American Popular Piano (Level 6)—
Christopher Norton & Scott McBride Smith.
Level 6 is composed for the intermediate
to late intermediate student. This level
includes melodies that involve an increasing
range of simple scale-type crossings and
position changes. The melody is often found
on the top of triads. Harmonies become
more sophisticated but textures are still
relatively uncomplicated with minimal
inner voices. Rhythm includes syncopation
involving ties, rests and shifting accents
as well as minimal use of sixteenth notes.
Technical requirements call for increasing
speed, lightness and a broader range
of dynamics, some pieces use octaves.
Improvisation expands their skill set to
include basic "vamping" skills; adds step-by-
step building blocks ofr basic melodic and
vamp construction; introduces terminology
and labels for scales, modes, and jazz
chord notation (charts.) Comparable pieces
from classical repertoire include the easier
pieces from Bartok's For Children, sz.
43; Clementi's Sonatina Op 36 No. 2 and
No. 3; and selections from Bach's Anna
Magdelena Collection.

American Popular Piano (Level 7)—
Christopher Norton & Scott McBride Smith.
The melodies in Level 7 involve more
complicated scale-type passages and
position changes, including some leaps. The
melody is often found on the top of triads and
4-note chords. Harmonies become more
sophisticated and textures become more
full with larger stretches. Coloristic textures
are used more as well as more advanced
syncopation. Technical requirements
demand reasonable speed, agility and
accurate leaps. Improvisation advances
step-by-step building blocks for melodic
and vamp construction; more advanced
terminology and labels for scales, modes
and chords; and an increased complexity of
interplay between the hands.

Building Walking Bass Lines—Ed
Friedland. A walking bass line is the most
common approach to jazz bass playing,
but it is also used in rock music, blues,
rockabilly, R&B, Gospel, Latin, country
and many other types of music. The term
"walking" is used to describe the moving
feeling that quarter notes create in the bass
part. The specific goal of this book is to
familiarize players with the techniques used
to build walking bass lines and to make
them aware of how the process works.
Through the use of 90 minutes of recorded
rhythm tracks available online using the
unique code in the book, players will have
the opportunity to put the new learning
directly into action. This book literally gives
bassists the tools they need to build their
own walking bass lines!
