Par O'NEILL JOHN. These methods provide complete courses for players off all ages, guiding students from their first note to 'classics', together with compositions by contemporary writers. Each book is accompanied by high quality rhythm section tracks recorded on compact disc. Right from the start, students can enjoy authentic jazz sounds, playing in the company of professionals. With step-by-step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good technique are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz. Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage and is given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, and an Appendix containing all the chord progressions for 'live' accompaniment of the tunes, 'The Jazz Methods' are ideally suited to both students working alone and those learning with a teacher. 'John O'Neill has a solid understanding of jazz and how it can be taught. I highly recommend his educational jazz materials.' (Jamey Aebersold) '...a rare opportunity for a new player (or a more experienced one) to develop a really musical facility. A rare addition to the jazz improvising library.' (Lee Konitz, international jazz saxophone soloist) The Saxophone is, for many, the instrument of jazz and there is an enormous and exciting repertoire waiting to be explored by newcomers to the instrument. 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' will guide beginners of all ages from producing their first note on the saxophone to the performance of full-blown jazz pieces, including 'classics' by Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins and Horace Silver, as well as contributions from leading contemporary jazz players and composers. Backing for all the music-specially recorded for this method is provided on the accompanying CD so that, right from the start, student saxophonists can enjoy an authentic jazz sound, playing in the company of a top-class rhythm section (bass, guitar, drums) used later to support first attempts at improvisation. With step by step instruction and a progression of specially written pieces, the fundamental elements of good saxophone technique-breath control, tone-production, embouchure, tonguing and fingerings-are introduced alongside the rhythmic subtleties of jazz (for example, 'swung' and syncopated rhythms). Improvisation is encouraged from an early stage, given direction through the systematic study of scales and arpeggios and advice on ear-training and chord patterns. With additional information on practical matters such as choosing reeds and earing for the instrument, as well as supplementary suggestions for listening and reading, 'The Jazz Method for Saxophone' is ideally suited both to students working alone and those learning with a teacher. / Méthode / Recueil / Saxophone

De chaque année propos de The Little Drummer Boy à Noël dernier - tout ce que votre coeur désire ... et bien sûr, Silent Night, Holy Night n'a pas été oublié. / Saxophone

Music Minus One Tenor or Alto Saxophone-For Saxes Only is designed to give the jazz saxophonist (or clarinet or trumpet player) an opportunity to play with a top-flight sax section. Due to the comparative scarcity of big bands today this is the one area in which young players sorely lack experience. While working with this album you will encounter the problems of sight-reading intonation phrasing vibrato unisons subtone and more. These are the same challenges one would face playing with legendary greats Ellington Basie or Goodman. If you haven't had the opportunity to work in a big band playing with this album should give you an idea of that special thrill one gets when the blend is perfect and everybody'sswinging together! Includes printed solo parts for E-flat and B-flat instruments and a compact disc featuring complete recordings (with alto sax as the solo instrument) and a second performance of the accompaniments only. Performed by Bob Wilber tenor sax Hilton Jefferson alto sax Accompaniment: The Bob Wilber All-Stars: Bob Wilber tenor sax Hilton Jefferson alto sax Jerome Richardson alto sax Seldon Powell tenor sax Danny Bank baritone sax Dick Wellstood piano George Duvivier bass Panama Francis drums

Les auteurs ont conçu - avec l'aide de professeurs d'instruments - une méthode permettant d'avoir un outil à la fois ludique et vivant pour l'enfant, et le plus précis possible pour le professeur, tout en permettant à celui-ci d'enseigner suivant sa propre sensibilité musicale. Les avantages, non exhaustifs, de la formation musicale par l'orchestre : - un rapport beaucoup plus direct et moins abstrait entre le solfège et la pratique instrumentale (tout l'apprentissage solfégique étant directement lié à l'instrument que l'élève a choisi) - passer par l'oral avant l'écrit - une formation auditive plus développée, due aux partitions interprétées par différents instrumentistes - une meilleure compréhension/analyse des oeuvres proposées grâce à la pratique instrumentale - développer l'autonomie de l'élève - la pratique instrumentale collective au sein de ce cours donnera l'envie (dès que l'élève aura le niveau suffisant) de rejoindre un des ensembles instrumentaux du conservatoire ou de l'école de musique Chaque volume de Symphonic FM se présente sous la forme d'un livre de l'élève (choisi en fonction de l'instrument pratiqué) et d'un livre du professeur. A partir du volume 5, nous avons changé la présentation des livres des élèves pour des raisons pratiques (densité de l'ouvrage). Il y a désormais : un cahier principal comportant ce qui est commun à tous les instruments une partie séparée spécifique à chaque instrument comportant les duos instrumentaux, les versions instrumentales des chants et les pratiques instrumentales. Ainsi, chaque élève achètera non plus le correspondant à la famille de son instrument mais le cahier de son propre instrument.
