A Creative Approach to Music Fundamentals (with CD-ROM and Keyboard Booklet)

10 reviews
William Duckworth

Schirmer, 2006

Excellent content - criticism surprising
Criticism of this text as not good for people with little background is somewhat surprising. It begins rhythm with the idea that music is organized around an underlying pulse, then introduces basic note values and meters. It begins pitch at the level of "this is a staff." How much more basic can you get? I am an experienced music theory professor, and I find this an excellent systematic approach ...

Truly Inspiring...
You can't but be inspired after reading this wondrous book! I will admit first hand, I personally have no intention (nor the talent), to ever become a world class artist by any means. I do have passion to create however, and this book along with another I received around the same time, Your Home A Living Canvas: Create Stunning Faux Finishes & Murals with Paint, by Curtis Heuser, have almost ...

Richard Florida

Basic Books, 2003

Great explanation how the World works and where it is heading.
Richard Florida is one of the most original thinkers explaining how the world works. Others are better known such as Thomas Friedman. But, not many are more insightful. I got to R. Florida's work in reverse. I read his most recent book first Who's Your City?: How the Creative Economy Is Making Where to Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life. I enjoyed this book so much; I read this ...

Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain

Stefan Mumaw, Wendy Lee Oldfield

How, 2006

Fantastic Book!
I have to say that even after working through all of the exercises, I want to go back and do them again! The book inspired us to write our own exercises. To the person who posted about the sideways layout--I think that's the point. Get out of your cube, look at things differently. A 45 or 90 degree turn works wonders sometimes. :) It is definitely NOT just a book for designers. I work with ...

wholisitc look and approach to Early Childhood Ed
This curriculum book manages to cram as much information into its 530 pages as possible. It starts with an overview of child development in chapter one, entitled "How Children Deveop and Learn".

Lisa Whelchel

Focus, 2005

If you like James Dobson..
I was going to buy the book and then I read the first 3 reviews and ended up not buying it!! Big mistake! I checked it out from our church library and I absolutely LOVED it! It really encouraged me to use more Scripture with my kids when disciplining and to use more creative responses that correlate more with the heart issue/behavior than with a response that I would use no matter what. I now ...

Tom Kealey

Continuum International Publishing Group, 2008

It's all about the funding and the time to write
Everyone considering an advanced degree in creative writing should read this book. The evaluations of individual programs aren't all that important -- what's more important is the way Kealey lays out the whole MFA process: what to look for in schools, what the application process is like, and how to make the most of your time once you finally get in. Kealey doesn't have an agenda, he has a ...

Writing Creative Nonfiction

Story Press, 2001

Does Creative Nonfiction Exist?
Over the past several years there has been quite a controversy as to what exactly is creative nonfiction. In fact, there are some who even go so far as denying its existence and claim there is no such animal! If we are from the school that accepts that it is alive and kicking, we must then be able to describe what exactly is creative nonfiction. Carolyn Fauché and Philip Gerard, editors of ...
