More Easy Classics to Moderns 7 reviews
Denes Agay
Music Sales Corp, 1980
Great for those who don't have time to play every day
This book is full beautiful classical songs for beginner pianists. It's even fun for the more advanced student as very little practice is needed in order to play them.

Angels Dance & Angels Die: The Tragic Romance of Pamela & Jim Morrison106 reviews
Patricia Butler
Music Sales Corp, 1997
The most revealing glimpse yet
After "No One Here Gets Out Alive" laid bare the hedonistic and troubled history of Jim Morrison and the Doors, it seemed all available information had been served up for the public appetite and there was nothing left to say. Numerous volumes on the topic followed but most only echoed what had already been said. For nearly three decades, "No One Here" has remained the ultimate guide to the ...

Melvyn Hiscock
Music Sales Corp, 1987
Read this before building your first guitar
Excellent book for building and electric guitar. The instructions are wonderfully clear. There is also loads of general guitar information you'll pick up as you read through it.
Worth reading for any guitar enthusiast whether you or not you are considering building one yourself.

The Art of Teaching Piano4 reviews
Music Sales Corp., 2004
Very very useful
Not only does this book cover technical aspects of piano playing and is straight forward and easy to read, but it also prepares prospective teachers for real-life challenges such as how to teach handicapped students and students who are determined but have very little confidence, among those other psychologically extra-demanding teaching situations. It equips piano educators with knowledge that ...

Solo Guitar Playing, Bk. 120 reviews
Frederick Noad
Music Sales Corp., 1994
Great classical guitar book
First let me say that I would not recommend this book unless you are at least an intermediate classical player, if not, then begin with Noad's "Solo Guitar Playing 1", which goes from beginner to intermediate. Both of these books come with a cd containing most of the songs from the book, and neither one has tab. Solo guitar 2 has some technical instruction, such as counting dotted notes, rest ...

Electronic Projects for Musicians8 reviews
Craig Anderton
Music Sales Corp., 2003
Great Book, Great Price
I've been around stomp boxes for a few years now (I worked at 4 Guitar Centers and was consistently the 'go-to' guy in the guitar accessories/effects department) and have had a chance to hear good natural sounding botique type pedals and really compressed not so great pedals. For me, this motivated me to get into building stompboxes.
The book is really easy to follow. Topics covered ...

A New Tune a Day for Violin, Book 1 (A New Tune a Day) (A New Tune a Day)2 reviews
Sarah Pope
Amsco / Music Sales Corp., 2005
Superb!
I've worked my way through about one-half of this book and it is fantastic! The tunes are very reachable for a high-level beginner, even if you're not working with a teacher. I wish some of the tunes were a bit longer, though. A worthy investment.

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.

The New Complete Keyboard Player: Omnibus Edition (Complete Keyboard Player) 1 review
Kenneth Baker
Amsco / Music Sales Corp., 2006
Not complete, only for beginners
The title is extremely misleading. This introduction to playing piano and reading music is very basic and focuses on playing the melody line with the right hand. If you just bought a Casio and want to play the horn part on pop songs, this is for you.

They Fought the Law : Rock Music Goes to Court4 reviews
Stan Soocher
Music Sales Corp, 1998
Glad I Bought This For Class ? Very Useful
I bought this book for a course I'm taking about the music business and after reading it, I'm so glad I did. It's an easy read since it's broken into several chapters...each about a particular musician or group. The chapters tell the story of a legal battle or a deal gone terribly wrong. It illustrates the pitfalls that lay before artists when it comes to publicity, trademarks, estate planning, ...

The Complete Irish Tin Whistle Tutor 12 reviews
L. E. McCullough
Music Sales Corp, 1987
Good buy
The book itself is very helpful and has many different type of songs to learn from. However if you don't know how to read music it can by difficult to follow because it doesn't go over in detail how to read music. The Cd is also very helpful, it lets you hear what you need to play.

Pop Piano Book10 reviews
Mark Harrison
Music Sales Corp, 1995
Just The Book I've Been Looking For...
I have been playing the piano for over 13 years, mostly classical, more recently jazz and pop, but I've never been very pleased with my contemporary piano skills. Most books that teach the techniques of contemporary styles assume the reader has little or no playing background and don't progress very far beyond the basics, clearly not much help for the serious player.
However, The Pop Piano ...

How to Play Boogie Woogie 2 reviews
Frank Booth
Music Sales Corp, 1997
For Beginners? Yes Definitely
I have been playing piano for ten years and I finally decided it was time to move away from classical music and try something new. I looked into several Boogie Woogie books and ended up buying this one about a week ago.
This book has a wonderful collection of songs which are fun to play and sound like professional pieces. The book orders the songs from easy to the more difficult to help build ...

Frank Zappa: Electric Don Quixote10 reviews
Neil Slaven
Music Sales Corp, 1996
The present day composer
This is a compelling account of the work and life of Frank Zappa, in that order.
Throughout this book it is the music of Frank Zappa and it's creation which is always to the fore. To be fair this makes it a little unbalanced in reading it because of the cast of characters with whom he worked about whom we would like to know a little more. Given that it's main concern is his work then this is ...
