Finding your musical voice
This is a resource book for the student, the classroom teacher and the private studio teacher with suggestions to inspire creativity and music composition. I believe everyone is capable of writing music. Nick Cave when describing his song writing process stated, “The big problem with song-writing for me is starting a new song. It's the thing where all the anguish exists, not in the writing of the song, but the starting of the new song.”
A range of exercises is included so that students can explore the possibilities of sound in terms of: pitch, duration, texture, register, tone colour, and expressive techniques.
For ease of use
• Most examples and exercises are in simple keys and all exercises can be transposed to suitable keys
• Examples in treble and bass clefs are included, this will enable all students to read and connect with the information presented
• The words triad and chord are used interchangeably to describe three or more notes played together.

A setting of the Dickinson poem, this choral work is ideal for high school aged girls. Whether the words of this beautiful poem are sung as to a deep friend, an unrequited love, or even God, this achingly gentle setting lilts and flows gracefully through the registers of young voices. An ideal vehicle for concert performance or competition this setting is a joy for performers and audiences alike.

I Thought I Heard a Magpie Call
By Margaret Schindler/Philip Mayers
Regular price
$25.00
Heritage Australian Art SongsMargaret Schindler (soprano), Philip Mayers (piano)
The collection covers a wide ground. Some of these songs were never intended to be considered as High Art; written for relatively uncritical consumption, they and others of their sort were aimed at the home music market, at times when singing together around the piano was a common evening pastime. An all-pervading sense of innocence prevails, maybe reflective of the publishing strictures of the times. Choosing the material for this recording was a journey of rediscovery for the artists which resulted in representative appraisals of a past revisited, and you will find amongst the acknowledged classics the sort of tunes some may primly dismiss as too light a fare.
Choosing the name for this CD was not hard. Ask any Australian abroad what remembered sound most triggers their nostalgia, and the inimitable rusty-gate chortle of the magpie will usually be the answer. [extracts from the liner notes by Philip Mayers]
