My teacher knew that I was working hard and one day when she noticed my frustration she told me to get Sight Reading for the "Classical Guitar: Level 1-3" and, same title, Level 4-5. I did and immediately discovered what I had not sensed or ...             The Music of The Eagles Made Easy for Guitar (The Music of... Made Easy for Guitar Series)13 reviews Eagles Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1983 Guitar Book I bought this for a gift for someone. It came in better condition than I expected. The person loved it and and enjoys it.             John W. Schaum Piano Course: Pre-A : The Green Book13 reviews John W. Schaum Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 John W. Schaum Piano Course: Pre-A, the Green Book This old favorite course is the best in my opinion. I use it for all my beginning piano students because it is the one I was taught as a child, so I'm most familiar with it. Kids today are different than they were when I was young, so it takes quite a lot of explaining and patience with them, but I think this beginner book does very well in attempting to teach the young student how to begin to ...             Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course: Lesson Book, Level 36 reviews Willard A. Palmer Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1987 Tales of an enthusiastic beginner I really enjoy studying Alfred's Basic Piano Course. I started playing piano rather late at age of 31. I finished part 1 and 2 and now having started with part 3, I recognize true progress. The music in this book really starts to sound like "true" piano works, using more pedal and finger acrobatics. I have been looking forward to this book for quite some time, since my piano teacher indicated, ...             Dan Coates Complete / Advanced Piano Solos (The Professional Touch Series)16 reviews Dan Coates Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 Timeless classics with beautiful arrangments Dan Coates writes in a style much like my own, so I really enjoy the selection of songs and his arrangements of them. I've searched for years for a book like this! So pleased with it. There are 77 songs, most of them will always be timeless favorites. Some of the pieces are a little challenging, but I like that. I've been asked to play for a wedding and reception. Most all of these songs ...             Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One Piano Course: Level 3 (Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course)4 reviews Willard A. Palmer, Morton Manus, ... Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1996 Excellent piano method I am nearing the end of Alfred's All-in-one Book 1, so have only browsed this book. But, I can comment on what I like about the methodology and the books: 1. The progression of theory, exercises, and performance materials is very well thought out. When Palmer says this exercise should be practiced daily, do it. It really helps improve your technical skills. 2. The quality of the ...             Teach Yourself to Play Mandolin13 reviews Dan Fox Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1996 nice book, speedy delivery Just wanted to say thanks, it is a nice book. I look forward to spending some time with it and my mandolin. Thanks for the speedy delivery.             4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set29 reviews Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 Great for Improving Your Drumming This book serves it's purpose, as does it's title. There are tons of exercises, and the way you use them are pretty much up to you. The reason many have problems with this book is because it is very advanced and requires a lot of time, patience and practice. If you're serious about improving in your drumming, you will not be dissapointed and will value the outcome. Again, it's not a beginner book ...             Beyond Basics Fingerstyle Guitar (The Ultimate Beginner Series)27 reviews Mark Hanson Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1998 An Instructional Book To Get Excited About! Like many of the other reviewers, I thoroughly recommend this book/CD, Beyond Basics Fingerstyle Guitar. I have been playing guitar for around 2 and 1/2 years, and have mainly worked on electric lead guitar. In the last few months, I have developed a desire to play fingerstyle guitar as well as improve my chord-playing. Many songs demand that you have these skills. This book has taken me much ...             Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory Complete (Books 1-3)19 reviews Andrew Surmani, Karen Farnum Surmani, ... Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 Alfred's Utterly Confusing Line of Music Theory Books This is a good series if you are trying to learn music theory. The material is well organized, and clearly explained. Anyone can learn the essentials of music theory from these books. Unfortunately, the material is available in so many formats, you can get lost trying to figure out which version to buy. 1st up, you can buy 3 separate books. Since each book is only about 40 pages long, this ...             50 Gershwin Classics3 reviews Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1997 GREAT GERSHWIN! This is one tremendous find! THe Gershwins wrote some very memorable tunes, and the piano arrangements (also includes vocals and guitar chords) are lush and exquisite! I have been looking for a book of Gershwin for piano awhile now and this is PERFECT! Lots of fun and pleasure, though it is not "EASY PIANO". Moderate ability is required, but you can always fake it by playing the chords and melody ...             John W. Schaum Piano Course: A-The Red Book : Leading to Mastery of the Instrument5 reviews John W. Schaum Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 Excellent for kids and adults I used the older version of this book when I was a child and it was excellent. Easy to read and understand. Perfect for learning to play the piano if you want to go at your own pace. I had a private instructor as well but the book was the key to my lessons. I have almost the entire collection but they are a bit out-dated so I plan to buy the new ones soon for my own review, and also so I can ...             Trans-Siberian Orchestra : Christmas Eve & Other Stories5 reviews Orchestra Trans-Siberian Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1998 TSO Music book I am a big fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and wanted to leard to play some of their songs on the guitar, so I ordered this book. It is exactly what I hoped it would be, with chords and words and sheet music.             Schaum Note Spellers Book 1 (Schaum Method Supplement)9 reviews John W. Schaum Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1999 Excellent for young students learning to read those notes! As a piano teacher of over 20 years, this is one of my favorite tools to help get beginners solidly on the road to reading and recognizing the notes of the treble & bass clefs. It will be a little tedious for any child who is not a beginner, but for the rest, it will be a valuable tool to help them with this critical skill. It begins with the most basic recognition of the lines & spaces, then ...             Beginning Autoharp Instruction Book6 reviews Bonnie Phipps Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1983 Finest Autoharp Instruction Publication on the Market Today If you only buy one Autoharp Instruction Book, this is the one you need to get. It is very easy to understand. You will be playing in minutes. I have several Autoharp Instruction Manuals, but not one can compete with this book. Everthing you need to know, is located in the book. It's a great book and well worth waiting for.             Sight Reading for the Classical Guitar, Level IV-V"3 reviews Robert Benedict Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1985 Sight Reading for the Classical Guitar Level 4-5 I teach classical guitar and have found this book to be one of those "rare jewels" I sometimes am fortunate to come upon. This has to be one of the best books for understanding how to read classical guitar music notation, learning how to play up the neck in higher positions, phrasing, familiar and less frequently used tempo terms such as "Placidamente" (peacefully), and "Giocoso" (playfully). It ...             Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer: Coordinating Independence As Applied To Jazz And Be-bop With Cd ...12 reviews Jim Chapin Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 2002 "You can always improve your technique" That quote stuck with me from a Peter Erskine video in which he pays homage to (though doesn't directly mention) the genius of Jim Chapin. I spent part of my workday cutting and pasting from this book to get the exercises to fit on one page because I wanted to remove distractions such as turning the book page mid-exercise! This requires we focus. What is especially nice is that this book ...             Teach Yourself to Play Guitar (Book & Enhanced CD)12 reviews Morty Manus, Ron Manus Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., 1992 A TEACH YOURSELF, MUST HAVE...
