New YouTube Guitar Lessons

October 26th, 2011

Just came across these cool new youtube guitar lessons posted on this site. Looks great because they are putting the melody of the song and the chords together as one. This way when you play the song it’s really obvious to everyone who is listening what it is that you’re trying to play!

I can strum songs and change chords ’till the cows come home but I don’t have a singing voice at all so I was always feeling a bit frustrated about not being able to play accurate renditions of the songs I had learned. Now I feel like I have some real guitar songs I can actually perform at a barbecue or party when I get asked that dreaded question “hey play something”!

It’s going to take a bit of practice but I’m sure that I’ll get the hang of it eventually, just need to stay consistent in my practice time and keep my desire going to really get good at guitar.

October 21st, 2011

Singing is a learned skill just like teaching, playing sports, playing an instrument (except your vocal cords are the instrument), drawing, etc. You might have some natural singing talent or none at all. Either way, your voice can be improved and transformed through proper training. Professional singers will often learn new techniques and practice them several times a day until perfected. Singing is their livelihood, so it’s also their focus day in and day out. Most famous singers didn’t start out with a great voice – they had to take voice training!

Learn to Play the Violin

July 13th, 2011

Violin is one of the most rewarding and beautiful instruments to play when mastered by someone. But just like any other instruments, the time to practice or to learn the violin is a long one and one must be sure that he or she is ready to take the practice and must have a discipline and commitment to her or himself since it is a difficult technique.

Although one can play the violin by plucking the strings, for most music it is also necessary to be able to use the bow. At first it can be difficult and a little bit awkward, but after some practice one should be able to learn to make some music in their own with the violin and bow.

How Did Slash Learn To Play Guitar?

June 29th, 2011

Slash, the guitar player from Guns n’ Roses taught himself how to play guitar, many today decide instead to take advantage of the internet and learn guitar through streaming videos and online guitar lessons.

You do need to have the right equipment however and it helps to have one or two of the many great acoustic electric guitars that are out on the market. I can think immediately of brands like Taylor and Martin, both of which have a long and distinguished history of making very fine acoustic guitars.

But what about lessons? Well I personally think there are many good quality guitar sites, I’m a member of these online guitar lessons and can highly recommend them to you.

For guitars a Gibson J-45 will set you back around $3000 for a new one, but you can also find some bargains on used equipment on ebay.

Piano Music Lessons

November 21st, 2009

Quseston: do piano music lessons really teach you how to play? Intuitively, the answer is yes; lessons help you learn the proper fingerings, the scales, the rhythms, how to play with dynamics, and how to sight read and follow time signatures, assuming this was your first foray into music.

But the fact that the repertoire is often restricted to the classical period and that your “playing” is simply a well-practiced regurgitation of timeless pieces might make you think otherwise.

Singing Voice Lessons Are Your Ticket to Success

September 30th, 2009

It all began when I was six. I was left alone in front of the television set, my eyes fixed intensely. The film being shown was the musical cartoon. From then on, I had my heart set on being one thing- a vocalist. My story starts on that most joyful day. From that day on, hairbrushes are no longer hair tools. They are microphones, exclusively manufactured for my chubby little fingers. I might grace my mother’s mates with a show or 2. In fact, they are the ones who urged her to take me to singing voice lessons. And like in the cartoon, they are the fairy godmothers who gave me the gift of song.

I started with the singing voice lessons at the ripe age of 7 at a theater college. Here, I was around youngsters my age who have the same interest! I am no longer the kid who occasionally burst into song in pre-school. I have mentioned below what I’ve learned by heart at my singing voice lessons class. It is never really too late to adapt these lessons. All one wishes is the eagerness, desire and dedication to possess the best possible singing voice.

Kelly Mccardle is an aspiring singer and composer who intends to make it big someday. According to her singing voice lessons are essential and they key to be a successful singer. You’ll be able to find more singing success stories, and singing tips and techniques at http://howtosing.org

Learning Guitar for the Beginner

July 12th, 2009

An article for learning guitar

Once you have your scales down and and pretty good fluid action with your hand positions and picking, it’s time to learn your chords. This is the base upon which most rock and jazz music is built; the chords that you play define the tone of the song, and how you’ll relate to the other musicians around you. Mastering these chords is the last step of learning guitar for the beginner.

How To Get Yourself Ready For American Idol Auditions

July 6th, 2008

Look, if you are a talented performer, please do not build up the American Idol auditions to more than they really are. Sure, doing well on your American Idol audition is important, but if you should have a poor performance and are voted off of American Idol, so what, it is not the end of your career. There are a plethora of other shows, musicals, and plays for you to try out for, and being on American Idol is far from the only way for a talented performer to get their career going in the showbiz industry. It is important to give it your very best, but don’t put needless pressure on yourself by making too big a deal out of it. Most importantly, don’t ever let anyone, especially jealous friends or family, discourage you from giving it your all. What other people think should not matter at all, if you think you are good enough to be the next American Idol winner, then go for it!

March 26th, 2008

Some people are talented enough to teach themselves to play an instrument like the piano. Those gifted musicians usually can teach themselves without the use of instruction books. Others, especially younger people, need piano books to grasp the technique required to learn how to play.

Instructional materials for learning the instrument come in a variety of styles, levels and formats. Typically if you are taking lessons, a teacher may recommend specific piano books. Using the recommended materials may become monotonous, depending on what kind of music you want to learn.

The choice is yours.
