books about: brass     books:       Art of Saxophone Playing31 reviews Larry Teal Suzuki Method International, 1963 Great book This book is a staple among saxophonists of all veins (jazz, classical, and anything else). It is a must-have, and for good reason. It gives insight in to every aspect of being a saxophonist, including some brief but helpful information on doubling. Some chapters are very in depth, though others are less so. A great find and worth every penny.             Art of French Horn Playing13 reviews Philip Farkas Suzuki Method International, 1956 This is indeed the french hornists' bible! This book is my favorite of all time-- and for a teenager, that may seem strange. I have played horn for about four months, and this is my reference for any issues from technical problems, to practice advice, to encouragement and warnings. Philip Farkas speaks in a way that I love-- he offers frank advice and talks to the reader in a voice that clearly states that he is a fellow hornist, a friend ...             Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters: More than 100 Years of Recipes Discovered from Family Cookbooks, ...23 reviews Marilynn Brass, Sheila Brass Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2006 watch out for the pan sizes I am giving this book five stars because every recipe I have tried has been, if not outrageously good, then at least delicious. Plus, the text is interesting and the pictures of antique kitchenware are great, making this my favorite cookbook to bake from right now. I am starting to notice a trend though, after making the chocolate peanut butter cake. It did not fit in the pan size that was ...             The Brass Ring12 reviews Mavis Applewater Limitless Corporation, 2003 Mavis Hits A Homerun !!!!! I have been a fan of Mavis' stories since I first discovered them on the net. This is a story of mystery and romance. At a time when we all need a little escapism Mavis entertains and enthralls us with this wonderfully entertaining read. You WILL fall in love with this story and it's wonderfully funny and romantic characters. Please reach for this Brass Ring before it's too late.             The Art of Jazz Trumpet7 reviews John McNeil Gerard & Sarzin Publishing Company, 1993 Worthy Investment, Interesting Trip Fellow Travelers - I have found John McNeil's "The Art of Jazz Trumpet" to be truly helpful and inspiring. The exercises presented are tough, though-provoking, and very cleverly focused on amplifying skills that appear - to me at least - to be genuinely useful in a jazz setting. Personally, I see the value of this book less in the applicability of specific lines ("licks") to tunes, and more ...             Hit Me, Fred: Recollections of a Sideman12 reviews Fred Wesley Duke University Press, 2002 Fred's Funk Fred Wesley is "THE MAN". Here is a musical funk legend who has really paid his dues. He was the glue that kept the Funk going strong despite of James's legendary self-righteous super-ego and his harsh tyranny ways that interferred with the creative freedom and progressive potential of the most talented musicians that God has ever put on earth. James invented Funk which I will give him the ...             Play Trumpet Today! - Level 1: Play Today Plus Pack (The Ultimate Self-Teaching Method)12 reviews Hal Leonard Corporation, 2001 Play Trumpet Today! - Level 1 (The Ultimate Self-Teaching Method) Play Trumpet Today! - Level 1 (The Ultimate Self-Teaching Method) The best - the DVD is excellant and so simple to understand. The CD is terrific and the book is wonderful but you do need to be able to read music for the book as my son only started the DVD was the best part as it did describe everything he needed to understand with first time trumpet. He has played this to his friends that come ...             The Art of Jazz Trumpet7 reviews John McNeil Gerard & Sarzin Pub Co, 1993 Worthy Investment, Interesting Trip Fellow Travelers - I have found John McNeil's "The Art of Jazz Trumpet" to be truly helpful and inspiring.

I play guitar, and wanted to start up on the harp. Within the first week, I was playing them together better than I ever thought I would. The book is a great tutorial, very detailed, including an excellent history of the harp. The pictures couldn't be better, and guitar chords are shown. It's just a very effective book. And then, put in the cd's and you find that "Doc" ...             Jingle the Brass8 reviews Patricia Newman Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2004 Lots of fun and informative too. A definite must for your home library! Kids love the detailed watercolors and the almost-musical text. Who knew railroading slang was so fun? Pretty soon your kids will be asking for their milk as "whitewash" and telling your their "trick is up" at bedtime. Train enthusiast of all ages will enjoy this trip down the main line.             Mel Bay Presents Jazz Saxophone Licks, Phrases and Patterns4 reviews Arnie Berle Mel Bay Publications, 1987 excellent phrase book. The exercise in this book are commonly heard phrases that can be played over standard chord sequences. As practice material they are great and the explanations are simple and enlightening. This is a good book for developing dexterity and a feel for the keys and scales. Improvising is much more than repeated practiced licks but working through this book will give a player some chops to fall back ...             The Brass Verdict: A Novel6 reviews Michael Connelly Hachette Audio, 2008 Brass Verdict Just finished and enjoyed it tremendously. Have not read any of Conneley's books, but plan to read more. This one reminded me of John Grisham's earlier books. Lots of suspense.             The Weight and Wealth Factors4 reviews Angie Hollerich Brass Ring Productions, Ltd., 2000 The Weight and Wealth Factors Great book, I had never realized the parallels between weight and wealth. The book made alot of sense and was easy to read. I loved the activities at the end of each chapter, they made it easy to get started. I realized I needed a push in the right direction and this book did it for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone who struggles with their weight or wealth.             Technical Studies for the Cornet6 reviews Herbert L. Clarke Carl Fischer Music Dist, 1985 An absolute must! This book is THE standard book for developing technical facility on the horn. The key to playing any instrument well is learning your way around the instrument, and this book is the best way to get there. Every serious trumpet player I have every met, including myself, has used this book and continues to use it. You will literally never outgrow this book. Go all the way through it, and then start ...             Another Place, Another Time: A U-Boat Officer's Wartime Album5 reviews Werner; Graves, Donald E. Hirschmann Robin Brass Studio, Incorporated, 2004 Splendid Book, More Technical than Most One of the services with the highest casualty rate during World War II was the German U-Boat service. Of the 40,000 men who served in that branch, 28,000 were killed. Werner Hirschmann was one U-Boat officer that entered the German Navy in 1940 and served until 1945 when he and his boat surrendered to Canadian forces. This book covers several different subjects. The first few chapters deal ...             Prelude to Brass Playing4 reviews Rafael Mendez Carl Fischer Music, 2004 Mendez Book Excellent book! Mr Mendez explains concepts clearly and gives examples from his own experiences as one of the best, if not the best, trumpeter the wolrd has ever known. This book complements many of the beginning music method books available for the trumpet. Very much recommended!             The Lord of the Rings Instrumental Solos4 reviews Shore, Howard Alfred Publishing, 2004 Great Score This is a wonderful score book for violin with piano accompaniment. Inside there is a removable section with just the violin sheet music and it comes with a cd with a demo and back-up music to play along with. I truly recommend this for anyone who plays violin. I enjoy the Lord of the Rings, but I also feel that the music is beautiful on its own.             Where Right and Glory Lead! The Battle of Lundy's Lane, 18145 reviews Donald E. Graves Robin Brass Studio, 2000 A Soldiers Battle in the War of 1812 This is an excellent study on the bloodiest battle of the War of 1812. For many years little was known about the series of battles fought along the Niagara Frontier in 1814. This book helps to correct that gap. A companion volume to the author's earlier title on the Battle of Chippewa, here again many myths are corrected. Winfield Scott recklessly lead his well trained brigade against ...             When the Heavens Are Brass: Keys to Genuine Revival4 reviews John Kilpatrick Destiny Image Publishers, 1997 Prayer - The Acid Test of Devotion Pastor Kilpatrick gives us the keys to genuine revival: prayer. Because we serve a sovereign God, He longs for His children to pray and pour out His Spirit upon us (Joel 2:28-32; Matthew 6:8). The book is a challenge to prayer. Too many of us read books on prayer, talk about prayer, listen to sermons on prayer but few of us pray. If we prayed half as much as we watch on TV or spend time on ...             Satchmo5 reviews Gary Giddins Anchor, 1992 purejoy - like the man himself Louis Armstrong is one of the central figures along with Duke Ellington of Giddins's incredible Visions of Jazz, and that sent me to Satchmo, a mindblowing collection of photographs and a biographical and musical discussion that brings the man and his work to life. Although Giddins covers some of the same ground here as in Visions, it is a far more expansive study built on the idea that ...              search for books american, americana, another, cookbooks, discovered, factors, grandmothers, harmonica, heirloom, history, instruction, instrumental, journals, officer, original, patterns, phrases, prelude, presents, recollections, saxophone, self-teaching, sideman, sisters, studies, teaching, technical, ultimate, verdict, wartime books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
