This article is about a cd released a couple of years ago to honor those serving in the American Armed Forces and I believe now is a good time to reflect and appreciate all the sacrafices those young men and women make to keep us safe.

We are sometimes caught dealing in generic phrases like “military action” or “defense plan,” and we may forget that good men and women, not words, defend freedom.

These people are fathers, aunts, cousins, younger, older, grumpy, funny, quiet and/or loud, just like you and me, except they offer their lives “on demand” to protect ours. Rhythm Of Honor, an eclectic CD recently released by Goodnight Kiss Music, pays tribute to the American Armed Forces and their families.

The right kind of childrens musical instruments to get depends very much on the age. You have probably seen children musical instruments before in an elementary school, or even a kindergarten, so you know what I am talking about. As a teacher who works with very young children, I can tell you that some things make better kids musical instruments than others. For example, for very mature little ones, violins can sometimes be used as children’s musical instruments, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Violins are difficult to play, easy to break, and can not be banged against anything. All of these are obstacles to good childrens musical instruments, especially if the instruments are to be used in a group setting.

You can buy musical instruments at any number of places, but if you are looking for cheap musical instrument, your options are a little bit more limited. Many people, when looking for a cheap musical instrument, make the mistake of either relying on their local store and skipping other sources all together, or else doing the exact opposite, and only looking at the instruments that are offered in their local music shop. Both of these approaches are really quite serious mistakes, if you ask me. Although you are less likely to find new cheap musical instruments in your local shop, they will often sell used ones for way below market value.

One of the neatest ways to really express your love of world culture is to learn to play an African musical instrument. There are thousands upon thousands of African musical instruments, and each one has a unique and beautiful tone. My favorite African musical instrument is called the dono drum. The dono drum is one of the most expressive African drums. It is also known as the talking drum, and essentially consists of two heads at either end of an hourglass shaped body. The heads are connected by strips of hide. The whole African musical instrument is held under one arm, and the strings are tightened and loosened by squeezing it with the arm. This changes the tone, allowing this African musical instrument to “talk.” But of course, there are thousands of other African musical instruments to chose from, and each of them definitely has its strengths.

Fender is a byword in excellence and is thought of as the Rolls Royce of guitars. Owning a Fender musical instrument is a source of pride for beginners thrashing around in their garage to international guitar heroes. The company was founded in 1946 by Clarence Fender and he started something of a revolution. Electric guitars had been made for some time but he introduced the mass production of solid body electric guitars. The first model of this type was the Telecaster and this was followed by a bass version called the Precision Bass. Fender’s vision paid off and his company became the most successful guitar manufacturer around.

Before rock and roll burst onto the scene, pop music was more sedate and one of its leading exponents was Patti Page. She began as a country music singer and crossed over into pop, with country-tinged records that were very popular with the public. Page was born into a poor, farming family in 1927 in Claremore, Oklahoma. Her vocal talent and good looks were to carry her away into stardom. She was Clara Ann Fowler before she assumed her stage name.

If you lack musical talent but have a good sense of rhythm, then perhaps percussion instruments are the musical instruments for you. Learning to play percussion instruments allows you to be in the band without relying so heavily upon musical talents or developing an ear for tune and pitch. If you play a musical instrument or participate in the band, I’m sure you know that the percussion instruments are the literal heartbeat of a band. Not only do they set the pace of the music but they manage the actual intensity of the music as well. From the bass drum with its driving beach to the exhilarating crash of the cymbals, any band or orchestra would be missing its vital center without a percussion section.

While making your own musical instrument will not provide the same quality that you can find from the masters who have perfected their craft, it will give you as a player a unique insight into how the instrument works, which is a great way to appreciate your instrument better. Making your own musical instruments can offer a great way to save money but also offer great fun for you and your family. Obviously we can’t make home made musical instruments that will be equivalent to professionally crafted instruments and there are no instruction manuals that can teach the average lay person how to create musical instruments that will even come close to orchestral quality instruments.
