For the song Dinosaur, Armstrong writes that ?You will want to create a very scary atmosphere?The right hand note heads are strange bird calls in the forest. The left hand Ds, Es and Fs are the dinosaur??. The care that has been put into creating this sheet music shows that Armstrong is acutely aware of the best way for students to learn, and that she truly wants students to learn effectively, but in a fun and light-hearted way.Each song in Toy Box occupies a single page making it easy for a player to track their progress and learning, while there are additional helpful bits of information peppered throughout to clarify anything that may be unfamiliar to the student. Armstrong is keen on developing a student's ear for tone and atmosphere, so these extra notes not only reinforce how to play the piece physically, but also how to include emotion and feeling in music, for example how to conjure imagery like that of Blowing Bubbles. The songbook will be perfect for a child who already understands basic musical terms, will be able to play in a few keys other than C Major and is able to play in simple time signatures. As a first step into new compositions, Toy Box will introduce new concepts as well as reinforce what a student is already accustomed to, nevertheless, Armstrong's message is clear - ?Have fun!?. / Piano

The Belgian composer Nicholas Lens presents extremely varied etudes, exercises and simple phrases with wonderfully telling titles from poetry and everyday world for children and adults. For the most part the studies are tonal and simple and have no constructed line. They are not based on any educational concept but leave the musical dramatization to the pupils and teachers: 'Notes and rhythms are just notes and rhythms, they do not have that many rules, they do not have any pretension, they are just tools for you to use to express what you want to share'. / Date parution : 2016-11-20/ Etude / Piano

Fifty years. 350 million readers in 75 countries. 2 600 newspapers in 21 languages. Four feature films and over 60 beloved TV specials. One cast of characters: Peanuts?. Lovingly rendered by the late Charles Schulz Peanuts is much more than a simple comic strip. Charlie Brown Linus Lucy and of course Snoopy have sneaked into our psyche and become international symbols of purity and happiness. Schulz created the characters but it was the music of Vince Guaraldi that gave them life. Pre-Peanuts Bay Area pianist and composer Guaraldi was best known for penning the standard ?Cast Your Fate to the Wind ? but his own fate would soon change; when producer LeeMendelson solicited him to score a documentary on Schulz and subsequent television specials Guaraldi's music became inextricably linked with Peanuts. Through the swinging beats of ?Linus & Lucy? on the soundtrack to A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the festive refrains on the holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas he and his trio introduced millions of people to jazz in the mid-'60s and far beyond. Now for the first time available with easy Piano arrangements this coffee-table quality songbook is a celebration of the art of Charles Schulz and the music of Vince Guaraldi. Within its stunning full-color high-gloss pages are: an introduction by veteran music journalist Hank Bordowitz which provides background on how the Schulz/Mendelson/Guaraldi collaboration came to be and reflections from fellow musicians influenced by Guaraldi's music; and Piano solo arrangements of 30 terrific tunes each featuring a Peanuts illustration by Schulz. The songs include: Baseball Theme Blue Charlie Brown The Christmas Song Christmas Time Is Here Frieda (With the Naturally Curly Hair) Great Pumpkin Waltz Happiness Theme Linus and Lucy Oh Good Grief The Pebble Beach Theme Peppermint Patty Red Baron Schroeder Skating and more. This book will be an absolute treasure for any Peanuts or jazz fan!
