Par DRUMM SIEGFRIED / ALEXANDRE JEAN FRANCOIS. 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 - flûte, flûte à bec, hautbois, clarinette, basson ou saxophone) et d'un livre du professeur. / méthode - études / Solfège/Formation Musicale / Formation Musicale

Bienvenue dans le délirant zodiaque de l'opéra, où les barytons ascendant martin ne s'entendent pas toujours avec les ténors ascendant U.S.A ou les sopranos ascendant colorature. Vous y découvrirez les basses manoeuvres des agents, les auditions truquées, les vices cachés des professeurs ou des librettistes, tout en apprenant à lire un contrat entre les lignes, au gré d'un dictionnaire fantaisiste où chacun (y comprit l'auteur) en prendra allègrement pour son grade, sur un ton allant du gentiment acidulé au franchement sarcastique.

Vincent Lajoinie, premiers prix d'accompagnement et d'esthétique au C.N.S.M.D.P., professeur à l'école Normale de Musique de Paris et au conservatoire du XVIe, jury d'analyse au C.N.S.M.D.P., contrebalance fort heureusement ces titres ronflants par un goût prononcé pour la dérision et l'ironie, ce qui l'a déjà conduit à écrire un ouvrage conséquent sur Erik Satie, ainsi que Le Basson n'est pas Contagieux, premier tome de cet ouvrage, sans parler de plusieurs arrangements pour orchestre Alla Hoffnung (le terme `dérangement` serait d'ailleurs mieux adapté), comme la Grande Fermeture, Le Leste Amant d'Heiligenstadt, ou encore l'Ouverture de la Harpie Voleuse ou celle pour une Souris Chauve, pour la plupart diffusés sur France 2. / Classique / Livre /

During their golden years of 1977 to 1982, The Jam's frontman Paul Weller was their outspoken leader, but it was drummer Rick Buckler who was the beating heart of the band, and it is his fascinating story that is told in his autobiography, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam, replete with insights into his life and music.From his childhood in the 1950s to his musical growth to becoming the backbone of one of the most successful punk rock British bands, the story goes on to detail his post-Jam musical career, incorporating a number of other musicians in his continuous projects. Featuring some incredible photographs from Buckler's personal archives, in-depth details about his personal and musical life, as well as new information about his projects since The Jam, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam presents a great biography that is an antidote to many of the other popular music books out there.As The Jam rose to fame in 1977, their blend of rock, punk, mod and new-wave made them a musical force to be reckoned with. Weller's in-your-face attitude and songwriting combined with Bruce Foxton's powerful bass lines and Buckler's brilliant drumming to create a sound that has been often replicated but rarely matched. This book is the story of the man at the back of the band, absent from the bitter quarrels but always looking forward from the middle, both physically on-stage and metaphorically. There have been a vast number of other books written about The Jam, but none come close to the intimacy and personality of this portrayal of a pioneering band and their interesting story. Through Rick Buckler's eyes, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam chronicles the highlights of their heyday and the low points of the dissolution of friendships. It's a brilliant read if you're a fan of The Jam, or even at all interested in popular music, this Rick Buckler autobiography has it all. / Livre

Inside Improvisation : vol. 6 Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language.
