Learn the intros, endings and turnarounds that all of the pros know and use! This new keyboard instruction book by John Valerio covers swing styles, ballads, Latin tunes, jazz waltzes, blues, major and minor keys, vamps and pedal tones, and more.Customer Review: This book is fun ...
The book has well written, very musical phrases. The author suggests usage with several standards that should be in everyone's play book and it's fun to work them in with tunes you already know - in the proper keys. Take them apart, and there is something to learn in most of them. Great for browsing. The printing is good and the binding isn't troublesome on the rack. Nice experience. I would have rated it a five, but some of the pages have a tendency to work loose.
Customer Review: I love this book
I try to spend a half hour with it every night. This book will appeal to a wide range of interests. Whether you are a composer interested in theory, or a keyboardist enhancing your chops, there is something here for you. Most examples are four-measures long, but rich in musicality (kind of like what the Bach chorales are for those studying classical music.) The examples progress from simple chord progressions to more complex, and each is one is clearly explained. Nice melodies too! It is apparent that the author has spent a lot of time with each of the sub-genres (swing, ballads, blues, Latin, etc.) and has distilled his knowledge into a neat recipe book that will serve as a launching point for those wishing to further their expertise.
How many times have you been driving in your car listening to the radio or hanging out at home playing your favorite cd's and a song comes on and all of a sudden as if you were in a time machine, you find yourself in the past walking on a very familiar beach with a girl you were once deeply in love with or you were at home listening to your stereo and your mom comes in and tells you how proud she is of you.
It does not have to be music that makes you reminisce and it does not necessarily have to be only good news that you remember. One of the most tragic days in my life is brought vividly back to life every time I watch an old black and white movie. The movie is "The Maltese Falcon" starring the great actor Humphrey Bogart. It was on November 22, 1963 at 1:30 P.M. EST when my tragedy occurred. I happened to be home from school with the flu watching "The Maltese Falcon" when the movie was interrupted by a special news report: President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Now, whenever I watch "The Maltese Falcon", it brings back all of the different emotions that I felt on that tragic day as if I was lying on the sofa watching TV back in 1963.
Music and Movie Posters Are Catalysts To Memories
Much like music and movies, movie posters and music posters can trigger past memories also. There have been times when I have seen music posters of musical artists or bands that sang songs that would bring back memories for me. The same can be said about movie posters. I have seen movie posters that would play a rerun of the movie in my head which in turn would trigger a fond, unhappy or bittersweet memory. So, you do not necessarily have to actually hear a song or watch a movie to bring about memories. A music poster or a movie poster can also be a catalyst for your memories and that is probably the reason that they have kept their immense popularity throughout the decades.
