Böcker av Margaret S Brandman

This book presents a suite of eight original pieces for Violin and Piano by award-winning composer Margaret Brandman. The pieces are composed in the Latin-American music genre covering a range of dance styles including, Tango, Bossa Nova, Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Argentinian Waltz, Bachata, Rhumba, and even Boogaloo. All the pieces are under five minutes in duration and crafted at a level suitable for advanced violin students. Each work is crafted to be a stand-alone piece. However, when played in the order presented in the book, the works form a unified suite suitable for senior school and tertiary institution recitals, and for professional performance. This combined edition contains both piano scores and individual violin parts, and performance notes provided by violinist Vov Dylan, who recorded the entire suite together with Margaret Brandman for a CD. The piano backing tracks for all the pieces are also available from Margaret Brandman's artist page on Gig-Alliance.

Daily Dexter-Flexers provides a series of graded technical exercises for beginning keyboard students using music educator Margaret Brandman''s simplified interval approach combined with scale topography. Novice pianists will be able to develop both speed music reading concepts and solid technical foundations in one book! Illustrated with lively pictures of Dexter (for dexterity) the Koala, this is an enjoyable way for piano and keyboard students to gain finger dexterity and hand co-ordination. In addition, the materials develop speed music-reading skills, including the location of keyboard signpost notes, awareness of the combined direction of music for both hands and the art of transposition.
