When I tell people I play the piano, the most common reply I hear is Oh Ive always wanted to play but Heres are the top-ten reasons that adults give for not becoming a musician- even though its their secret ambition. Read on for how to overcome these barriers and achieve your dream.

Im just too busy

Most people assume that you will need hours of free time every week set aside for lengthy practicing to get any good. This idea is a complete fiction- in fact I would say about 5 minutes each day is fine at first (and if you dont have 5 minutes per day to spare, I dont believe you!). If you book lessons with a teacher, you will be committing some time at least each week to concentrate on learning, which may even be enough at first.. Dont kid yourself youll be less busy in three months time because if you dont start learning now you probably never will.

I work shifts/ long hours so I cant fit time for lessons in

Many teachers will offer lessons in the daytime, evenings and weekends- so you should be able to find something that suits you- just call up some local teachers and ask when they have spaces in their schedule. There are also a good number of online courses for most instruments. Or you could buy a Teach Yourself Book and take it from there.

Lessons are too expensive

Again, you could start off teaching yourself from a book- but not all lessons are as expensive as you might think. I teach in groups, which keeps the cost down for the individual, and also turns lessons into a social activity. Find out if there are any teachers in your area who do this.

Im too old

Your definitely never too old to learn a musical instrument! In fact Ive found adults of all ages learn much faster than young children initially. Learning new cognitive skills has even been found to have great health benefits.

I wont be able to learn

Well, Ive never met anyone incapable of learning to play yet! Obviously people have different standards and natural abilities, theyll learn at different rates. But everyone will be able to play to some degree. The best thing is to ask yourself what you want to achieve and then just go for it.

Ill never be any good, so whats the point in starting now

This depends what you mean by good. OK, I admit if your 57 and never played a note in your life theirs no chance of you becoming a virtuoso after ten lessons. But is that really why you secretly want to learn your chosen instrument? How about learning just for the sheer achievement of acquiring a new skill. Or being able to pick out a few carols at Christmas. Or finally write down and record that song thats been going round in your head your whole life. These are all achievable goals you could reach after learning an instrument for just a short time. And does it even matter if your any good if you really enjoy playing?

Ive been told Im tone-deaf and so I cant learn

The short answer to this is, your almost certainly not. Tone deafness is a very rare and specific condition, and music lessons should help improve your listening skills.

I dont think any teachers will be interested in taking on an older learner

Most teachers I know (including myself) really enjoy teaching adults because they have made the decision to have lessons themselves and appreciate lessons so much more than children who are learning all the time. Maybe your children are having lessons, why not ask their teacher if they could teach you as well? Im sure they would be pleased to, or at least recommend another teacher with vacancies.

Id love to learn again- but I hated my lessons when I was younger

A lot of adults have horror stories about severe piano teachers rapping their knuckles with rulers for making mistakes, and punishing them for not practicing 30 minutes a day. Luckily, there arent many (any?) people like that around anymore. Please dont let a bad experience from the past stop you from achieving what you want today. Find a teacher, let them know what you want to achieve and Im sure they will be pleased to help. If you dont enjoy their lessons, let them know why- music lessons should be enjoyable, and as an adult you will be the one in control, with your teacher there to help you.

Ive heard learning to read music is really hard

Learning to read music is really very straightforward. And some teachers might be happy for you to play by ear. Theres a lot of advice on reading music, on the web which can get you started.

I hope none of these excuses are holding you back from becoming a musician! Good luck in learning to play your chosen instrument.

On August 23, 2006, I had the privilege of hearing the Sons of Maxwell at the Festival of Lights in Peterborough, Ontario. It was a drizzly evening but a large crowd was in attendance to enjoy this excellent band. My feet were happy as soon as I hit the concert field. The band was playing So Confusing from the Among the Living album, a lively, very danceable tune with lyrics that could have been written for a star-crossed seeker/ broken-hearted dreamer like me.

The Sons of Maxwell are billed as a Celtic band, they have a strong East Coast sound reminiscent of The Rankins meeting The Gin Blossoms, a very appealing, catchy, Celtic Country Rock. They won an ECMA award this year for their eighth full length recording, Sunday Morning, as the Country Recording of the Year. Originally from Timmins, Ontario, the band relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia and have carved a place for themselves in the outstanding East Coast music scene in Canada ,building up a loyal fan base.

Among the Living was recorded in the year 2000 and is the first recording in which all the songwriting was done by Dave Carroll. He also produced Mile A Minute with the rest of the production credits, and some of the musicianship, being shared by Tim Feswick and Jon Park Wheeler. Dave and his brother, Don, combine their considerable vocal talent in the Sons of Maxwell so we enjoy the benefit of harmonies that only brothers can create. They are backed by an excellent band and, from what I can gather, these musicians have managed to stay together for a while. The Carroll brothers named the band in honour of their Father, Maxwell. The strong love of family is expressed often in the music on this CD and in their live performance.

The touching and beautiful tribute to Abigail, Hold On, was written for their grandparents (I think I have the story right) when their Grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. This song was recognized by the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society for its profound message. Mile a Minute is the most sensitive and articulate love song I have ever heard. This song is written from a man’s perspective and it makes me wonder if men really can feel that kind of love for a woman. It gives me hope that such love is a possibility. Easy Come, Easy, Go is a song that etches the range of emotions one goes through after we have failed at a relationship. Working Man is a tribute to a hardworking Father ( the men I know identify with this song very strongly). Lady for L.A. is a story of the unattainable woman that men are always seeking. The 5:07 is a song of leaving someone behind but hoping that they will ask you stay even if you know you can’t. It seems like he is leaving because of misplaced loyalty and obligation knowing that he is going to feel regret for his choice.

‘Burning Bridges is a powerful song about not following the pack or the road most travelled. It reminds us how easily people get caught up in following in other people’s footprints, worrying about what they think, or doing what others think we should do instead of embracing our individuality. The title track, Among the Living, is a beautiful anthem telling us that life is a journey, full of ups and downs but reminds us to always take our place among the living, When the Circus Comes to Town is an exuberant tale of a family reunion, Get It Jumping is a very upbeat, just get up and party song. Mrs. Stanley is a tribute song as well, I am inclined to think it must be an old neighbour or a teacher, someone who was kind in the past.

The night of the concert they had all of their recording on sale but, as usual, I was poor so I chose Among the Living. Other Sons of Maxwell CD’s available are Bold Frontier from 1994; Live at Tim’s House 1998; The Neighbourhood 1998; Sailor’s Story 2000; Instant Christmas 2001 and Sunday Morning 2004. You can order past and current albums as well as a DVD from their online webstore and you can also listen to samples of their music by visiting their website at Sons of Maxwell. Booking information, appearance schedules and biographical information is also available here.

The whole feeling I get from this album is that you can’t stand looking at the past with your back to the future, life goes on and we owe it to ourselves to be the best that we can be, come what may Dave Carroll is an extraordinary songwriter, carefully sculpting his songs to express the deep, universal themes that we will all experience as we navigate life. My favourite tracks are So Confusing, Mile A Minute and Burning Bridges but the whole album flows together beautifully. The sound is rich, comforting and full of grace and insight. The Sons of Maxwell are going to go far. I look forward to seeing them again the next time they play in my area.

An important aspect of the Indian culture is obviously the Indian music. You cant even imagine what important Indian music is to Hinduism. Music and dance has even a religious importance in Hinduism. In fact the beginning of the Indian music is based on religion. The first songs in Indian were in fact religious hymns and ballads. They were called bhajans and were based on religious facts, legends and myths. They used few musical instruments, such as the sitar or a table.

Due to the fact that there are many languages spoken in India, and not just one as in the case of most of the countries, India has more than one Indian music entity. In fact, there is no such a single entity as Indian music at all. You might think that since the India is in its majority predominantly rural, such music categories form the majority. But, due to the development of television, communications and mass media, Indian music is nowadays based on a pan-Indian popular style, recorded electronically. This is popular to us with the Indian films. The Indian film industry was the one that made Indian music word wide popular.

Original Indian music actually refers to an old music, a traditional one based on raga and a rhythmic system called tala. Raga is considered to be the melodic basis of Indian classical music. The word comes from Sanskrit and means color. Raga is not only a musical idea. It inspired painters, poets, architects and art in general. So we can say that raga influences the Indian culture.

This genre appeared for the first time thousands of years ago, and comes from the early Hindu settlers. It was different then, and reached the form we all know today about five hundred years ago. It was called sangit and it described a vocal music accompanied by instrumental music and dance.

The Muslim invasion in the 13th and 16th century played the most important roles into the bifurcation of the Indian music into a northern and southern tradition: a Hindustani music and Carnatic music. They keep the traditional influences of raga and tala but borrowed other influences too. As we all know it, India is made of several ethnic groups, each with their own languages, dialects and traditions. So, the Indian music has Persian, Arab and even British music influences. Yet, the traditional Indian music, Hindustani and Carnatic music remain the fundament of the Indian music we listen today, and also sources of cultural expression, religious inspiration and pure entertainment. The first texts of Indian music were Sangita-Ratnakara, Natya shastra and Brihaddeshi.

But here is how Indian music made it to the open. It all began with Bangladesh-born Ali Akbar Khan’s 1955 concert in New York. After that, the demand for Indian music leads to the hippy ethos, and raga-rock became the trend of the 60s. Byrds album Morning and evening ragas was the first Indian music album to appear in the western world. It became so popular in the Sixties than he reached more than 10 albums. More, in 1967 the Ali Akbar College of Music in the San Francisco Bay Area was founded by Khan. Indian musical instruments can be mainly classified into three categories: classical, western and folk instruments. There are wind, percussion and string instruments. The win d instruments are: bansuri (one of the oldest instruments in India), nadaswaram, pungi, shehnai and pullanguzhal. The percussion ones are : chanda, dhol, dholak, ghatam, idakka, kanjira, tabla, mridangham, pakhavaj, and thavil. The string ones are: ektara, tanpura, esraj, sarangi, sarod, sitar, santoor, and gottuvadhyam. But these are not all. There are other native Indian music instruments that I can mention.

Just as children need their parents to read to them and teach the alphabet, parents can also teach their young children the foundational music Language skills for piano or keyboard. If you can teach your child the alphabet, you can also give them an important foundation at home for learning to read music and understand keyboard theory. Even if your young children are already taking piano lessons, piano teachers don’t have time in a 30 minute weekly lesson to give kids the complete foundation they need to read music easily. But most parents dont know how easy this is to do because they dont have the right tools, resources and support from their childs piano teacher. Sometimes piano teachers even make parents feel stupid when they ask what they can do at home to help. They act as though only a piano teacher with their level of education and experience is qualified to do this. This is not true! Even if you dont play the piano, you are absolutely qualified to help your child get a great keyboard foundation at home.

When I show parents how easy it is they are so relieved. Their young children taking lessons are able to get the right musical foundation they need to advance much more quickly. Plus they stick with piano because their experience is so positive! I have been showing parents how they can do this for years. Its a very simple straightforward process. And you can learn it too.

So find a piano teacher who is willing to give you the guidance and support necessary to help your young children get the musical foundation they need to excel in piano. Dont believe you are unqualified. In fact when it comes to piano pre-skills, parents are the most qualified of all!

Hell, if I really knew how to do this I wouldnt be writing about it, Id be churning out dance floor classics like they were going out of fashion!

I think I can give some helpful advice, having ripped up many a podium in my dancing days, and having studied music all my life, but if anyone tells you they know the secret to writing Ibizas big summer tune, then theyre lying. Unless you happen to be talking to Kid Crme, in which case listen to every word he says, write it down immediately and email it to me. Cheers.

This piece assumes you have a little musical knowledge.

(before I start I feel a disclaimer coming on! Over time I will refine and rewrite these lessons so that they work well together. Please forgive if this first one is a bit hotchpotch Ill come back to it in time and in light of future lessons)

Ok. Lets get stuck in. Lesson one is all about..

The Groove

Youre sitting there in a bar with your crew looking cool, but out of nowhere you just cant stop your hips moving, or if you get it really bad, (like I did all the time) then you give up looking cool all together, ditch your drink and your buddies and shake your undoubtedly sexy thing all over the place. . What is it that gets those shoulders rollin, feet tapping and finger clicking? What is it that makes you feel like John Travolta, What is it that makes you wanna crack on with every member of the opposite sex within sight?

Its the groove man! .and getting your groove right is key to writing a successful dance tune. Its a combination of many things, but mainly its the interplay between the bassline and the percussion, or drums or rhythm section, (whatever terminology you prefer).

Kick drum spend ages getting this right. Listen to loads of samples. Bowie reputedly listened to kick drums for four weeks before choosing the one that appears on heroes. (this is probably nonsense,.. and if its not, its probably due to copious ingestion of class As) but the point is, The kick drum is the pump, the heartbeat and the engine. Use a weedy kick sound, and youll still be packing shelves one year from now.

All your sounds need space. They need to sit somewhere. Whilst a kick drum may sound buried in the mix, go listen to 5 of your favourite dance 12s. At the start of the tune you will get a good 30 seconds of kick drum that you can analyse. Listen carefully.. particularly to the tail ..(the part of the kick drum sound that is not the initial hit). I almost guarantee it is not dry. It will have some form of decay or reverb. Good reverbs for kick drums are gated which decay to a certain amplitude then cut immediately to silence. The length size and shape of this reverb or decay depend upon the tempo of the tune, your taste and whether or not you are creating a deliberate audible effect or ambience.

Bassline wow. The number of hours Ive spent trying to get the right bass sound! The type of bassline youve written will dictate the type of sound you want. .also.. listen to whats in your head. This isnt as easy as it sounds, but it comes with practice. Is it like a real bass? Is it squidgy? (like you hear in acid techno), is it deep and resonant? ..you get the picture.

Listen to your bass sound with your kick. How do they work together?

Now they probably wont be perfect. Dont worry. There is a whole world of pain between here and trying to get it perfect, including compression, mixing, limiting bla bla bla (but all that is for another time). All were interested at this point is getting the kick and bass in roughly the right ball park. Is the bass too loud? Does that kick sound too fat? Just use faders and a little Eq. Get them roughly right.

Now that bass line is it doing exactly whats in your head or is it well, groovier in your brain? Listen very carefully to what your brain is playing. Have you definitely written all the notes, are you missing crafty little finger picks or grace notes, does one of your bass notes bend, is one of the notes slightly late giving it swing, or early giving it push? If youve definitely got all the notes down. EXACTLY as youre hearing them, then your brain version sounds groovier because of production elements and thats for another lesson. So, all notes written, lets move on.

Crafty tips:

• Try using two bass sounds. The most obvious example of this is any dance tune with a slap bass. Most of the bassline will be played by a nice round fatty, with the occasional slap. This slap will be on a higher note and using a different sound. Usually a less fat mid-frequency sound.

• Play with velocities. er, try this, just for an exercise. Write four bars of sixteenths accenting every third sixteenth. Get that rolling feel? Write another four bars of sixteenths and accent the 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th 14th, 16th, totally different feel right..but the notes and their lengths are just the same. Play about with this, and then play about with the velocities on your bassline.

Percussion so your hats are on the off beats. Your snares/claps are on beats 2 and 4 of each bar. So why doesnt it sound groovy? Because its way too straight! Crafty tips:

Try putting snare hits on the 2nd, 8th and 10th sixteenths of the bar, and taking their velocities right down. This will give you a feel for the massive potential in those hidden 16ths. With your snare sound play around with them.

Hats: So you have a nice fat hat on the off beats. Now take a much smaller, tighter closed hat sound and write one on the 5th, 6th,13th,14th and 16th sixteenths of the bar. Again, play around with the positioning of these.

Congas/Bongos. Careful here! Theyre beginning to sound a bit tired these days. That said, I put them in my last tune! Haha! Tunings for all your sounds are important but for your congas etc, its key! (scuse the pun!)

They have to be tuned

1. in relation to each other. try putting them a 4th apart, or a 5th or a major 2nd
2. in relation to the rest of the tune.

Cant lie. This is difficult. But youll know when youve got it right. Panning: try having one conga biased to the right, the other slightly left(no hard panning..it will just make things sound barnyard, and wont play well on mono systems) Velocities are crucial in congas, because unlike the other drum sounds, theyre supposed to sound human. Humans dont play the same velocity twice!

Use swing quantise on your sequencer. (also known as humanise) personally I always found this gave random and undesirable results (as though the conga player had had a few too many disco biscuits) so I always nudge the timings myself. Tedious, but more realistic results.

.ok. theres loads more, but that will do for now. This is a pretty vast subject, more lessons to follow.

In many articles on the net on learning to play guitar you will find many article authors stressing the importance of setting goals. Well, it would be interesting to find out if you can learn to play guitar without goals. Let us investigate the matter!

I have many memories of my first attemps to play the guitar. Like many boys I had many interests like reading, playing piano, singing, listening to music, athletics, chess, stamp collecting, painting and other things at different times. Playing guitar was just one of them.

I remember that I had my own way of practicing guitar playing. I always had my guitar on my bed waiting for me. I sat down on my bed many times everyday playing for a while and then starting to do other things.

Sometimes I felt inspired to play guitar for an hour or two and other times just for a minute. Did I have goals or not?

I know that I was developing as a guitarist quite fast and I think it must have been something in my way of playing and practicing guitar that was good.

I believe that some of the reasons for my progress during those early days of my learn to play guitar career were:

1. I felt no pressure to become an accomplished guitarist. I just felt the joy of sitting down with my guitar trying to find out the treasuries in the land of music.

2. My father was a guitar teacher giving me lessons at times and I always heard him play guitar in our home. Other guitarists visited our home many times and these visits inspired me a lot.

3. I never felt a pressure to play fast and thereby building tensions by playing too fast. This is one of the big mistakes beginning guitarist and even accomplished guitarists sometimes make.

4. As I mentioned previously I did a lot of other things besides playing guitar and I guess all these things I was involved in kept my mind quite healthy and helped me retain my joy when I learned to play guitar.

I guess in a sense I had goals that was not so apparent to me that directed me towards somewhere even if I was quite content being on the road of progress towards guitar land.

Can you learn something from my early guitar experiences? At least you can learn the following:

1. When learning to play guitar always remember to enjoy the act of playing without thinking too much on what you can or cannot do as a guitarist.

2. Try to associate with good musicians and guitarists that inspire you to play musically and that give you the motivation to learn to play new things on your guitar.

3. Beware of playing too fast on your guitar. There is a risk of building up muscle tensions and thereby actually reducing your ability to play fast. A remedy for this and a way to tame yourself is to use a metronome at a low tempo to reduce your speed to a level where you can play your guitar in a relaxed manner.

4. To become an interesting guitarist and musician you might benefit from being involved in other activities like listening to good music, having another hobby, reading good books, assiciate with other people and more.

Do you have to have goals to become a good guitarist? Well, even if you don’t have learn to play guitar goals in the ordinary sense you can help yourself to play everyday by having easy access to your guitar.

I had my guitar on my bed. Maybe you want to have your guitar in your favorite armchair. I guess you understand the principle….

Children, like all of us, need help setting goals that wont run out of track before the end of the journey. The piano journey is no different. There are basically two kinds of goals: Dead goals that simply expire, and Living Goals that never die. What kind of goals do you want your child to reach for? If you want them to achieve living goals youll need to show them how to prepare for the future.

Preparing for the future requires having a plan in place. When it comes to planning, however, most people put the cart before the horse.

If you look at planning for a musical dream, however, the same way you would think about investing in a new business, its easy to see how one could get lost before they ever got started. For example, would you start to grow a new business by focusing on time management instead of a business plan? What difference would it make how you spend your time if you don’t have a plan with goals to guide you? So why encourage your child in piano lessons to focus on target goals that will achieve their musical goals.

There is no excuse for not having a good plan when it comes to helping your child in piano lessons achieve their musical dreams because it’s so easy. Just start by asking three simple questions.

1. Why do you want to learn to play the piano?

2. What will you need to learn to in order to do that?

3. How will you go about accumulating the resources and knowledge you’ll need?

Help your child start making their list and checking if off and by Christmas they’ll be wishing they’d done this sooner.

Oh My Goodness!!!

These three words perfectly express what I think of Brian Culbertson’s seductively titled It’s On Tonight CD.

This CD, although mostly containing songs completely without lyrics, comes extremely close to being explicit. I mean it just drips track after seductive track with some of the most intensely suggestive smooth jazz you’ll ever hear.

It starts off HOT with track 1, Let’s Get Started and only gets hotter.

Track 4, Sensuality, he should have just flat out named Sex. It’s that good.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known guests that have been assembled to play along with Culbertson on several of the tracks. Artists like Boney James, Kirk Whalum and the incomparable Chris Botti just to name a few.

Fans of smooth vocalists will enjoy the contributions made by Will Downing, Patti Austin and Marc Nelson to songs on this CD as well.

If you’re a Brian Culbertson fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Culbertson, or even smooth jazz to know is good. It’s just good music. Period.

The standout tunes are The Way You Feel [track 5, Dreaming of You [track 7, and Secret Affair [track 9. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in Stuck On REpeat is track 4, Sensuality. Wow! Be very careful who you’re in the room with when you press play on this one. Unless of course…

You were warned.
