These easy-to-read, progressive exercises by Joanne Martin develop
a student's reading skills one stage at a time, with many
repetitions at each stage. I Can Read Music is designed as a first
note-reading book for students of string instruments who have
learned to play using an aural approach such as the Suzuki
MethodA(R), or for traditionally taught students who need extra
note reading practice. Its presentation of new ideas is clear
enough that it can be used daily at home by quite young children
and their parents, with the teacher checking progress every week or
two.
Position Pieces for Cello is designed to give students a logical
and fun way to learn their way around the fingerboard. Each hand
position is introduced with exercises called "Target Practice,"
"Geography Quiz," and "Names and Numbers." Following these
exercises are tuneful cello duets which have been specifically
composed to require students to play in that hand position. In this
way, students gain a thorough knowledge of how to find the hand
positions and, once there, which notes are possible to play. Using
these pieces (with names like "I Was a Teenage Monster," "The Irish
Tenor," and "I've Got the Blues, Baby"), position study on the
cello has never been so much fun!

(Book). The definitive history of the world's most famous 12-string
electric guitar. When the Byrds recorded their hit version of
Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man," they popularized a new sound in pop
music: the electric 12-string guitar. Rickenbacker is the guitar
maker that brought the electric 12-string to market and has since
been almost single-handedly responsible for establishing what such
a guitar should do. The California company gave one of its earliest
12-strings to George Harrison of the Beatles on the group's first
tour of the United States in 1964. He immediately used it live and
in the studio and showed off the sound of electric jangle to the
rest of the world. This book tells the story of those heady days in
the '60s, of the competitors who tried and failed to match the
sound, and of the instrument's continuing production by
Rickenbacker and use by many modern guitarists. Complete with
high-quality photos and exclusive interviews with many of the
12-string's leading players, this is the best guide yet to the
history of the sound of jingle-jangle.
