TB Octavo

A revolutionary approach to music theory! This state-of-the-art series of books and recordings is carefully designed to make theory easier to learn and teach. It really works! One of the many features that sets this method apart is its emphasis on ear training to help students grasp the traditional theory concepts. Each unit has an ear training page, so students can hear what they have just learned (the teacher can either use the recordings on CD or play the examples on the keyboard.) Treble and bass clefs are used alternately in the examples, and well-known music is used to reinforce the lessons, including 24 classical excerpts and 38 folk songs from 14 different countries! This remarkable course covers all of the basics, including blues scales and chord progressions, modes, solfege and transposition, while crossword puzzles, word searches, note naming, and dynamics recognition games help to make learning fun! And the ear-training CDs use acoustic instruments, such as flute, clarinet, alto sax, trumpet, trombone, violin, and cello, in addition to piano, rather than synthesizer or piano only. Now's the time to bring your classes up to date with the freshest, most user-friendly theory method available! Your students will be glad you did!

Composed by Duke Ellington and arranged by jazz arranger and transcriber, David Berger, Limbo Jazz is a calypso-swing for the younger player. Based on the simple chord progression to Happy Birthday, the rhythm section plays a simple even eighth note, limbo/Latin style and the winds play with a slight swing feel and it all comes together just right! There's some neat plunger mute work too. This chart includes accessible ranges and written solos for alto sax, trumpet and trombone along with great fun and history. It also includes optional, nontraditional parts for participation by your concert band members. Way cool! Very highly recommended!
