The interest in piano and the desire to play, has increased tremendously in the past few years. Especially is this noticeable among adults who have either had some elementary piano instruction in their youth or have been denied this study for various reasons. This increased interest is partly due to the widespread influence of radio. Hearing music almost daily has become an integral part of our lives and it is this constant influence which has awakened a keen and natural desire to become an active participant. it is to the furtherance and stimulation of this natural desire that this course was planned. The adult approach has been kept constantly in mind, however not to the exclusion of certain basic principles which are necessary in order to make rapid and satisfactory progress. The logical and stepwise manner of progression in this course should prove of inestimable aid to both the student and teacher.

From Grammy-winning musical icon and legendary bassist Victor L. Wooten comes The Music Lesson, the story of a struggling young musician who wanted music to be his life, and who wanted his life to be great. Then, from nowhere it seemed, a teacher arrived. Part musical genius, part philosopher, part eccentric wise man, the teacher would guide the young musician on a spiritual journey, and teach him that the gifts we get from music mirror those from life, and every movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning...All you have to do is find the song inside.

Schirmer | August 7, 1997 | English | PDF | 270 pages | 22.5 MB

This text is a practical guide to the compositional techniques, resources, and technologies available to composers today. Each chapter traces the development of traditional and modern elements that form the foundation of music in the late twentieth century. Among the subjects discussed are interval exploration, serialism, pitch-class sets, twelve-tone music, electronic music, algorithmic composition, and indeterminacy.

Based loosely on the author's earlier New Music Composition (Schirmer Books, 1977), this new book is designed to be a practical guide to the compositional techniques, resources, and technologies available to composers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Indispensable as a ready reference for composers and scholars, Techniques is also an excellent introduction to the motives, ideas, and styles behind contemporary music. Beginning with a general survey of 19th century harmonic and melodic techniques, each chapter traces the development the traditional and modern elements that form the underpinning of music in the late twentieth century. Among the subjects discussed are interval exploration, serialism, pitch-class sets, and twelve tone as well as electronic music, algorithimic composition, indeterminacy, and much more. With a logical, step-by-step approach supplemented by over 300 musical examples and an extensive bibliography, Techniques of the Contemporary Composer is an excellent source for practicing composers and students of modern music alike. David Cope is professor of music at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He is the author of New Directions in Music and the composer of over eighty published musical pieces.

Originally published in the 1940s, Paul Hindemith's remakable textbooks are still the outstanding works of their kind. In contrast to many musical textbooks written by academic musicians, these were produced by a man who could play every instrument of the orchestra, could compose a satisfying piece for almost every kind of ensemble, and who was one of the most stimulating teachers of his day. It is therefore not surprising that nearly forty years later these books should remain essential reading for the student and the professional musician.

The Slap Bass Bible was published in 1995. This book is written in the style that I like to teach. I have never been big on studying exercises. My book is filled with grooves, not exercises, but if you play the grooves, you will get the exercise. That's the way I always liked to learn to play. Show me how I'm going to use what I'm practicing! I included drum grooves with every bassline, so you can program up your drum machine. The CD has me playing all the grooves and you should try to capture the feel I'm playing with and use your own interpretation. You can also use these grooves to get together and play with a drummer friend.

This book has been used by teachers at BIT, The University of Miami and North Texas to name a few.This book contains the most modern up-to-date styles of slap available. I divided the book into three chapters. The first concentrates on straight funk grooves. You will find grooves in the styles of 70's and 80's funk. The difference is in the modern fingerings used to play them. These fingerings will open up new ideas and help your playing sound fresh. The second chapter deals with only thumb grooves. There is not another book that deals with this aspect of slap playing. You'll be able to develop incredible thumb speed, which I feel is the true key to playing slap bass lines. The third chapter focuses on hip hop and shuffle grooves. All these grooves contain a level of swing that is truly hard to master.

Designed for courses in Music, this established text introduces the contrapuntal style of 17th and 18th century music through analysis and writing. While a limited understanding of contrapuntal elements may be gained through analysis alone, these elements are grasped in a more intimate way through the actual writing of contrapuntal examples. Also, by linking the study of counterpoint to music of a specific period, the text provides a clear model for students to emulate and a definite basis for the criticism of student work.

REH Publications | 1984 | English | PDF/MP3 | 17 pages | 30.7 MB

The philosophy of the REH HOTLINE SERIES is to give you a larger and varied vocabulary of licks and melodic ideas. Many guitarists want to have their own original style and feel they shouldn't copy licks from other players. In reality, it is a proven fact by most top ‘original’ players that it is very beneGcial, if not necessary', to study other players, learn their ideas, phrasing, etc. Some of the benefits of learning such lines are: Developing the ear - by playing and singing these lines you will soon ‘hear’and understand melodies and how they relate to chords; Building technique and confidence - the Hotlines are great for building chops and will also give you an arsenal of ideas to fall back on; Music theory - an understanding of improvising theory can be gained by learning and analyzing the lines which are built from scales, arpeggios and intervals.

Here are some suggestions to help you get the most out of the Hotlines:

• Play them in all keys and, if possible, in different octaves.

• Since many of the lines are written in simple 16th notes for quick learning, experiment by breaking them up rhythmically (syncopating) or phrasing them in different parts of the bar, etc.

• Feel free to add effects like: Hammer-ons, Pull-offs, slurs and bends.

• Experiment with the lines over chords different from the ones suggested.

• Although the author’s fingerings and positions are shown for each of the Hotlines, you may want to make some adjustments to make them more comfortable.

• The last and most important thing is to work the lines, in whole or in part, into your playing right away.

This is the first book to move beyond the details of Zappa's biography toward a focused treatment of his songs. Zappa worked in a musical realm unfamiliar to many radio listeners. Today, his music can be appreciated as a whole, emerging as a coherent, thoughtful, innovative—if somewhat daunting—body of work. Lowe has left no aspect of that work unexamined, from Zappa's role as a satirist of the highest order, to his place in the genre of progressive rock, and his importance as one of the foremost critics of American culture and society. Zappa's messages—musical and lyrical—may not always be clear, but they are well worth considering.

The volume begins with a discussion of Zappa's role as a satirist and a discussion of his musical style, and then proceeds to a prolonged examination of his albums. Through this extended engagement with Zappa's music, a surprisingly clear perspective on his personal views is also provided, shedding light on his treatment of such topics as the falsified notion of love in popular culture, the compromising influence of money on popular music, and the concept of freedom in a systematized society, among other things. The book also features an official discography and a bibliographic essay that discusses the current state of Zappa scholarship.
