Ever heard an old jazz recording and wondered how they could have what seemed like such a mastery of the keyboard? The First Steps Toward Freedom series helps take the mystery out of improvisation and equips students with the tools to break free from slavery to the notes on the page. This first book in the series focuses on taking students who already know the basics of reading music and who understand basic musical notation to the next level where they can begin to read chord charts, and understand the basic structure of the most common pop and jazz tunes starting with basic scale and chord structures. First Steps Toward Freedom is the perfect gift for the young or novice pianist in your life that has an interest in how to reproduce the types of songs heard on the radio, understand the basic structure of classic pieces, or wants the tools to begin composing pieces of their own. Learning musical structure takes the guess-work out of why certain chords work and others don't, and demystifies the art of improvisation.

This is the OCR-endorsed edition covering the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 3) prescription of Virgil's Aeneid Book 2, lines 40-249 and the A-Level (Group 4) prescription of Book 2, lines 268-317, 370-558, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed material to be read in English for A Level. Book II of Virgil's Aeneid is the story of how Troy fell and how Aeneas escaped with his family and his city's gods. It is a narrative relayed in retrospect by Aeneas as a refugee at the court of Queen Dido in Carthage, and the OCR selection covers the book's first two thirds: the Wooden Horse episode, and the chaos which ensues - including the dramatic murder of King Priam. Virgil depicts war in all its ugly complexity, and Aeneas' response to this - as combatant in Troy, as exile in Carthage - is central to the poem's early exposition.Supporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https://www.bloomsbury.pub/OCR-editions-2024-2026
