A Studio Nobel está lançando o livro Espirais de Madeira: uma história da arquitetura de Curitiba, do arquiteto Irã Taborda Dudeque. A obra nos permite compreender o papel da arquitetura no processo de afirmação cultural, política e econômica que Curitiba de 1920 a 1990. Para isso, a narrativa do autor parte de um conjunto de idéias literárias e artísticas (que formariam um quadro de referências simbólicas), e acompanha os desenvolvimentos destas idéias na política, na economia e na arquitetura. ¿Assim, a arquitetura de Curitiba não foi analisada para explicar os sucessivos estágios da arquitetura de Curitiba, num ciclo auto-referente. Serviu, em vez disso, como um corpo documental para tentar aclarar e compreender as pessoas que fizeram e fazem a cidade de Curitiba e, por conseguinte, o Estado do Paraná e o Brasil. A pretensão é que, entendendo-se esse processo histórico, fique mais claro o valor cultural da arquitetura produzida, ao mesmo tempo que se possa entender algumas das razões que levaram ao reconhecimento dos arquitetos por parte de uma sociedade¿, descreve Irã Dudeque.

Rock to ragtime, bluegrass to swing, tango, calypso and the blues - they're all here in instantly accessible songs to play straight away ~ whether solo, with friends, or with the whole class. Fully supported by video tutorials and audio performances and backings. The teacher's edition, BOOK+CD-ROM, contains a whiteboard e-book with embedded audio and video tutorials for every song, making it ideal for classroom teaching. The 25 pieces carefully progress from playing open strings (eg Stringalong Rag) to songs with one chord (Shortnin bread, A minor miracle, F major march) to two chords (Baboushka, Tab tango, Calypso strum) and finally three chords (In South Africa, Playing the blues). Finger-picking and strumming styles are all introduced step by step in pieces which are fun and stylistic.

Website extras for teachers include lesson plans with teaching support and extra song suggestions to sing and play.

Originally published in the 1940s, Paul Hindemith's remarkable textbooks are still the outstanding works of their kind. In contrast to many musical textbooks written by academic musicians, these were produced by a man who could play every instrument of the orchestra, could compose a satisfying piece for almost every kind of ensemble, and who was one of the most stimulating teachers of his day. It is therefore not surprising that nearly forty years later these books should remain essential reading for the student and the professional musician.
