Anyone with basic keyboard skills (equivalent to Alfreds Basic Piano; Lesson Book 2) can dig right in and begin learning jazz right away. Spanning from the major scale and basic triad theory all the way through 7th chords; pentatonic scales and modulating chord progressions; this book features a full etude or tune demonstrating every new concept introduced. Beginning Jazz keyboard breaks the age-old tradition of dry; intimidating and confusing jazz books; and provides an actual step-by-step and enjoyable method for learning to play in this style. The CD demonstrates examples and offers opportunity to play along.

Great way to learn anatomyBy Davin ErgunI had to purchase this book for an anatomy class in art school and I definitely like it better than other "strait" artistic anatomy books. It shows amazing artwork from historical art masters. with accompanying "traces" of key areas. pointing out the muscle groups they show. giving you a perfect example of how to apply anatomical knowledge in art. Plus it has all the standard anatomical charts as well. Really great book. Even if its not required reading I would highly recommend it if you want to improve your artistic anatomy.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The MastersBy BradThe imagery in this book is excellent. One does not have to travel to all the museums that contain the artwork in order to appreciate the work of the Renaissance. There is detailed bone structures and profiles as well as musculature in the appendix of the book. The book is not as detailed in anatomical references as the work of Raynes. but it is definitely a better one than "Human Anatomy ... Elements of Form" book that I returned. The book is much more affordable for those who want to be frugal with their purchases.
