    Children have a unique ability to assimilate new information at an impressive rate. In other words, they can learn new things quickly, creating a need for constant knowledge. It is the goal of this book to provide such knowledge as it relates to piano Scales. It is a comprehensive guide for kids and gives an in-depth look into the world of music and, more specifically, into the world of piano scales. Learning piano scales is an important step for any pianist, whether young or old. However, the nature of this book is targeted toward the minds of children, and as such, it is simplified to the point of easy understanding. We understand the need for children to consume knowledge and for said knowledge to be broken down into digestible bits of information. Because of this, the lessons in this book focus on a beginner’s perspective and teach complex topics in simple ways. 
    This book will cover the concept of piano scales and their relevance to music in general. It will explain the types of piano scales and how to read them and use them to make impactful music. It will also dive into the mind of a proper pianist and share the tips needed to succeed as one. Finally, it will cover music terminologies that are relevant and related to piano scales.

They would have learned to connect with their pianos on a deeper level which will, in turn, C 2 help them create and play music that resonates with others on a deeper level. The knowledge shared in this book will be a stepping stone that brings children close to their dreams of being successful pianists by providing simple guidelines to help them learn the piano scales.

    This isthe only screenwriting guide by two guys who have actually done it (instead of some schmuck who just gives lectures about screenwriting at the airport Marriott); “These guys are proof that with no training and little education, ANYONE can make it as a screenwriter” (Paul Rudd).Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon’s movies have made over a billion dollars at the box office—and now they show you how to do it yourself! This book is full of secret insider information about how to conquer the Hollywood studio system: how to write, pitch, structure, and get drunk with the best of them. Well…maybe not the best of them, but certainly the most successful. (If you’re aiming to win an Oscar, this is not the book for you!) But if you can type a little, and can read and speak English—then you too can start turning your words into stacks of money!This is the only screenwriting book you will ever need (because all other ones pretty much suck). In these pages, Garant and Lennon provide the kind of priceless tips you won’t find anywhere else, including:-The art of pitching -Getting your foot in the door -Taking notes from movie stars -How to get fired and rehired -How to get credit and royalties!And most important: what to buy with the huge piles of money you’re going to make!Writing Movies for Fun and Profit will take you through the highs and lows of life as a professional screenwriter. From the highs of hugging Gisele Bündchen and getting kung fu punched by Jackie Chan to the soul-crushing lows of Herbie: Fully Loaded.Read this book and you’ll have everything you need to make your first billion the old-fashioned way—by “selling out” in show business!A portion of the authors’ proceeds from this book are being contributed to the USO of Metropolitan Washington, a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to serving active duty military members and their families in the greater Washington, DC, region.

    Cities are birthplaces of civilization; centers of culture, trade, and progress; cauldrons of opportunity—and the home of eighty percent of the world's population by 2050. As the 21st century progresses, metropolitan areas will bear the brunt of global megatrends such as climate change, natural resource depletion, population growth, income inequality, mass migrations, education and health disparities, among many others.In The Well-Tempered City, Jonathan F. P. Rose—the man who “repairs the fabric of cities”—distills a lifetime of interdisciplinary research and firsthand experience into a five-pronged model for how to design and reshape our cities with the goal of equalizing their landscape of opportunity. Drawing from the musical concept of “temperament” as a way to achieve harmony, Rose argues that well-tempered cities can be infused with systems that bend the arc of their development toward equality, resilience, adaptability, well-being, and the ever-unfolding harmony between civilization and nature. These goals may never be fully achieved, but our cities will be richer and happier if we aspire to them, and if we infuse our every plan and constructive step with this intention.
