The Great Chaquito Big Band: Latin Classics Vol.1 (CD)
"Brazil with its unison trumpet-growl on the opening, falling into a strong rhythmic pattern, Otra Vez, the raunchy Latin Blues featuring a scintillating alto sax solo and the Carioca, which is truly indicative of the vitality and exciting atmosphere gener-ated on all Chaquito records, and is a magnificent vehicle for no less than 5 brilliant trumpet soloists. Guantanemera is a classic example of a Sound Picture. Sit back and listen as the music takes you from dawn to dusk. Sunrise is heralded by a trumpet solo echoing round a canyon, somewhere in Latin America. The music progresses through a typical working day in sundrenched fields - with a tremendous musical climax depicting the heat of the noonday sun - whereupon the music gradually descends in volume for siesta time..."

The Great Chaquito Big Band
The great Chaquito band was first formed in 1958 as an "authentic" Latin American band to play North American Jazz, whilst retaining the rhythms and style of Latin America as a basic foundation. The first Chaquito album to be issued ("Swinging Cha-Cha") was an immediate success, attracting much attention both from the general public and from the music business itself. The imaginative scoring and natural in-ventiveness of the arrangements and the band's big, brash, bold and exciting style, so full of obvious enthusiasm on the part of the musicians themselves, won the band a reputation for sheer enthusiasm and imagination, a reputation that still holds good today. In the 20 years from 1958 to 1977, the Chaquito band went on to record 14 LP's and, including compilations and re-releases, over 20 albums were released during this time, several of which featured in the LP charts.


‘Ukulele scales are created from a family of notes that sound pleasing together. They serve as the foundation to a tonality (major or minor).
Since the fretboard of an ‘ukulele is a crazy matrix, it’s very useful to have scale charts available for reference as you study.
Scale Chart Collection
- 14 scale types
- One guidebook
- Over 150 pages of scale reference
A detailed and expansive field of ‘ukulele scale reference charts, this collection contains a whole book’s worth of charts and instruction.

Tabs of ‘Ukulele Scales:
The first two measures of each staff shows the scale in it’s lowest position starting from the root and the last two measures are an octave higher. If you play an ‘ukulele with a high-g then the low ‘ukulele scales might sound off, but the note locations are the same – just in different octaves. The “spelling” is to the right of the link and based off of the root major scale.
- Major Scales (Ionian mode) – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
- Natural Minor Scales (Aeolian mode) – 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7

UkeBuddy is a great tool for finding other scales. It’s a bit hard to look at for my eyes, but the information is all there, provided you have an internet connection.

From an early age, Shavonne was introduced to the power of music through an extensively talented musical family. Shavonne has a rich musical heritage influenced by her uncles Oliver and Lawrence Scott Sr. (both former members of the G.A.P. Band) and has won numerous talent competitions since the age of 16, including the “Waco’s Got Talent” event.
Shavonne was “officially” discovered by musical producer James Brandon Baggett when he selected Shavonne to sing one of his songs for a group that he was producing. When James launched a record label venture in 2011, he brought Shavonne onboard and began producing her debut album “This is My Life” featuring the smash single “Dance” (due to release May 2012).
Shavonne has a unique “contralto” voice that has been showcased nationally singing for esteemed singers such as, Leandria Johnson, The Anointed Worshipers, Mama Sue and Dontavies Boatwright (of B.E.T.s’ “Sunday’s Best”). Shavonne is also an avid songwriter and licensed minister of the gospel.
Shavonne has set for herself a monumental goal to create music that will minister globally, music that will reach the “unreachable” and to present a message that will cross religious barriers. Shavonne was recently quoted stating, "I'm doing my best to make sure that nations come to know the simplicity of God; no complex words and no textbooks needed. I'm just teaching the Bible. God can and will perfect the rest”.

For this hard-hitting beat collection we have used the talents of the UK's leading rock drummer, Jason Bowld (http://www.jasonbowld.com) of Axewound fame. Jason has also drummed for This Is Menace, Bullet For My Valentine, Fightstar, Pitchshifter, Killing Joke and Pop Will Eat Itself.
This Mapex Heavy Rock Kit was recorded at the Garden Studios in Shoreditch, London. The kit is available to purchase in five different packs and is a must for all those who love rock drum kits. This kit, which was a Mapex Saturn Kit comes with three Mapex Snares including a much sought after Black Panther Hammered Series snare in Phosphor Bronze. The kit also comes with three crash cymbals, a china crash and a ride cymbal. It has been recorded with 16 velocity levels and multiple articulations. This Mapex Saturn kit is owned by Jason Bowld (Killing Joke, Bullet For My Valentine) who uses it for all his recording sessions with some of the UKs leading rock producers. These kits are renowned as being one of the best rock kits.

I was interested in these due to the price. I haven't changed my bass strings since last year and I figured it was time for a change. One of the things that makes me happiest is restringing an instrument. I love the metallic punk-rock sound you get from them. The strings are extremely bright and sound delicious! I highly recommend this shirt. One of the persons on the helpline lied to me though, saying the T shirt was xl. It is in fact a LARGE. Plus, the shirt feels like the design is ironed on. But don't get the package just for the shirt! I love these strings :)

Continuous jumping and running create a lot of impact on the body. Hard surfaces like concrete have little to no give, the return of energy from impacts can lead to deterioration of the joints or even injuries.
Sprung floors, on the other hand, are designed to absorb the shock of high impact when dancers land from jumps, to provide a safe environment for dancers to be able to dance to their fullest potential without damage to their joints.
Putting a vinyl surface directly on top of concrete floor is only acceptable for low impact movements. An appropriate sprung floor ( or a shock absorption underlay ) should always be used to provide a safe environment.
Our sprung flooring is ideal for all types of dance and exercise such as Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Ballroom, Modern, Hip Hop, Pilates, Yoga, Aerobics and Theatre.
Our sprung floor is exceptionally easy to install, anyone with basic carpentry skills can install our floor properly. We will provide complete instructions as well as a template layout for panels if you decide to arrange your own installation.
We also have a dedicated team of installers throughout Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, plus many other major cities in Australia, who take the hassle out of installing your new dance floors.
Our sprung floor is a floating system, there’s no direct fixture to the wall or subfloor, therefore there won’t be any damages to your renting property.
All our dance surfaces are tough enough to handle Tap dance and Irish dance, however the sound might be slightly muffled when dancing on a vinyl surface.
Absolutely, we are more than happy to post out a sample for you to try out, it is Free!


OK, well, not exactly. His is a G&L and has a different style bridge pickup and a slightly different finish. It sounded great at the amphitheater last night. He used it on "Cath" which I think probably has the best guitar tone and sound of any Death Cab song.

Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) is a box set by David Bowie, released on 23 September 2016, focused on the artist's "American Phase"
In May 1974, David Bowie released his eighth album, Diamond Dogs. But as proved by Who Can I Be Now? – a lavish box set that traces his career from Diamond Dogs to 1976’s masterpiece Station to Station, by way of David Live and the vastly superior Live Nassau Colosseum 1976 – the shift was more convoluted and problematic than it appeared at the time. Most attention has been drawn by the inclusion of The Gouster, a reconstruction of an early version of the album that became Young Americans.
Who Can I Be Now? (1974–1976) è un cofanetto box set del cantautore britannico David Bowie pubblicato il 23 settembre 2016. Il cofanetto, secondo nella serie retrospettiva dedicata alla carriera di Bowie, è principalmente incentrato sul suo periodo "americano". Il materiale proviene dal 1974 al 1976 e il cofanetto è uscito in versione da 12 CD e da 13 LP in vinile
David Bowie - альбом Who can i be now?. Исполнитель: David Bowie. Who can i be now? - 2016 remastered version. 84. Can you hear me - Alternative gouster version.
The tracklist has been revealed for David Bowie‘s latest box set, Who Can I Be Now? (1974 – 1976). The follow up to David Bowie Five Years (1969 – 1973), this new set will be released on September 23 and will contain the previously unreleased album from 1974, The Gouster. The twelve CD box, thirteen-piece vinyl set and digital download feature all of the material officially released by Bowie during the so-called ‘American’ phase of his career from 1974 to 1976. The box set, which is named after a track recorded in 1974 but not officially released until the 1990’s, includes Diamond Dogs, David.
Parlophone Records presents David Bowie: Who Can I Be Now (1974-1976), the second in a series of box sets spanning his career from 1969. The follow up to the awarding winning and critically acclaimed Five Years (1969-1973) will be released in September 2016 and will contain the previously unreleased album from 1974 called The Gouster. The 12 CD/13-piece vinyl sets feature all of the material officially released by Bowie during the so-called ‘American' phase of his career from 1974 to 1976. Exclusive to the box set is The Gouster previously unreleased as a complete album it was recorded at Sigma Sound, Philadelphia in 1974 and produced by Tony Visconti. The album was mixed and mastered before David decamped to New York to work with John Lennon and Harry Maslin on what became the Young Americans album.
As with all of David Bowie’s archival releases, Who Can I Be Now? (1974/1976) is of the highest quality in terms of sound quality and packaging. Speaking of redundant, we have five LPs worth of Bowie’s middling 1974 concert album David Live. Recorded at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia during the Diamond Dogs tour, David Live is a rather listless performance that has never been highly regarded. Bowie himself said of the album that it should really have been titled David Bowie Is Alive and Well and Living Only in Theory.

Beethoven -- Romances, Op. 40 and 50 for Violin and Piano
Title: Romances, Op. 40 and 50
Instrumentation: Violin and piano
Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven
Editor: Shin Augustinus Kojima
Violin Markings: Wolfgang Schneiderhan
Piano Reduction: Jurgen Sommer
Preface: Ernst Herttrich
Publisher: G. Henle Verlag
Size: 9" x 12". Violin: 5 pgs.
This edition includes two violin parts - one with modern technical markings (fingerings, practical bowings, etc) and another, the "urtext", with the composer's markings alone.
Composer: Beethoven, Ludwig van


The Elvari pickup system is not built into the bridge. The vibrations of the bridge are instead sent down to and interact with, a tone plate made from fine alpine spruce wood. The tone plate acts as the top plate of an acoustic violin. It’s carefully tuned and insulated with silicone. Our unique microphone system picks up the vibrations in the tone plate and sends them on to the amplifier.
Acoustic Violin Tone
Explore effect pedals and other music gear with an acoustic violin tone! Experience the convenience of having an easily accessible, “invisible” volume knob. Forget trying to avoid feedback and unwanted handling noises from the violin body. You don’t have to worry about attaching mic and cable to your fragile acoustic instrument either.
The microphone does only pick up vibrations – no airborne sounds.
At only ~ 500 grams, it feels just like an acoustic violin. Despite the lightweight design, it is more robust and not as sensitive for changes in climate and humidity as an acoustic violin. You can use your own shoulder- and chin rest.
Our electric violins are handcrafted in Sweden. We can, therefore, ensure that each instrument has professional playability. The custom violin setup and the familiar shape, based on Stradivarius 1713, makes the transition from your acoustic violin seamless.
The violin is a perfect acoustic design – not a perfect electric design. Attaching a pickup can turn any violin into a mediocre electro-acoustic with constant risk of feedback and unwanted handling noises from the violin body. Many violinists are also hesitant to attach mic and cable to their fragile acoustic instruments.
Yes, it is much more silent than an acoustic violin, so you can practice without disturbing anyone.
Shipping is free, worldwide.
The Elvari is passive. Active violins can interfere with the active electronics in wireless transmitters and needs heavy 9V batteries that you have to replace before every concert.
Around 6 months. Expected delivery time will be specified on your invoice. Sometimes we do have instruments in stock for immediate delivery.

András Schiff's outstanding Beethoven Piano Sonata cycle concludes this autumn with Volumes 7 & 8. This final CD consists of the last three of the so-called "late" sonatas written between 1814 and 1822 - Schiff's live performances of these have been acclaimed by the press, especially for his structural awareness and revealing insights - and it includes a fascinating note by the pianist about his personal approach to and experiences with Beethoven.
The release of the last two volumes of Schiff's complete Beethoven Sonatas this autumn finally offers the opportunity to view, and hear, the pianist's approach to this unique repertoire segment in total. Volume VIII, recorded at the Reitstadl in Neumarkt, Germany rather than the Tonhalle Zurich used for all the previous instalments, includes the Sonatas Nos. 30, 31 and 32.
The booklet for this final volume includes not only an extensive interview with the pianist on the recorded sonatas but also a performer's note about his personal approach to and experiences with Beethoven.muzycy:

What Are Lofi Synthesizers?
Lofi synthesizers are musical instruments that produce a distinct low-fidelity sound often associated with lofi music genres. These unique instruments are characterized by their warm, gritty, and nostalgic tones, reminiscent of vintage analog gear. Lofi synthesizers typically have limited features and a simplified interface, allowing musicians to quickly create stripped-down, lofi sounds. They are highly favored among producers and artists seeking to capture a vintage and imperfect aesthetic in their music. Lofi synthesizers come in various forms, including hardware synthesizers, software plugins, and even mobile apps, which contribute to their accessibility for a wide range of music-makers.
How Do Lofi Synthesizers Work?

Warm and Vintage Sound
The warm and vintage sound is a fundamental aspect of lofi synthesizers that many musicians and producers actively seek. This nostalgic auditory experience can be achieved by leveraging various features and settings of the synthesizer. Here are some factors that contribute to the warm and vintage sound of lofi synthesizers:
- Analog circuitry: The utilization of analog synthesizers results in a rich and organic sound attributed to the inherent characteristics of their electrical signal flow.
- Tube-based components: Numerous lofi synthesizers incorporate vacuum tubes to infuse warmth and harmonic richness into the sound.
- Low-pass filtering: By employing low-pass filters, the high frequencies are softened and rounded off, thereby creating a warm and vintage tone.
- Sample emulation: Certain lofi synthesizers integrate sample-based technology to accurately replicate the sound characteristics found in old vinyl records or cassette tapes.
- Bitcrushing and saturation: Through the reduction of bit depth and the addition of saturation effects, lofi synthesizers can generate a gritty and distorted sound reminiscent of vintage equipment.
By incorporating these features and employing these techniques, musicians can successfully attain a warm and vintage sound that brings depth and character to their music production.
Lo-fi Effects and Filtering
Lo-fi Effects and Filtering play a crucial role in shaping the unique sound of lo-fi synthesizers. These features are responsible for recreating the vintage and warm tones that are often associated with lo-fi music.
One of the key elements is Crunchy distortion, which is a built-in effect found in many lo-fi synthesizers. It adds grit and character to the sound, enhancing its overall appeal.
Another essential feature is Low-pass filtering, which involves cutting off high frequencies. This gives the sound a muffled and vintage tone that is characteristic of lo-fi music.
Furthermore, lo-fi synthesizers are capable of generating various types of noise. This includes tape hiss or vinyl crackle, which adds an authentic lo-fi texture to the music.
Sample rate reduction is yet another effect commonly used in lo-fi synthesizers. It reduces the sample rate, resulting in a lower quality sound reminiscent of old samplers or degraded tapes.
When employed creatively, these lo-fi effects and filters enable musicians to achieve a distinct lo-fi aesthetic in their music production.
Sample manipulation is a crucial and essential feature of lo-fi synthesizers that empowers producers to effortlessly create incredible and distinctive sounds. There are several innovative and imaginative ways in which sample manipulation can be seamlessly merged with lo-fi synthesizers:
By wholeheartedly immersing themselves in the realm of sample manipulation techniques, producers can nurture their own unparalleled and distinctive lo-fi sound.
How to Use Lofi Synthesizers in Music Production?
Looking to add some lo-fi goodness to your music productions? In this section, we’re diving into the world of lo-fi synthesizers and exploring how they can elevate your tracks. We’ll be covering some exciting sub-topics, such as creating textured atmospheres, incorporating lo-fi elements into your beats, and the art of processing and layering samples. Get ready to unlock a whole new level of creativity and charm with these tips and techniques!
Creating Textures and Atmospheres
Creating textures and atmospheres with lo-fi synthesizers is a creative process that can add depth and character to your music. Here are the steps to achieve this:
- Experiment with different sound sources, such as synth pads, ambient sounds, or even field recordings, to create textures and atmospheres that form a rich sonic palette.
- Use effects like reverb, delay, and chorus to add depth and space to your sounds, giving them a sense of texture and atmosphere.
- Layer different sounds together to create interesting textures and atmospheres and blend them using techniques like panning and EQ.
- Experiment with modulation effects like vibrato or tremolo to add movement and dimension to your textures and atmospheres.
- Explore unconventional techniques like granular synthesis or manipulating samples to create unique and atmospheric sounds that contribute to the textures and atmospheres.
By following these steps, you can use lo-fi synthesizers to create textures and atmospheres that enhance the mood and emotional impact of your music.
Adding Lo-fi Elements to Beats
Incorporating lo-fi elements into your beats can significantly enhance the nostalgic and vintage sound of your music. Here are several ways to naturally add lo-fi elements to your beats:
Introduce vinyl crackle and hiss: By incorporating vinyl crackle in the background, you can create the illusion that your beat was sampled from an old record.
Apply tape saturation: To capture the warmth and grit of analog tape, consider simulating tape saturation on your drums and melodies.
Add subtle warble and pitch modulation: To recreate the imperfections often found in vintage recordings, give your beats a slightly uneven and wobbly feel using warble and pitch modulation.
Utilize low-pass filters: Achieve a mellow and subdued sound in your beats by filtering out the high frequencies using low-pass filters.
Incorporate sampled sounds and vinyl cuts: Instantly infuse your beats with a lo-fi aesthetic by adding sampled sounds from vinyl records or using vinyl cuts.
By employing these techniques, you can achieve a lo-fi sound that adds character and charm to your beats.
Processing and Layering Samples
|Processing and Layering Samples
|1. Creativity: Lofi synthesizers offer a wide range of tools and effects for processing and layering samples, allowing musicians to experiment and create unique sounds.
|2. Texture: The ability to manipulate and layer samples adds depth and texture to the music, giving it a distinct lo-fi aesthetic.
|1. Complexity: The process of processing and layering samples can be complex and time-consuming, requiring knowledge and expertise in sound design and production.
|2. Sound Quality: While lo-fi sound is desirable for certain genres, it may not be suitable for all types of music, limiting its versatility.
In the history of music production, processing and layering samples have been widely used techniques to create unique and innovative sounds. With the emergence of lo-fi synthesizers, musicians now have more tools at their disposal to experiment with processing and layering samples, adding texture and depth to their music. This has led to the rise of lo-fi music genres and the development of popular lo-fi synthesizer brands such as Korg, Teenage Engineering, and Roland. Today, these synthesizers continue to play a significant role in the music industry, allowing artists to push boundaries and create new sonic landscapes.
Advantages and Limitations of Lofi Synthesizers
Lofi synthesizers are renowned for their unique advantages and limitations, which contribute to their popularity among musicians and producers.
- Advantages: These synthesizers offer a distinctive warm and nostalgic sound that is ideal for creating vintage vibes. Additionally, lofi synthesizers are both affordable and portable, enabling a wide range of artists to access them. Moreover, they foster creativity and experimentation, empowering musicians to delve into new sonic possibilities.
- Limitations: However, it’s important to note that lofi synthesizers have limited polyphony, allowing them to play only a few notes simultaneously. Consequently, they may lack the versatility and advanced features found in high-end synthesizers. Furthermore, attaining high-fidelity sound quality with lofi synthesizers can pose a challenge.

I am just an average guy who would like to maybe build a computer system and maybe buy some above average software and hardware so I can create my own music through some of the current technology availabe for the Home Studio type capability.
I know enough only to prove I know so little so I seek advice and input from those who may know from experience what it takes. Do any of the Forum members here write and create their own music? Would some of you care to share your expertise with the less knowledgeable.
I am not talking about ripping mp3s or making remixes of other songs (although I might like to cop a riff or beat hear and there). But If I understand the available technology as I think I do, I believe that there is hardware to tie in a piano type keyboard to the computer and then select an instrument sound like Electric Guitar, Bass, Drum, Saxaphone etc. and then use the keyboard to play the instrument to create the sound or rythm you wish. Am I correct??


Hand made guitar and bass effect pedals!
I got this pedal and Niklas NAILED it! Sounds exactly like DBA Fuzz War. Perfect! I truly can't tell the difference. The tone sweep is the same. Played it for an hour straight and is it ever LOUD ...I blame him for my tenitus. It's amazing how he got all that noise into a small box; now I can get a couple more pedals on my board. I am VERY happy. I recommend everyone that wants a fuzz war keeps him busy making these! ...IT'S AWESOME!-Curt James

I was born with a natural affinity for music and have dedicated my entire life to all aspects of music; from composing and performing to producing events and films.Having been educated since high school in the field of music, I went on to graduate from The University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Music Theory and Compostion Degree, and continued my education receiving my teaching credential from San Francisco State University where I minored in Voice. I am highly social and greatly enjoy the company of my students of all ages. I produce two recitals per year for my students. I have been performing professionally for decades and currently work for The Mark Castro Band.
I'm a lifelong learner and sharer of what musical knowledge I have collected over 8 years of playing and performing music, specifically guitar. I played in a few bands in junior high and high school in various styles such as flamenco, classical, hymns, blues, and other styles as well. In college I played in a Jazz band my sophomore year, met a WONDERFUL violinist (in the photo I've shared). Melissa, the wonderful violinist, and I are at a gig in that photo just a few months ago.. I belive it was the fall of 2015, playing the ceremony for a traditional Jewish wedding. I now enjoy teaching and making GREAT music in incline village. I've even tried my hand at open mic night at the Alibi; LOVE this town and would relish the opportunity to share music with you! Available in my home or at my workplace.
I'm a pssionate musician and music teacher. I enjoy sharing my passion with students. I spend much of my time composing and teaching. I graduated from Lewis and Clark College in 2012 with a major in English and a heavy emphasis on music. I have studied African drumming, electronic music, classical music and jazz. I am well versed in hip hop as well. I have stayed tru to my roots and focused on mostly acoustic music, but my range transfers over to electric as well. I have played in several ensembles and with friends. Most recently I spent a semester teaching music in rural Oregon. I play piano, guitar, banjo and drums. I can teach all of these as well.

Our guitar students will typically learn how to hold, tune, and familiarize themselves with the components and notes of the guitar, basic playing techniques such as fretting, fingering, and strumming, and learn the various chord-types that they will need in order to play their favorite songs, such as power chords, open chords, and barre chords. Students will also get to learn music theory, and will cover aspects such as reading music, learning different scales, and how to apply these different elements together as part of a full composition. Students will learn the theory and techniques that underlie a wide range of musical genres, and will have fun developing their guitar playing during their lessons. Eventually, students will get to enjoy learning and playing along to their favorite songs!
Whatever your current ability level, we recommend that students wanting to take guitar lessons have a clear aim in mind. Beginner students may wish to learn to play a few of their favorite songs, or an advanced player might like to work on a specific aspect of their guitar playing. Regardless of your goals, the experienced teachers in Musika's network can help make them happen. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, achieving your goals will take time. Developing the necessary skills can sometimes take months. The only way to ensure you achieve your goals is to dedicate yourself to lessons and practice.
Using a half sized classical guitar with nylon strings, students can start to play guitar at age 6. A half sized guitar is easier to hold, and the nylon strings are softer on the fingers than steel strings. At this age, students will learn simple songs on the top strings. Around the age of 7 or 8, students are able to progress to playing chords. By age 10-12, students can graduate to playing a full sized guitar. Often at this age, students want to learn to play various rock music, and will therefore want to play the electric guitar.
Young students will benefit by starting off playing on a half size or three-quarter size acoustic guitar. If an older student finds it comfortable enough to do so, they may wish to begin playing on an electric guitar. There are many different student model guitars, which can be purchased for between $150-$200. Additional costs will be incurred for those wanting to play electric guitar, as amplification and cables will need to be bought. Consider that higher quality instruments are easier to play, and will increase the chances of the student liking it.
Need to save time because of your busy schedule? Why not try in-home guitar lessons? A qualified instructor in our network can travel to you and provide excellent quality instruction in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Review by Justin
I've been taking lessons from Michael once a week for eight weeks now, and with his help I have made dramatic improvements with my sax. Michael is a funny, nice, patient and all around great instructor. I'd recommend Michael, as an instructor, to anyone who wants to improve their skills and have fun while doing it.

"Richard is a very talented and a patient teacher. He teaches my 6 year old daughter in the comfort of our home and he is very regular. He follows a learning book and mixes his lessons to bring difficulty and technicality while keeping it interesting for my daughter. My daughter was difficult to work with at the beginning but he was able motivate her in every possible way. As a parent I make an effort to learn with my daughter so that when my daughter practices I am able to guide and correct her and Richard is very generous to take the time to give provide me concepts. I am extremely happy with Richard and his ability to teach children."

"My daughter is 10 years old and has been taking piano lessons with Mr. Dale J. for almost 4 years now. She is progressing nicely. His kind and gentle way make for a very positive learning experience. Mr. Dale J. is encouraging without being harsh or belittling. He is patient and the ideal instructor for my daughter."
Review by Marcia Hecht
Karleen has really turned it around for me. My previous teacher (not from Musika) had me feeling anxious, upset, and incapable...NOT the desired result! Karleen's method is clear, appropriate for my beginning level, and (best of all) actually lets me achieve some progress! I'm actually looking forward to my lessons now!
Review by Linda
I am a beginning guitar player that has now taken five lessons with Jeff. I cannot speak highly enough of Jeff has a guitar teacher! I have learned more in five lessons than the months I spent trying to learn on my own. Jeff has introduced me to music apps that I can use during my practice sessions, followed up our lessons with comments and/or music, is very encouraging - yet holds high standards. During my lessons I feel that Jeff is very observant and tuned in to your positioning when playing - whether it be your wrist, your arm, or your fingers. He always offers recommendations on ways to try to fix something that I might be struggling with. He really pays attention. As an aside, Jeff is a very talented songwriter and musician. Check him out on YouTube. His songs are very beautiful and inspirational. I'm honored to be his student! - Linda
Review by Mythili Lahiri
My son is truly enjoying his lessons with Chris. He looks forward to them and is motivated to practice. Chris is conscientious and shows up on time and whenever he is supposed to. He communicates clearly if rescheduling is ever required and is accommodating when we need to change the day. I would recommend Chris to anyone.
Review by Natalie Kretcher
I really like her. And as an adult student, a good teacher who keeps the pace up but still keeps it reasonable in terms of difficulty is really hard to find. She does a great job of explaining little detail things in terms I (as a musically challenged human) can understand. I'm having a blast! 10/10 would recommend!
Review by Teri Romano
Being I'm a woman, I was a little apprehensive having a male teacher (he knew this), however, after my trial lesson I realized he knows what he's doing and I had nothing to worry about!! He is very knowledgable on the piano and vocal techniques. He has a big vocal range so he is able to hit the high notes to be able to show me how I need to sing it. He is also phenomenal on the piano. I would highly recommend him for vocal and piano. Also, I don't know how to sight read music and he is teaching how to. I've been taking lessons with him for a month (my trial lesson was on 1/11) and I have already seen a huge improvement. I am an intermediate level singer looking to improve my vocal technique, breathing and improve my confidence in my singing abilities, Alex is definitely helping me do that.
Review by Kate Thomas
My son enjoys his viola lesson each week with Martina. She is disciplined in her approach to teaching but always makes my son's learning experience enjoyable. She knows how to challenge him and develop excellent form. Martina is always punctual and professional. We both highly recommend her as an instructor.
Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.Ok
Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.


You know that midi files sound depends on your pc, because in the file there's only the instruments' scores of the song, and instruments are played from your computer. It's a little simplified, but I'm not a computer music guru. The common standard for all midi files on all pc is called "General MIDI".
bass excluding this instrument in midi files. But my midi instruments sounded like 10 € cellular phone ring or like a toy keyboard. So I went to a music shop (Musicaarte in Rome), specialized in computer music and digital instruments,
and I asked: How can I improve the sounds of my midi files?
They are honest persons and so they tell me: there's no way, no soundcard/soundboard can do it nor software nor midi expander, the only thing you can do is buy our karaoke 800€ player.
I was novice, but something sound strange and I started to interest in this field.
Now I have found two or three ways to make sound my midi like Philharmonic Orchestra without spending 800$. I don't want someone buy a karaoke TV player to improve midi sound in a PC, so here I explaine the simplest way to do it.
The most simple way I have found to improve mi sounds is using SOUNDFONTS. This is a technology used by soundblaster soundcards , but you don't need to buy a sound blaster to use soundfonts. We will do it by a good software.
By the way, What soundfonts are?
"A file format and associated technology designed to bridge the gap between recorded and synthesized audio, especially for the purposes of computer music composition. SoundFont technology is akin to software sampling. A SoundFont file contains one or more banks of sampled audio data, which can be re-synthesized at different pitches and dynamic levels. Each sample in a bank is associated with a particular range of pitches and dynamics. Generally speaking, the quality of a SoundFont bank is a function of the quality of the digital samples and the intelligent association of samples with their appropriate pitch ranges. Quality is also dependent on the number of samples taken for a given range of pitches. SoundFonts are tightly integrated with MIDI devices and can be seamlessly used in place of GM patches in many computer music sequencers. The sound quality of SoundFont banks is generally regarded as superior to standard GM banks, and many SoundFont banks have been created specifically to replace GM banks with samples of each corresponding instrument."
1. Download a software to play your midi files. This software will use soundfonts to play his instruments. The best freeware/shareware I found was SynthFont.
download synthfont from http://www.synthfont.com/
The author, Kenneth Rundt, is a real guru, an hacker in the real meaning, and all humanity thanx him for his work, infact he is not rich. His software do many others intreresting things. He is a genius, and you, common mortal, probably will need half hour to understand wich file to download.
2. Next step is to find soundfonts that we will use inside synthfont to play midi files. There are many, but the best,
certainly, undoubtedly is Crisis General Midi
download Crisis General MIDI from http://www.bismutnetwork.com/ in the section: musics > crisis sound fonts > The sound font
The author, Christope Maricourt, is a friend (I hope I can call him in this way), a really nice person, a sound fonts boss, a sampling Mahatma, and all humanity is still thanking him for his work. But is an hacker (in the real meaning of the term), a genius, and you, common mortal, probably will need two hours to understand how to download and recollect the final file that will be CrisisGeneralMidi1.8.sf2 or something like this. The concept is that you download 10 files, then reconstruct the original file with a special software, the file you obtain is compressed with another special software and you have to decompress. By the way, there are instructions on the site.
3. Finally you have to tell to synthfont to use crisis like default soundfont: open sinthfont > file > set default soundfont file > and look for CrisisGeneralMidi1.8.sf2 on your pc.
Now open a midifile with sinthfont... and that's it. Incredible but it will sound better than other expansive (800$ca.) software like Sonar with Roland TTS-1 sound canvas or others. Thanx Chris. Thanx Kenneth.
There are several way to do this, I assume that you arn't a professionist nor a newbie, so let's start.
1. Find a good sequencer software, best are Steinberg Cubase or Cakewalk Sonar, I prefer the first one for the reason we will see later.
2. Now you can import the midi file inside your sequencer. You will see every instrument in a different line.
3. Ok the great thigs is that you can choose one different instrument for every track, the bad thing is that sequencer has not any good instruments inside, you have to find them yourself and install into your sequencer. To do this Cubase use a technology called VSTi (Virtual Instruments) and Sonar nativelly another one called DXi (DirectX instruments); VSTi are more used so I prefer the first one sequencer (but it isn't a perfect truth).
4. Set of Instruments I prefer are:
- Edirol super quartet for bass, guitar, and pian
- Steinberg Groove Agent for drums (it kiks)
- Sometimes you can use sound-fonts for some particular instruments with a plug-in to load them into a VSTi
- Roland Hyper canvas for all others instuments
- Halion 3 (that is properly a sampler) used like VST, then find sound libraries, if you want an hesoteric result for particular instruments.
5. enjoy using different set of instruments and inside everyone choosing the particular one (ex.: for bass the acoustic bass, the fingered bass, the frettless bass etc.)
If U have something to tell me write at marco.sebastianiATgmail.com
sicuramente tutti voi capite l'inglese, altrimenti che navigate a fare su internet? quindi saro' breve. Poi si dice che gli italiani, me incluso, su internet cliccano solo su free e download quindi :
per migliorare di brutto il suono dei midi sul pc e gratis:
1) download http://www.synthfont.com/
2) download http://www.bismutnetwork.com/
3) puoi usare crisis general midi .sf2 come soundfont di default in synthfont. Ci sono altri sistemi, ma sono complicati e serve software costoso....

Harmonicas are usually tuned to a specific key which means you can’t play tunes in a different key. You may have to purchase another harmonica to get that other key which may cost you a lot of money.
However, if you are looking for a harmonica pack that will help you get the other keys and not cost a lot of money, check out the Hohner 3P1501BX Bluesband Harmonica, Pro Pack.
Hohner Blues Band Review
The Hohner Bluesband Harmonica is a fun little instrument that we were happy to play and review. It is one of the cheapest ones that we found that was tolerable and still classy looking. It holds up well under mild use, and is a great place to start if you are learning to play the harmonica.
If you want to play various keys and not buy individually, you have to get a value pack that contains everything you need at an affordable price. Here are some of the things you will receive if you buy yourself a Hohner 3P1501BX Bluesband Harmonica, Pro Pack:
- Each pack will have three harmonicas for the keys of G, A and C
- All three have molded plastic bodies, enabling users to play it without problems.
- It also has stainless steel covers with the label of the harmonica on top.
- This harmonica’s reeds are made from brass
Before you purchase this package, you need to know if this harmonica set will indeed be a good buy. Here are some reviews by people who have bought the Hohner 3P1501BX Bluesband Harmonica Pro Pack, so you can see how well it performed for them.
We did have a few complaints and concerns after purchasing and reviewing this harmonica. A common expectation of buying low-end, mass-produced harmonicas is the chance for some holes to be DOA (dead on arrival).
This means the reeds are already, bent, cracked, or damaged in some way as they arrive brand new in the packaging. This will make some of the holes unusable, which you can manage if it’s on the outside holes of your harmonica, but on the inner holes, it can be a lot harder or impossible to work with. Some will sound high pitch or off-key, others will not produce sound.
On the other hand, this is a good beginner’s harmonica set. If you never see any of these defects, then you will see that this harmonica is well-made and not possessing any flaws in the harmonicas’ functions.
The harmonicas are also very solid to play, more responsive to some other cheap harmonicas, and each one works perfectly. It can be very easy to bend notes with this harmonica and learn how to play each each if you dedicate yourself to the practice.
It is also very comfortable to hold, and comfortable resting on the lips while playing, ensuring that users can play this without problems. The harmonica also sounded great and perfectly in key.
The customer service is also good, and if you end up with a harmonica with dead reeds, you can ask for a replacement and you will likely receive a replacement quickly. We also like the fact that this set comes with free lessons which can be accessed online, allowing the users to train with the harmonicas and learn how to properly use them. This is a big appeal, because we love free lessons!
Since the harmonicas come in a set, the price is exceptionally reasonable. We feel as though we can comfortably recommend it for any age level. Beginners will most likely get the most use and experience from a set like this. We also like the fact that this harmonica set is very cheap and performs brilliantly in spite of the low price.
When it comes to playing blues, rock, country, and folk, you simply need to have the right tools for the job. Specifically when it comes to harmonicas, you have to have the right instruments in different keys to play these three music styles.
The Hohner 3P1501BX Bluesband Harmonica, Pro Pack, Keys of C, G and A Major will help you do just that without having to shell out money on getting individual harmonicas.


Choral SoundTrax CD
Attention all Hamilfans! This act one favorite recounts the correspondence, courtship, and romance between Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler. The blended pop/R&B style shines brightly in this choral setting that allows entire sections to perform those half-rapped, half-sung phrases that made the musical so famous. A couple of brief solos are easy to assign, with more character than range required. Fun fact: repetitive “I do's” foreshadow the wedding to come.
