Faber Music Ltd The Virtuoso Teacher
Book SynopsisBy considering The Virtuoso Teacher and how a teacher might attain virtuoso status, renowned educator and writer Paul Harris delves into the core issues of being a teacher and the teaching process.Trade ReviewHarris shows how to develop pupils’ responsibility and musical confidence, focusing on empathy, flexibility, enthusiasm, energy, and consistent involvement. No matter if you are teaching a beginner the first steps or working on a major concerto, his principles of supremely effective teaching remain the same. Harris’ inspirational book is one that had to be written and is certain to raise the benchmark for experienced teachers and the aspiring novices alike. Strings Magazine, June 2013 It is a book to be read and re-read...It does say that it is an 'inspirational guide for instrumental and singing teacher', but it is also excellent for those employing such teachers. It would also be excellent for class music specialists to read to gain insight into excellent instrumental and singing teaching. Why limit something so good?. Jackey Birch, SMA Guild of Adjudicators & Workshop Presenters This is a book which all teachers of whatever instrument should read. The book contains a mine of information and sheer common sense. I know Paul to be a wonderful teacher and he should be encouraged to run courses which would be extremely useful and beneficial to aspiring teachers. Kit Shepherd, Director (National Youth Wind Orchestra of Great Britain) The Virtuoso Teacher wears its considerable knowledge and inslight lightly, and is the antidote to other hefty tomes on music education....and is undoubtedly a must-read for any enlightened instrumental or vocal teacher.

Faber Music Ltd How to Play Jazz Piano
Book SynopsisDiscover Pam Wedgwood’s exciting world of jazz piano! How to Play Jazz Piano is a fun and simple introduction for young players with a basic knowledge of how to play the piano (about Grade 2 standard). It includes an introduction to improvisation,covers swing, syncopated rhythms, basic chords and scales and modes.Trade ReviewThis book does what it says on the cover, and does it with clarity, style and immense skill. There is a logical progression of 15 sessions that explain the fundamental elements of jazz, covering: understanding syncopated rhythms, how to swing, playing from memory, understanding basic chords and chord symbols, playing in different popular styles, scales and modes used in jazz, the beginnings of improvisation, and suggested listening to provide inspiration. There are also online resources available via a QR code or directly from the Faber website. I tried out some of the sessions with one of my pupils who loves jazzy pieces, but the thought of playing jazz with its different chords, blank bars and modes filled her with horror. We found that this book led us through all these potential pitfalls comfortably and most enjoyably. She got carried away and went leaping ahead – we then practised what we had learned about syncopation and swing on her Burgmüller piece! I can see this book becoming a classic ‘how to’ book, being tremendously helpful for GCSE music, teachers who want to teach ABRSM jazz exams, and for all pianists. I am delighted to say that Pam Wedgwood has done it again. Fiona Lau, Music Teacher Magazine, November 2018
