The BeatTips Manual
Out of the ruins of the South Bronx disaster came an artistically rich and deeply influential street culture: hip hop. From the start, hip hop coalesced around its music. Revered everywhere for its sound, style, force, rawness, and honesty, hip hop/rap music is one of the most popular and inclusive music traditions in the world. Although half of hip hop/rap music s power and appeal can rightfully be attributed to the art of rapping, it is the art of beatmaking that mostly distinguishes hip hop/rap music from every other music form and musical tradition that has preceded it.The BeatTips Manual (Amir Said) is the definitive study of the art of beatmaking (hip hop production). Brilliantly divided into five major parts -- a riveting History part, an extensive Instruction (how-to) part, an insightful Interviews part, which features exclusive interviews with DJ Premier, DJ Toomp, Marley Marl, 9th Wonder and more, an explosive Music Theory part, and a Business part -- The BeatTips Manual is robust, detailed, and comprehensive. Containing a sharp analysis of the origins of beatmaking, as well as its key aesthetics, principles, priorities, and predilections, The BeatTips Manual is an incisive look at the art of beatmaking and an intense read. Not only the most complete examination of the hip hop/rap music process, it's also among the leading studies of hip hop culture itself. Destined to expand and transform traditional ideas about musicians, musicianship, and musical processes, The BeatTips Manual is one of the most important and innovative music studies ever published.
The Ultimate Musician's Practice Planner
The Ultimate Musician's Practice Planner is a practical system designed to help musicians stay focused, organized, and steadily improving throughout the year.After years of teaching, I noticed that most players were practicing hard but without a clear sense of direction. They jumped from piece to piece, exercise to exercise, and idea to idea without a structure to tie them all together. I wanted to build something that made everyday practice easier to follow and easier to measure, and something that kept key theory tools close by so you never have to search around for the basics.This planner brings everything into one place: daily practice pages, weekly and monthly reviews, clear goal-setting, a space for teacher notes, and a full theory and reference section that musicians rely on most. It is designed to be simple to use, flexible for any instrument, and strong enough to support a full year of progress.What's InsidePart 1: Foundations and SetupPart 2: The Practice System (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)This planner follows a simple, steady routine that works for any instrument or level.Part 3: Integrated Theory and ReferenceA complete set of the core charts musicians rely on most: Part 4: Creative and Notes SectionA flexible space for ideas, sketches, and notes: You can start this planner at any time of year. I truly believe that those who stick with a consistent process always improve, which is why I created this framework. If I only realized earlier that getting better wasn't about filling my head with more stuff, but about keeping focused, I would have progressed much faster. Over time, this planner transforms scattered effort into a single, integrated approach, allowing you to stop chasing loose notes and start achieving measurable, consistent results.

Lines & Spaces for Violin, Book 1
Lines & Spaces is a note-reading companion for the Kaleidoscopes series for violin, viola, or cello. Building upon the foundation established in its prequel, The Musical Looking Glass, Book 1, this volume provides sequenced repertoire to develop students' note-reading on their primary instrument.Lines & Spaces complements the comprehensive musical foundation students build inside The Musical Looking Glass series, which emphasizes piano fluency, moveable-do solfege, guided discovery, harmonic understanding, and creative play. Together, these resources create a cohesive approach to developing musical literacy and instrumental proficiency.Key features: Alphabetic Note Names: Students transfer the alphabetic note names learned on piano to their string instrument. Their fluency with the asymmetry of natural note names (such as the whole step between F-G versus the half step between B-C) helps them capably navigate the fifth-based organization of string instruments with confidence.Pattern & Interval Awareness: Students easily apply their understanding of steps and skips to traditional notation with treble, alto, or bass clef.Key Awareness: Moveable-do solfege builds naturally into the concept of key. Students recognize that as they transition from D Major to G Major, the tonic (do) moves to a different position on the staff.Musical Patterns & Cadences: The repertoire emphasizes idiomatic tonal patterns rather than semi-tonal material, providing musical fulfillment while reinforcing the contextual understanding needed for fluent sight-reading.This approach helps students develop skills that go beyond basic note-reading, fostering genuine musical fluency grounded in an understanding of melody and harmony.

The Neuroscience of Reading Music
HOW DOES READING MUSIC IMPROVE THE BRAIN?This groundbreaking book for music takes the reader into the human brain to discover the neural pathways for all music activities - including the essential neural pathways for composers, conductors, and all instrumental and vocal musicians who perform from printed music. "The Neuroscience of Reading Music" explores numerous topics including: What are the differences in the brain between "playing by ear" and "playing from notation?"Why is it neurologically improbable that learning notation early harms or lessens music intelligence, as many educators currently believe?What is the real role of music intelligence in reading music notation?What is alphabetic logic and how can it speed up the note reading process?Is simple-to-complex hierarchy neurologically necessary or just optional in learning notation?How does whole body coordination affect learning abilities?What is the similarity between reading notation and general classroom subjects?Moir shared her ideas and concerns with Howard Gardner, the eminent Harvard professor and widely accepted authority on the intelligences, who wrote the book Frames of Mind, the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (1983). "You raise an interesting set of issues. Best wishes for the success of your book." -Howard Gardner

Cognate Music Theories
This volume explores the possibilities of cognate music theory, a concept introduced by musicologist John Walter Hill to describe culturally and historically situated music theory.Cognate music theories offer a new way of thinking about music theory, music history, and the relationship between insider and outsider perspectives when researchers mediate between their own historical and cultural position, and that of the originators of the music they are studying. With contributions from noted scholars of musicology, music theory, and ethnomusicology, this volume develops a variety of approaches using the cognate music theory framework and shows how this concept enables more nuanced and critical analyses of music in historical context.Addressing topics in music from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, this volume will be relevant to musicologists, music theorists, and all researchers interested in reflecting critically on what it means to construct a theory of music.Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: //www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

Dreaming and Thinking in Music
In Dreaming and Thinking in Music, Bruce Adolphe harnesses his wide-ranging experiences as a composer and educator to tackle one of the more elusive questions in music composition: how to get from technical ability to creative creation. Unlike standard composition textbooks that focus on writing melody, harmony, counterpoint, and rhythm, Dreaming and Thinking in Music guides readers to explore the rarely discussed problems of how to get ideas, and how to follow up with the appropriate techniques to realize those ideas. Exercises throughout the book prepare readers to receive, recognize, and seize moments of inspiration or musical vision through a variety of concepts to prompt imaginative musical thinking. Essays introduce and further explore topics such as hypnagogic dreams, improvisation, personal voice, composing based on lived experiences, and the influences of visual art, poetry, film, theater, and science. Adolphe's playful, erudite, yet fundamentally accessible approach serves as a guide for any composer, musician, or student interested in exploring their musical creativity from a non-technical viewpoint.
