Par FISHER CHRISTOPHER / KNERR HAGUE JULIE. Piece Cards provide motivation for students to learn and review their pieces. Students earn a card for each piece they complete in the equivalent Repertoire Books. There are four main ways students can use the Piece cards to practice or review pieces: Unit Map - When you assign a piece, the student tapes their piece card on the appropriate place on their Unit Map. Chain - Students earn a Piece Card for each piece they master and tape the Piece Cards they earn into a long chain. Bowl - Students earn a Piece Card for each piece they pass. These cards can be put in a bowl, and the student draws a card out of the bowl to review during practice at home or at the lesson. Hide and Seek - Teachers or parents can hide piece cards around the room. The student finds a card and plays that piece. / Methods

A Selection of Renaissance Tunes Instrument : treble recorder and piano Nombre de Pages : 56 Steven Rosenberg writes in the preface: This book is intended to give recorder players a repertoire of solo pieces from the Renaissance. Solo literature for the recorder is often dominated by music of the baroque era, while the music of Renaissance is primarily preformed by consorts. I hope that this collection will expand the solo repertoire by bringing to recorder players some of the most beautiful melodies of this period. I have performed all of these pieces in public and have taken care only to include music that is of performance quality. Some of the pieces are grouped in suites, but you should feel free to play them in the order of your choice. For those of you equally at home on descant (soprano) and treble (alto), fell free to intersperse pieces from the companion book for descant recorder.

Following the very successful piano method published in two volumes between 1958 and 1962 the three-volume European Piano Method represents a new textbook which takes into account the development of modern piano pedagogy.7 Winning Features of the Emonts Method:1 Songs from many European countries2 Pupils begin to play without music notation3 Improvisation and playing on the black keys4 Development of listening skills and aural awareness5 Simple and logical learning structure6 Lots of duets7 Attractive full-colour illustrationsVolume 3The third volume of The European Piano Method is not strictly speaking a piano method but rather a collection of meterial and suggestions forthe advanced tution of now slightly older players.The author has therefore concentrated on selecting pieces from the vast wealth of the piano repertoire and grouping them according to specific structural criteria. With this approach technical aspects (playing chord thirds sixths and other intervals) go hand in hand with musical themes (expressive touch extending rhythmic awareness cantabile playing with pedal). These developmental processes should suffuse each other: in the technical procedures on the one hand control over quality of tone clarity and articulation should not falter; the pieces from the piano repertoire on the other hand should gain creative power through everincreasing technical skills.The appendix of Volume 3 contains further 'yellow pages' with ideas for improvisation. the subjects are: Ostinato Bass Patterns Song Accompaniement Completing Melodies Improvising over Chord Progressions Seventh Chords Introduction to Jazz Harmony.
