(Easy Piano Personality). With a winning mix of pop sounds, country twang, and confessional lyrics, Speak Now is the highly anticipated follow-up to Taylor Swift's hugely successful sophomore release Fearless . This folio features easy piano arrangements of all 14 tracks from the celebrated songstress: Back to December * Better Than Revenge * Dear John * Enchanted * Haunted * Innocent * Last Kiss * Long Live * Mean * Mine * Never Grow Up * Sparks Fly * Speak Now * The Story of Us.
These 18 fun tunes for violin and piano are ideal for every party time and conjure up a variety of scenes and images to fire the young player's imagination. They are also skilfully written for beginners, with the shapes of tunes reinforcing basic fingering patterns and with simple matters gently presented. All the pieces are in first position with the fingers in the standard major key pattern, and the tunes cleverly exploit scale shapes to provide plenty of practice of this basic but essential finger-work. Some pieces concentrate on E-string or G-string notes; others include pizzicatos, simple two-note slurs or basic bow retakes. The easy piano parts provide a colourful and supportive accompaniment in a range of styles and moods, and adults and children alike will love the witty cartoons printed alongside some of the pieces. Many of the pieces are perfectly suited to ABRSM's Preparatory Test.
In The Craft of Piano Playing, master pianist Alan Fraser offers readers an original and comprehensive approach to piano technique, offering over 100 illustrations and a series of unique exercises to guide the reader. Drawing on his many years as a performer and teacher, his long-standing collaborations with pedagogue Phil Cohen and virtuoso Kemal Gekich, and his professional training in the Feldenkrais Method, Fraser introduces his truly innovative piano technique by * Teaching how to move your hands with greater sensitivity, power, and accuracy, and honing the skeletal alignments to help you access your innate, structural potency; * Linking your physical technique to musical expression, creating an "absolutely natural way of moving at the piano that is powerful, flexible, and musical" (Piano News, Germany); and * Keeping your hands healthy while avoiding the threats of tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, focal dystonia, and RSI. This revised second edition joins the DVD of the same name, his study guide, and his latest book, Honing the Pianistic Self-Image, in Alan Fraser's growing line of piano pedagogical materials. This edition includes new chapters, such as "Arm Rhythm" and "The Body's Support of Natural Finger Shape," updated material reflecting evolutions in Fraser's technical and pedagogical thinking, a "cleaner and leaner" literary style, and more extensive, better-organized tables of contents, with cross-references to corresponding chapters in the DVD.
