Download or read book Stick It to Your Chops written by Kirby Jacobsen and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stick It to Your Chops is an exhaustive sourcebook containing challenging, effective, and enjoyable exercises for advancing technical skills on the snare drum. The book is divided into three sections: Warm-Ups, Expanding Accents and Rhythms with Rudiments, and Combinations.

The book’s patterns and rudiments focus on developing consistency and evenness of strokes, dynamic control, and dexterity. All exercises in this book are written in standard percussion notation with both right-hand and left-hand leads. Online audio examples are provided for select exercises from each section.

Book excerpt: The death of a child should never pre-date that of their parents. It's happening far too often more and more in the current generation. The cause of the current epidemic of depression and teen suicide will be studied for decades to follow. In the present, we as parents must open our eyes, our ears, our minds, and our hearts to a desperate situation. The second leading cause of death of our young people is suicide. When, during your own youth did you ever give serious and pensive thought to taking your own life? Perhaps in a fleeting moment when you experienced sharp pain of a love lost or a word said, but today, the option of suicide is "on the menu" of choices and our youth talk about that menu item daily. We implore readers to learn about this taboo topic... "The 'S' Word" and to help ensure it is not kept a subject we don't talk about, but rather one we openly acknowledge and fight against as informed parents to a lost and lonely generation.

Download or read book Surrealist Games written by Alastair Brotchie and published by Shambhala. This book was released on 1993 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Surrealist movement that arose in Europe in the early 1900s used playful procedures and systematic stratagems to create provocative works and challenge the conventions of art, literature, and society. They conducted their experiments through art and polemic, manifesto and demonstration, love and politics. But it was above all through game-playing that they sought to subvert academic modes of inquiry and undermine the complacent certainties of the bourgeoisie. Surrealist games is a delightful compendium that allows the reader to enjoy firsthand the methodologies of the Surreal, with their amazing swings between the verbal and the visual, the beautiful and the grotesque. It is also a box of games to play for fun: poetic, imaginative, revelatory, full of possibilities for unlocking the door to the unconscious and releasing the poetry of collective creativity. The boxed set contains: * A 168-page sewn, illustrated hardcover book packed with outrageous language games, alternative card games, "Dream Lotto," and automatic techniques for making poems, stories, collages, photomontages, and candle-smoke drawings. The illustrations are by such artists as Max Ernst, Hans Arp, and Tristan Tzara * A fold-out game board for the "Goose Game," designed by Andr� Breton, Yves Tanguy, and others * A Little Surrealist Dictionary
