A step-by-step process introduces basic recorder skills in a highly interactive context of singing, moving, responding to Kodaly hand signs, echo play, and accompanying on pitched and non-pitched percussion.Improvisation is a key component of the instruction;Carley's suggested exercises-presented in clear, incremental steps-make this model accessible for teachers regardless of previous experience. Repertoire is either newly composed or drawn from folk sources." Leslie Timmons in American Recorder
Recorder Improvisation and Technique Book TwoReviewers Rave"Book Two builds directly on skills introduced in Book One, also introducing the alto recorder and F fingerings. On both soprano and alto recorder, 13 lessons review pentatonic keys, then explore the diatonic modes, and finally briefly introduce improvisation over chord changes." Leslie Timmons in American Recorder, the magazine of the American Recorder Society "Clear, well developed teaching activities beautifully set out in a way that makes them accessible to both experienced and inexperienced teachers....It is very clear that Carley] is a master teacher." Kim Kendrick in Ostinato, the National Journal of Orff Canada "Your recorder books are excellent ... completely in the spirit of the Schulwerk." Gunild Keetman, co-creator with Carl Orff of the Orff Schulwerk What's Inside?"Book Two continues masterfully], introducing the alto recorder. This is an excellent resource for experienced teachers of the upper grades, 6, 7 and 8. The repertoire continues with folk music, largely English language, and also brings in a fine selection of composed music written for recorders. Part l of Book Two begins by reviewing the familiar pentatonic scales, but introducing the F fingerings of the alto recorder. Parts ll, lll, and lV deal with hexatonic, and diatonic scales, then we move on to shifting chords and paraphony. There are plenty of lovely ideas for student improvisation, and the emphasis on doing first, then applying literacy, is still evident. Students are encouraged to move back and forth between soprano and alto fingerings, at their own pace, of course. They are also challenged to build a repertoire of songs, in both fingerings, that they can play by memory. Integration of two or more other Orff media is included in every lesson. Kim Kendrick in Ostinato the National Journal of Orff Canada
Recorder Improvisation and Technique Book Three is for the advanced student who already plays both C and F recorders. Picking up where RIT Two leaves off, RIT Three embarks on a grand exploration and appreciation of a wonderful musical mix. Take songs of Medieval Europe, blend Indonesian and African layered subtleties of melody and rhythm, then add in North America's musical traditions, and individual improvisation. The third volume, although specific to recorder, is equally applicable to the musical development of any vocalist or instrumentalist...Carley deftly guides the player through scales, melodic ornamentation, decoration of the third, canons, chord changes, descant creation and free improvisation. She includes many fine musical examples, but the focus is the emphasis on improvisation leading to composition in the forms that parallel the history of Western music. Leslie Timmons, American RecorderRecorder Improvisation and Technique Book Three shifts the emphasis away from basic recorder instruction. These lessons focus in detail on how the Orff-Schulwerk Volumes basic sequence can be applied successfully to recorder teaching and playing. The improvisational and compositional techniques in RIT Three are then readily transferable to other instruments and the voice.Compositional forms are explored with improvised materials using major, modal, and minor scales, as well as dominant and subdominant bass lines and improvised melodies. Historical, traditional, and contemporary approaches to harmony are considered, combined with improvisations using Organum, Faux Bourdon, heterophony, shifting chords, descants, and more. A final chapter explores improvisation for movement, free solo improvisation, and group improvisation.

Y pienso tambi n en Del Mediterr neo al Plata (Amancay Ediciones, 2012), de la escritora argentina residente en los Estados Unidos, Isabel Garc a Cintas, quien a partir de las historias que le escuch contar a sus padres sobre sus bisabuelos italianos Carmelo y Filomena, y sobre los espa oles Isabel y Luis, ha escrito una conmovedora saga familiar que abarca tres generaciones. (En sus p ginas) la autora no solo ha contado la historia de su familia en la Argentina de finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX, sino tambi n la de toda una poca." (Manuel C.

At age seven, Isabel Perez-McCoy stared at her school picture and thought, "I'm an ugly duckling." That one negative thought planted in her young mind and grew over the years and reaped years of self-rejection, self-hatred, low self-esteem, and struggle with her weight.The peer pressures and the dictates from society's false paradigms that women have to look a certain way just to fit in had its grip like a trap on Isabel's heart and mind. She wanted to break free and walk in the love of God. God took Isabel on a journey and revealed to her that she and other women possess an inner beauty that is only found through His Son, Jesus, the Bridegroom, the true paradigm of true beauty and perfect love. Inner beauty is not just about body image. It is about the whole person. Through twenty-two lessons, prayer prompts, reflections and challenges readers will: Know that they are fearfully and wonderfully made Begin to find freedom from negative self-talk and mirror wars Find their own path to inner beauty Learn to embrace inner healing through prayer Understand that God created them with an inner beauty that's unique to them What others are saying about the book? Inner beauty is an easy, yet unforgettable read Isabel did a wonderful job walking us through her own scriptural journey from self-rejection to finding her own inner beauty. Isabel emerges with a powerful authority and something meaningful to say. She provides some essential keys to connect with our Creator, such as worship, being thankful and celebrating our body, which allows us to remove our eyes from the linear focus of our pain and discomfort in order to begin the healing process. I love the practical application in each chapter. It promotes prayer, reflection, and challenge which Isabel uses to draw that which is in our hearts to the surface that we might deal with deep-seated issues. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy --Sandi McGuire Elijah List Ministries Isabel's journey is one of beauty and strength. She is vulnerable, thoughtful and thought-provoking. This is a book every girl who longs to know God should have. --Marguerite P Sigafus MA Former LPC, Editor Isabel begs the question of what does a life fully surrendered to God look like. In this book, she dissects and categorizes just that. With illuminating questions at the end of the chapters, Inner Beauty becomes more than a book. It becomes a personal journey to achieve a life surrendered to our own true inner beauty. Mrs. McCoy has created an effective structure for a dynamic devotional. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's not afraid to look in the mirror. --Dr. Deborah Darling, Prophet and International minister
