Twelve Etudes, Op. 39

Twelve Etudes Op.39 composed by Edward MacDowell is intended for the moderately advanced student. Since most of the etude literature written by the major composers are virtuosic in nature and intended to cultivate a brilliant and virtuosic technique of the advanced pianists many of the etudes in Op.39 are unique in that the development of touch takes priority. In this edition Gary Busch provides thorough commentaries about Edward MacDowell the Twelve Etudes Op.39 and the individual etudes within this collection. A brief description of pedagogical intent precedes each study in addition to practice suggestions for several of the etudes.

Perfect for the student of Jazz. --Michael Brecker ?I encourage the jazz guitar students at the University of North Texas to emulate tenor saxophonists. Greg Fishman's book, Jazz Guitar Etudes, contains idiomatic bebop lines and will be a great tool for any guitar teacher with aspiring jazz guitarists. Thanks, Greg!? Fred Hamilton, professor of jazz guitar, University of North Texas ?These are great solos and etudes! I'm always telling my guitar students to learn lines and phrasing from horn players, and Greg Fishman's book is perfect for this approach. The book is nicely done and very well laid out.? Corey Christiansen Professor of Guitar, Utah State University, Visiting Professor, Indiana University This book is very well put together and very thorough. It gives guitar students the information necessary to obtain a vocabulary based on the bebop tradition, yet ultimately encourages them to improvise on these structures, creating their own lines and ideas. I commend you on meeting this challenge head-on, and for effectively clarifying these concepts in your liner notes. --Steve Cardenas Professor of Guitar, The New School, New York City, member of the Paul Motian Band and Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchesra. The lines are great, the rhythm section is terrific, and I really love the fact that the student guitarist working out of this book gets to play along with both the guitarist on the CD and with your tenor. This book is incredibly well thought out. Congratulations on a fantastic book! --Jack Peterson, legendary jazz guitar professor (retired) from Berklee and North Texas State Just Jazz Guitar's rave review of Jazz Guitar Etudes by Greg Fishman: Jazz Guitar Etudes is an excellent resource for all guitarists and teachers.

The book comes with a CD that features a guitar version, a saxophone version, and a rhythm section version of each etude. In addition, Fishman begins the book with concepts in developing jazz lines such as proper voice leading and sequences. The melodic lines are very well designed phrases using the the bebop language.

Jazz Saxophone Etudes, Volume 3 features twelve melodic etudes for the advancing jazz saxophonist. These etudes focus primarily on medium tempos and demonstrate a melodic approach to soloing with authentic jazz vocabulary. The etudes are catchy, fun to play, and written idiomatically for the saxophone. Like all of Greg Fishman's books, all saxophonists (soprano/alto/tenor/bari) read the same written part, ensuring that the pieces lay perfectly on the horn, while the rhythm section transposes the accompaniment to accommodate the saxophonist's range. This book is the perfect follow-up for students who have completed Fishman's Jazz Phrasing for Beginners.
