Can background music make you smarter?
The more you can concentrate with background noise, the more it strengthens the brain. Isaac Asimov used to set his typewriter up [...]

Loading ...I love and miss you both.
You were the king of clowns, my fetid friend. You were conniving and devious. I know you would have been the perfect partner for a heist and I wish we had the chance to drink together. I want to see your crooked stagger again. I’ll miss you living in my sock drawer. God bless you.

My saxophone teacher at the University Of Pittsburgh, Dr. Nathan Davis, developed a series of exercises he called, “The Holy Six.” Each exercise has a practical musical application and also builds fundamental technique.
Holy Six #1 is a series of major arpeggios weaving up and down a half step at a time. For variation, try different [...]

Hammond organ, wurly, and clav in Amin over a 105bpm Apple loop.
Musiclens lets you search for music using vague criteria like how loud it is or its tempo and mood. Pretty spiffy flash interface as well.
Musiclens is different from Song Tapper and maybe not as good for finding the title of a song. But it shines if you use it to discover new music. I especially [...]
A practice schedule is an important part of your musical development.
