The Kama Sutra is one of the oldest tomes in the human world. It has been called the bible of sex, the guidebook to a better love life and millions of people around the world have delved into all of what the book has had to offer. However, the ancient book is more than just diagrams and illustrations of people in a variety of sex positions. It speaks about making a deep connection with your significant other, and to improve yourself through various ways. In Kama Sutra: A Beginner's Guide to a Better Sex Life, we will explore some of the lesser-known aspects of the Kama Sutra, discover new and exciting ways to make ourselves more attractive to our lovers, and learn about the importance of communicating with our lover, what we want from them, and what we want to get out of our sex lives. This book acts as a starter pack, a compendium piece to the two-thousand-year-old text. Written in a clear, succinct, and understandable manner, Kama Sutra: A Beginner's Guide to a Better Sex Life can be a doorway to improve your sex life and deepening the relationship you have with your lover.

ALL SONGS ARE MINOR KEY ARRANGEMENTS OF HOLIDAY AND CHILDREN'S CLASSICS. THEY WILL SOUND DIFFERENT THAN THE TRADITIONAL SONG AND ARE PURPOSELY MADE TO BE DARK AND EERIE. Songs include: Aloutte, Amazing Grace, Angels We Have Heard on High, Are You Sleeping? (Fr re Jaques), Away in a Manger, Bridal Chorus (from Wagner's Lohengrin), Deck the Halls, Eensy Weensy Spider, The Farmer in the Dell, The First Noel, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Home on the Range, Humpty Dumpty, Hush, Little Baby, It's Raining, It's Pouring, Jingle Bells, Largo (from "The New World"), London Bridge, Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Muffin Man, O Christmas Tree, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Holy Night, Ode to Joy, Oh, Susanna, The Old Gray Mare, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, On Top of Old Smokey, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain, Silent Night, This Old Man, Three Blind Mice, Tisket, a Tasket, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Up On the Housetop, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and When the Saints Go Marching In. The arrangements in this book are meant for beginning to early-intermediate music students. The playing of dark, minor arrangements of familiar songs that normally sound cheerful and bright has been incredibly enjoyable for my students, and has been a highly effective pitch training tool for them to learn the differences between "Major" and "Minor". Most of the arrangements are two pages, and the pieces are arranged in alphabetical order, not progressive order. They vary somewhat in difficulty, but are all easy to learn and play. I have omitted any dynamic and tempo markings so that the student can choose how they would like to play them for themselves, or follow their teacher's recommendations. In order to eliminate any awkward page turns, I have inserted a few "conversation starters" along the way instead of leaving blank pages. These are meant to pique curiosity in the student so that they perhaps ask for further guidance from their instructor.

This book is intended to expand the beginning to intermediate ukulele player's Christmas Music appreciation and repertoire. Each Piece is arranged in standard notation and in tablature. I have included two versions of each song: A simple version with only the melody notated, and an easy chord-melody arrangement. Some of the arrangements are more difficult than others. The songs are arranged in alphabetical order, not in progressive order. You can learn the songs in any order you would like. Songs Include: Angels We Have Heard on High, Away in a Manger, Deck the Halls, The First Noel, French Carol, Go Tell it on the Mountain, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, O Christmas Tree, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Up on the Housetop, We Three Kings, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, What Child is This?, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks.

Christmas Music for Easy Mandolin is now available as Volume One and Volume Two. Each song in both volumes is arranged in four ways: 1. Single-note melody with tablature (easy).2. Chord-melody with tablature (more advanced).3. Single-note melody with only standard notation.4. Chord-melody with only standard notation. I use the standard notation arrangements to train my own guitar students to improve their ability to read music for mandolin, but many mandolin players will surely prefer to use the tablature arrangements to learn the songs. If you can not yet read standard notation, or would like to improve that skill set, the book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Mandolin will help you enormously. There are links on my webpage for this book, and to a set of free video lessons to help you get started acquiring your reading skills. Lyrics are appropriately included for convenience, for this book is meant to train mandolin and musical skill - not to be a collection of sing-along arrangements. Song List: Angels We Have Heard on High, Away in a Manger, Deck the Halls, Ding Dong Merrily on High, The First Noel, Go Tell it on the Mountain, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, O Christmas Tree, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Up on the Housetop, We Three Kings, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, What Child is This?, While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks.

This book is intended to expand the beginning to intermediate mandolin player's Classical Music appreciation and repertoire. Each piece is arranged in standard notation and in tablature. I have included two versions of each piece: A simpler version with only the melody, and a chord-melody arrangement.

Two versions of each piece are included: A simpler version with only the melody, and a chord-melody arrangement. Each piece is arranged in such a way that they could be played finger-style or with a pick. All pieces are arranged in both standard notation and in tablature.

Volume Two picks up where Volume One left off. It is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that train reading skills for both hands equally: Half of the pieces emphasize the right hand, the other half emphasize the left. For most of the exercises, the de-emphasized hand stays within a single five-finger position. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time). This second volume expands to include the keys of C Major, A Minor, G Major, E Minor, F Major, D Minor, and some of the relative modes of each. The remaining keys and additional time signatures, including Complex Meter, will be covered in future volumes. Finger numbers have been intentionally excluded from the 300 exercises in order to train the piano player to be able to find their own fingering solutions. All of the exercises are eight measures long. If one has done any study of formal analysis, they will find that eight measures is a typical 'period' of music and usually contains two, four-bar phrases (also typical in length). For example, many sonatinas, jazz standards, and pop songs use "32 Bar Form" (A A B A), "Binary Form" (A B), and "Ternary Form" (A B A), with each section often being eight bars. Thus, eight measures (one period of music) makes the perfect length for sight-reading studies in my opinion. How to use this book: Start where the exercises begin and work across the book - from exercise 1, 5, 9, 13 and so on until you get to a point where the music challenges you and then mark your ending point. The next practice, play exercises 2, 6, 10, 14, and so on... The next: 3, 7, 11, 15 and so on, and finally 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on. If you want to work at your "break point" (the point in the book where you can no longer play musically), work DOWN the page instead of across the pages. Note: This book is also available in a LARGE PRINT version that for printing purposes had to be divided into two books. If you have poor vision or want this book to be easy to see on an electronic device, you might prefer the Large Print Version. "These books differ from conventional 'methods' in that technical and theoretical instructions have been omitted, in the belief that these are more appropriately left for the teacher to explain to the student." - Bela Bartok, Mikrokosmos. I whole-heartedly agree with Bartok's sentiment and if music teachers would ask their students what they like least (or hate the most) about typical lessons, it is the method books that win this contest EVERY TIME. I have completely eliminated method books from my own teaching practice and have much happier and more productive students than ever. While this book is intended to train sight-reading skills, it may also be used by beginners or those new to reading to acquire basic reading skills, but it assumes one either has a teacher or can at least find C on their instrument. It starts at a very basic level (only three notes) and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every four exercises and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book. Next, the music's composition is a slave to its function: The purpose of the books is to train reading skill, and the exercises keep challenging the range that has been established by previous exercises as well as less-than-convenient intervalic skips. They are composed from a 'music-first' perspective, as opposed to an 'instrument-first' perspective, and are purposely composed to be difficult to memorize. Some of the music is modal and some uses serial composition technics. Those familiar with the Fundamental Modes and serial composition will likely recognize what they are hearing, but those unfamiliar with these will likely be hearing something that sounds a bit different, or odd, until their ears acclimate to these sounds.
