The 2020 Ukulele syllabus extends Rockschool's offering to a full suite of grades. The syllabus has been designed in conjunction with their new Ukulele Method books, giving students a comprehensive pathway from absolute beginner stages through to entry into the graded system, and subsequently following a progressive pathway through to grade 8. The syllabus features six tracks for each grade that have been meticulously benchmarked to support students as they learn the instrument. At each grade, two of the pieces offer the students an opportunity to perform without full band backing, exploring the sound and resonance of their instrument. These include duet parts from Debut toGrade 3, which give further opportunities for teaching and group learning. The remaining tracks are ‘session style’ backing tracks, performed with full backing band and including vocal accompaniment which is also shown in the notation as a melody line and lyric over the main ukulele part.

The viol player Diego Ortiz, who was musical director at the court of the Spanish viceroy in Naples in the mid-16th century, wrote a textbook which became authoritative for the art of improvisation during the Renaissance. This textbook contains pieces with written improvisations in the tradition of the Renaissance period. Although the writing of improvisations was a contradiction in terms even then, Ortiz' pieces are excellent textbooks for the study of the structures and rules of this art.

This series of easy piano music for teaching purposes presents pupils in the lower and lower middle grades with a carefully chosen selection of well-known and lesser-known compositions by important masters. The volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. There are four existing harpsichord books with a total of 226 compositions by Francois Couperin le Grand (1668 -1733). His works are as unknown to pianists as they are famous among harpsichord players. The grace and imaginativeness of his works lend themselves especially well to the sound of the harpsichord, which is why the piano interpretation of works by Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti and other composers of that time has been categorically rejected. But, after all, the works of Bach and Handel were written for the haipsichord and clavichord, and no one would dare question their intetpretation on the pianoforte. In order to introduce these lmpressionists of the Baroque Era to piano instruction, the editor has added to this series a folio of both Couperin's and Rameau's (EB 8033) music. The selection of the pieces is based on two criteria: 1. relatively modest demands made on technique, 2. various musical forms of expression. The Butterflies and the Windmills are both especially typical of masterful character pieces. The demands made on technique certainly correspond to a level of moderate difficulty. The simplifications made are restricted to the artistically realized twopart accompaniment (eg. p. 4 f. and p. 8 f.) with regard to finger stretch and to the profuse ornamentation of the original. The indications for phrasing and articulation are those of the editor. The first two pieces have been precisely elaborated on in this respect to serve as a model, whereas the remaining pieces contain only suggestions. As in other folios of this series; what is here to be stressed, is the importance of working out independently the phrasing and the dynamics. Directions for this are given by the respective footnotes; these directions, however, are not obligatory. lndications pertaining to dynamics and tempo have been omitted completely; the clearly recognizable character of the individual pieces should be direction enough. The tonal possibilities of the piano should in any case be used subtly. The very precise fingerings have been adapted to the suggested phrasings and to the corresponding realization of trills (according to the table). Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Spring 1980.

Playstrings is an ideal introduction to orchestral playing for young string players.

List en to Scandinavia er et samarbejdsprojekt mellem tre nordiske konservatorielærere , Brita Bremberg (Stockholm), Gro Shetelig Kruse (Oslo) og Mette Stig Nielsen (Odense), som underviser i hørelære,aud itiv analyse og musikpædagogik.

Den nordiske musik fører i al almindelighed et usynligt og uhørligt liv i musikundervisningen - såvel i lærebøgerne som i klasseværelserne.En dvidere mangler der pædagogiske værktøjer og metoder til undervisning i partiturmusik fra det 20. århundrede, næsten al klassisk musikpædagogik er bygget op omkring vesteuropæiskmusikf ra 1700- og 1800-tallet.

I denne bog har vi derfor udarbejdet et undervisningsmateriale, der kan bruges på gymnasier, seminarier, MGK- kurser, musikkonservatorier, universiteter og andre steder, hvor derundervises i musik, musikteori, musikhistorie og musikpædagogik. Vi håber, at den nyere og nye nordiske musik vil blive brugt til intensiv lytning, hørelære, formlære, musikanalyse bl.a. gennem detforeliggende materiale, og at musiklærere og studerende vil kunne blive inspireret af vores spørgsmål i opgaverne og vores forskellige ideer til grafisk partitur, fri tegning og improvisation..

Detmusikalske materiale er et rigt udvalg af musik fra Danmark, Norge, Sverige, Finland, Færøerne og Island, og repræsenterer musik fra årene 1900-1919, 1920-1939, 1940-1959, 1960-1979 og 1980-2003.

Det ligger udenfor mulighederne i denne bog at omtale alle de betydningsfulde komponister som de nordiske lande har fostret. Musikeksemplerne er udvalgt, så de tilsammen giver et bredt indtryk af den nordiske musik efterår 1900 og ud fra deres kunstneriske og pædagogiske potentiale.

BOGENS METODE
Bogen er baseret på den idé, at man ved at lytte mange gange med skiftende fokus på et musikstykke kanudvikle evnen til at.

A lively and exhilarating new piece for beginning string groups, Effervescence lives up to its title but is so much more. It also contains lush harmonies, sweeping melodic gestures reminiscent of the America school of composers like Copland.  It is a sophisticated musical presentation, but with limited technical demands, making it easy for young students, but very musically satisfying.
Effervesce nce is commonly known as the act of a gas escaping a liquid and the “fizzing” result that occurs. A secondary definition, however, is a show of liveliness or exhilaration. It is this secondary definition that is the inspiration for this piece.The piece begins with a broad, sweeping introduction followed by a statement of the main theme in the first Violins at m. 11. The second Violins perform the melody at m. 19, while the first Violins perform a countermelody which morphs into the main idea of the B-section that follows at m. 27. The Celli and Bass restate the main theme at m. 35, while the upper strings provide a sweeping harmony with a somewhat “Americana” feel.  After a restatement of the B-section at m. 43, a subdued section with new material occurs at m. 51. This pushes into a final restatement of the main theme at m. 59 and leads to a vibrant conclusion, followed by a pianissimo afterthought.
