People enjoy listening to production music wherever they go, and I bet that most of the time, they won’t visit a music website to make a purchase. Instead, they will download the latest version of uTorrent and proceed to pirate music by obtaining discographies of their favorite bands. This not only negatively impacts the sales of the artists producing the music but, if you’re unlucky, you might also find yourself being pursued by the RIAA. If you consider yourself a true fan of the artist you listen to, then you should buy their CDs as a way to support their efforts.
However, with so many online stores to choose from, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. I used to have a favorite music website, lala.com, but it was recently acquired by iTunes, which saddened me because I really liked its interface. Well, that’s life, and I have to move on.
But don’t worry, there are many other options you can explore. If you’re looking for a good music website, I recommend going with the one from Apple. You’ll find that they have millions upon millions of songs available, and even if you’re searching for rare tracks, you’ll still … ...Read the rest.

For artists, the metronome can be the most important practice tool to invest in. Besides helping you maintain your tempo and rhythm, when used effectively, a metronome can bring discipline and structure to your practice sessions. There are several techniques you can employ with a metronome to achieve this.
Setting goals
One popular way to structure your practice session with a metronome is by using it to set tempo goals for challenging passages. The metronome serves as a way to assess and track your progress over time. One effective variation of this technique is to start the particularly difficult passage at about half the tempo (or as slow as necessary to play comfortably) and gradually increase the tempo by one click or BPM (beats per minute) with each successful repetition. It may take several practice sessions to reach your desired tempo. It’s important to have the discipline to stop increasing the tempo if the passage becomes too difficult to execute. Return to it later and work it up again from a slower tempo, and you’ll find that you can surpass your original goal. Repeat this process until your desired tempo has been achieved.
Another variation of … ...Read the rest.
