Produktbeschreibung
Harmony Comes Together is designed to equip the student with the necessary skills to write both four-part and three-part classical harmony and to cross the divide between contemporary popular, jazz and contemporary classical writing styles with ease and understanding, all the while giving experience in skills required for both classical and contemporary examination syllabi. This harmony method is the part of an integrated course devised by Margaret Brandman which provides materials for ear-training (audio and workbooks), theory,improvisation, technique and repertoire. Harmony Comes Together Book 1 is best by those who have completed both Margaret Brandman's Contemporary Theory Workbook- Book 2 and the first sectionof Margaret Brandman's Contemporary Chord Workbook- Book One. Key features of this book are: 1) The Gestalt approach - using the gestalt (whole view) of the topic of harmony, students are equipped to see, hear and understand the chords in context. 2) An emphasis on the understanding of the cycle of fifths and chord tables 3) The understanding of root progressions which helps the student of harmony make connections between various progressions and the movement of the parts. This also imparts the knowledge of the effect of the progressions: static, weak or strong 4) The use of colour coding and graphics to impart concepts and illustrate ideas 5) The use of various types of labelling from both the British System and the American system, so that information in this book can be used with multiple examination syllabi 6) The use of both traditional system of figuring for chords and modern chord symbols to make the link between old and new systems of music notation and harmonic understanding. 7) The awareness of sounds in both classical and popular music 8) The encouragement for the student to play and listen to the progressions and to interpret them with modern rhythms ·
Autorenporträt
Highly-awarded composer, pianist, and music educator, Margaret Brandman's career in music spans more than 50 years. As a successful and innovative composer, she has combined her compositional interests with her interest in accelerated learning techniques for music. Margaret is a fully represented composer at the Australian Music Centre. She has composed an extensive range of works for a variety of ensembles, ranging from full orchestra, to intimate chamber works for piano, voice, and a range of instrumental combinations. These works receive international performances and recordings. She is represented by Parma Recordings, Ambition Records, ModernClassicalX, and Furore Music. In addition to her compositional output, Margaret has written and published many music education materials in her contemporary series of education materials. These range from books for junior students to text books for high school and tertiary study. Her investigation of keyboard topography, musical patterns, and the gestalt approach to fingering of the scales, is published in Pictorial Patterns for Keyboard Scales and Chords. With over 100 published books and compositions, much of her time is spent composing, performing concerts of her compositions both in Australia and internationally, and presenting master classes on music education.
