Book excerpt: Toni Bentley, a dancer for George Balanchine, the greatest ballet maker of the 20th century, tells the story of Serenade, his iconic masterpiece, and what it was like to dance—and live—in his world at New York City Ballet during its legendary era. At age seventeen, Toni Bentley was chosen by Balanchine, then in his final years, to join the New York City Ballet. From both backstage and onstage, she carries us through the serendipitous history and physical intricacies and demands of Serenade: its dazzling opening, with seventeen women in a double-diamond pattern; its radical, even jazzy, use of the highly refined language that is ballet; its place in the choreographer’s own dramatic story of his immigration to the United States from Soviet Russia; its mystical—and literal—embodiment of the tradition of classical ballet in just thirty-three minutes. Bentley takes us inside the rarefied, intense, and thrilling world Balanchine created through his lifelong devotion to celebrating and expanding female beauty and strength—a world that, inevitably, passed upon his death. An intimate elegy to grace and loss and to the imprint of a towering artist and his transcendent creation on Bentley’s own life, Serenade: A Balanchine Story is a rich narrative by a dynamic artist about the nature of art itself at its most ephemeral and glorious.

Book excerpt: Position Pieces for Cello is designed to give students a logical and fun way to learn their way around the fingerboard. Each hand position is introduced with exercises called "Target Practice," "Geography Quiz," and "Names and Numbers." Following these exercises are tuneful cello duets which have been specifically composed to require students to play in that hand position. In this way, students gain a thorough knowledge of how to find the hand positions and, once there, which notes are possible to play. Using these pieces (with names like "I Was a Teenage Monster," "The Irish Tenor," and "I've Got the Blues, Baby"), position study on the cello has never been so much fun!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The streets and beaches of Port Townsend are alive with visitors enjoying the warm August days and spectacular vistas of Puget Sound. But one keen mind is preoccupied with a more serious issue: the tragic death of the town’s most famous resident. Following his nose, instincts, and leads from locals, Detective Wellington sets out to solve the mystery of Siren, the Siamese show cat. “An inviting read full of warmth and tenderness … with plenty of useful metaphors [for] the meaning of true beauty, diversity, facing fear and the importance of communication.” “Detective Wellington lets us into his daily life full of reflection and purpose, instinct and belonging.” ★★★★ Sasha Ward, Ward of Books A mystery novel for young readers featuring an unusual detective who is as serious about solving the case as he is about his afternoon naps. Join detective Wellington as he gathers clues from other animal inhabitants of his adopted hometown to unravel the case. What did I know about Siren? Well . . . let’s start with the obvious – she was elegant and refined. [. . .] She had a reputation for stopping German Shepherds in their tracks. She was a blue ribbon winner of multiple events in her 11-month career as a Professional Show Cat. In a town composed primarily of rescues, half-breds, unregistered mutts, and more than one tripod, this was big news.
