This is not a traditional A Dozen A Day type of technical book, it is more than that, linking exercises, repertoire and tips in one volume. I can see this being a very useful and effective book for my Grade 1 and 2 pupils – they probably will not even realise that it is about technique, and the 'Lang Lang effect’ may encourage and inspire them in an imaginative way.

Book SynopsisA collection of duets and studies that offers intermediate violinists a way to improve their technique.Trade ReviewThis is great stuff! I really like Mary Cohen’s teaching material, and what’s more, so do my students. As usual her use of exciting violin techniques, combined with thought provoking titles, gets the student thinking and using their imaginations in these intermediate violin duets and studies to develop vibrato, shifting and double stopping. She explores vibrato, glissandi and long flowing bows in Asleep in the Hammock, pizzicato bowing and left hand pizzicato in On the Spot and the clever use of a pizzicato ostinato line A Passing Passacaglia duet. Lots of dynamics and bowing indications are given to keep the student on their toes and in the latter half of Clouds of Blossom she suggests you work out your own possibilities for fingering and dynamics. I especially like her suggestions at the beginning of each piece, which remind the student (or parent) what it was all about when they get home.

Faber Music Ltd Improve your aural Grades 78
Book SynopsisImprove your Aural! Is designed to take the fear out of aural. Through fun listening activities, boxes to fill in and practice exercises, this workbook with 2 CDs, focus on all the elements of the aural test.Trade ReviewThe fun and varied activities include writing down what is heard (e.g. the root, third or fifth at the start/end of a phrase), matching the style and period of music, filling in the missing note from a phase, sight-singing a melody over an accompaniment and much more….The explanations for each activity are concise, and the tracks have been thoughtfully designed to allow students to succeed in each activity such as singing the lower of two and three-part phrases….This is an extremely beneficial aural workout for the intermediate musician and beyond! Stringendo Magazine, April 2010 The listening activities are exercises related to the type of question you’ll be asked in the exam, and the practice exercises give you the opportunity to try some mock examination questions. You can see if you were correct by downloading the answers from Faber’s website. The aural section in an ABRSM exam may only contribute a total of 18 marks to your exam score, but, as Paul Harris puts it, a more important reason for devoting more time to your aural development is that it will probably help you ‘more than any other single musical skill to improve as an all-round musician’. Pianist Magazine, December 2009 After sampling the various exercises in the workbooks..... I was left wishing that I had had a resource like this when I was struggling with the aural part of my Grade exams. It’s always been one of my bugbears in music teaching that aural is left to the last minute and that when it is finally ‘taught’, the teacher simply runs through the sample tests. Now at last the student has a patient teacher and can go over individual teats as wished….Brilliant and totally recommended. European String Teachers Association Newletter, Autumn 2009

Faber Music Ltd Real Ear Training
Book SynopsisTrade Review“This is the book I’ve been looking for all my life – it contains the secret to having a good ear!” Ed Balls, economist and pianist “Help is finally here for today’s music students! This course brilliantly develops the essential ability to hear and transcribe music.” Darius Brubeck, jazz pianist and composer “Roland’s excellent training method has taken the mystery out of how I can develop my ear in my musical career. His detailed, easy to understand and thoughtful approach is a must for those wanting to progress away from pure theory and guesswork and into making better choices real world situations.” Andrew Richardson, music student "As a teacher myself, I could really see the methodology behind Real Ear Training. It's logically organised in that you progress from stage to stage, and Roland provides you with a mental toolbox to help find pitches, identify chord qualities and recognize rhythms. One of the best things about this method is that it's engaging and fun. An absolute must-have.” Sahil Batra, musician “I used to work around ear training based on my intuition. Since I wasn’t used to reading, I struggled specially to write rhythms. Roland's Real Ear Training helped fill in the gaps of what I already knew in a very methodical way and also made me be able to notate so much better.” Ola Mekelburg, music student ”I found Roland’s Real Ear Training to be well-organised and designed for the student to work at their own pace. He provides effective tools, thorough information that is presented in a way that is very clear and understandable. I learnt a great amount within a relatively short time and improved my “natural” abilities. I would definitely recommend Real Ear Training for anyone who wants to develop their musical skills and learn to play more creatively.” Miss Tanisha Anderson, music student “Roland's method of teaching is unique and inspiring, it was helpful to me beyond words as someone who knew next to nothing theoretically at the time and I believe it really shaped my ability to consume knowledge in this field in a way that has not been matched since. Truly worth a read for any aspiring musician.” Simone Miller, music student
