This book approaches bongo playing in a very user-friendly way. It is a must for all students who wish to learn the basic styles, patterns, and techniques from world-renowned artist/teacher Richie Gajate-Garcia. This package contains two CDs with Richie performing all the exercises and includes play-along tracks to practice with. Styles include Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, pop/rock, funk, and R&B, along with a section on school jazz band use. This is a complete study of the bongo drum and should be fun for all who use it.

These easy-to-read, progressive exercises by Joanne Martin develop a student's reading skills one stage at a time, with many repetitions at each stage. I Can Read Music is designed as a first note-reading book for students of string instruments who have learned to play using an aural approach such as the Suzuki Method®, or for traditionally taught students who need extra note reading practice. Its presentation of new ideas is clear enough that it can be used daily at home by quite young children and their parents, with the teacher checking progress every week or two.

Pedro (Pietro) Cerone nació en Bérgamo en 1566 pero pasó gran parte de su vida en territorios pertenecientes a la corona española, entre ellos Nápoles, en donde fungió el puesto de músico de la Capilla Real. Cerone debe parte de su fama a este tratado de música publicado en 1613, el cual ha servido para establecer las prácticas sobre composición musical existentes en el siglo XVI.
