This book digs into the authentic gospel stylings associated with great artists such as Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin. The first part of the book deals with the 3/4 or Slow Gospel style (used in the song Amazing Grace, for example), showing the harmonic techniques needed to create the real gospel sound on the piano. The second part focuses on the 4/4 or Fast Gospel style, where gospel harmonies are combined with up-tempo rhythms and syncopations to create exciting results (such as in Paul Simon's song Gone at Last). The techniques covered in this book will help you lead your congregation at the piano, and will inject new ideas into your rock, R&B and funk playing.

This comprehensive book/CD pack provides you with the tools you need to play in a variety of authentic gospel styles, through a study of rhythmic devices, grooves, melodic and harmonic techniques, and formal design. The accompanying CD features over 90 tracks, including piano examples as well as the full gospel band to help capture the true flavor of the style.

This book is to be used in conjunction with Moppets' Rhythms and Rhymes, teacher's Book.
Moppels' Rhythms and Rhymes is a collection of game songs set to strongly rhythmical verses (some Mother Groose) for children from four through seven. While this may seem like a wide age span, Rhythms and Rhymes Teacher's Book explains how the various activities can be used to suit several levels of development.
Rhythms and Rhymes focuses on strengthening the children's innate sense of rhythm and their understanding of melodic direction through body movements, the use of the piano keyboard, rhythm instruments and rhythmical poems and games. It should be used with groups of at least four.
Although the book is planned specifically as a part of the Music for Moppets pre-piano course to be given in the teacher's own music studio, it can also be used very effectively in nursery school, kindergarten, and first grade.
On completion of the Music for Moppets course, the children should be well prepared to continue in a more formalized study for piano, or any other instrument.
