What is Bebop by the Numbers?
Bebop by the Numbers is a method for teaching music creation to all aspiring musicians, instrumentalists, and vocalists alike, focused on using scale degrees and repeatable building blocks and patterns to create your music. In this new edition, Kelly Eisenhour has added valuable resources for vocalists, including Solf�ge and scat syllable suggestions that correspond to the numbers and helpful information, especially for singers. We teach Jazz mostly, so our focus is on Bebop. But what you discover in these lessons can be found in all genres of music, not just Jazz.

So Why Numbers?
Numbers are very helpful. If you can think about the numbers of the scale degrees instead of the letters, you can then translate ideas to different keys more quickly. "What's the one? What's the three?" Then, the other key is the same question, just a different answer. You can't transpose very quickly from one key to the other without using numbers. Solf�ge works much the same way, "WhatÕs the Do? WhatÕs the Mi?" Ðand is more ÒsingableÓ for the vocalists and instrumentalists who pick up this book. Singers also have some specific challenges, and the strategies described in this bookÐespecially for them, allow more accessiblity to these ideas for vocalists.
I have also done a lot of experimenting with teaching students, testing who learned faster Ð the students who used notes and their corresponding letters or the students who went by numbers. In my experience so far, the answer is ÒNumbers.Ó Even though using numbers may add an extra step and the students have to figure out how to play the pattern, they tend to learn more quickly, retain better, and start coming up with their own ideas sooner than those who learn note by note. My theory is that itÕs necessary to make comparisons to play ideas. For example, ÒThis is the minor third, and IÕm going to the sixth, the sharp four, then five; I like that sound. Okay, let me try it with this key.Ó I donÕt see students making those discoveries as quickly when we go note by note and ideas are written out for them. Vocalists also do much better improvising when they have a framework and are given a step by step approach to develop.

Not Quite So Durable...
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball, Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
Maybe I have a SUPER aggressive chewer...he went through this ball in under a week. I originally bought the ball because of a review that stated the owner's Pitbull had the same ball for two years; not so much for my Rottweiler. He started chewing off and swallowing small crumbs from the ball within a day or two. By the end of the week, it was chunks so I had to toss it in the trash to prevent an intestinal obstruction. On the up side, my Rottweiler LOVED the ball while it lasted. However, I can't, in good conscience, give this ball a rave review based on this experience. Please take this review with a grain of salt as I have yet to find ANY toy that my boy won't DESTROY in a week or two. I hope that someone finds this informative when searching for chew toys for SUPER aggressive chewers like mine.

A book that hugs back.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I picked this book for my brother-in-law when we were celebrating my sister’s pregnancy, and the title ‘Why a daughter needs a dad’ sealed the deal. The illustrations are beautiful and full of tenderness. The messages on each page are simple and meaningful. I could so clearly picture him reading it to his baby girl someday. It’s the kind of book that isn’t just read – it’s felt. A thoughtful gift for someone you love – especially during such a special season of life.
