Best New Indie Band
Oct 5th
I have found a great new indie band, Speck 5. Go to www.Speck5.Com to listen to the music, or you can go to reverberation.Com, it’s there too. Speck 5 is innovative and creative music. It’s completely out there at times but yet keeps a solid foundation of song structure and movement so that you don’t feel like your “out there”. It is hard to explain, but maybe the best way is to say that it’s almost a cinematic experience to listen to the music. That is, when a song is over, especially the title track to the debut CD, 21st Century Freak, you don’t just feel like you heard something incredible, you almost feel like you saw it as well. Like I said, hard to explain. Just go listen to it, track #2 is my favorite (today) with tracks 1 and 5 right behind it. If you like this artist, support him, it’s just one guy doing everything you hear. That includes the production and engineering work! Freaking fabulous work, love that it’s out there for us!!!

Have you got a DVD player in the home? Well, if you do and you might want to learn to play classical guitar, now is the time to begin looking for the best guitar lesson DVD program. Folks have different reasons for wanting to play a musical instrument, but whatever your reasons are, you must choose an appropriate program of guitar DVD so you can learn everything you need to know. You should know that there are more programs guitar worth it you pay, but there’s also programs that serve just to waste money and time. So you must choose the best one. First, you’ll want to determine your skills when playing the guitar. For example, guitar superstars lessons on DVD are available for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. Video Guitar Lessons are available in one or more DVDs, a program that incorporates internet software, or one that adds multiple discs. The costs of DVD programs isn’t a big problem because many of them are accessible and affordable.
Ibanez Rg321mh — Saving Cost And Still Loving It
Jul 23rd
There are times in a person’s life when $300 looks like $300k. At such times you are very careful about how much you invest into anything. It doesn’t matter whether you are a guitarist or NOT. Sometimes you just want quality with the price tag. Thankfully, Ibanez RG321MH electric guitar gives you that option. But the good thing is that you’d still be loving it.
For most guitar makers, quality has to be at a very steep price. Don’t get me wrong. You can’t expect a certain level of quality without parting with reasonable cash. However, you should be able to get something that’s down to earth without having to take a second mortgage. That’s the point I am stressing and that’s what this guitar will give you.
If you want the frills and extras that you’d get on custom guitars, then you have to pass this on. However, if you want a guitar that will get the job done without ruining your credit rating, then you have your baby.
Should we still teach music history?
Apr 22nd
There is a lot of discussion about whether we should ever create Music History Lesson Plans for high school music, or not. Some say that music history is not worth teaching at all, and that we should instead be concentrating on composition and creative elements in the music classroom. Its all very well for a teacher with years of experience who knows all the knowledge to say that teaching about the composers is old school and no longer relevant, but they know the knowledge! They are cheating it out of the children if they don’t teach it regularly in the schools! How can children learn to compose if they don’t look at the music of the great composers? It was Mozart who remarked when hearing music of Bach ‘Now there is something one can learn from!’ If Mozart wanted to learn music history, who are we to cheat it out of our school students?
