The Picture of Music - Author - Lesley Anne Sears - Book Reviews
"The Picture of Music" is an ultimate step-by-step beam to personification piano that can't only assistance teach a beginner, it can brush up a advanced actor as well. Lesley Anne Sears has altered my perspective of piece music from one of illegible symbols with usually faint approval to one of order, patterns of notes, and beauty. For many of us, a adages "How shortly we forget" or "Use it or remove it" relates to music. Like many children, we took piano lessons during my singular digit years, played a few other instruments in my teens, though now, decades later we can't review a note.
Lesley Anne Sears writes from a humble, non-threatening and clearly interesting introductory level, unpretentiously presumption no before musical believe or ability exists with a reader. Using a most crafty examples and elementary demonstrations, she starts with locating on a keyboard and Clef Middle C. Once we see C, we got it. From there it's all about intervals - adult and down. She calls this "The See C Piano Method."™
If this sounds too easy to be true, it's loyal it is so easy. The work and talent has all left into a Herculean bid creating this book. Her training skills using a visualization of low-pitched descriptions, a orderly march of exercises and a extensive use of drawings, graphics, keyboard diagrams, and pool cats make for a singly effective method. Yes, pool cats - a line drawings of witty cats put a reader during ease, defusing any frustration, and yield love and support. Plus we don't feel as if you're personification music alone!
The Picture of Music
"The Picture of Music" is not a book to read, though a truth of instruction to savor, absorb, cushion and cherish. The work that went into a course curriculum needs to be matched with a desire to learn by a student. In essence, we shall learn to play as we teach my child -- what fun!Lesley Anne Sears unselfishly offers her cherished "See C Piano Method"™ of instruction so one's inherently human end of personification music by converting written song to a keyboard becomes facilely possible. Thoughtfully, even a spiral contracting of her book enables we to place it honest on a piano or a song stand so having a pages sojourn open. Her varying use of type, font, boldface and italics to punctuate her difference adds countenance and feeling to her book, from her pianissimo (soft) common rise to a mezzo gift (moderately loud) bold, incomparable type.
Laden with graphics, low-pitched notes and given an uncrowded, atmospheric amount of room per page creates her work a "multimedia" display - or as many so as can be achieved by a book. And a Kitty, ah yes, a most witty of relaxing line drawings imaginable, adds a depth of a comfortable and hairy feeling and adore to her work. we would rarely recommend this book and will keep it in my song reference library to use for instruction in a future. To Lesley Anne Sears, from her readers' station ovation praising her masterpiece, we scream Bravissimo!
