Drummers need to be able to practice, but many times it needs to happen away from the kit, either at low volume or while on the go. Vic Firth's Single-sided Practice Pads set the standard high for drumming practice with a portable, soft rubber pad that helps keep your chops sharp, whether you're perfecting a new piece of music, or working on stick control. Even when played with full force at the loudest dynamic, this pad absorbs the blows and controls the volume for longer and later practice, giving your wrists a complete workout. The natural playing surface provides the realistic feel and response of a drumhead with excellent rebound. Play on any surface, drum or right in your lap. The durable wooden base and underside grip keep this pad in place. The 12″ size also fits most snare stands for convenient practice. The trademark Vic Firth logo is printed on top, showing the world you're playing with the right feel. Made in the USA.

Now finally in English too: The third part of the organ method Historical Performance Practice in Organ Playing follows on from part two with contributions by Guy Bovet (on Jehan Alain), Hans-Ola Ericsson, Anders Ekenberg, Markus Rupprecht (Olivier Messiaen), Hans Fagius (Maurice Durufle), Jeremy Filsell (Marcel Dupre), Bernhard Haas (Arnold Schonberg, Ernst Krenek, John Cage, Gyorgy Ligeti, and others, plus the latest developments) and Armin Schoof (neoclassicism). As in the first two parts of the organ method, here too a representative selection of composers is discussed. Alongside mainly personal recollections (e.g. from Hans Fagius) there are analytical essays (including by Jeremy Filsell). Bernhard Haas has organised one section of his text as an introduction to the playing techniques and aesthetics of new music, beginning with pieces which are easy to play. This English edition contains new chapters by Kevin Bowyer (The Development of New Organ Music in Britain / Contemporary Organ Music in North America). Laukvik's organ method Historical Performance Practice in Organ Playing has now become established as a standard work. It is aimed at organists who want to incorporate the latest thinking on historical performance practice into their interpretations of works. The three volumes provide a practical introduction in a detailed, scholarly and comprehensible form, by giving organists as precise a picture of the interpretative traditions and aims of previous and modern/ contemporary eras as possible. The editions are aimed not only at organists, but also at organ teachers who are looking for a manual to use in their teaching.

In 'Microphone Practice', Norbert Pawera, a qualified sound engineer and microphone specialist, explains in clear and simple language the difference between the various types of microphone, filling in the scientific background and examining the interaction between instruments, room acoustics and microphones. The emphasis of the book is upon the choice and positioning of microphones in the studio and on stage, whether for classical music, jazz or rock. The author offers practical solutions to a whole range of commonly encountered problems - from the miking of lead vocals to the recording of whole choirs, from the spot-miking of individual instruments to stereo recording techniques for the entire orchestra - as well as reaching deep into his bag of tricks for ideas that should give even the experienced recording engineer food for thought. At the back, there's an overview of today's microphone market, designed to guide the consumer through the myriad of available solutions. 'Microphone Practice' spares performers and sound engineers alike the time-consuming and costly hazards of trial-and-error. With its practical approach and clear layout, 'Microphone Practice' is designed not just as a textbook but also as a quick source of reference for the sound check or the studio.

This short introductory text to the practice of figured bass for guitarists certainly has no claim to discuss the topic thoroughly. It arose both from the desire to share practical experience gained in the field and from a pedagogical concern towards young guitar students.As can be seen from the Introduction, an initial practical knowledge of the figured bass performed on the guitar can help the student to develop a greater awareness of the harmonic possibilities of the instrument and to fill that gap which is too often visible between the theoretical-harmonic knowledge acquired in the theory courses and instrumental practice.The practical examples provided in this text also arise from the authorsâ didactic experience gained from teaching this subject in the conservatories of Bologna and Rovigo.
