A music shop is a captivating place to visit, where one can find and admire all the instruments that create beautiful melodies. For those who are not yet musicians, these shops serve as the starting point for their magical journey into the world of auditory delights. Let’s take a look at some of the products that can be found in the realm of sounds.

Pianos are akin to playing a harp with small felt-covered hammers, resulting in a pleasing and soulful outcome for the ear. These instruments come in three models: spinet, console, and grand. Additionally, there is an electronic adaptation called the Electronic Piano. All of these are touch-sensitive and cater to the expressive demands of composers.

Guitars are also acoustic instruments with six strings that can be plucked, picked, or strummed. By selecting single notes or chords, one can create auditory beauty from these exquisite wooden boxes. They are tuned using tuning pins located at the far end of the fretboard and can be equipped with electronic pickups for use in stage bands.

Percussion instruments include snare drums, bass drums, and cymbals, which form a typical collection for a stage band. They play a crucial …

Hanson Explains SXSW – Japanese Quake – Benefit Concert

Many of us have read and heard about the devastating destruction caused by the earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, and so has Taylor Hanson. However, unlike the general public, Hanson possesses the financial resources and influence to provide assistance to those in need during this crisis. And that’s exactly what he did by organizing a charity concert in a remarkably short amount of time.

The Hanson band happened to be in Austin for the South by Southwest music festival, and they immediately began brainstorming ideas. Less than 12 hours later, all the major preparations had been made. The band, consisting of siblings, reached out to agents, organizers, and fellow musicians, and everything fell into place seamlessly. In an interview with MTV News at the studio where the concert was set to take place, Taylor Hanson expressed their belief that the music community at South by Southwest should be about more than just individual artists’ promotion. They wanted it to be a platform for providing relief to the millions affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

To their surprise, nothing was being done about it, and the festival seemed to focus primarily on individual artists’ …

‘The Strokes’; Journey of Success

It was 10 years ago when the Strokes delivered a memorable performance at the South by Southwest music festival at the intimate Iron Cactus venue. After a decade-long hiatus, the band made a triumphant return to the annual music event on Thursday and held a free concert at the Auditorium Shores location, with the stunning Austin skyline as the backdrop.

The band made their entrance on stage to the tune of “We Will Rock You,” but kicked off the proceedings with the opening track from Room on Fire, “What Ever Happened?” Lead singer Julian Casablancas, gripping the microphone in his trademark double-handed stranglehold, crooned, “I want to be forgotten, and I don’t want to be reminded.” It seemed like he wanted to express his genuine emotions through the song’s famous lyrics, and the audience went wild, with some even pushing against the fences just to catch a glimpse of their revered band. The vast arena deviated from the typical SXSW yearly traditions but quickly filled up as the Strokes sought to find their rhythm, showcasing the influence of indie bands on the masses.

Casablancas, dressed in a black leather jacket, wearing a calculator watch and nighttime eyewear, …

Using In Ear Monitors Improves Your Voice

If you haven’t used in-ear monitors on stage while singing, you’ll be surprised at the impact they can have on your performance. Even the most affordable models work well enough to be worth the investment and can instantly enhance your vocal performance.

I have always emphasized and continue to emphasize that the best thing anyone can do to improve their singing is to learn how to listen carefully. Listening includes hearing. By using these in-ear monitors, you’ll be able to hear your vocals clearly, and as a result, you can sing stronger immediately because it’s much easier to hear yourself. The first time I used these devices during a rehearsal with my rock band The Invictas are back - Bruce Atchison is one of my (no more available Yahoo Group) best members and he wrote this great article. Bruce is a legally blind freelance writer and the author of two books, When a Man Loves a Rabbit (Learning and Living With Bunnies) and Deliverance from Jericho (Six Years in a Blind School). The first… , after just a few songs, the band members remarked, “You’ve never sounded better!”

But that’s not the coolest part. There are various …
