Par DUNCAN CRAIG. This book presents a general survey of American fiddling. The author's intent is to teach the basics of fiddling by beginning with essential bowings and fingerings, and progressing from simple to more complex renditions of tunes. As fiddling is an aural tradition and fiddlers from different parts of the country play a given tune in many ways, tunes included in this book are offered only as themselves. The author has attempted to present usable fingerings, bowings and explanations of each of the 49 tunes in this book. The end result is the most widely-used fiddle method available! The CD is in split-track format, allowing the fiddler to play with the fiddle solo, guitar and/or fiddle accompaniment, or both! Contains every tune in the book. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Bluegrass - Methods / Méthode / Violon

Rhythm patterns covered on this Cajon Method - LATINO DVD: Bolero, Cha Cha Cha, Songo, Afro, Guaguanco, Mrengu, Reggae, Samba and Reggaeton. Daniy Moreno proposes the cajon as an alternative and complement of the drum kit, not as a substitute but an alternative for performances in small venues where using the drums becomes a problem of room. One can also take advantage of the similar low-high sound that the cajon shares with the drum and the bass drum. The method consists in a DVD book format structured in three parts: 1 - Cajon Technique and exercises 2 - Study of the patterns and variations of styles from Bolero, Cha Cha Cha, Songo, Afro, Guaguanco, Mrengu, Reggae, Samba and Reggaeton 3 - Musical themes mixing all patterns studied In each part there are multiple video and audio options, showing in detail all percussion instruments used and the choice of audio depending on the instrument you want to follow, or the combination of them all. The book includes all the exercises and explanations on the DVD contents.

Timba: Modern Cuban Conga Rhythms. Par CRUZ TOMAS. Volume III is the first educational product to tackle the complex subject of Timba, the new musical genre which has been played in Cuba since 1989. Timba represents a quantum leap for all the instruments of the rhythm section and especially the congas. The recordings of Tomás Cruz are considered the most advanced examples of Timba conga-playing and so fascinated the three coauthors that they sought out Tomás Cruz and spent a year and a half studying his style and meticulously documenting it before even considering the idea of publishing it. After many hundreds of hours of passionate research, this 'labor of love' eventually reached fruition as Volume III. Volumes II and I were then written to trace the roots of the style and to understand the path Tomás took to arrive at his phenomenal level of technical mastery and rhythmic creativity. Much more than a collection of patterns or exercises, Volume III analyzes Timba arrangements from beginning to end, explaining the role of the congas in each section, the relationship to the 'clave', and Tomasito's creative process, including an exercise which teaches the reader to invent his own Timba conga parts. It was the intricacies of the material of Volume III which inspired the creation of the Step by Step DVD Method, which enables the reader to learn these exciting new rhythms in a fraction of the time it would take working with only written music and audio recordings. / Niveau : Avancé / Latin American - Methods / Méthode / Conga
