ISBN: 1326965271
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
The object of this book has been to produce a collection of original pieces (composed by the author) which are both easy and satisfying to play. I hope I've succeeded. I certainly enjoy playing all of them. The 16 original compositions in this collection range from moderately easy to intermediate, but certainly not difficult. Although I have indicated this in the overview they are not featured in any particular order of how difficult they are. In relation to the Associated Board grades, I would rate these pieces at between grades 1 to 5. All except one have been written with a 'chord line' so that they can alternatively be played easily using an electronic keyboard with auto accompaniment. Additionally, many of the pieces can be played on a four or five octave keyboard. Listen Before you Buy. All of the pieces can be heard in the link in the free preview of this book, please listen to these before purchasing - if you don't like them you'll not have to bother buying it! But I think you'll like them!

Hanon Piano / Keyboard Exercises 1 - 30: Condensed and Simplified for Beginners Easy Reading
Author: Martin Woodward
Publisher: Martin Woodward
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
In this short book you will find condensed and simplified versions of the Hanon piano finger exercises 1 - 30 as well as the major, harmonic minor and melodic minor scales in every key (two octaves). What is Hanon? The ‘Hanon Virtuoso Pianist’ is a collection of piano finger exercises designed to give equal strength, agility and flexibility to all five fingers of both hands. Written by Charles-Louis Hanon in the 1800s, these exercises without doubt have become one of the most widely used techniques by today’s pianists. In my opinion these are the best finger exercises available. One really great thing about these exercises is that they are applicable to both absolute beginners and advanced players alike, particularly as the reading ability required is minimal. Whatever your ability, these exercises will help improve your technique and finger strength. So why do I need this book? The whole point is to make it easy to read and to reduce page turns - less is more! In the full version the first 30 exercises take up fifty pages whereas here there are three exercises per page for the first 20, then two per page for the next 10, reducing the fifty pages to just twelve. I initially produced this for my own use only but figured that others may like to take advantage of what I’ve done. Does this mean that the print is just smaller? No, not at all. If you are familiar with these exercises you will know that they are repeated patterns which ascend and descend for two octaves diatonically. To condense and simplify them and consequently eliminate an enormous amount of page turns I have shown: the all-important fingering on the first pattern (as per the original); then the repeated second pattern; then ‘changeover’ patterns between ascending and descending - which are sometimes slightly different; then finally the last pattern of each exercise which again is often very slightly different. All of the exercises can be heard if required in the pdf version (a free link is given at the end of the book).

Clutch Control & Gears Explained
Author: Martin Woodward
Publisher: Martin Woodward
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Does the clutch and gear lever confuse you? This superb book / eBook explains the clutch and gears (stick shift) in detail could solve all your ‘control’ problems! And all for less than half the price of a single driving lesson! Driving consists of 2 main elements: a) Control - the ability to put the vehicle where you want it, & b) Road Procedure - knowing where to put it + use of mirrors/observations and other theoretical knowledge. Obviously both elements are equally important but most driving books concentrate on ‘road procedure’ with very little consideration on ‘control’. Certainly in order to become adequate at control it has to be practiced – this can’t be denied. But a good clear understanding of the controls in particularly the clutch and gears will speed up the learning process considerably. This book deals only with control and as such is applicable to every country worldwide! Items covered in detail are: • How the clutch works (with diagrams) and how to use it correctly; • Moving Off, Stopping and Clutch Control (on all gradients); • The gears (stick shift) explained in detail; • When, why and how to change gear in all circumstances; • Changing from 2nd – 1st Uphill to gain Clutch Control at junctions etc; • Plus more. So how do I know so much? I qualified as an ADI in 1973 and started my own school in Sheffield, which I built up from one car to one of the largest, most respected and most profitable schools on South Yorkshire. During this period I also achieved grade 6 status (highest) as an instructor. I was also the initiator and proprietor of ADI Services (driving school suppliers). After just over 30 years in the driving school business, I sold the school which is still running very successfully. I am now semi retired and no longer give personal tuition. I am 100% confidant that the information and techniques in my guides will help any learner driver considerably as they have done to countless personal pupils of mine of the last 30 odd years. Learn how you can solve all your clutch control / gears and other driving problems now! Scroll up & click the buy button today! - You'll be very glad you did!
