A Complete Approach to Overtones is an in-depth treatment on
overtones for saxophone. The book provides a full range of
exercises and aids to improve the overtone capabilities and overall
saxophone playing for every level of saxophonist. Beginners will
find the aids they need to achieve their first overtones, and
players who can already play a wide range of overtones will find
exercises that improve and expand their abilities as well. "Ben
Britton has put together a comprehensive volume explaining the
overtone series and how to practice with it. A must-have for
serious students of the saxophone." - Charles Pillow, Assistant
Professor of Jazz Saxophone, Eastman School of Music From the
introduction: "One of the most efficient ways to improve saxophone
sound or tone is through overtone practice. Just a minute or two of
proper overtone practice immediately increases the clarity and
richness of tone as well as increases your ability to maintain a
great sound while playing technically difficult music. Regularly
practicing overtones will lead to consistently achieving those ends
and extending your range into the altissimo register. Mastering
overtones can result in a near four-octave range with a consistent
and beautiful sound throughout."
Volume 5 of "Personal Trainer" is the fifth and final book in a
training program offering musical workouts and enrichment
activities for piano students of many ages and skill levels. The
overall structure consists of five books, each containing four
sections dealing with specific issues. These four sections are
entitled:
Explorations Eye-So-Metrics Foundations Repertoire
The authors believe the development of technique, sight playing
and analytical skills are part of an integrated approach to total
musicianship; all are stepping-stones to aesthetic expression and
musical understanding. They want their students to feel comfortable
as they learn to hear what they see, see what they hear, and grow
in their understanding of the building blocks of music. Those,
simply stated, are fundamental goals of "Personal Trainer."
This book was created to work well by itself. It works even better
when used with "Home Concert Xtreme, " an interactive software
environment for learning, practicing, and performing music.
Includes music for the beginner recorder player with an
international flavour. Ideal for exploring the music of the world,
or simply tasting something a little different. Starting with the
very easiest - just 4 notes, and progressing gradually to include
the second octave; some are short, others longer, with plenty of
familiar melodies. Ideal for the beginner recorder player to use
alongside a tutor book.
This book was designed for bagpipers who play the Great Highland
