Blank Sheet Music
It is not possible to play or sing through memory for musicians who love to play an instrument or love to sing. Sheet music contains musical notes that are written for musicians to interpret.

How to Read Piano Sheet Music Easier by...
Reading piano sheet music is much easier if you can hear the sound before you play it. Developing your musical ear with ear training takes the guesswork out of reading. It will accelerate your reading and increase your enjoyment of playing the piano. Music notes can do one of three things: The notes can stay the same. They can go up. Or they can go down. If the notes stay the same in the sheet music, they will be the same pitch on the piano. If the note goes up by one in the sheet music, it will go up one note on the piano. Sit at your piano and play a note that is comfortably in your singing range. Even if you are not a confident singer, try this out. Play the note and sing it out loud. Now play...

In my previous article I suggested ways to develop a command over the guitar fretboard. Usually when you are playing your first guitar sheet music melodies you will have to learn the notes in the first position on the guitar. To have a good grasp of these notes on the guitar I suggest that you learn them slowly and with concentration. I usually begin by teaching the notes on the first string like E on open string, F on fret 1 and G on fret 3. On string two you'll find B on open string, C on fret 1 and D on fret 3. With these notes you can play the song Mary Had A Little Lamb. Using the previous notes the melody can be played as follows: E D C D E E E - D D D - E G G - E D C D E E E - E D D E D C I...

Christmas Sheet Music - How to Re-harmonize...
Christmas Sheet Music is generally like every other kind of sheet music except for one thing; because of the well-known melodies it is more open to re-harmonization. What does that mean exactly? Well, simply by virtue of the fact that everyone knows the melody it's easier for the piano accompanist to take more harmonic chances. Christmas songs like Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Joy to the World are so entrenched in our consciousness that few people even have to think about the words or the melody. It just comes naturally for most of us, at least in western culture, to sing the lyrics and melodies without any thought at all. That's what makes it all the more fun for pianists who...

How To Improve Piano Sheet Music Sight-Reading
As an organist, I have been working in club land in the North of England for the past 30 years or so and one of the crucial qualifications in this environment is the ability to sight read music on demand. When I say music this can be anything from a beer matt to a ripped piece of paper repaired with selotape and stained with beer. To be fair most of the music is written by professionals and is nice to read but not always easy. As a club organist, you do not get a band call. In fact, you are lucky to get five minutes to scan through between 10 and 15 pieces of music. Some written in different keys and some organist will tell you they hate it when they get a piece of sheet music written in six sharps...

The Early History of Sheet Music in Western...
Sheet music, sometimes called "score," is the hand-written or printed form of musical notation, or the system that represents aurally perceived music via the use of written symbols. The history of musical notation, and therefore of sheet music, is a long one. There are those who hold that the earliest sheet music known is a fragment of a cuneiform tablet from Nippur, an ancient Babylonian city, and dates from approximately 2000 BCE. While this music was written on a clay tablet rather than paper, it still constitutes sheet music because the term "sheet" merely differentiates music on paper from audio presentation. So although the tablet's notations are fragmentary and somewhat simple, it is probably...
Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in...
Many musicians are excellent at picking up their instrument and improvising a wonderful tune, but what happens the next time they want to play the same thing?

Of course, the most basic thing that is needed to get started is the proper paper. Music needs to be written on staff paper, which is fairly easy to find. Notebooks of staff paper are available at any music supply store. It is even possible to print blank sheets of staff paper off of the Internet...

Oliver! The musical first appeared on the stage in the West End in 1960 and achieved immediate success. The British public appreciated the drama and the music in this Lionel Bart production and little known actors introduced in this play, went on to attain enormous popularity as adults. Among them, notably were the young boys playing the title role, and Ron Moody as Fagin and Barry Humphries as Mr. Sowerberry. The musical is a loose version of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel Oliver Twist. To make it more audience friendly, the musical adaptation made several changes and a key change was the portrayal of Fagin as a comic character rather than as the book's villain. The opening scene of Oliver! shows half...

For the last few years, there has been a movement in education away from traditional subjects to a more interdisciplinary approach. The basic idea is to apply more than one discipline simultaneously. There is no doubt that cross-curricular approaches to education can be very effective when properly applied. When our local school district moved this direction with communication arts, my first thought was to find a way to incorporate reading and writing into my daily routine without interrupting my normal educational process of rehearsing music. Halting this process to read a book or write a narrative seemed like a waste of our valuable rehearsal time. My discomfort toward this issue led me to this...

You have got to love soap operas. From the intricate plots and finely woven webs of deceit, to the depths of schemes, they were, are and always will be classics. They are timeless. I wrote this article as my take on them back in 1970 when filling white space for our high school paper. Watch a few soap operas for the next few days and see for yourself how closely they resemble soap operas 36 years ago... And now for that thought provoking question that plagues men's souls unceasingly through the bright shining of the day and through the untold dark depths of the night: Why did Peter, who in reality is actually Superman, fake that he stubbed his toe on the 17th stone on the sidewalk starting at 4th...
Learning Spanish while watching Spanish soap operas might not be the most traditional or conventional method of learning a language but it's still an alternative option none the less. Most TVs have the option to use closed captioning and many of them now have several different languages to choose from. While immersion, online interactive software, and the classroom are probably going to be more efficient you can still get a general idea from watching and translating Spanish soap operas. The reason this works so good is because there might be dozens of soap operas but they are all basically the same. This means that following along with the story is the stereotypical he's sleeping with her and she's...

The Greatest Movie Musicals Ever
With "Dreamgirls" and "Happy Feet", it seems that movie musicals are back in favour. But then, that's what we all thought a few years ago when "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" were doing so well. No matter. For those who want to see more of the genre, let's present a (truly subjective) list of the five greatest-ever movie musicals... 1. "Singin' in the Rain" Yes, it's a predictable choice, like saying that "Citizen Kane" is the best film ever. But "Singin' in the Rain" has not only a great selection of songs, but a terrific story (rare for musicals), fine performances and a general feeling of joy. Quite simply, everything came together perfectly to create a masterpiece. BEST NUMBER: Either Gene Kelly's...
Relief From Anxiety - Breathe Like An Opera Singer
We all feel waves of apprehension and anxiety gathering around us from time to time. It can appear in specific situations where we have been fearful in the past. Many of us become anxious at large social events or even small gatherings with strangers. Many individuals are claustrophobic, feeling trapped in a confined space. When we hear the final thud of the heavy airplane door being closed and know that we must remain in our seats during takeoff, a shudder of fear runs down our spines, lifts the fine hairs on the nape of our necks, and accelerates our heart rhythms. Anxiety can be unpredictable, its source as mysterious as the synapses firing in our brains in a single moment. Anxiety, like...

Lloyd Webber mega-musicals are all well and good, but very little beats the guilty pleasure of a jukebox musical like Mamma Mia! We Will Rock You or Jersey Boys. These are the shows that people travel to London theatres from miles away to see as part of London theatre break. Since it seems to be en vogue to make jukebox musicals at the moment, we thought we'd share the four bands that we think should have their own jukebox musical in the West End as soon as possible. 1) Happy Mondays They're perhaps not the first group that you'd think of when considering candidates for a West End musical, but Happy Mondays' distinctive sound could actually translate to the stage rather well. Imagine if you will...

The literal or etymological meaning of the word 'opera' in Italian is 'work' (from its plural 'opus' meaning 'labor' or 'work'). If we wish to inquire about the origin of opera, we will only learn that it had no particular source, it has rather evolved with time. Initially it was performed in courts, and later moved on to public performances. The country where it first originated was of course Italy, as the literal meaning suggests. The first accepted composition of the opera is "Daphne'. It was said to be the first performance of the opera composition in 1598 during a carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi, in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. Italy was a great music talent and enjoyed great...

The History of Opera Glasses and Theater...
Like many inventions, Opera Glasses came into existence as a result of a long line of inventions, and further improvements upon those inventions.
