Beginner learner here. 6 months in learning from Piano adventures. I placed an order for Alfred’s essentials of Music Theory based on your recommendation. Thanks.
You were looking for information on Christopher Norton's Connections for Piano. More information can be found at the publisher which is 80 days Publishing. There are sample pieces you can listen to on each graded book. The books range from beginner to advanced. I previewed the level 7 which is an intermediate book and really was impressed. It seems ideal for adults who are interested in well done modern pieces. Again really impressive content.
2 Esdras 7:75 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 /////////////
Thanks for sharing your love of music. You did a UA-cam lesson titled This is the fastest method to read sheet music. Based on reading intervals. Do you have this in a book format?
Great video thanks a lot! I take a lesson a week, and was thinking of getting some to compliment the learning. That adult all in one book, the first linked book is book 3? Is there a reason you posted book 3?
I’ve bought Alfred’s book 2 wondering if I should buy adult piano adventures book 2. Im music greedy & find I get different info out of different books? Advice needed please Tim
As someone who used Alfred for a tiny bit, i will definitely say that I prefer Piano Adventures. The transition from Alfred Book 2 to Adult Piano Adventures book 2 should not be too hard as they are basically paced out the same. I will say Alfred focuses more on chords and Faber Piano Adventures focuses more on finger technique but that would be the only difficulty
Internet Archive is a digital/internet library. I am somewhat surprised you so lightly express pretty serious accusations in public before you checked the facts. Unless (in your opinion) also regular libraries steal the books so "everybody" can borrow and read them.
@@MusicDive-ex7mi the internet archive has definitely had copyrighted material on it before. Adobe had to take down Photoshop and Premiere from there because people were illegally downloading it. It is not the same as a library
@@MusicDive-ex7mi also I was more making a general point that people should be buying their piano books to support the Publishers rather than finding them for free online. At least with a regular Library they buy the material for you to loan first
@@LessonsOnTheWeb It is not literally the same as library building of course. However the libraries have copyright materials for sure and the IA as well. What people do is another story, I can go to library borrow a book and photocopy it, so is it a reason to shut down the library? Internat Archive content is based on actual books, so it has to be purchased in advance, the same goes with the library. I understood your sentiment about supporting publishers (I am not so eager in doing so because of poor quality of a lot of music materials, so samples are a must for me) but you said it in context of IA which for me was insulting for people creating it.
@@MusicDive-ex7mi then I apologize if my words came off that way. I've used internet archive many times I do think it's a great resource. I think overall they do a lot of great work. Super useful in finding old software especially.
@@LessonsOnTheWeb Thank you for clarification. As for IA I use it mainly as sampler for books if they are worth buying, unfortunately not everything is covered, but it is better than Amazon-no-preview 🙂

For people interested in Jazz piano, I highly recommend Jazz Piano Fundamentals by Jeremy Siskind.
Hello Tim I’m following your book recommendations struggle with syncopation/ rhythm having lessons again enjoy your videos 😊
Awesome work man!!
John Thompson’s Easiest Piano Method is a rigorous method but good for the more serious student.
Is there an answer key somewhere for these books so I know if my answers are correct? I have Alfreds All in one course lesson theory technic.
2 Esdras 7:75

I’m so frustrated waiting for the lightbulb. 💡 I’m not a patient person.😊
Thanks for sharing your love of music.

@@marksimo4406 I don't have that in book format but that is a good idea
thanks 🎹❤️

I think it was a mistake I meant to link to the complete version
I was today years old when I found out what a cadence is. I thought it had something to do with rhythm.
@@kjmav10135 there are rhythmic cadences too!

Yep. They are in the description.
No echo
I’m using Russian school books.
