Wow new pic for KK too, nice tee shirt and quite an aura!
Well no luck at all yet trying to find out how to order the piano book that goes with this. SERVI hasn't sent info. yet.
Early impressions are, well..., very impressive.
The author has put together a rich book. This is already a banner year for theremin literature.
Early into this book for now: the style, graphic design and exercises are accessible, detailed in the annotations and practical. The fingering scheme targets playing a ninth without shifting the arm, other details of arm movement, vibrato get sequential exercises too. I'm pondering if for me the 9 positions might be a bit too granular for me and I find I'm translating them into the 5 from Rockmore that I've been using with 'plus' and 'minus' variations that fill in the smaller intervals (kinda like the Estrada method).
The exercises and practice advice are right on. And having progressive written notes pop up along the way are brilliant and a very strong information design. I love that they were not stingy with page space so text, scores, and images are together where they refer to each other. A rare thing in any book this day, Tufte devotees will be pleased.
Again I miss EWPro specific remarks on tuning since the full range approach is different with it's segmented octave selections.
More insights to come as KK says, but I'm just as giddy as a school girl on crack with all these new printed resources.
Let's hope that soon all the method masters will eventually produce their works in three formats of video, print and acc. CD. All of these formats help in different ways and I am thankful for each and every method that's produced.
