Adults' Experiences Learning Traditional Music Notation
ISBN: 9783639766035 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Many aspiring musicians never learn to read and write traditional music notation, yet they achieve a high level of proficiency in singing and/or playing by ear. What is wrong with this picture? Traditional music notation is beyond complex; it is complicated. The principles of music theory are simpler and more intuitive than the symbol system itself; music notation is more accessible to left-brained learners; and presenting notation before audiation is counterproductive. This study explored traditional music notation from multiple perspectives: the relationship of mathematics and music,...

When Shelley Payne, a close friend of Laura Scott, is brutally murdered, Laura and her partner, ex-FBI profiler Jim Elliott, investigate on their own time.

Laura and Jim soon determine that the killing was carried out by a professional hitman, although the police believe,...

Bowen Theory\'s Secrets: Revealing the Hidden Life of Families
ISBN: 9781324052647 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Murray Bowen (1931–1990) was the first to study the family in a live-in setting and describe specific details about how families function as systems. Despite Bowen theory being based on research begun more than seventy years ago, the value of viewing human beings as profoundly emotionally-driven creatures and human families functioning as emotional units is more relevant than ever. This book, written by one of his closest collaborators, updates his still-radical theory with the latest approaches to understanding emotional development. Reduced to its most fundamental level, Bowen theory...
