseignants du secondaire et à des universitaires, la revue Musicologies nouvelles prépare aux épreuves de musique du baccalauréat. S'appuyant sur l'oeuvre de référence, les candidats doivent établir une comparaison et un élargissement vers d'autres ouvrages et ce, dans toutes les séries. De ce fait, chaque dossier comporte : l'analyse de l'oeuvre au programme ; un ou deux textes autour de cette oeuvre ; une analyse comparée ainsi qu'une fiche de synthèse, en grande partie écrite à partir des textes du dossier. Elle apporte parfois un complément sur des éléments absents, faute d'espace. Conseil méthodologique : lire d'abord la fiche de synthèse afin d'avoir une vue d'ensemble. Ensuite, travailler sur les textes ainsi que sur la fiche d'analyse comparée avant de revenir enfin sur la fiche de synthèse. Après Mozart l'an passé, Jean-Sébastien Bach ouvre le numéro avec sa Cantate BWV 106 « Actus tragicus ». La musique française est encore à l'honneur puisque Ravel revient avec le virtuose Concerto pour la main gauche, Debussy avec sa Sonate pour Flûte, alto et harpe ainsi que Germaine Tailleferre, la « Dame des Six »' Le jazz est également présent avec un dossier consacré à « Jazz et Orient » ainsi que quatre déclinaisons du standard Birdland.
