Basic Recorder Technique - Volume 1

The Physiology Of Guitar Playing: Functional Anatomy And Physiomechanics-This comprehensive guide to the physiology of Guitar playing is the culmination of three decades of deep exploration of the guitarist's playing mechanism and is the most detailed presentation of Ricardo Iznaola'sthinking about these matters to date. Structured in three chapters Chapter 1 surveys basic anatomy and physiology of the upper limb with additional sections discussing general pedagogical considerations. Chapter 2 devoted to the right hand presents detailed information regarding digital joint behavior in general and as applied in actual activity on the guitar as well as introducing an analytical system to study and describe positionalattitudes or `frames' adopted by the hand in the course of playing. Chapter 3 discusses at length left-hand physiomechanics taking the concepts of shifting and mobility as fundamental categories encompassing all aspects ofleft-hand technique. Twenty-six anatomical figures over fifty photos and more than sixty musical examples with access to online video amply illustrate the text. 'In the spirit of ground-breaking scientific pioneers celebrated performer and pedagogue Ricardo Iznaola offers the guitar world the first volume of Summa Kitharologica a comprehensive and highly insightful examination of guitar technique in a remarkable mixture of soaring eruditionand down-to-earth practical and applicable approaches to the instrument. Like a modern-day Charles Darwin of the guitar his insatiable passion for discovery keen eye of the `naturalist' and relentless analytical mind havecarefully and methodically recorded previously little-known or little-recognized observations relationships and nuances about the natural principles at work in artful guitar playing. For guitar instructors serious students andeven advanced performers who desire to go beyond the `what' of guitar technique and delve into its `whys' and `hows' this may well be the definitive text.' - Henry Adams former editor Guitar and Lute

An instructional video that starts from the beginning! Clawhammer From Scratch begins as though you really have NO knowledge of how to play the five string banjo clawhammer style. Beginning at the beginning, Dan presents a brief history of the 5-string banjo then goes over the parts of the banjo, holding the banjo, right and left hand styles and his basic clawhammer strum. Even the strum is broken down into the steps of the finger and thumb. Based on Dan's innovative Meet the Banjo(TM) program where Dan brings 15 banjos and teaches players who may have never held a banjo, this video assumes no prior experience. Using one tune, Spotted Pony, you are guided through the chords, the scale and then the individual notes of the tune. This video ends with a few tips and frequently asked questions and even a chance for YOU to play with the fiddle and guitar just like in a private jam session. If you have been looking for that one instructional recording to get you started, this is the one for you. If you already have many books or videos but still can't seem to get the basics, this is the one for you, too! A 2-page pamphlet is included. Picking up where Volume 1 left off, in Volume 2 you will learn to capo up to D tuning, review the basics of the Double Thumb Pony, then head off into the banjo world by learning to drop thumb, hammer-on, pull-off, and slide your way into the Full Blown Pony. Just as in Volume 1, you are guided through the chords, the scale, and then the individual notes of the tune as well as each of the techniques that make Old Time Southern Appalachian clawhammer banjo music as exciting as you have heard. Each technique is taught, then applied to the tune and repeated in easily learnable segments. This video even gives you a chance to play banjo with the fiddle and guitar just like in a real jam session. Booklet included. / Banjo (5 Cordes) / niveau : Débutant/Intermédiaire / 2-Dvd Set - Format: 7,5 X 5,25

The clarinet method op. 63 by Carl Baermann from 1867 is still a standard work in classical clarinet education today. The thoroughly revised new edition aims at reviewing the educational concept, which is still valid today, for modern lessons, adjusting the music and texts, and sensibly complementing the teaching contents.The editor who draws on many years of experience as a clarinettist in an orchestra and university lecturer of clarinet has succeeded in adapting the valuable teaching material to the requirements of today while maintaining the basic methodology. The result is a total of 7 volumes:Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (ED 21761, ED 21762)Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, with 2 CDs each (ED 21761-50, ED 21762-50): The CDs contain the piano accompaniment for the performance pieces, with and without clarinetTune Book 1 and 2 (ED 21763, ED 21764): piano score of the method's performance pieces, with additional inserted clarinet partDaily Exercises (ED 21765): systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, complemented and published separately from the original methodDue to trilingual nature of all editions (German, English, French), they can be used universally.About the revision:The musical text is based on the first edition of the method. Only a few differences concerning the articulation as well as some misprints and typographical errors were revised. By deleting the historical fingering instructions for the German fingering system, the clarinet method not only has a clean and, compared to the original, more clearly structured layout, but can also be used universally. The content of the text and the performance directions of the original were linguistically modernized and occasionally extended by further ideas from the teaching practice, such as concepts for warming up, breathing exercises, literature suggestions or tips for daily practising. Further additions of scale and triad studies in all major and minor keys make this method a comprehensive and thorough work of study which not only serves as teaching material for young and adult beginners, but is also a valuable compendium of scale exercises and studies for advanced musicians and is ideal for training velocity and dexterity.The Clarinet Method Vols. 1 and 2 contain not only scales and technical fingering exercises but also Baermann's popular performance pieces, like Romanze (No. 14), which are ideal as performance pieces, yet at the same time train both technique and musical expressiveness. The systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, however, were removed and are published separately in the volume Daily Exercises (ED 21765) for reasons of clarity.The two textbooks are available with or without CDs. The editions with CDs contain two audio CDs each which were recorded live by the editor and which contain a classic audio version of each performance piece as well as a pure piano version for playing along. / Clarinette
