The “Traditional” manner in which most people acquire the skill to play piano is to choose a teacher, commit to lessons and spend many hours practicing. Although there is no substitute for the time it takes to master this instrument, we can provide an alternative to the regimented lesson format. Ensenese A Tocar El Piano, the Spanish Edition of Teach Yourself Piano by Bob Hartz, was created for support as you learn the basics of piano on your own schedule and the authentic translation acquaints you with playing at a pace only governed by you. Bob Hartz begins by presenting the basics and explaining the fundamentals in a logical manner. Additional information is provided in a methodic fashion in an attempt to build on the knowledge previously gained. Teaching yourself is challenging, but ultimately quite rewarding as you acquire the ability to read music, play chords, and apply these skills to piano. Should you desire further study upon completion of this “self-taught” methodic approach then choosing a good teacher would be the next step. To truly master the piano, it takes many years of dedicated practice and study, but some would like to dabble enough to simply have fun. If this endeavor is meant for recreation, or you’re just in need of a refresher course, then Ensenese A Tocar El Piano is the perfect instructional guide for you.

The AIG Flamenco Series approaches the study of flamenco in the same “organic” fashion one learns in Spain: beginning with basic chords and techniques, then applying them to songs and dances which are a part of daily life. As skills develop, flamenco forms are played with more complex technique. The subtlety of expression in advanced forms &amp; techniques are then added to the guitarist’s repertoire. As the series progresses, earlier examples are combined and expanded to become full-length solos utilizing the full range of flamenco technique. Each volume includes an instructional performance CD which adds life to this brilliant art form. Advanced Flamenco Guitar , distributed by Santorella Publications, explores “virtuoso” flamenco playing: refinements of rasgueado; advanced arpegio, ligado, tremolo, alzapua falsetas and modern rasgueado techniques. Along the way there will be new song and dance forms: fandangos de Huelva, sevillanas, verdiales and the toques libres tarantas, granadinas and malagueñas. Professional level falsetas are presented throughout the book to illustrate these forms and techniques. In the last chapter, full length solos for alegrias and soleares are developed with material from throughout “The Keys To Flamenco”, Parts I and II. This chapter also demonstrates how to “put together” a malaguenas y verdiales as a guide to creating your own solos. 1-58560-006-7,728941177352

When explaining complex or abstract topics, it is often helpful to represent them visually. Creating a chart or table not only simplifies the concept, but also helps the student retain the information. These tables, like Conducting Patterns, Seating Arrangements and Ranges of All Winds, Strings &amp; Voices, will help illustrate abstract terms and will supplement definitions with concrete examples, making learning simple. William F. Lee’s Encyclopedia Of Music Knowledge published by Santorella Publications includes 2,500 concisely defined music terms and theory reference charts and features a chronological timeline which covers important dates in music history from 800 AD to present. This incredible listing includes key musical &amp; non-musical events that shaped the music and the people of an era. Santorella’s Encyclopedia Of Music Knowledge is the No.1 collegiate resource for further education in the study of music. Simple enough for layman to understand yet detailed enough for the seasoned musician. An absolute must for any student of music! From Beethoven’s 1st Symphony to the Patriotic Fervor that Sept 11th invoked to Janet Jackson making a spectacle of herself at a Super Bowl half time show. We cover it all! This unique paperback was researched and compiled by William F. Lee III, a highly respected educator, composer, conductor, performer, author, editor arranger and administrator as the former Dean of the University of Miami’s School of Music. Dr. Lee’s commitment to music education goes beyond his university endeavors, it manifests itself in every aspect of his life. Dr. Lee was the co-founder of the International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE) in 1968 and served as the president from 1972-74 and the Executive Director from 1994-1998. Dr. Lee has contributed greatly to the advancement of music and continues to do so even in retirement. We are quite fortunate to have had his contributions and professional guidance on this project. 1-58560-017-2,649571002213

With the study of the piano so wide-spread and the number of quality pianists so numerous, a much higher standard of execution is expected. To perform a piano piece of a special degree of difficulty, it would normally take eight to ten years of practice. Few people are in a position to devote so many years to this study and consequently, their playing is uneven and incorrect. It is a known fact that one hand is always stronger and has more dexterity than the other which has an impact on the ability to execute certain difficult passages in keyboard literature. The solution to this problem is the work, “The Virtuoso Pianist, In 60 Exercises” - (OEP50). In this important Santorella Publication are found the exercises necessary to acquire the agility, independence, strength and absolute evenness of the fingers, and suppleness of the wrists which are prerequisites for fine execution. The sheer importance of Hanon’s work for every committed piano student is a sufficient reason to get started with these exercises as soon as any young student has shown a serious interest. We proudly boast that Santorella’s “Easy Hanon - Exercises for the Beginning Pianist”, transcribed and edited by Jonathon Robbins, is the preference of most piano teachers in the United States and used by countless beginners throughout the world. Pick up a copy today and get your young virtuoso on the right track to becoming an exceptional pianist.
