Elissa Milne, Australian-based composer, teacher, and writer. Each
book is filled with fun jazz pieces that can be used both as
pedagogical studies and as repertoire pieces. Very Easy Little

standard required for the first exam. The pieces have been written
with the young pianist in mind, avoiding leaps that are difficult
for small hands and incorporating suitably short and lighthearted

techniques. Technique is developed alongside musicality, helping
young players to move towards grade exams and the other books in
the series.
In Great Songwriting Techniques, veteran composer and teacher Jack
Perricone shares years of experience in the art, science, and
pedagogy of songwriting to teach readers the craft. Whether they
write for a small group of friends or in the hopes of creating a
smash hit, aspiring songwriters can learn how to focus on topics
essential to their success in this competitive field; every
songwriter must be aware of audience, thick-skinned enough to
handle rejection and competition, and most importantly have the
confidence to master the craft of composing and producing.
Perricone teaches readers to accomplish this through a targeted
series of lessons on key elements of songwriting from building
blocks like melody, harmony, and rhythm to more advanced topics
like lyric placement and tone texture. Chapters explore loop-based
harmonic patterns, tone tendencies, form, function, and lyric
writing, all in service of preparing the aspiring songwriter to be
a master of prosody and keen in understanding the relationship
between words and music. The volume includes examples of
exceptional songwriting from well-known artists such as Irving
Berlin, Prince, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, and
Taylor Swift.

evidence of Purcell's career - the music manuscripts of his own
hand and those copied by his colleagues. Robert Shay and Robert
Thompson offer a richly illustrated study of Purcell's sources,
examining in detail the physical features of the manuscripts as
well as their musical content. Their survey sheds light on the
chronology of composition and copying of Purcell's works and
reassesses the place of extant autographs in his musical
development. Major sources are fully catalogued, providing
information about the context in which Purcell's music was
collected and performed, and his handwriting is more closely
examined than ever before. The book represents a significant
reference tool for scholars, applying a forensic approach that
greatly enriches our knowledge of the composer and the music of his
time.
