Product Description
The purpose of this book is two fold. Develop your key retention and improve your aural conprehension of the most common key centers that are created from the modes of Major, Melodic Minor Ascending, Diminished, Whole Tone and Harmonic Minor. There is also a set of 12 tone melodies included. Developing a strong sense of key makes many aspects of ear training easier and becoming familiar with the common key centers helps you compose and improvise with greater clarity. Exercises are presented in all keys and the 4 accompanying CDs allow you to work on these exercises in all keys. The idea is to slowly wean you away from having to hear a drone as a key reference and have the key center become a natural part of the way you hear. To do this you will work on each set of singing exercises and slowly remove the drone until you can hear a cadence and then sing all the way through any exercise in this book by only getting a key reference to start. There are 4 CDs that accompany this book will help you reach this goal.
About the Author
Bruce Arnold is a guitarist, composer, educator, and author. As a musician, he has achieved a sound that sets him apart by applying jazz improvisational techniques to 20th century-12-tone compositional methods. He has recorded three critically ac-claimed CDs that document his unique approach to composition and improvisation, and he has also pioneered the use of the guitar as a controller via the computer pro-gram SuperCollider. Bruce co-leads the group Spooky Actions which takes music from sources as far aï¬ eld as Native American songs to classics by composers such as Webern and Messiaen as vehicles for improvisation. Bruce has a distinguished and versatile performance history, having performed with Stanley Clarke, Joe Pass, Joe Lovano, Randy Brecker, Peter Erskine, Stuart Hamm, the Absolute Ensemble under the baton of Kristjan Järvi,and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is the author of over 50 books on music education and directs the ground-breaking NYU Summer Guitar Intensive, which annually brings together the best guitarists in the world to cre-ate an inspiring educational environment for the serious student of guitar.
