Playing the Christmas Classics by Ear

2007-11-03T14:17:00.000-07:00

Play Christmas Songs or ANY songs by Ear!

2007-11-03T14:06:00.000-07:00

There are literally tons of music sites out there --- some are quite informative while others simply waste your time. As I was surfing the net (a while back), I came across a site which just blew me away!

It offered over 60 free online piano lessons, resources, and even a Christmas Keys DVD for students who are serious about learning to play the their favourite Christmas Songs by ear. As I began reading about the Christmas Keys course, I was truly amazed at all the topics covered in this course. It covered beginning techniques, music theory, chords, progressions, improvisation, and more! Believe me... these are just some of the concepts in the course. To tell you the truth --- I can't even remember all of topics covered
because there are so many.

At this point, I knew I had to contact the author about setting up some type of deal for my website visitors. I have good news --- I was able to get an unbeatable deal to offer my visitors this course at more than 50% off retail price (it's amazing what "asking" can do).

I personally recommend "Christmas Keys" course and through my relationship with Jermaine (the author of this course), I've been able to get him to throw in a few bonus items (Bonus 40 min of never before seen footage). He has taught literally thousands of musicians how to play the piano by ear. I don't know how long he can allow me to offer my visitors this amazing bargain, but if you are serious about learning to play the piano by ear, I wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

I highly recommend it.

Nobuya Sugawa Presents:Dance of UzumeforAlto Saxophoneby Piet SwertsAdvancedGrade 4 - 7Full Track CD Included*NEW*

Dance of Uzume is a concertino that is based on a Japanese Myth. Out of anger toward her brother Susanowa(the storm god),Amaterasu (the sun goddess) hides in a cave. The goddess of joy,Uzume,succeeds in luring the sun goddess out of the cave by dancing wildly.The joy and laughter from the other gods as they watch Uzume arouses Amaterasu's curiosity and with her appearance, the light on Earth returns. This fantastic new original work will provide a much needed addition to the advanced repertoire for saxophone and piano. It also comes with a demo CD played by the famous Japanese saxophonist Nobuya Sugawa showing you exactly how it should be performed.

On the CD, Nobuya Sugawa plays the pieces first. The piano accompaniment, played on a grand piano, follows. However, playing together with a live pianist - where musical interaction develops - is of course even more enlightening.

The CD features the original version of the concerto,for Alto Saxophone and Concert Band.

35 pages

The Japanese saxophone virtuoso Nobuya Sugawa is highly regarded in Japan,as well as in Europe and the USA,for his sophisticated and brilliant tone,brilliant technique and refined musicality.He gives over 100 recital and concert appearances a year and has recorded more than 25 CDs.
