Two New Sonatas

Sep 30, 2011

Sheet Music For Bassoon includes two new sonatas for bassoon and piano by American composer David Ott. The first of the two was commissioned in celebration and remembrance of bassoonist George Kotoles. By profession, Kotoles was an architect but had a personal history of race car driving and teaching. For years he was Principal Bassoonist of the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and served in that capacity under the baton of Ott. Kotoles died of complications from cancer in spring, 2010. The sonata was premiered by Abigail Walker from Pensacola, Florida in the fall of that year. The second sonata of Ott was composed from the composer’s interest in developing more music for the bassoon. Both works are for the advanced player, but are not excessively difficult. Both works make full display of the varied timbres of the instrument and its unique characteristics. Because the bassoon is shaped conically, it has a warm and rich lyrical sound that Ott fully exposes.

The Name of the Game

Sep 19, 2011

The name of the game when it comes to piano playing seems to be practice, practice, practice. It’s really about spending hours and hours of your life, a significant investment, to learn how to play music well. Yes, it’s true that some people are born with the talent to play the piano, but there are also other people who found it hard, but through sheer perseverance were able to play piano like the masters. I think that nowadays there’s even more opportunity for ordinary folk to play the piano. Especially with keyboards such as the Casio CDP 100, which basically allow people from middle class homes to enjoy the feel and the sound of a grand piano. And the great thing is that this grand piano fits right inside their living room, and is very unobtrusive. So that’s what I think the general state of piano playing really is, for most people.

As you may have heard, the Learn And Master Piano course is the best around when it comes to teaching students how to correctly play the piano from the ground up. It is quite an extensive course which will basically take a complete newbie and turn them into a very good pianist. As you can imagine this process takes a lot of practice and a lot of hard work. Do not think that this program is sort of shortcut for you, it is simply top of the line training which still requires that you will put in a lot of time and effort into it. It comes with so much content that will have to put in serious work just to get through it all. For instance there are 20 DVD’s of instruction, a lesson book, and 5 CD’s to play along to. So if you are not willing to take this seriously then you should skip this course.

The Jam was a popular band in the UK in the 70s and 80s. Their song “Town Called Malice” is one of the biggest hits and best 80s dance songs to enter the charts.

The song made it to number 1 in the UK charts and also made it to number 31 on the American Mainstream Rock Tracks chart though they did not have any other hits in the US. In the UK it remained on the top spot for 3 weeks before it was replaced by “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” by Tight Fit.

The Jam was different from most punk bands and band members were usually seen in smart suits rather than the traditional punk fare. They enjoyed 17 top 40 hits in the UK whilst active.

They disbanded in 1982 and in 1983 Paul Weller from The Jam went on to form The Style Council who had hits such as “Speak Like A Child”.

My New Gear Reviews

Jul 30, 2011

Getting the best gear has always been something I wanted when I started out in audio production. After years of learning about the best stuff I decided to write some reviews. My most review, Alesis Micron Review talks about one of the best analog synths out there on the market.

When a great product like this comes around I really enjoy taking the time to let my readers know just how good it really is. This way I am helping others not make the same buying mistakes I have. God knows I have made many really bad buying decisions in my lifetime unfortunately. I am trying to post a new review every week that way after a few months my readers will really know about all the best gear. To be honest though I could probably review a new product everyday and still never run out of things that I would like to review.

Perhaps the most effective way when it comes to helping your students improve their chord changing pace is to work against the time. Challenge them on how many chord shifts they can do in a minute. After the challenge you may advise them to always move fingers in the same order, sense where the guitar strings and frets are instead of looking. And then challenge them again and find out if they can break their own record. If your students are too young, ages 8-13, training on a 3 4 acoustic guitar will be able to help them master this skill quickly.

In the event that your students are interested to learn a particular song, but the chords or riffs are over their present ability level yet, try and work out ways of simplifying them. Oftentimes this means switching key, with the use of a capo or simply working out fingerings of chords on three strings instead of 4, 5 or 6.

There are several reasons to improve your singing voice, and there is no such thing as a bad reason to do so. However, you do need to know that improving singing is not really something that comes easily. People put years of their life towards reaching that perfect voice they’ve always dreamed of, and many people quit in the middle because it takes so long. It is possible to make progress over the course of a few months, but usually the amount of progress that happens within such a short time is very little. Dedicating a few months to classes does little more than dedicating the same amount of time to practicing on your own. The main benefit to taking singing classes is to get immediate feedback from a professional, which can be a big help, but you can get similar feedback from people online these days as well. Approach it in the way you are most comfortable with for the best results.

Hair Metal was a craze. Even its most faithful fans could not have ever projected the genre to continue in the mainstream, chart-topping status it had held in the 80?’s.

We all know that too much of anything can be bad, and man was that true of LA hair bands. But hair band rock was so identified with and a part of the 80′s that even the biggest and best of them couldn’t make the grade into 90′s music.

But we’?re in 2011 now, those two decades are past and even a third one is under our belt. So who will stand the test of time. Hair metal vs Grunge Rock! It’s the battle of the century and it’s being fought in the arena of retro music. Perhaps the answer can be found simply by looking at the concert calendar of any town in the world.

If we do that, we’ll see that hair metal reigns supreme. And the simplified truth of the matter is that hair metal musicians were much, much more serious musicians. It was the decade of guitar heroes and legends carried over from the 70′s. Grunge was a more basic and primal form of composition. Grunge music seemed to skim across the top of the mass market, like a rock skipping on water. And then, like that rock, it just sank.

I don’t want to get too deep into it, but just look at song sales and rock concerts. The proof is in the pudding and apparently, people like hair metal (despite the spandex and aqua-net) more than they like grunge.

In its earliest days, internet radio had the problem of not being very mobile. The users of internet radio had to be shackled to an internet connection in order to use it. But today, since many restaurants, retail outlets, and stores have wireless internet service, this no longer presents a problem. In addition, smart phones can connect to the internet almost anywhere, so that users can listen to internet radio virtually anywhere they like.

Part of learning how to play piano is learning how to use the piano’s 2 pedals. I think it’s only the right pedal that creates a vibrato or an echo when you press it with your right foot while strumming the black and white piano keys. I don’t really know what the left pedal was created for because it doesn’t seem to create any other sound. Maybe it was just created to balance the pedals for aesthetic purposes.

The piano pedal complements the beautiful sound that the keys create. Since I learned how to use it, I came to appreciate its value in playing the piano. I guess the younger pianists would have to wait until their legs are long enough to reach the piano pedal.

Playing the piano is not complete without the pedal. It creates a beautiful harmony that thugs the heart of the listener. I just love listening to lots of piano music.
