Transformational Piano Teaching: Mentoring Students from All Walks
of Life examines the concept of the piano teacher as someone who is
more than just a teacher of a musical skill, but also someone who
wields tremendous influence on the development of a young person's
artistic and empathic potential, as well as their lifelong personal
motivational framework. The specific attributes of today's students
are explored, including family and peer influences from
interpersonal relationships to social media. Additionally, students
from specific circumstances are discussed, including those with
special needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and
Depression. Finally, motivation of a teacher's students is related
to a teacher's own motivation in their work, as a cycle of
positivity and achievement will be recommended as a way to keep an
instructor's work fresh and exciting.

For many beginning-to-intermediate level guitarists, guitar tunings
are a mystery. Everyone begins with "standard" tuning and knows its
basic strengths - and limitations. But, once a guitarist gets
beyond basic skills, the desire to play in different styles and
achieve individual sounds leads inevitably to exploring alternate
tunings.
"Guitar Tunings: A Comprehensive Guide" is the first book to offer
practical advice for how to use the most common special tunings for
the greatest creative and musical effect. Illustrated throughout
with examples in standard notation and guitar tablature, the author
introduces different musical styles through the use of appropriate
tunings. Including an audio CD, this book gives clear and concise
instruction for the guitarist who has mastered basic skills but
wants to go beyond them. It will appeal to guitar students of all
ages, and can be used for individual self-instruction or in
one-on-one or group teaching situations.
In short, "Guitar Tunings: A Comprehensive Guide" offers a
comprehensive approach for all guitarists to enhance their playing
skills and creative music making.

(Guitar). The 2,000 licks in this book are organized into 36
chapters. These chapters explore the different pitches, rhythms,
techniques, and methods of phrasing found in blues and
blues-influenced guitar solos and fills. Use these licks to deliver
heavy, yet ear-catching riffs. These can be played along with the
43 backing tracks included on the 3 CDs that come with this book.
They are all written in the key of a C blues, while the backing
tracks are played in the keys of E, A, D, G, C, F, and Bb. A handy
table is included that shows how to transpose up or down from C to
other blues keys. The backing tracks (performed by a live band in a
studio) are all in the 12-bar blues form, but the licks do not
necessarily have to be played over specific chords in the
progression.
(Fretted). Classical ukulele player Tony Mizen has arranged 22 of
the best-loved pieces from the Baroque era for reentrant GCEA

All arrangements feature ukulele tablature and standard notation.
Includes an overview of the music of the Baroque era and notes on
each of the individual pieces. The CD contains beautiful
performances of all of the arrangements by Mizen.
As the 1970s gave way to the 80s, New York's party scene entered a
ferociously inventive period characterized by its creativity,
intensity, and hybridity. Life and Death on the New York Dance
Floor chronicles this tumultuous time, charting the sonic and
social eruptions that took place in the city's subterranean party
venues as well as the way they cultivated breakthrough movements in
art, performance, video, and film. Interviewing DJs, party hosts,
producers, musicians, artists, and dancers, Tim Lawrence
illustrates how the relatively discrete post-disco, post-punk, and
hip hop scenes became marked by their level of plurality,
interaction, and convergence. He also explains how the shifting
urban landscape of New York supported the cultural renaissance
before gentrification, Reaganomics, corporate intrusion, and the
spread of AIDS brought this gritty and protean time and place in
American culture to a troubled denouement.
With a host of accessible, quality new settings, and with pieces
based on all the major hymn tunes, these volumes are a must for
every church organist's library.
This volume contains valuable practice material for candidates
preparing for the ABRSM Grade 6 Piano exams. The book is written in
attractive and approachable styles and representative of the
technical level expected in the exam.
