18 Recital Pieces in First Position for Cello and Piano or Two Celli-Charming collections of easy pieces in first position. Each Cello part is supported by a Piano accompaniment for student performances. Alternately a second Cello part allows duo playing with the teacher during lessons. This early introduction to chamber music brings joy and satisfaction to the young cellist and teaches the student to hear the music as a whole. The two volumes are designed as companion publications to the Early Start on the Cello method. However they work equally well as a supplement to any other Cello method. A variety of rarely published works by well-known cellists and pedagogues such as Wilhelm Fitzenhagen HugoSchlemüller and August Nölck make these publications attractive to teachers and students. The Cello Recital Album Volume 1 can be used as a supplement to the Early Start on the Cello method Volumes 1 and 2 (BA 8996 and BA 8997). The 18 pieces in Volume 1 are structured to follow the same progression of finger patterns introduced in the Early Start method. This systematic progression helps the student to solidify the hand position and improve intonation. The basic bowing techniques do not require changes in bow speed or sounding point. The young performer can focus on a straight and beautifully placed bow that produces a pleasing and clear sound. The Cello Recital Album Volume 2 can be used as a supplement to the Early Start on the Cello method Volumes 2 and 3 (BA 8997 and BA 8998). The 12 pieces in Volume 2 are structured to follow the same progression of finger patterns introduced in the Early Start method Volumes 2 and 3. The later repertoire in this volume includes a careful introduction of downward and upward extensions.

The Physiology Of Guitar Playing: Functional Anatomy And Physiomechanics-This comprehensive guide to the physiology of Guitar playing is the culmination of three decades of deep exploration of the guitarist's playing mechanism and is the most detailed presentation of Ricardo Iznaola'sthinking about these matters to date. Structured in three chapters Chapter 1 surveys basic anatomy and physiology of the upper limb with additional sections discussing general pedagogical considerations. Chapter 2 devoted to the right hand presents detailed information regarding digital joint behavior in general and as applied in actual activity on the guitar as well as introducing an analytical system to study and describe positionalattitudes or `frames' adopted by the hand in the course of playing. Chapter 3 discusses at length left-hand physiomechanics taking the concepts of shifting and mobility as fundamental categories encompassing all aspects ofleft-hand technique. Twenty-six anatomical figures over fifty photos and more than sixty musical examples with access to online video amply illustrate the text. 'In the spirit of ground-breaking scientific pioneers celebrated performer and pedagogue Ricardo Iznaola offers the guitar world the first volume of Summa Kitharologica a comprehensive and highly insightful examination of guitar technique in a remarkable mixture of soaring eruditionand down-to-earth practical and applicable approaches to the instrument. Like a modern-day Charles Darwin of the guitar his insatiable passion for discovery keen eye of the `naturalist' and relentless analytical mind havecarefully and methodically recorded previously little-known or little-recognized observations relationships and nuances about the natural principles at work in artful guitar playing. For guitar instructors serious students andeven advanced performers who desire to go beyond the `what' of guitar technique and delve into its `whys' and `hows' this may well be the definitive text.' - Henry Adams former editor Guitar and Lute

This major concert work cosists o five movements.1st movement: La Laguna del ShimbeSituated high up in the Andes mountains in Northern Peru are the Huaringas a group of lagoons in isolated and mysterious surroundings. The water has healing powersand for centuries traditional healers have settled there in small villages. From far the sick come to the Huaringas to be treated in nightly rituals in which the hallucinating juice of the San Pedro cactus gives the prophet a look inside hispatient. The biggest lagoon is the ?Laguna del Shimbe? one of the countless wells of the immense Amazon stream.2nd movement: Los AguarunasFurther downstream in Northern Peru we come across the rain tribe of Los Aguarunas. It?s a proud beautiful andindependent race which has never succumbed to domination not even from the Incas. They live from everything the forest has to offer: fish fruit plants ... . They also grow some crops and live as semi-nomads. They take their fate into their ownhands and after having made contact with modern civilisation they have integrated new elements into their lives without betraying their own ways.3rd movement: MekaronMekaron is an Indian word meaning ?picture? ?soul? ?essence?. The Indians are theorigina inhabitants of the Amazon region. They either live in one place as a group or move around a large region. They all have their own political system their own language and an intense social life. At the same time they are master of music andmedicine. ?Everywhere the white man goes he leaves a wilderness behind him? wrote the North American Indian leader Seatl in 1885. As a result of these contacts with the whites the disruption of most Indian societies began. (In this century alone 80 tribes have vanished completely).4th movement: KêêtuajêThis is the name of the initiating ceremony of the Krahô tribe in the Brazilian state of Goias in which young boys and girls enter adult life. They are cleansed with water painted with redpaint and covered with feathers after which the ritual dance holds the entire tribe spell-bound.5th movement: Paulino FaiakanIn 1988 the Indian chiefs Faiakan and Raoni Kaiapo came to Europe to protest against the building of the Altamira dam inBrazil. As a result of the dam the Indians would be driven from their traditional land and enormous artificial would be created. The project was supported financially by amongst others the European Community. In February 1989 the Indian tribesaround Altamira held a protest march for the first time in their history together. Amongst other things they paid tribute tot Chico Mendez who murdered in 1988 was the leader of the rubber syndicate and a fierce opponent of the destruction of theBrazilian rain forest. Brazilian and world opinion was awakened. The building of the dam was -albeit temporarily - stopped.

Par NILLES ANIKA. If you don’t have access to your drums regularly, travel a lot, or have neighbors with sensitive ears, you will already have a PRACTICE PAD. But practicing without a drum kit is special! To keep your hands agile and dive deeper into EFFECTIVE METHODS that really improve your pad technique, ANIKA NILLES‘ PAD BOOK is JUST THE THING!  Anika gives plenty of options WHAT AND HOW to practice on a pad. Practice pads are particularly well suited because they reduce drumming to one basic sound source. This way you follow a process of continuous progression in terms of stickings and rudiments, phrasings and rhythm concepts. The FUNDAMENTAL WORKOUTS are allocated to four chapters: Subdivision Studies, Mixed Meters, Hand Independence, and Polyrhythms. The result is a complete system with triplets, 16th notes, quintuplets, sextuplets and septuplets, which are broken down into individual steps starting with a very basic layout before moving to more complex rhythms. The focus is on building up and consolidating fundamentals across all note values, raising awareness on a feel for time and rhythm, and presentation of many possibilities on how you can expand acquired skills. Anika also puts together a collection of WARM-UPS which suggest ideas on how you create your own rhythm patterns out of the technical features in this book. The deeper meaning underpinning Anika’s ideas is always how to be MORE CREATIVE. It is about working on your weaknesses, developing new ideas and rhythms for yourself, or simply looking at familiar things from a different perspective. Back on the DRUM KIT you will find that you can focus on more specific, musically relevant topics such as sound, orchestration, and dynamics, since the hands, body, and mind have already internalized the basics practiced on the pad.
