Brass fingering charts in all Major and minor keys.With transposition chart. For all valved brass instruments reading treble clef. (Does not cover a 4th valve for piccolo trumpet) .Learn your scales, fingerings and scale degrees/chord tones (highlighted) right from the start.Scales appear as Major/minor pairs, in order of increasing accidentals. Alternate and half fingerings are given where appropriate. A section at the end shows what notes can be played with each fingering so you can practice pitch aim. Range given is to C above the stave, with scales given from the lowest playable chord tone to the highest and scale degrees numbered. This book aims to be the best possible starting point for learning to play brass in any genre. Now updated with color coding to show the notes of the pentatonic scales, making it easy for beginners to improvise from the beginning in any key.The layout of the book is designed to impart music theory through visual representation, so that the relationship between the major and minor keys, how the chords are derived, the identity of the intervals and the make up of the pentatonic scales that come from them are all self evident.

Are you sick of using the same few scales over and over again when you play? Do you hear your favorite performers use sound flavors that you can't find on your instrument? If you wanted to play lines that sound different then this should help! These charts are designed to allow you to pick scales that fit chords, choosing from all modes of all commonly used "full" scales (The blues scale, soul scale and pentatonic scales are not covered here). The scale families are color-coded to help you quickly identify the spacing pattern and to see relationships when you look at the charts. The scale chart shows the intervals in the first mode of that family and then lists and shows the spacing pattern for each mode, and gives it's systematic name (which describes the scale's construction in relation to modes of the Major scale). The modes of each family are then written out, showing the intervals they contain and how they relate to the chord structure(s) that they can be used with so that you can use them to play phrases that fit the chords properly. The chord chart lists all of the chord types and shows which scales will go with them. It shows the spacing pattern for that mode, what it's intervals are and the spelling of the mode is given from a root of C. Chord extensions are given where they exist in a mode. You can literally pick scales that fit given chords at random and get a beautiful result. You will quickly learn the musical flavor of any scale you work with and be able to use it at will any time you play over any chord type associated with it. Learning these modes will add many flavors to your improvisation.

An in-depth analysis of the key contribution made by the women members of this important ruling family in maintaining and advancing the family's political, landed, economic, social and religious interests.This book examines the lives of aristocratic Anglo-Irish women in late medieval and early modern Ireland as illustrated by an in-depth cross generational analysis of women born or married into the important Ormond family between the 1450s and 1660. It outlines and assesses their individual and collective significance in negotiating the preservation and advancement of the family's political, landed, economic, social and confessional interests, from the chronic instability of the Wars of the Roses, through the vicissitudes of the Tudor, Stuart, Commonwealth and Restoration eras. In gauging the relative significance of the Ormond women's experiences and contributions, the book explores their roles in both private dynastic and wider public circles within the broader context of aristocratic families elsewhere in Ireland, England and continental Europe. The cross-generational approach provides a chronologicaland comparative appraisal of all aspects of each of these women's lives, roles and contributions - private, public, social, economic, confessional and political - all of which were intimately intertwined with the Ormond family's changing political fortunes, succession challenges, shifting dynastic alliances, and financial difficulties over the course of two centuries of profound change and upheaval in Ireland.
