Music essentials for singers and actors : fundamentals of notation, sight singing, and music theory / by Gerle, Andrew,author.(CARDINAL)801838;
13. No one is alone: singing with other performers (Here I am: finding your starting note ; I'm part of that: consonance and dissonance with the piano accompaniment; piano conductor scores ; Do you hear the people sing?: choral singing and score layouts) -- 14. The writing on the wall: musical markings, repeat structures, and other score "road maps" (Be Italian: tempo marking ; Loud: dynamic and articulation markings ; Stop, time: pauses and held notes ; Speak low: other expressive markings and spoken text ; Back to before: repeats, D.C., D.S., and codas ; Ah, but underneath: underscoring and vamps ; On the street where you live: rehearsal numbers and letters ; Do it again: AABA form and other song structures) -- 15. Hey, look me over: close score reading for dramatic and character analysis (Mama, look sharp: every mark is a choice ; The wrong note rag: analyzing dissonance and contour to color your performance ; Watch what happens: dramatic inspiration from the piano accompaniment ; A change in me: reading key changes and altered notes for textual insight) -- 16. I have confidence: continuing to practice and consolidate your technique (I can see it: eye-training exercises ; A trip to the library: the joys of reading music alone and with others).5. Play a simple melody: the piano keyboard, notes, clefs and staves (I love a piano: finding notes on the keyboard ; I could write a book: writing notes on the staff ; Me, who am I?: clefs, letter names and the grand staff ; You will be found: matching notes on the piano with notes on the staff) -- 6. I've got your number: intervals and scale degrees (Go the distance: basic interval sizes and names ; Home: the tonic and scale degrees ; Do-re-mi: the Kodály method) -- 7. You do something to me: accidentals, key signatures and transposition (I am changing: accidentals and the black keys of the piano ; Ring of keys: the major scale, key signatures and the circle of fifths ; They just keep moving the line: transposing songs) -- 8. So big, so small: identifying and singing every interval type.9. Fascinatin' rhythm: cut time, triplets, swing; compound, composite and irregular meters (Two by two: cut time ; Squeeze me: triplets and grace notes ; By threes: compound meter ; It don't mean a thing: swing notation ; Unusual way: irregular and composite meters ; Change don't come easy: shifting meters) -- 10. Let it sing: combining your ear and your eye for increased fluency (Doin' what comes natur'lly: diatonic versus chromatic melodies ; Do you want to build a snowman?: triads and inversions ; Far from the home I love: strategies for chromatic melodies) -- 11. Changing my major: minor keys (Three friends: the minor scales ; Sing happy: minor scales in context ; Show me the key: distinguishing between major and minor keys ; Sisters: minor, diminished, and augmented triads) -- 12. I know things now: combining multiple techniques to form a coherent strategy for reading (What comes next?: reading ahead ; 1-STARRT at the very beginning: a method for analyzing and annotating any new song).Foreword / Kristin Chenoweth -- Author's note -- 1. Wilkommen (A little brains, a little talent: the ingredients for a career ; Racing with the clock: how to make the most of your rehearsal time ; Side by side: an artistic collaboration with the writer ; The sound of music: the elements of musical notation ; What more do I need: required tools of the trade) -- 2. I got rhythm: fundamentals (The rhythm of life: how we divide time ; You can't stop the beat: first definitions, quarter notes ; Just in time: time signatures, note shapes ; The speed test: metronomes and their use ; Breathe: rests) -- 3. In short: smaller note values (Tonight at eight: the eighth note ; We go together: beams ; A little bit off: off-beats and "ands" ; I'm old fashioned: vocal notation in older scores ; Pretty little picture: musical "words" and syncopation ; Small world: the sixteenth note) -- 4. Hold on: ties and dots (Married: ties ; Stay with me: dots).Singers and actors who can learn music quickly and accurately have an enormous advantage in today's increasingly competitive field. Award-winning composer and music director Andrew Gerle has written a music theory text especially for singers, focused exclusively on topics and techniques that will help them in the rehearsal room and on stage. Gerle leads readers step by step through every aspect of written music, using over one hundred real-world examples from Broadway scores. His common-sense, methodical approach demystifies abstract concepts, and his unique 1-STARRT method teaches singers to read musical "words" instead of single notes, enabling confident sight-singing of any score. Drawing on his years of experience as a Broadway vocal coach, Gerle also shows readers how to use music theory to think like a composer, analyzing scores for dramatic clues to create a more detailed and powerful performance. Each chapter is accompanied by downloadable audio examples and exercises to lock in newly learned concepts. - Provided by publisher.
