Avec ma balle - Play ball
You are the music is a collection of information-bearing songs with teach and encourage the future musician not only to learn, but to become the music. The series proposes a synthesis of body-mind-voice-vocabulary experiences through easy, lighthearted tunes in which one sings of the musical information while actually sing/doing/living it. Thus analysis and experience are simultaneous.
Since the nerves governing the vocal apparatus and those involved in pitch perception spring from the same root, hearing prepares singing and singing prepares hearing. They are interactive.
We all possess from birth a complex and prodigious musical instrument - the body! Gesture and movement are equally parts of our human musical instrument, and these songs can be used to incit movement that expresses and incorporates the material being studied, by building it into our muscle-memory.
ln short, the goal is that the body becomes a giant ear, and what the ear perceives is instantly recognizable - is known by its correct name, and can be reproduced at will vocally and eventually, instrumentally. The objective of this collection is for the musician to BE the music. The progressive mastery of technical points, such as recognition of polychords, intervals, harmonies, rhythms, etc., and the acquisition of musical habits, will permit the musician an effortless coordination of auditory perception, recognition, interpretation and eventually, improvisation, composition, direction (conducting) and enhanced expressivity in performance.
Lastly, the author encourages accompanists to follow their inspiration, and take as many liberties with the written piano accompaniments, as he did himself during the recording.

Short synopsis on the bass clarinet
The bass clarinet, very popular in today's music, is a highly difficult instrument to master; it is not always easy to handle, even if you already play another similar instrument, such as the soprano clarinet or saxophone (often musicians who play the tenor saxophone are attracted to the bass clarinet for reasons of tessitura and tone).
Coming from these instruments, people often think that they will adapt to the instrument automatically and that fluency will come by playing. However, the bass clarinet is not a "byproduct" but an instrument in its own right, which is demanding, in particular with respect to the embouchure and air column which are very different from the soprano clarinet or the saxophone.
We have put together a few exercises that are specific to this instrument, to help master its tessitura and its registers, as well as a few tips in order to facilitate initial contact with the instrument and to help overcome any difficulties inherent to the bass clarinet.

Santos Chillemi was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on September 13th, 1950. At the conservatory, he studied the piano, as well as electronic music, harmony and composition, and soon began touring South America with various Latin-American groups.
Like his Sicilian forbearers, he sings Italy. Like his own past, he hums Spain. Like his youth, he fills his lungs with the Rolling Stones. His music can, as it suites him, incorporate Bartok, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, country folklore or Argentine tango...
