inspiring confidence to play by touch-Making sight reading easier and more effective. A progressive set of imaginative pieces to take students and teachers step by step through the technique. Don't Look at the Keys! shows students how to play by touch to feel their way around the keyboard using as signposts - the long cracks between some white notes together with the groups of two and three black notes. As music is essentially a listening experience it is almost instinctive for pianists to look down at the keyboard for visual reassurance to guide the fingers when playing. This is particularly true when playing from memory or improvising. Richard Smith 's Don't LOOK At The Keys! teaches students how to play by touch feeling their way around the keyboard using various 'signposts' whilst keeping their eyes on the music. Designed to make sight reading easier and more effective the books in this innovative series contain a progressive set of imaginative pieces to take students and teachers step by step through the technique. This is not just another sight reading book. Don't LOOK At The Keys! contains actual practice pieces as well as instructions that demonstrate how toplay Piano by touch. It instructs and develops the skill and confidence to look at the music instead of the hands and helps those students who commit pieces to memory or play by ear then wonder where to look while playing. This is the first of three books in the series. Book One is in two parts; hands separate and hands together all pieces have both hands in a five finger position each of which is illustrated at the top together with the key (all keys are on the Grades 1 & 2 sight reading syllabus). The pieces in Book Two are within an octave in both hands and Book Three beyond this range.

For a man who quit an established recording career in order to study the fine art of making violins David Bromberg sure knows how to work a room. A veteran sideman to Dylan Ringo Starr and Jerry Jeff Walker as well as a solo performer and bandleader of more than 40 years standing the bearded and bespectacled Bromberg may have kept a low profile through the so-called MTV era. But he didn't sleep through the more recent recording industry implosion and its attendant rise of the Pod People. Rather he took his boundary busting energy back to the live stage with the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank New Jersey playing a big role in this master entertainer's gameplan. The multi-instrumentalist and musicologist has made the Count Basie Theatre a crucial pit stop in his annual tour schedule for each of the last four years ... While Bromberg may take the spotlight for an unaccompanied number or two it's his role as bandleader and raconteur that prompted the New York Times to brand him 'electrifying.' A performance by the 12-piece David Bromberg Big Band fireballs forward like a bull in a used record shop tracing its own musical logic - Bob Wills to Bob Dylan to Bo Diddley to Dave Dudley - with station stops anywhere from Sam Cooke to 'a bluegrass tribute to Ethel Merman.' Not to mention some fondly remembered originals from his vintage albums and a lot of things that you thought had been written by the Grateful Dead Patsy Cline Cab Calloway or even the Clash. Titles include: Sloppy Drunk I'll Take You Back Dark Hollow Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor Who's Lovin' You Tonight This Love Affair Tongue It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry If You Don't Want Me Nobody's Sharon and Driving Wheel
