Concerned with how, as well as what, to play, Whole Notes is both a piano method book and, more importantly, a guidebook to accompany the reader's personal journey into music. Posture, practicing, mental and physical health, using weight and force, economy of movement, and expression are some of the topics addressed. These themes are amply explored through detailed piano arrangements of Armen Donelian's compositions, and they are clearly connected to principles of physics, anatomy, and holistic development as well as music theory, rhythm, analysis and composition. These themes and principles are of universal interest to all musicians. As a practical inquiry, Whole Notes offers many options for creatively applying and integrating them for individual use. For this reason, the needs of non-pianists are also discussed.

Global Groove by Rolf Zielke is a practical rhythm compendium of odd meters ranging from 5/8 to 25/16. Each piece is accompanied by exercises in three levels---basic patterns, polyrhythms, and polymetrics---which can be played to a practice track. The complete arrangement can be heard twice on the MP3 CD: as a full version (with the author on piano and Mustafa Boztüy on oriental percussion), and as a play-along track. All patterns and pieces are designed to inspire the player to improvise, to develop their ability to interact in a band, and to create new arrangements and compositions in their favorite style of music.
