Archtop guitars offer an element of style and tradition that leaves many guitarists longing for their very own. But for flattop-oriented players who cannot afford a guitar to accomodate each and every impulse, they may be unrealistic from a tonal and economic perspective. Despite the fact that archtops have been around ever since the 1890s when Gibson pioneered the structure and were made popular by early jazz and country greats such as Eddie Lang and Mother Maybelle Carter, the real acoustic archtop has had much less impact than its flattop cousins. There has been a wide range of highly regarded archtop luthiers over the years, including John D’Angelico, Jimmy D’Aquisto, and Bob Benedetto. And a point in time through the 1950s and early 1960s saw companies like Gretsch, Harmony, National, and Guild manufacture some prosaic but reasonably-priced instruments. In general, however, the acoustic archtop’s very high price level and dry, barky tonal signature have made them a luxury or novelty instrument beyond a small coterie of devotees.
We were born with rhythm. After all, rhythm is a natural occurrence. Even people who don’t play music commonly can be found tapping away at their desk, or on the subway, maintaining some kind of beat. For those ambitious rhythm keepers, a drum kit is a paradise! Here are a couple things to keep in mind before buying your kit.
Learning music is amongst the most fun and rewarding ways a child can learn how hard work pays off. How many adults in conversation admit to regretting never taking up an instrument as a child? Who can look at a piano, a guitar, or some other instrument and honestly say “I’m glad I don’t play that”? While the parent’s dreams shouldn’t be hoisted onto their children, most kids love to play music, and even if there is some resistance at first to practicing it’s common for this to diminish as they become accustomed to the instrument and begin to partake in the joys of music.
Piano lessons are the most common way to enter the world of music, and people have been learning this instrument for centuries for good reason. It’s fun, and with all the notes chronologically arranged, it’s easiest to learn music on. It is easier to move onto another instrument after playing piano.
In a world where digital is replacing everything in its path, it should come as no surprise that drums, the oldest instrument on earth, now has an electronic counterpart. Fortunately, advances have made these drums of today much improved over the first ones to come out. While they’ll never replace traditional drum kits, they don’t have to, and they offer some serious advantages that can’t be obtained any other way.
It is a FACT that practice technique will absolutely affect how quickly you learn a piece. With music being my life for the past decade or so as a composer for TV and film, music producer, professional keyboardist and piano teacher, I’ve learned how to practice efficiently and effectively. As a coordinator of my own music school which provides Los Angeles and Orange County piano lessons, voice lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons and other music lessons, I’ve also taught these practices to many students and teachers as well. Here are some tips that are guaranteed to streamline your practice of any instrument.
Although many parents will cringe at the thought of a child bringing home a drum set, the drums are a crucial instrument in every genre of music. Once you sign up for drum lessons and learn that the drums are far more than banging and making noise, it may be an instrument you’ll want to play for years to come. Whether you want to bang away on solos in your garage or be the backbone of an entire band, choosing the right set of drums for you is an important decision.
