LCM Electronic Keyboard Handbook 2013 - Step This Way (Steps 1 & 2) contains the sheet music required for the two introductory examinations in Electronic Keyboard playing administered and assessed by London College of Music Examinations.

The latest installment in Backbeat's successful Handbook Series, The Keyboard Handbook is a step-by-step course in keyboard playing for musicians of all levels. Beginning with the basics of posture and technique, it offers a series of more than 80 specially written exercises and covers a wide variety of classic and contemporary musical styles – from blues to rock, soul to funk, gospel to synth-pop. The accompanying CD showcases a range of different electric and electronic keyboards, and features audio tracks of all of the examples shown in the book, allowing readers to work their way through each section at their own pace, while the lay-flat binding means the book is easy to use at the keyboard or with a music stand. The Keyboard Handbook also includes a straightforward guide to reading music and covers various aspects of music theory, including rhythm, scales, chords, and more.

The Faber Graded Rock & Pop Series Keyboards Songbook: Initial – Grade 1 provides the perfect resource for the budding rock and pop musician.

One of the finest music manuscripts – for scholarly and practical use My Ladye Nevells Booke is one of the finest musical manuscripts of the late 16th century. With its 42 compositions, it comprises about a third of the keyboard music by William Byrd – including some of his most popular compositions such as the variations on “Sellinger’s Round” and “All in a Garden Green”. Byrd himself selected the pieces for this anthology and directed the work of copyist John Baldwin. The meticulous, small corrections, found on almost every page, were most probably written by Byrd himself. The grand coat-of-arms at the beginning refers to Sir Henry Neville of Billingbear (Berkshire) and as such identifies his wife Elizabeth as the dedicatee. The manuscript did not become public property until 2006 when it was purchased for the British Library. Now it is published in book form for the first time and gives the musician an impression of the richly decorated preserved original volume. In his commentary, Byrd specialist Oliver Neighbour describes the genesis and history of the work. He also provides information on Byrd’s concept, the chosen repertoire and gives technical details on the notation.
