This album of Easy Studies for Saxophone is a 'user friendly' introduction to Jazz and Rock phrasing at an elementary level. The book is divided into two sections Jazz and Rock. In the Jazz pieces all quavers are to be played in swing time. In the Rock pieces they are as written (straight). This book can be used as an ideal primer for the more advanced '20 Modern Studies' (UE18820) also in this series.

Par GRIMES DAVID. The guitar studies of Fernando Sor (1778-1839) have long been valued highly among the indispensable elements of a guitarist's training. A number of prominent virtuosi attribute a large portion of their development to the diligent study of these works. Sor's studies address an impressive array of technical and musical topics, including proper left-hand fingering, training of the right hand, interval and chord formations, scales, arpeggios, repeated notes, ligados, barring, natural harmonics, control of note duration, balance of melody versus accompaniment, and the handling of contrapuntal voices. A careful study of these pieces will lay the groundwork for a solid technique and allow the guitarist to build the control necessary for the expression of his or her musical concepts. In preparing this edition David Grimes worked with Sor's original publications, but incorporated some alterations that appear in those studies that Napoleon Coste chose to include in his Methode complete pour la Guitarre par Ferdinand Sor. Furthermore, Mr. Grimes has corrected misprints, modernized the notation and rectified some inconsistencies. Finally, some developments in technique since Sor's day have been incorporated in this edition. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Classic - Solos / Etude / Guitare Classique

These studies have been written to provide the ambitious student with material with which to carry on beyond the point where most methods and study books leave off, after which point the player is either compelled to continue on his own or is left with the idea that, having conquered all of the material at hand, he is well equipped to enter the ranks of professional players. However, these days the demands made upon brass players are beyond anything contained in the older methods, material which, however necessary for the student to conquer during the first years of study, was certainly never intended to develop the player to the point of present-day demands upon his lip, tongue, and breath. The pieces in this book were written as studies, not as musical compositions, that include, in more or less profusion, such figures as the student will be apt to meet with during the course of an active career. The studies are generally tuneful and pleasant in character. This book is not intended for beginners or students who have not already developed a good technique and strong embouchure by their work in the methods such as Arban´s and St. Jacome´s. It is intended for advanced players who have gone beyond the ordinary material and who are looking for exercises with which to develop higher register, extra technique and extra familiarity with the keys.

This book has been written to familiarise the clarinettist with the various rhythms and phrasings encountered in modern music. Each study deals with a particular aspect of rhythmic playing ranging from Jazz and Rock to modern Classical interpretation. They are of short to moderate lenght in order to maximise concentration on style. They are compiled in order of difficulty. Early to advanced grades.

Warm-ups, technical training and studies. Most trumpet players blow downward a bit too much; as a consequence, the pressure point lies on the lower lip. The result: a thick, dull tone without treble and smoothness. The present technical exercises help to shift the pressure point to the upper lip. Thus, a much better treble, a finer tone and generally a better embouchure is gradually achieved. This also helps to keep the lung more open when blowing and to develop better lung volume and strength. Not least, it helps to avoid postural impairment, e.g. damaged discs or atrophied lungs. Contains all-important information on trumpet techniques, a 'check-up' for advanced players and professional trumpet players. / Études et exercices / Etude / Trompette
