(Jazz Instruction). A one-of-a-kind book encompassing a wide scope of jazz topics; for beginners and pros of any instrument. A three-pronged approach was envisioned with the creation of this comprehensive resource: as an encyclopedia for ready reference; as a thorough methodology for the student; and as a workbook for the classroom; complete with ample exercises and conceptual discussion. Includes the basics of intervals; jazz harmony; scales and modes; ii-V-I cadences. For harmony; it covers: harmonic analysis; piano voicings and voice leading; modulations and modal interchange; and reharmonization. For performance; it takes players through: jazz piano comping; jazz tune forms; arranging techniques; improvisation; traditional jazz fundamentals; practice techniques; and much more!

RoodtRefreshingly different and based on thinking rather than emotions only.The book is strong in setting a context for the reasons we need to consider new starting points for design.

An inspiring perspective on the paradigm shift that is happening right now in sustainability designBy Ash BuchananDesign for Hope explores how emerging changes in peoplersquo;s mindset and new approaches to design are working together to fundamentally impact the potential of our buildings and places. It looks beyond the limitations of isolated; incremental improvements; and paints a vivid image of how holistic consideration of buildings; people and nature is shaping a better future.The authors include real world examples of how leading practitioners are applying this new paradigm all over the world. It is an excellent resource for designers; or for anyone who would like to know more about the potential of built environment for enabling communities and organisations in meaningful ways. Well done on a fantastic and important book.
