Learn the intros, endings and turnarounds that all of the pros know and use! This new keyboard instruction book by John Valerio covers swing styles, ballads, Latin tunes, jazz waltzes, blues, major and minor keys, vamps and pedal tones, and more.Customer Review: This book is fun ...
The book has well written, very musical phrases. The author suggests usage with several standards that should be in everyone's play book and it's fun to work them in with tunes you already know - in the proper keys. Take them apart, and there is something to learn in most of them. Great for browsing. The printing is good and the binding isn't troublesome on the rack. Nice experience. I would have rated it a five, but some of the pages have a tendency to work loose.
Customer Review: I love this book
I try to spend a half hour with it every night. This book will appeal to a wide range of interests. Whether you are a composer interested in theory, or a keyboardist enhancing your chops, there is something here for you. Most examples are four-measures long, but rich in musicality (kind of like what the Bach chorales are for those studying classical music.) The examples progress from simple chord progressions to more complex, and each is one is clearly explained. Nice melodies too! It is apparent that the author has spent a lot of time with each of the sub-genres (swing, ballads, blues, Latin, etc.) and has distilled his knowledge into a neat recipe book that will serve as a launching point for those wishing to further their expertise.
If you have dreams of performing in the Winchester theatre royal, you have to consider that acting classes aren't cheap, and sometimes you even have to pay a hefty sum for being in a showcase, without any guarantee of getting an agent. Make sure you have enough money set aside for your acting needs.
Dance classes can also be additional training, though acting is what you will need most. Audition for school plays and community theatre for the experience!
I think they both have their merits, and they're both just so extraordinarily different with entirely different energies. For people who have never done theater, it's a difficult thing, because you have to be focused for an hour-and-a-half to two hours, whereas in film, if you shoot more than a page-and-a-half all at once, that's a pretty long scene. Then again, some people just learn things differently than others. Use whatever method best serves you.
By contrast, when you project a facade that differs from what you think and who you really are inside, others sense the disparity. When your speaking and who you are being don't match, it keeps you from being heard and decreases your personal effectiveness. It's time to imagine a different world. When doing a scene, if I say I'm at a restaurant, every single audience member could have a different image of where that scene takes place. One person might think fast food while another thinks fine dining.
For those looking for a job in acting, finding a talent agent is important. But, technology gives us a chance to create what we want instead of waiting for a call. Many people have found agents after they got their first gig. If a casting director really likes you and thinks you have the right look they will call you in for an audition. Actors, for instance, audition with directors and casting agents, hoping to show that they can play the role for which they're auditioning. Musicians hand out tapes and CDs of their music to convince nightclub and theater owners to book them for gigs.
The Winchester theatre royal and Army museums two fantastic sites to visit.
