Foundations

A workbook to develop practice skills and knowledge for playing the drum kit

Foundations by Robert Boundy is a workbook containing two progressive drum set syllabuses; Foundations and Intermediate, designed to develop practice skills and knowledge for playing the drumkit. The lessons presented in this book are based on Robert’s study and documentation of American jazz drummer Gene Krupa’s 14 key drum methods.

The coursework featured in this book was developed through much reflection and consideration of how music students learn. Online music teaching is embraced in the contents of this book and designed using a context-based teaching and learning approach. It centres on maximizing the effect of learning through private music tuition for students of the drum kit.

Foundations contains 12 modules to work through, supported by online play along backing tracks and video demonstrations available on the Rob’s Drum Shed website.

Why Can’t I Play Like Jimmy?

Guitar Rut Remedies

Well, play something different, something new for a start.

English Grammar Book

A great resource for those needing a practical, concise and clear explanation of the principles and use of English Grammar.

The book is 145 pages divided into easy read chapters.

From the Author

I completed my “Masters in English” with “Awards Of College Colours” and “Roll Of Honour” in the sports field (professional boxer) and came to Australia on a scholarship in 2008. In Australia, I got the chance to meet people from all countries and do further English language research. This book is written after interviewing natives of many countries, having an English second language, and understanding the problems they face in the English language. This classical piece of work is an efficient tool for those who want to learn the basic logistics of the English language. It will significantly help to master skills in sentences building, formation, correct usage, and structure. In addition, it will work as a “One-Stop-Shop” for Grammarians.

It takes extensive time to complete this book due to my tight schedule and high volume of interviews from people worldwide. I spend lots of time (Ground Zero) at the University of Adelaide, University of South Australia, and Flinders University (Australia) for my research work, even-thou I was never a student of these universities. Now that, despite voluminous odds, this book has happened, I have hopes and prayers regarding it.

I am fortunate that Navneet Kaur (Masters in English, Roll Of Honour Holder, functioned as strategic-Journalist in “The Tribune” Newspaper) scrutinize the manuscript and proposed expansions.

I am indebted to sharp-witted Advocate, Mr. Inderbir Singh S/O Mr. J.J Singh Hundal (Comdt.) for helpful thoughts and working on all legalities.

I wish to record my gratitude to my wife, Engr. Karamveer Kaur (M. tech), for help with graphics (pictures, tables). She was unstinted support at every corner with affection and analysis. It is reverential to admit that my father was the strongest pillar of support and guidance.

At last, I am obliged and fortunate that I got an opportunity to complete my research work (Masters) under the guidance of intellectuals like Professor, Mrs. Reetinder Joshi (Govt. College Ludhiana) and Prof. Kalia (Head of Dept. S.C.D.  Govt. College Ludhiana).

ABC of Beekeeping

In this book, she gives straightforward answers to the most fundamental questions asked by anyone who has ever considered keeping a hive –what sort of hive, where to get bees, how to check a colony, how to spin honey… and more.
Julia draws on her experience with the Cairns and District Beekeepers Association Inc, with the many other beekeepers in the Cairns and Tablelands areas, and with some beekeepers in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea. More recently she has started a local business, Healthy Hives, which aims at helping people set up and manage their own backyard hives.

About the Author

Julia Toft is a beekeeper in Far North Queensland. She is passionate about people sharing knowledge and experiences with European honey bees, and believes quite simply that a healthy hive will be a productive one. This is especially true in the Tropics.

The Seven Stories we tell Ourselves

Through all the events of our lives, we take the “facts” and arrange them into narratives that we tell ourselves.

Did you know we only have 7 basic stories from which to create these narratives?

And you can choose your narrative. But there are consequences
to the narrative that we tell ourselves. Each narrative has a pathway to resolution, a direction we must take. Each narrative can either serve us or hinder us in finding contentment and control in our lives. We can choose our narrative actively and therefore have control over our lives or we can allow ourselves
to choose subconsciously and accept the consequences of this.

The Seven Stories We Tell Ourselves provides a framework for understanding how we are telling our stories to ourselves.
It shows us the alternatives available for us to change our narratives and how we must proceed within our lives toward resolution of our daily conflicts and struggles. It is filled with inspiring stories and examples as well as tools to help us become the captain of our own ship, to be in charge of our own lives and to LIVE CONSCIOUSLY.
