What is Bebop by the Numbers?
Bebop by the Numbers is a method for teaching music creation to all aspiring musicians, instrumentalists, and vocalists alike, focused on using scale degrees and repeatable building blocks and patterns to create your music. In this new edition, Kelly Eisenhour has added valuable resources for vocalists, including Solf�ge and scat syllable suggestions that correspond to the numbers and helpful information, especially for singers. We teach Jazz mostly, so our focus is on Bebop. But what you discover in these lessons can be found in all genres of music, not just Jazz.

So Why Numbers?
Numbers are very helpful. If you can think about the numbers of the scale degrees instead of the letters, you can then translate ideas to different keys more quickly. "What's the one? What's the three?" Then, the other key is the same question, just a different answer. You can't transpose very quickly from one key to the other without using numbers. Solf�ge works much the same way, "WhatÕs the Do? WhatÕs the Mi?" Ðand is more ÒsingableÓ for the vocalists and instrumentalists who pick up this book. Singers also have some specific challenges, and the strategies described in this bookÐespecially for them, allow more accessiblity to these ideas for vocalists.
I have also done a lot of experimenting with teaching students, testing who learned faster Ð the students who used notes and their corresponding letters or the students who went by numbers. In my experience so far, the answer is ÒNumbers.Ó Even though using numbers may add an extra step and the students have to figure out how to play the pattern, they tend to learn more quickly, retain better, and start coming up with their own ideas sooner than those who learn note by note. My theory is that itÕs necessary to make comparisons to play ideas. For example, ÒThis is the minor third, and IÕm going to the sixth, the sharp four, then five; I like that sound. Okay, let me try it with this key.Ó I donÕt see students making those discoveries as quickly when we go note by note and ideas are written out for them. Vocalists also do much better improvising when they have a framework and are given a step by step approach to develop.

My dog loves it!
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
This crunch ball was a Christmas gift for my 65lbs fur baby. It’s now mid April and he still loves it. He loves running after it and chomping down on it. It is still in good shape despite all the chomping it’s gotta . I highly recommend. He goes back to this toy agin and again! Great buy.

Our first babies favorite and longest lasting ball yet and he is fixing to be 7.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2), Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Toughest ball we have found yet. Our doberman loves Chuckit! Balls especially the crunch one. He spreads all the balls and toys we have bought but these lasted the longest. The crunch and the glow in the dark are usually his pick but he has several different choices.

This is a great ball for high energy dogs.
Color: Blue
I have a Belgian Malinois, so you can imagine the Maligator jaws. Just opened this today and let her play with it indoors. She LOVES IT. It wore her out and it’s a toy she can really stay focused on without needing me to throw or roll for her. It moves on its own! I supervised her play. I was hoping it was too big to get under the couch, but no. It goes right under it. I had to block off the gap so I didn’t have to keep getting it out from under for her. The outter “shell” is very durable! When she had resting moments, she chewed it pretty good - I could hear the material squeaking against her teeth. I was worried she was tearing it up, but nope! Not a mark on it. It’s easy to set up and operate. It needed charging before play. After hours of play, she was able to somehow unscrew the outter shell. This concerned me bc the smaller, inner ball mechanism came out but I saw it right away and was able to put it back together. So, make sure it’s screwed together tightly (which I thought I had done without breaking it) and check it from time to time to make sure it hasn’t loosened. This is a great ball for her incredible high energy drive. It gives her the work and fun play she needs to get tired, which I love. This toy is on the expensive end, but so far it’s worth it. Now we’ll see how long it lasts!

Love love it
Color: Blue
Best dog toy ever. I have a 1 year old boxer who is full of energy (understatement). This ball has provided more entertainment for us both than any dog toy I’ve ever purchased. Charge holds well and has a very resilient shell. I love it. Worth the price.

Great ball for limited entertainment. Replaceable outer shell is an amazing option!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Bought this for our 45lb, ball-obsessed Dutch shepherd/pit bull dog mix. I had one of these years ago with the hard shell and couldn’t be happier with the new foam shell. The new foam shell is much quieter and while our dog might put holes in it with his teeth, he doesn’t seem to ever pull pieces off. For engagement level, he found it VERY interesting at first and was scared to grab it, but once he got over that he started holding it in his mouth even when it shakes and just tries to keep it. Isn’t the best for fetch or anything as he has trouble letting it go when it is actively moving, but it makes him happy while he has it. We just make sure to monitor him while it is out. The ability to change the outer shell and just buy a replacement for the shell instead of a whole new toy is a lovely feature that makes me very happy to continue buying from this company.
