Par SLATER ALEC. With this volume, the reader is pleasantly surprised with two books in one- Section One by Alec Slater, and Section Two by Lisa Schmitz. Alec's portion is intended as a guide for the clawhammer or frailing banjo player with some previous experience in this style. He stresses the fact that this style of music can be fully learned only from within the oral tradition in which it grew. The instruction included here is meant to provide a review, and not to take the place of qualified teacher. Alec recommends that '...anyone wanting to get this playing right, should find someone in your area who plays and have him/her teach you. Listen to it, watch it, and make it your own.' In Section Two, Lisa Schmits presents an extensive collection of 163 jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes, strathspeys, waltzes, and songs from Ireland, Scotland, the Shetland Islands, Cape Breton, New England and Southern Appalachia for banjo solo. The national origin of each tune is indicated. Lisa offers personal, authoritative settings of a great variety of tunes at an intermediate level. Written in tablature only. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Old Time - Solos / Tablatures / Banjo Tablatures à 5 Cordes

This title is slightly more advanced than other Easiest Tune Books but the waltzes have been arranged quite simply for young pianists. The left hand is entirely in the five-finger position. There are no key-signatures allsharps and flats are placed in front of the notes requiring them.

Romantic piano music is particulary suitable for awakening and encouraging the pupil's desire to play with expression. In Volumes 2 and 3 of The European Piano Method (ED 7931, 7932, 7933) this expressive, cantabile playing is particularly encouraged. The two romantic supplementary books are specifically intended to further these qualities.
All the great masters of the Romantic era, from Schubert to Reger, are represented by small yet typical pieces. There are no pieces from Schumann's 'Album for the Young' as the complete album is essential teaching material. / Partition /

Waltzes, Polkas, Tangos, Hornpipes, Two-Steps And More!. Par BOLLERUD BRUCE. Bienvenue au monde de la musique accordéon international.

Ils sont foule plaire et ils sont amusants à jouer. J'ai joué la plupart de ces chansons dans les différentes bandes que j'ai joué au fil des ans. Ces mélodies ont résisté à l'épreuve du temps, jusqu'à ce que vous attendent ? Ouvrez le livre, sortez vos accordéon et Let's play some music ! Un mot au sujet de ces chansons : apprendre généralement une chanson et de jouer ensuite par coeur par la mémoire, par opposition à jouer par la lecture d'une feuille de musique. Je crois que cela permet une expression plus personnelle et interprétation qui peut être affectée par la réponse de l'auditoire ou la façon dont je me sens à l'époque. Vous remarquerez que sur la plupart des représentations sur le CD, je n'a pas joué des répétitions.
