Packed with 32 upbeat pieces, Razzamajazz Guitar introduces new notes gradually and comes with a practice and performance tracks. Clearly illustrated throughout, you will move from one-note wonder to impresario in no time! As Sarah says:'Razzamajazz Guitar can be used alongside a traditional tutor book to inspire and motivate from the first note. New notes are added one at a time, and in all the pieces, the 'jazz feel' backing track will celebrate progress and build confidence. Some of the tunes in the book include chord symbols which can be played by the teacher or other students to make a duet or ensemble piece. Later in the book a bass line is also included. Razzamajazz Guitar will prove a useful resource for guitar teachers that is upbeat, technically sound and fun.' Sarah Watts is a well-known and prolific composer who loves to make music-learning fun. Her books for most instruments and choirs are published by Kevin Mayhew. She has pieces in all the major exam syllabuses and her music is played all over the world. Steve Christmas studied guitar performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. With over 15 years' teaching experience, he is now Deputy Head of Berkshire Maestros and the Berkshire Music Education Hub and conducts the nationally acclaimed Berkshire Youth Guitar Orchestra. Giving beginners the encouragement and confidence to progress quickly and sound great, Razzamajazz Guitar is sure to become the go-to book for all those who want to learn classical guitar.

Tip-Top Trumpet Tunes(Over 500 Pieces To Make You Sound Amazing)
Over 500 fun pieces to make you sound amazing!Tip-top Trumpet Tunes is a fun resource book with everything you need for beginners and up to Grade 2 standard. There are lots of tunes specifically designed to make learning easy and fun, including many favourites that children love to play.The book is a complete resource for beginners, containing a large selection of tunes, starting on just two notes. It recognises that not all beginners find the same notes accessible or learn at the same rate, so there are numerous pieces using an assorted variety of notes and the book progresses slowly and gradually onto new notes and rhythms. This is ideal for beginners who have no prior musical knowledge or who struggle to produce notes in certain registers. Other students can move on more quickly to new notes and explore more rhythmic ideas, but the early pieces make great sight-reading material.Basic theory is set out at the beginning and a 'Rhythm Section' on one note (which can be any suitable note) helps players to start learning new rhythmic ideas without having to think about playing different notes. Later in the book, more complex rhythms are explored more thoroughly and as new notes are introduced, there are many opportunities for playing in different keys and learning key signatures. At the end of the book is a section of lip flexibility exercises that can be started on at any time, all the scales and arpeggios for Grades 1 and 2, and a fingering chart.ContentsAbout the composerUsing this bookG and FC and DRhythm SectionMore F and GE (E and F)G and EE, F and GMore C and DC and ED and EC, D and ED, E and F 27C, D, E and FD, E, F and GC to GSlursSemiquaversDotted quaver and semiquaverCompound timeA (F, G and A)E, F, G and AC to ADynamicsLow BHigh BF sharpLow A 59Low C sharpHigh CG sharpB flatLow B flatE flatHigh DHigh C sharpLip Flexibility ExercisesScales and ArpeggiosNotes and Fingerings

Pick The Plec - Guitar Tutor
This is a book for all new and existing students, of any age, a book for any player whether right- or left-handed, a book for guitarists who do or don't read music. It is a book aimed at anyone who wishes to play music on a guitar: it is a book for everyone.In his many years as a guitar tutor, Nick McNulty has found that most players do not read music. He has chosen to use Tabulature (or "Tab") and chord charts to depict how to play the pieces in this book. No previous musical knowledge is needed, yet a "notation" method is readily available that will enable students to use many of the websites carrying this style of music writing.He uses a way of describing chords that any player, whether right- or left-handed, can use and there is a basic chord chart for left-handed players at the end of the book. Every chord is described so you can place your finger on a fret on a string, therefore everyone can relate to this, however they wish to play.Playing to a chord chart - the song written out in a sequence and in correct time - is how most bands work now. This one sheet can be given to a lead, rhythm or bass guitarist, or drummer to guide them. You will find these sheets throughout the book for playing the rhythm parts and to gain important chord practice.Playing chords and scales will enable guitarists to play songs of their choice. Another aim of this book is for the player to explore their own ideas and play in their own style - improvising is a great skill to become familiar with and the last downloadable track accompanying this book will help you to do this. The lead track is there for some ideas you can use. The backing track is there for you to try your own ideas and feel at home with how you want to play.Guitar playing is a journey that has no end and everyone's journey is different. Play Today with Pick the Plec will help you enjoy every minute of this wonderful instrument, as you begin to play with other musicians and explore one another's ideas and creations. Includes 66 downloadable tracks. Also full colour throughout!
