“learn To Play” Musical Instrument Sets

We all have a few of those childhood dreams that fell to the wayside as we grew up. We were either too busy or too involved in something else or were too poor or just kept forgetting about it. It doesn’t matter why we never learned to play the instruments that we wanted to, what matters is that now that we’re adults, are we going to learn to play the musical instruments we dreamed of?  While shopping for the musical instruments of our dreams, we keep running across the “learn to play” instruments and book sets. They look like they were probably designed for kids, but the instruments look like they are almost high quality enough to get away with playing. So can anyone really learn to play a musical instrument from the “learn to play” series?  To be honest, those who learned to play at least one musical instrument as a child most likely can learn to play another musical instrument form the “learn to play” series provided we at least learned the basics of reading music. Being able to at least read the basic scale from sheet music will help tremendously when trying to learn to plat a musical instrument from a book. Some people do very well learning to play musical instruments from a book, but the people who do very well all have one thing in common, they are self learners. Those of us who were born in the mid to late seventies and beyond grew up in a system of education that everything was handfed to us, thus the majority of us do not learn very well on our own. We need someone to hold our hands and teach us note by note to play a musical instrument, not to mention trying to learn other things. Learning to play a musical instrument from a book requires a certain amount of self teaching ability. Without the ability to “figure things out along the way,” learning to play a musical instrument from a book will prove to be quite frustrating, although it can most certainly be done. If our desire is strong enough and our patience can run fairly deep, then yes, we can learn to play a musical instrument from a book. There are few things quite as satisfying as accomplishing something like the challenge of learning to play a musical instrument from a book. As we learn to play any musical instrument without the guidance of someone else, just like kids, our confidence grows. For adults, learning to play a musical instrument from a book may very well be the realization of a childhood dream, and there’s nothing but pure magic in that.

Few days ago I started thinking about how I could re-purpose the keyboard of the dismantled piano I keep in the garden, so I thought to build a new instrument by combining it with some other parts I had laying around. I ended up with this mechanical hybrid thing I thought to call “Bassoforte” (bass + pianoforte). The neck is from a broken electric bass, as a bridge I used a cabinet handle, the pickups are from a guitar, and the part at the top where the strings are attached is a chimney cap, which works as resonator as well as percussive sound. The track I created is a tribute to my Dad who is a big fan of Western comic books and “spaghetti western” films, and because of him I am too. I hope you’ll like it! The track is available also at my Bandcamp page: diegostocco.bandcamp.com Here you can see a gallery with pictures and more detailed descriptions: www.behance.net

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 29, 2005

On September 12, 2005 a-ha will play Irving Plaza in New York City. It has been nearly 20 years since a-ha’s last concert on American soil.

The band remained active as a-ha from 1985 – 1994 and then took a pause to pursue solo efforts and other interests. The band returned to continue on as a-ha in 1998, touring internationally and releasing new material along the way.

Last year, a-ha switched record companies and signed a multi-album contract with Universal Records. The band is currently in the studio working on the first album under the Universal family slated for release later this year.

After their debut album “Hunting High and Low” in 1985, a-ha were eager to get away from their imposed teeny bopper status. Their sophomore effort, “Scoundrel Days” took a much more serious and darker approach in terms of music style and songwriting. This gritty and sustentative path led them to their 4th release “East of the Sun West of the Moon”. a-ha broke away from their signature synthesizer and drum machine sound of the 80′s and fully developed their unique styling with real instrumentation for a new and mature direction in their sound.

In the mid 90′s, a-ha were considered to be the biggest band in the world. The international press were in shock when a-ha gathered a paying audience of 200,000 people at the Rock in Rio festivals in Brazil 1991. George Michael, Guns N’ Roses and Prince had only been able to gather 60,000 each. The 200,000 crowd was a long standing world record for paying audience at a rock concert until recently broken by the Rolling Stones in 2004 at the SARS concert.

Among their peers in the music industry, a-ha have gained the respect of many of today’s popular artists: Coldplay, Keane, Sarah Brightman, Leonard Cohen and The Edge in U2 all have sung the praises and proclaim how influential the band has been to their music development.

a-ha has sold approximately 40 million albums and 25 million singles world wide.

Performing live September 12, 2005 at Irving Plaza, New York.

Anabel Romero – Music Single ‘Warning’

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) July 28, 2010

Anabel Romero and her dance single Warning entered the US music scene recently with an impressive breakthrough title that charted as a top breakthrough on Billboard Magazine’s Dance Club Play Chart back in May 2010 and quickly climbed the competitive chart where it currently stands in the top 30. Anabel Romero’s Warning has been sharing the popularly viewed dance chart with singles from Christina Aguilera, The Black Eyes Peas, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Scissor Sisters, Farrell, Macy Gray and Rihanna. This is an impressive feat considering most of the dance singles on the Billboard Chart are backed by record labels such as Capitol, RCA, Interscope, Universal, Columbia and Def Jam.

Warning was written and produced by Bryan Todd and Smidi for BT Entertainment and was remixed by John Rizzo, VanConkrite and Mark Picchiotti. TS Records is the independent label behind Warning.

“The moment I heard Anabel sing in my studio I knew there was something special about her and her voice,” said songwriter and producer Bryan Todd. “Her voice posses a strength, maturity and quality that go beyond her years. I’m very excited I got a chance to work with her so early in her career.” Bryan Todd’s has written songs for Jordan Sparks, Ashley Tisdale and Miley Cyrus.

“I’m so happy to be recording music and singing,” said Anabel Romero. “I’ve always wanted to sing and I’m just so happy that I now have a chance for people to hear what I can do. I’m very lucky and I’m thrilled that my single Warning is on the Billboard Dance Chart.”

Anabel Romero who is about to turn 19 years old was raised in New Rochelle, New York. She is the youngest of four and the first of her family to be born in America. Anabel’s parents are Colombian and have lived in the United States for the past 22 years but they frequently travel back to Columbia with their children. As a result of this, Anabel grew up with several cultural influences that have definitely contributed to her music.
