18 studies written to develop familiarity with the main types of scales and arpeggios in Jazz. More enjoyable than the scales themselves James Rae has deliberately chosen keys that give a comfortable user-friendly introduction to the various tonalities. Each section describes a particular type of scale and includes studies based on it. Included are: the major scale the dorian mode the mixolydian mode the minor pentatonic scale the jazz melodic minor scale the blues scale the chromatic scale the whole tone scale and the diminished scale. Studies in each of these volumes have been set as an alternative to scales for all grades on the Jazz Flute JazzClarinet and Jazz Saxophone syllabuses of the new Trinity Guildhall Examinations 2007.

There is a wide variety of style tempo articulation and expression which illustrate the basic vocabulary of Italian tempo and expressive instructions. Most of the studies involve the lower positions though some are to be played in both 2nd and 3rd positions. This volume is a comprehnsive guide that covers: Trill preparatory exercises harmonics mixed articulation accents measured tremolo and some double stops are encountered. The last four studies focus on 4th and 5th positions with the introduction of the treble clef.

Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Etudes et exercices / Répertoire / Saxophone Alto

Par FINE ELAINE. Although the practice of scales is essential to building and maintaining strength, technique, tone, and agility?it is very easy to slip into the habit of playing them automatically, without paying attention to how they sound or even being aware of what scale we are playing. The 29 single-page studies in this book are designed to combat that tendency as they are musically, intellectually, and rhythmically challenging.The first 24 studies proceeded through the circle of fifths and address all minor and relative major keys; the last 5 pieces were individually conceived, i.e., apart from the circle of fifths. Occasional fingerings or position guides are suggested but these are largely left to the student or their teachers. No metronome indications are given so that the etudes can be played at individually comfortable tempos?with or without a metronome, or freely as concert etudes. It is the stepwise motion and octave leaps of the etudes that makes the intervals between pitches easy to hear, even in keys with numerous flats or sharps.Just as in Elaine Fine?s more basic scale etude book, Violin Scale Tales, the names of the etudes herein refer to various animals that have scales, including insects, fish, birds, reptiles, a few species of squirrels with scales on their tails, and the solitary pangolin, the only known mammal whose entire body is covered with scales. Again, the author hopes that in addition to experiencing more enjoyable scale practice, students will be inspired to learn more about these amazing creatures, or even write scale studies of their own. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Etude / Violon

These studies have been written to provide the ambitious student with material with which to carry on beyond the point where most methods and study books leave off, after which point the player is either compelled to continue on his own or is left with the idea that, having conquered all of the material at hand, he is well equipped to enter the ranks of professional players. However, these days the demands made upon brass players are beyond anything contained in the older methods, material which, however necessary for the student to conquer during the first years of study, was certainly never intended to develop the player to the point of present-day demands upon his lip, tongue, and breath. The pieces in this book were written as studies, not as musical compositions, that include, in more or less profusion, such figures as the student will be apt to meet with during the course of an active career. The studies are generally tuneful and pleasant in character. This book is not intended for beginners or students who have not already developed a good technique and strong embouchure by their work in the methods such as Arban´s and St. Jacome´s. It is intended for advanced players who have gone beyond the ordinary material and who are looking for exercises with which to develop higher register, extra technique and extra familiarity with the keys.
