Gavotte in D Major is part of the Suzuki repertoire. Scales Aren''t Just a Fish Thing takes it a step further by adding subliminal music theory into the study. Each note is color coded and each sharp or flat is reinforced with a music theory concept that subtly slips in the back door while learning the song. The Fun Finger Exercise included in this book is amazing. Shifting, finger dexterity and scales are all reinforced in this one study.

Dancing Toward the Light is Rachel Browne''s story, from her days as a ballerina with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet to her present status as a noted choreographer of spare, charged works of dance.

"Through her abiding devotion to her art, Rachel Browne has come to stand as a moral force in Canadian dance. Singular in her courage, her intrepid determination, her discipline, and in what at times has been sheer bloody-mindedness, throughout her dance career in Canada she has been a trailblazer." --from the Foreword by Grant Strate.

University of Washington Abstract On My Mind Carol Anderson Shaw Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Sarah Dowling School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Science On My Mind engages with complex issues of identity, love’s dialogue, and evolution of consciousness through story. The novella is set in an era of post-digital darkness, where transformation abounds as the world emerges into a new age of light, art, and love. In a pseudo-scientific time travel motif with a romantic trope reminiscent of Penelope and Ulysses, the text explores the liminal space between writer and reader, and the workings of narrative voice as bridge. We are in the mind of Isla, waiting at home for Eugene. Isla entertains suitors, while longing for her husband and falling in love with her writing. She is narrator and curator of the novella, which presents her multi-genre thinking, journaling, love letters, and body of artistic work, all to culminate in the premiere showing of her film, Clarity. Tampering with conventions, Isla’s form of storytelling conflates fiction with reality and tests the constructs of space and time. As she proclaims, things are not in order. The narrative presents her states of mind as she weighs personal decisions, runs reconnaissance, pursues archetypal quests, and writes. The makers and actors of her film intermingle on shifting planes of creation as the narrative interweaves the fairy tales, legends, novels, and real-life stories they live and tell. On My Mind is about creation. It is about love.

Parts of the Violin Bow Teacher Manual Picture Book is the second in the series of introductory books for establishing a great foundation for students of the violin. Teachers and students alike can study the parts of the bow to develop a similar language. When discussing the need to put your thumb on the ''thing-a-ma-jig'', it is better to refer to the correct part of the bow with the correct name. Placing your thumber on the frog or the frog throat is more precise. Teachers can keep the eBooks and kindle books on their computers or tablets and show their students what the part of the instrument looks like. With each new presentation of the part, a deeper understanding can be taught with the series of definitions and explanations for the use of the part.
