Vocabulary for the college-bound student

5 reviews
Harold Levine

Amsco School Publications, 1965

Best resource for improving SAT scores!
I remembered having this book in High School. Even then I recognized it's value in helping to build a large vocabulary. None of the other vocbulary books even come close. Words are grouped by type, such as words related to "sobriety". Words are also split into groups with either Latin or Greek roots. No other book does this. I have searched in vain for a resource to buy this book for my own ...

Amsco Publications, 1998

Super Choice
This was a very good choice for me, it gave me alot of different music to choose from. The style made it eay to read and turn pages. I was most impressed with the idea I could go from a lullaby to a marching tune without having to switch books.

Peter Pickow

Amsco Publications, 1993

Lots of variety
The best thing about this book is the variety. There are so many songs included in this book and several different levels of difficulty. This is by no means a beginner book, but there are songs that will challenge you and songs that will please you.

Eric Turkel

Amsco Publications, 1988

Excellent introduction to arranging
This book is an excellent introduction to the theory and application of arranging techniques, geared to the synthesist. It contains chapters on melody, percussion, harmony, strings, and vocals. It comes with a CD that plays the examples in the book - really helpful, IMHO.

This is an amazing sheet music book featuring the sheet music for each song from Tori's latest CD "To Venus And Back". The book includes all 11 studio songs (Bliss, Juarez, Concertina, Glory Of The 80's, Lust, Suede, Josephine, Riot Poof, Datura, Spring Haze and 1000 Oceans) and studio versions of the 13 live tracks on the album (Precious Things, Cruel, Cornflake Girl, Bells For Her, Girl, ...

Listen Up Music Publishers
You know, it seems like common sense to me, but publishers just can't get it right-MUSIC COMPILATIONS SHOULD ALL BE SPIRAL BOUND! Thank you Jerry Willard and Amsco for attempting this unprecedented feat. Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Sevilla, the Grand Solo and dozens more all in one book! Amazing. Now I have to get volume two.

Laurie Berkner Songbook Bk/CD

Laurie Berkner

Amsco Publications, 2007

PERFECT for Laurie Berkner fans and parents!
If you want to play Laurie Berkner songs to your kids or get a book where they can learn them for piano or guitar, this is it! It's a VERY nice songbook that includes 25 of her easy-to-play favorites. I especially like that it includes strumming patterns for guitar. There are activities, too, but I don't really use those. But I could see how classrooms might. Also included in this book is an ...

Library Of Ragtime & Early Blues Piano ((the Library of....))

4 reviews
Peter Pickow

Amsco Publications, 1995

Clear, easy-to-read sheet music. A lot of Scott Joplin.
Includes: The Entertainer, Easy Winners, Swipsey, Maple Leaf Rag, Elite Syncopations, Weeping Willow, and more of Joplin. Also contains several cake walks, ... delightful pieces not often heard. This book removed the mystery of ragtime for me, an amature pianist, and I discovered to my great amazement, that, with some effort ... I can play it, even the Maple Leaf!

JamTrax: More Blues

Ralph Agresta

Amsco Publications, 1998

Yup, More Blues to Jam With
If you liked the first Blues Jamtrax book and cd, you will likely enjoy this one as well. I think that this one is perhaps slightly more advanced, but still well within the reach of a dedicated beginner. This book and cd are exactly what they claim to be--jam tracks. They are not method books or references, they simply provide you with one of the easiest ways I have found to practice (and ...

Don't think I could ever stop using it, Its a great book, if ...

Romantic Guitar (Frederick Noad Guitar Anthology)

4 reviews
Frederick Noad

Amsco Publications, 1986

Excellent guitar music source
This is an exceptionally well produced book with clear print on good paper. the commentaries at the head of each piece are enormously helpful as are the smaller touches; for instance the transposition of sections of music to match the wider necks of modern guitars. Overall the variety of the music offered should keep both the guitar enthusiast and concert performer contented.

Easiest Book of Piano Classics

Amsco Music

Amsco Publications, 1998

Beautiful Music on the Fly
Easily 5 stars, this book is an unregrettable buy for students and teachers (especially) alike. However, it should be noted that books like this are dangerous because they can catch you in a loop of non-progression. Because the pieces are of the beginning levels and because the volume is so vast one can easily cease to challenge themselves progressively. Do not think of this book as a ...

Tori Amos For Easy Piano (Tori Amos)

Amsco Publications, 2000

Easy Piano Book A Goddess-send for Less Advanced Players
I've been a Tori Amos fan ever since I was eleven and always wanted to be able to play her music, but her being the excellent musician she is, it was difficult for me to play out of her existing music books. The music isn't really easy, but it is manageable for all the fans with less musical expertise than she has, which is probobly the vast majority. I'm really glad she came out with this, ...

Tori Amos For Fingerstyle Guitar With Tablature (Tori Amos)

Tori Amos, Marcel Robinson

Amsco Publications, 1999

The best buy you can possibly make
I've been playing the guitar for about 6 months and when i knew there was a book of Tori's songs for guitar i couldn't wait to get it. The best thing is that i wasn't disappointed. It is very well explained, it's easy, and when you listen to the cd and you get the feeling of how the song should be played is very exciting. With practice i assure you that anyone can learn how to play those songs. I ...

Pink Floyd: Animals

Music Sales Corporation

Amsco Publications, 1977

Pink Floyd Guitaring & lyrical cynicism at its best
The animals is not generally known for it's musical prowess. It was also admitted by the band that they needed something badly for a tour and threw in this material. While waters dominates the album's song credit, David Gilmour's contribution to it's music has not gone unnoticed. Dogs features some of David's best guitaring and of which he admittedly was very proud of. For him as well, It is not ...

CHORDS & PROGRESSIONS FOR ROCK GUITAR (Guitar Books)

4 reviews
Ralph Agresta

Amsco Publications, 1998

This book is superb
I am not an accomplished guitarist (I play at an intermediate level) so I need all the help I can get. This book is great for everyone except, perhaps, the novice guitarist. It sets forth chord progressions and gives examples of well known songs that use the progressions. The book is accompanied by a cd which illustrtates the progressions. One thing the book does not do is show you how to play ...
