     Ironpower Publishing has combined 3 classic piano technique books into one great value book. These original books have been a staple of piano teachers and their students for around a century. Because these books are often used together we thought it made great sense to pack them into one complete money saving volume. Instead of having to purchase the books separately you now have the convenience and economy of them all being in the same book.     The books contained are by Hanon, Czerny, and Schmitt...     Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Exercises, Complete     Czerny: Practical Method For Beginners On The Pianoforte Op.599     Schmitt: Op. 16: Preparatory Exercises For the Piano, with Appendix by A. Knecht     Hanon's book (Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist in Sixty Exercises, Complete) is regarded as the most widely used piano technique book ever written with millions of copies having been sold. For over 100 years teachers and students have been using the progressive exercises contained within to build finger independence, agility and strength as well as flexibility in the wrists. A player's technique is guided through successive exercises that are sequenced to allow the fingers rest from the fatigue caused by the previous exercise. Hanon's original introduction is included as a preface and he recommends students to have had at least a year of experience before using this book.     Czerny's book (Czerny: Practical Method For Beginners On The Pianoforte Op.599) contains Carl Czerny's popular set of piano exercises that although designed to improve technique the pieces are not mechanical etudes but can be played as real music.     Aloys Schmitt's book (Schmitt: Op. 16: Preparatory Exercises For the Piano, with Appendix by A. Knecht) is a collection of exercises divided into three sections. The first section is for acquiring the greatest possible independence and evenness of the fingers through a variety of single and double note patterns within the range of a fifth. The second section contains exercises for passing the thumb under the fingers, preparatory to the practice of the scales and arpeggios. The third section is an appendix written by A. Knecht and contains notated traditional scales and arpeggios with fingering.     The compilation of the 3 complete books is comprised of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts.      We hope you get a lot of benefit from performing the many various exercises in this book and with consistent practice takes your piano playing technique skills to a new level.

This book is comprised of scans of original works by Stephen Foster. It's a warts and all reproduction of sheet music and elements of another book that's over a century old, so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of the original manuscripts. Contained within are 5 instrumental works, 15 Hymns, and 136 songs. In total 156 compositions which highlight the brilliance of Foster. There is an introduction that is a brief overview of the life and times of Stephen Foster. And there are a couple of special sections at the end. Appendix I is a musical tribute called "Lullaby" by Percy Grainger to Stephen Foster's song "Camptown Races." Percy Grainger was an accomplished composer in his own right, best known for "Country Gardens". Appendix II is a delightful collection of the beautifully decorative covers from the original sheet music of some of the songs in this book. Because this book is comprised of the original lyrics of the songs written well over a century ago, it should be viewed in terms of historical significance, not political correctness. While some of the words and sentiments are now out of date and politically incorrect, the melodies remain beautiful and timeless. Slang terms and insulting stereotypical themes which were once mainstream and common, are now offensive and totally unacceptable. Despite these lyrical shortfalls when viewed in today's light, the underlying simple melodies remain timeless classics. The catchy tunes are hard to get out of your head, and will live on forever, just as they have already lived on 150 years since Foster departed, so please enjoy. Here's just some of the songs... - Ah, May the Red Rose Live Alway - Angelina Baker - Annie, My Own Love - Away Down Souf ("Way Down South") - Beautiful Child of Song - Beautiful Dreamer - Bring My Brother Back to Me - Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming - Come With Thy Sweet Voice Again - Comrades, Fill No Glass for Me - Cora Dean - Dolcy Jones - Dolly Day - Don't Bet Your Money on de Shanghai - Down Among de Cane-Brakes - Dream of My Mother and My Home, A - Ellen Bayne - Eulalie - Fairy-Belle - Farewell, Mother Dear - Farewell, My Lilly Dear - Farewell, Old Cottage - Farewell, Sweet Mother - For the Dear Old Flag I Die - For Thee, Love, for Thee - Gentle Annie - Gentle Lena Clare - Give the Stranger Happy Cheer Glendy Burk, The - Gwine to Run All Night ("Camptown Races" or "Doodah") - Hard Times Come Again No More - I Cannot Sing Tonight - I'd Be a Fairy - If You've Only Got a Moustache - I'll Be a Soldier - I See Her Still in My Dreams - I Would Not Die in Spring Time - I Would Not Die in Summer Time - Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair - Jenny June - Katy Bell - Kiss Me, Dear Mother - Larry's Good Bye - Laura Lee - Lily Ray - Linda Has Departed - Linger in Blissful Repose - Little Belle Blair - Little Ella - Little Jenny Dow - Lizzie Dies Tonight - Lou'siana Belle - Love I Bear to Thee, The - Lula Is Gone - Maggie by My Side - Massa's in de Cold Ground - Merry Little Birds Are We - Mine Is the Mourning Heart - Molly, Dear, Good Night - Molly, Do You Love Me? - Mother, Thou'rt Faithful to Me - My Angel Boy - My Boy Is Coming from the War - My Brudder Gum - My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night - My Wife Is a Most Knowing Woman - Nell and I - Nelly Bly - Nelly was a Lady - No Home, No Home - None Shall Weep a Tear for Me - Oh!

We have made it into a workbook format, with blank practice pages to do the drawing exercises. Of course you can use your own drawing paper if you don't want to draw in the book, and this will also prevent or minimize imprints of the pencil tip on other exercise pages. And for further drawing convenience the publisher grants permission to photocopy pages for personal use.      In this remarkable course you will learn to draw many types of cartoon-like faces and expressions. Some of the faces you will learn to draw are faces of children, men and women, and clowns. There are both profile and frontal views.

The youngest child may grasp the magic progress of this way of working and he or she will quickly learn to draw the picture naturally and well.      We think anyone who applies the knowledge contained within this course will be delighted with their results, and the speed and ease at which they attain them.

It is not the compiler's purpose to dwell upon the antiquity, the history, and the beauty of the custom of carol singing in connection with the Christmas Festival. There is an abundance of literature on the subject already. The purpose of this book is to place in the hands of those who enjoy singing Christmas carols and holiday songs an abundance of good material. This book contains 424 titles, most of which are well over a century old. These traditional classics have amongst them brilliant works by such famous composers as Mozart, Mendelsohn, Bach, Haydn, and Handel. In no special classification of music has tradition persisted to a greater degree than in Christmas carols; and any collection that does not include the classics of Christmas song is not complete. So, in this book will be found the best examples of the ancient carols, together with more modern compositions embodying the same reverence, simplicity, and spirit of joy that thrill us in the older ones. They have been compiled from various sources including rare old books that have long been out of print. A glance at the table of contents shows the broad scope of the work, ranging from Pierpont's light and breezy fun children's favorite "Jingle Bells", through to the lofty spiritual heights of Handel's uplifting "For Unto Us A Child Is Born". AMONGST THE 400+ SONGS ARE SUCH WELL KNOWN EVERGREEN CLASSICS AS: - A Boy is born in Bethlehem Auld Lang Syne Away In A Manger Christians Awake salute the Happy Morn Coventry Carol Deck The Halls For Unto Us A Child is Born From the Eastern Mountains Go Tell It On The Mountain God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Good King Wenceslas Hallelujah Chorus Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Here We Come A-Caroling (Wassail Song) I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day I Saw Three Ships In The Bleak Midwinter It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring Jingle Bells Jolly Old St. Nicholas Joy To The World O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste fideles) O Come O Come Emmanuel O Holy Night O Little Town Of Bethlehem Once In Royal David's City Silent Night The First Noel The Twelve Days of Christmas We Three Kings We Wish You A Merry Christmas What Child Is This PLUS HUNDREDS MORE GREAT SONGS! And in sending forth this volume the compiler would adopt the words of John Audley, the blind and deaf chaplain of Haughmond Abbey, about the year 1426- "I pray you sirs, both more and less, Sing these carols in Christemas." RELATED KEYWORDS: - christmas songs sheet music, christmas carols, sheet music, songs of praise, christmas sheet music for piano, piano christmas sheet music, sheet music for christmas songs, christmas sheet music book, christmas carol songs, christian sheet music, christmas piano sheet music, christmas sheet music, christmas carols songs, christmas carol song sheet, sheet music christmas carols

     Ironpower Publishing has combined five classic violin method study books into one great value book. These original books have been a staple of violin teachers and their students for around a century. Because these books are often used together we thought it made great sense to pack them into one complete money saving volume. Instead of having to purchase the 5 books separately you now have the convenience and economy of them all being in the same book.     The books contained are by Heinrich Ernst Kayser and Henry Schradieck: - KAYSER 36 Elementary and Progressive Violin Studies (Etudes), Op. 20 (Complete) SCHRADIECK The School of Violin Technics: -Book 1: Exercises for Promoting Dexterity in the Various PositionsBook 2: Exercises in Double StopsBook 3: Exercises in Various Bowing SCHRADIECK Complete Scale Studies     KAYSER's book 36 Elementary and Progressive Violin Studies, Op. 20 (Complete) was actually originally 3 books and all thirty-six studies have been combined here. It's no wonder generations of violin teachers have loved these teachings for so long. Even their very young level students get very much involved in these studies. They help strengthen both the note-reading and bowing very fast.     It's an ideal starting book for beginners giving them a good variety of position-shifts and basic fingerings.     Born in Hamburg in 1846, Henry SCHRADIECK made his first public appearance at the age of six. He studied at Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where he gained first prize. Later he went to Moscow as Professor of the violin. He taught at the College of Music of Cincinnati, the Hamburg Conservatory, and later taught in New York City and Philadelphia. In addition to writing pedagogic material for the violin in the way of the studies and finger exercises in this book, he earned the reputation of being one of the foremost violin teachers of the day. Schradieck's notable students include Ottokar Novacek, Norman Black, and Theodore Spiering.     As well as being a master teacher, Schradieck was a master player (faculty peers considered him to have attained flawless, perfect violin technique). His teachings in this book are not music they are drills that will make you play better...fast. Start your warm up with these exercises and your playing and intonation will drastically improve in a short space of time. The lessons are concise and will give life to your playing.     You will never outgrow the teachings, they will last you a lifetime of learning. Each drill can be learned in every key, and then change the bowings and repeat so the learning potential is near unlimited. When utilized on a regular basis, the lessons can take you step by step from where you currently are to levels of intonation and control that may seem unimaginable at the present time.     The compilation of the 5 complete books is comprised of scans of pre-1923 sheet music by various music publishers. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts.     CLICK the orange Buy Now button above to order your book today!

      Ironpower Publishing has combined 3 classic violin string method study books into one great value book. These original books have been a staple of violin teachers and their students for around a century. Because these books are often used together we thought it made great sense to pack them into one complete money saving volume. Instead of having to purchase the books separately you now have the convenience and economy of them all being in the same book.      The books contained are by Franz Wohlfahrt, Jan Hrimaly, and Rodolphe Kreutzer...      Franz Wohlfahrt: 60 Studies for the Violin, Op45 (Etudes No. 1-60)Jan Hrimaly: Scale-Studies for ViolinRodolphe Kreutzer: 42 Studies (Etudes) or Caprices for the Violin      Wohlfahrt's book (Franz Wohlfahrt: 60 Studies for the Violin, Op45) is actually originally two books of 30 Etudes each, combined into 60 Etudes or studies. The Etudes are a bestselling mainstay of violin study and are a must-have for any violinist. The sixty studies which increase in difficulty are wonderful for learning technique and also notes. The studies are fun to play while learning and designed to reinforce and enhance the student's technical foundation. They are not your normal boring scales. They are small pieces of actual music that concentrate on technique. Playing actual music versus scales puts more demand on the bow arm, so the learning is more conducive to actually applying the technique musically. Great to be used in conjunction with the two other violin technique books in this volume.      Hrimaly's book (Jan Hrimaly: Scale-Studies for Violin) of scales & scale based exercises is a classic of violin technique teachings. Hrimaly was an infl uential Czechoslovakian teacher and violinist. He was associated with the Moscow Conservatory for forty six years. These are his progressive scale studies in 10 sections. The many different scales and arpeggios are a great teaching for all levels and will never be outgrown by the student.      Kreutzer's book (Rodolphe Kreutzer: 42 Studies [Etudes] or Caprices for the Violin) is a must have for serious violin students. For intermediate to early advanced violinists the famous exercises are standard repertoire.      The compilation of the 3 complete books is comprised of scans of pre 1923 sheet music by various music publishers. Overall it's a warts and all (although we have cleaned up and digitally enhanced as much as possible) reproduction of some very old manuscripts so there are some minor printing imperfections owing to the age and quality of these original manuscripts.     We hope you get a lot of benefit from performing the many various exercises in this book and with consistent practice takes your piano playing technique skills to a new level.
