What You Need To Know About Learning To Play Jazz Piano
May 18, 2010
The word Jazz is a word that sounds very musical. If you are seeking jazz piano lessons and a fresh way to play jazz piano, read on!
For the most part, jazz piano lessons start with learning and understanding chords. And that’s a great thing! But chords alone will not help you produce music. Sure, chords are valuable. However so is the other half of understanding piano improvisation and that has everything to do with TRUSTING YOUR INTUITION!
This is where the typical jazz piano lessons aren’t effective. You are taught chords yes. However, what can you do with these chords you were taught? You make music with them.
Now, a lot of jazz students have as their goal, the power to comp. They desire to be part of a trio or duo or some other combination of musical group. The most usual of these is the jazz trio. Here we have keyboards, bass, and drums. And this produces a very pleasant combo. However if you are interested in playing solo, you have a distinctive issue.
The solo piano player will have to learn and understand how to play chords and read from a lead sheet too. A lead sheet gives you the chord symbols and the melody line and that is all you must have to generate your own arrangements.
There are a lot of good books available for the person that wants to learn to play jazz piano and learn the art of soloing. However one thing a lot of of these books do not teach you is how to improvise and compose YOUR OWN MUSIC!
It is no shock that there is a shortage on this type of instruction. It is not in high demand. As I mentioned before, a good number of jazz piano players in training desire to understand how to play in a group setting. Wouldn’t it be pleasant to be able to discover how to compose your own music?
If you learn and can play 4 and 8-bar phrases, you are already aware of the significance of repetition and contrast in music. Repetition and contrast are the cornerstones of composition.
Listen, if you are already taking jazz piano lessons and really want to understand the art of composition on your own, study and learn how to play in 4 and 8-bar phrases. It will serve you well in the long run.
Click Here If you wish to learn much more about playing the piano and go from a novice to an experienced piano player fast then you really need to have these expert Beginners Piano Lessons that can really assist you.

Listen to Music Online
December 19, 2009
Many asked me to write a post about the Music Pages I’ve got in my websites, so you can easily Listen to Music Online :)
Ok, let’s start then. The first page is the Music Demos page here at ManuelMarino.com.
You can find it also in the top bar, title is of course Listen to Music Online.
In this page I’ve collected the latest tracks I’ve produced in 2009, mainly orchestral and film music, but there is also Astronauts and Funk Music whis is a mix of different styles, from choral to jazz, pop and funk.
You can access also to my Free Mp3 Player.
This Mp3 Player contains mixes from old tracks, mainly 1999 produced tracks, and later years.
These tracks come from my old archive of my CD’s published on Mp3.com in those years but there are also independent demos made just for fun and to show my talent as composer and producer.
After Mp3.com experience, I focused on games soundtracks and you can listen to some of them through my MarinoSounds.com Studio page.
Just check the pages of the multimedia projects listed in the homepage.
Last but not least, MarinoSounds.com has been totally renewed, new graphics and new design. There is also a new logo saying Blasting your mind with unique sounds.

Astronauts and Funk Music
February 26, 2009
Today I create a new category, named 2009 Music Demos, where I’ll publish totally new music tracks made with the latest gears but with the same talent behind: myself :)
These tracks are demonstrations of my skills and creative ideas and in each post I’ll explain the inspiration that moves them, the images I would like you to see while listening to them and the feelings.
Astronauts and Funk Music
This first post is dedicated to big 80s space operas, movies, novels and sci-fi culture. This is also a trip to old good 80s with their catchy rhythms, synths and guitars.
This first demo starts with a space choir, an opening orchestra and choir theme, I can say epic and grand, that creates images of galaxies, shuttles, astronauts and the infinity of the universe.
The choir evolves into a rock instrumental piece, with 80s synth effects that add a spacey feel to the entire track. I can name it “space rock”.
The next style is jazz, a universal style that will never end to please our ears, today, and in the next centuries.
Synths are back in an 80s pop mix, while a really catching funk part ends the demonstration, making us really uplifting and excited.
I dedicate this music work to Richard Garriott, Lord British in Ultima and significant figure in the video game industry.
On October 12, 2008, Garriott launched aboard Soyuz TMA-13 to the International Space Station as a self-funded tourist, returning safely 12 days later aboard Soyuz TMA-12.
