This easy step-by-step method emphasizes correct playing habits and
note reading through interval recognition. Lesson Book 3 introduces
"overlapping pedal"; new time signatures 3/8 and 6/8; and the
primary triads in Major and Minor keys. Concepts include: passing
one under two and one under three; playing major scales in contrary
motion; the chromatic scale; the minor scale.
For reinforcement of each principle as it is introduced,
supplementary material is carefully coordinated, page for page, at
each level of instruction. Coordinating supplemental books for
Level 3 include: Classic Themes * Composition * Duet * Ear Training
* Ensemble * Fun * Hymn * Merry Christmas * Merry Christmas
Ensemble * Musical Concepts * Notespeller * Patriotic Solo *
Recital * Repertoire * Sight Reading * Technic * Theory and Top

One of the most remarkable tales of recent resurrections in the
field of early keyboard music concerns the music of Heinrich
Scheidemann (c. 1595-1663). Long considered a minor master
overshadowed by such figures as his teacher Jan Pieterszoon
Sweelinck or his fellow student Samuel Scheidt, a number of major
source discoveries made in the second half of the twentieth century
- the most important one being the discovery of the Zellerfield
tablatures - have gradually raised his stature towards what it
should now be, namely that of the paramount figure in North German
organ music of the first half of the seventeenth century, equalled
only by Buxtehude in the second half. Pieter Dirksen, one of the
leading scholars on early German keyboard music, shows how
Scheidemann was a central personality in the rich musical life of
Hamburg and stood on friendly terms with colleagues such as Jacob
and Johannes Praetorius, Ulrich Cernitz, Thomas Selle, Johann Schop
and Johann Rist. The sources for Scheidemann are for the most part
contemporary and stem from all periods of his career, and beyond
that until one or two decades after his death.His keyboard music
was never published in his lifetime but circulated widely within
professional circles. Dirksen considers the transmission of
Scheidemann's music as a whole in Part One, where each source is
analyzed individually, and the repertoire itself is examined in
Part Two. A number of specialized studies, including a detailed
investigation into the background of one of the sources as well as
adressing questions of organology (an account of the famous
Catharinen organ as it was during Scheidemann's era) and
performance practice (a study of the fingering indications and
observations on registration practice) form Part Three. A wealth of
appendices also detail a relative chronology of the music; a
geographic overview of the transmission and two hitherto
unpublished, fragmentarily transmitted Scheidemann pieces. The book
will therefore appeal to organologists, harpsichordists,
musicologists and historians of seventeenth-century German music as
well as historians of keyboard music.
The perfect companion to Piano & Keyboard Chords, Advanced
Piano Chords is a handy resource for those who feel they are ready
to take the next step. The simple and clean layout provides 15
chords per key, with positions for left and right hand, covering
majors, minors, 9ths, augmented 5ths, diminished 9ths, 11ths, 13ths
and add 9ths. Ideal for playing genres such as jazz and musical
theatre, this no-nonsense, easy-to-carry, spiral-bound book will
fit into a gig bag, flight case or handbag with the minimum of fuss
and will help musicians become more accomplished pianists.
(Faber Piano Adventures ). 64 pages of fun-filled activities
support the music learning process. Reading steps on the staff is a
primary focus of Book B. The inventive Writing Book guides young
players in reading, hearing and creating with steps on the Grand
Staff. Teachers will welcome the special "C.L.A.P. for
Sightreading" pages, designed to reinforce and celebrate
note-reading. Students touch on music history with Mozart's and
Beethoven's Fun Facts and Games and take a peek into Beethoven's
Composing Room. Tucker, Blinker and Tap return with ear-training,
sightreading, and rhythm fun. Then there is also the Tooth Fairy
Visit, Rhythm Beads, Escape of the Quarter Notes... and much more.

Schoenberg's Op.23 for solo piano, written between 1920 and 1923,
represented a move from his atonal music of the preceding twelve
years to 12-note music. In this analysis of the five pieces which
make up Op.23, Kathryn Bailey discusses the ways in which
Schoenberg clearly explores new ideas in these pieces in the
context of his old style. Op.23 marked the development of a new way
of organizing pitches and establishing centres of gravity in the
absence of tonality; but it was also an extension of what had gone
before. While moving on from Op.23 was not a big step for
Schoenberg, it represented a climacteric in the history of musical
composition. It was a long time before anyone outside of
Schoenberg's circle would be able to see past the revolutionary
idea of composing from a single pre-determined arrangement of the
12 notes of the chromatic scale to notice that in most ways this
New Music answered the same conditions and fulfilled the same
expectations that music had for generations.
A new addition to the successful Michael Aaron Piano Course lesson
books. These new Performance books are centered around Michael
Aaron's original Lesson books and are focused on his original
teaching concepts.

(Faber Piano Adventures ). The 2nd Edition Level 1 Lesson Book
introduces all the notes of the grand staff, elementary chord
playing, and the concept of tonic and dominant notes. Students play
in varied positions, reinforcing reading skills and recognizing
intervals through the 5th. Musicianship is built with the
introduction of legato and staccato touches. This level continues
the interval orientation to reading across the full range of the
Grand Staff. The 5-finger approach is presented here in a fresh,
musically appealing way.
