Twelve-Key Practice
The Path to Mastery and Individuality
by Julie Lyonn Lieberman
View author's profile page

Overview


Practice in all twelve keys has never been sequenced or taught through the lens offered within these pages. The exercises span a number of styles, brain skills and practice techniques — all presented using a kaleidoscopic learning style. The system applies the latest breakthroughs in brain biomechanics to facilitate technical mastery. This serves the ultimate goal: Musical Excellence and Heightened Artistry. Imagine if you could HEAR a musical phrase, VISUALIZE its layout on your instrument by "seeing" and "feeling" the fingerings and/or embouchure in your mind's eye, KNOW the names of the notes as well as the degrees of the key and FEEL the dynamics you want to include. All simultaneously, in a millisecond, and without moving a muscle… and in any key! Welcome to the twelve-key approach for ALL Instruments, Levels and Styles…

Description


The Twelve-Key system offers dozens of rhythms and scales from around the world to work with. Of particular note, is the method called "permutations," a practice technique designed to illuminate and make accessible every aspect of your instrument. There is also an entire chapter that offers a step-by-step approach to the mastery of chords, including 35 exercises on "The Golden Chord," the dominant seventh chord.
