Basso Continuo for Bach織s Cello Suites
A Must Have for musicians BASSO CONTINUO FOR BACH織S CELLO SUITESCreated for cello, viola, bassoon, bass clarinet, trombone, marimba, etcUSE IT FOR: Concerts, teaching, harmonic training, practicing accompaniment I was just a kid when my cello teacher started accompanying me by ear with different pieces of music, and I learned to do the same with my violinist sister. In that way, the music made complete sense to me, and I felt a special joy in playing and sharing the language of music with others. This was possibly what helped me survive learning such a hard instrument. Meanwhile, it was time to learn Bach. I soon understood that the different voices in the Bach Suites were woven into a single line, and that fascinated me. I wanted to understand that process more and more. For three decades I listened to dozens of master classes highlighting the importance of harmony, and I fantasized about sharing that playful character with someone accompanying me in these dances. After all, since the baroque period is the era of the basso continuo, why not write it down explicitly? This creation is meant to be used for pleasure, and to enjoy. For all the instrumentalists who study this repertoire: teachers, students and performers in concerts. This is to help understand and enhance the determining role of harmony and rhythm, and to be able to transmit through music the desire to share and dance.

New Wave for a Musician
Players today face a great challenge as some musical instruments and playing styles have reached their climax in producing rhythms tones colors and patterns so the players must invent new styles of playing or new waves to maintain their popularity. Many newcomers to the playing field are at risk if they only imitate and follow a popular player and his genre. The author of this book discusses how to build such a new wave, after analyzing the potential and opportunities of the player and developing a vision and plan of action for innovation.How to face failures, defeats, and maintaining a player's existence throughout the career is explained well in the book, and motivating for a long and stable journey is also discussed.Describing the changes or transformations that took place from the day music was born to the present is a very complicated task. In ancient times Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20th and 21st Century, transformation took place slowly and often took a hundred years or more, but today it is changing very rapidly in a year or a few months.The rise of social media is rapidly changing the world's technologies, architecture, fashion, furniture, cars, roads, cities, and many others. In such a world, music cannot remain unchanged.The people facing this change are lining up for a transformation. Therefore, people are expecting a change in everything, as well as in music.The players have reached the end of a long journey with that musical instrument or have not been able to go beyond the playing style of that instrument. Since there are no restrictions on the instruments, the players must use all the possibilities available with those instruments.In this book, the procedure, and knowledge that a player should have to establish such a wave, the method that builds his mind for it, the system of using that knowledge and procedure, the methods of socializing a new wave, and the pattern that maintain it continuously and the way of keeping the performer in the field are also thoroughly analyzed.An analysis of the role of the player and what level he should be in today's context is a leading theme discussed in this book. The book discusses why this task should be done and how it should be done.The author discusses and vividly explains the present complexity of the giant music industry and gives ideas to establish successful methods to overcome those unseen problems. In any field, if the competition is high and broad, there is a collapse, and it is sometimes not easy to rebuild properly. The value of more new organizations to promote newcomers entering the field is a must and their knowledge and the activities for this task are discussed. September 2023

Playing & Teaching the Saxophone
Playing & Teaching the Saxophone: A Modern Approach provides a method for teaching the saxophone that is specific enough to use as a textbook in a collegiate saxophone methods class, simple enough for a band director to use in guiding their saxophone sections, clear enough for adult beginners to teach themselves the instrument, and deep enough for professionals to use as a resource in teaching private lessons at any level. The first sections of this book, Getting Started and Learning the Notes, take a student in a collegiate methods class or other adult beginner through the fundamental concepts of playing the saxophone. The In-Depth section then lays out critical concepts that are essential to the further development of any saxophonist. As a contemporary guide for teaching the musicians and music educators of the 21st century, this method addresses the pedagogy of not only the instrument, but of the whole student. It includes a diverse array of musical examples that celebrate communities and cultures around the globe, and a "Wellness for the Young Musician" chapter offers an overview of practices that will help students navigate performance anxiety and avoid injury while playing. Designed to be a lifelong reference for band directors and private instructors, the book includes "Hand-It-Over" sections that can be used as student instructional sheets. These materials, along with video performances and teaching demonstrations, are also available in the book's companion website.
