Is the age of heroes over before it's even begun? Meet Stephen Swift, the latest recruit to the secret school for the heroes of the future. Or, at least, he was. Then the school was shut down because of budget cuts, and Stephen was thrown back into the world, newly redundant and his memories taken from him for reasons of national security. Waking up in a small town with no idea how he got there, Stephen uses his newly acquired powers to become its protector, working tirelessly to fight crime and making himself something of a phenomenon in the process.But Stephen isn't the only ex-student struggling to find his place in the world. There's Evelyn, the vigilante of London tracking down those who prey on the poor and vulnerable as she fights for social justice. And there's also Victoria, angry and looking to assemble an army of superpowered individuals to fight a campaign of terror against the world that she feels abandoned her. Together, Stephen and Evelyn must defend the world that Victoria seeks to wage war against. But are they fighting for the right side? And how exactly do you beat someone who can control time itself? It looks like the world might just need heroes after all.

Some special musicians have special skills making the music they play above and beyond that of others. How do they learn to implement these unique techniques into their music? Not all of us have the opportunity to be exposed to the channels that professional musicians do. In this manual, a number of 'Secret' Techniques are discussed. If only a few of these skills are mastered it will raise the bar on the music they play.

Scales Aren't Just a Fish Thing takes the study of music one step further and color-codes all the notes, adds music theory card games and play-along sheet music. Every student, no matter their age or learning style or difference, can easily move through the music and memorize as they go. Learning of difficult music theory concepts takes place through the silent clues: musical stems the color of the string the note is played, sharps and flats circled with the color of the note it is moving toward, color-coding of each note. No need for correction at your next lesson. Never practice incorrectly again with all the clues and crutches offered with Scales Aren't Just a Fish Thing.As this is already Book 3 'Manatees' in the Scales Aren't Just a Fish Thing Gum Drop Note Series, I assume you know the drill. But just in case you are jumping in the deep end, let me explain how it works.Each note has its own color.A = RedB = PurpleC = Brown (Chocolate)D = GrayE = BlueF= OrangeG=GreenAny sharp or flat is circled with the color it is moving toward. The stem of the note is the color of the string it is played on.

Humoresque and Songs My Mother Taught Me are songs you will hear over the radio as you walk through a store or wait in a doctor's office. Dvorak's music is very popular and it is fun to be able to identify it as well as play it.

But just in case you are jumping in the deep end, let me explain how it works.Each note has its own color.A = RedB = PurpleC = Brown (Chocolate)D = GrayE = BlueF= OrangeG=GreenAny sharp or flat is circled with the color it is moving toward.

Minuet in G is one of the most popular pieces of work by Ludwig Van Beethoven. Yet, it could have easily been lost. In fact, all of the work was, except for the piano part. Beethoven became deaf at the age of 30 but continued to compose music throughout his long life. Rigoletto is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. The story line is really not all that pleasant and may have easily had an R rating if performed today, but the tune is fun forces the violinist to plunge into exploring the entire violin fingerboard.

Gavotte in D Major is part of the Suzuki repertoire. Scales Aren't Just a Fish Thing takes it a step further by adding subliminal music theory into the study. Each note is color coded and each sharp or flat is reinforced with a music theory concept that subtly slips in the back door while learning the song. The Fun Finger Exercise included in this book is amazing. Shifting, finger dexterity and scales are all reinforced in this one study.
