Bond With Music
Vienna is the music capital of the world. No other city evokes such immediate associations with the great classical composers and the king of waltz. The House of Music was opened in the First District, in 2000 as a museum of the 21st century. The building is a former Habsburg palace where Otto Nicolai, founder of the Vienna Philharmonic, once lived. The creative concept of the museum combines futuristic new media applications with a strong didactic element. Here visitors can learn how a musical instrument works and can try composition, conducting and playing. A big attraction is the virtual orchestra where anyone can take a baton and conduct the Vienna Phil on a large screen with the score of the Blue Danube or Radetzky March. If successful the orchestra will reward the newcomer with applause but if the tempo is wrong the players down instruments with cries of disapproval.
Who Are The Top Ten Music Artists In The UK For 2010?
We thought we would take a little look around the internet to find the top ten artists from the music industry of all time. This proved quite difficult as there are so many different sources and opinions. As a result we decided to set our sights a little lower and narrowed our search to the UK only. Below you will find our results. There are some surprises in there so enjoy what you see.
The Beatles
I don’t suppose the Beatles will surprise anybody but yes our Liverpool friends top the chart with a whopping 28,000,000 certified sales. You may think that that sounds great but we also believe that they are the top in the world with worldwide sales topping 346,000,000 sales. These figures are just unbelievable but not UN just as they continue to sell music even today.

Piano Lessons – Kids Do NOT Learn Music Faster Than Adults
Let’s do some myth-busting, because this is my favorite myth to bust as a career piano teacher. Ready…?
The popular notion that kids learn music faster than adults is… completely false! It’s categorically untrue. Where it has come from over the years is a piece of neuroscience being erroneously applied to a situation in which it has no basis.
What this means is children between the ages of two and six years old have an advantage learning a particular skill called absolute pitch. That means they learn to identify a musical pitch by letter name solely through hearing it, with no reference note given for comparison. They learn to hear and identify a particular sound in the sonority of the pitch and can forever automatically identify that pitch by it’s name with certainty. This is something that about two percent of the general population is born with the ability to do, however, if one is not a trained musician, then no one knows that the ability is there in a person. It is an advantageous ability for musicians to have, yet it is not a hinderance to lack this ability. Additionally, about 85% of professional string players develop this ability just in the course of learning their instrument.

New Vinyl Website Focuses on the Social Elements of Records and Music
Well, we made it. The vinyl record revival is in full swing. With many independent artists issuing new releases via the format and many mainstream artists following suit, it is a great place in music history. Add to this the numerous reissues of classic LP’s and the vinyl comeback is complete.
Along with the vinyl revival are new Internet web sites that cater to collectors and music lovers. One such site that has just launched is www.NYLVI.com, is social marketplace that will support independent artists, labels and record stores and will aid in the spreading of musical innovation to the global community of music lovers and record collectors.
I spoke with NYLVI co-founder Ivar Lien about the goals, ideals and values of this new, growing vinyl record community:
There are many vinyl sites on the Internet today, what will set yours apart from the others- what will make you unique?
A Brief History Of The Modern Piano In Society
The modern piano developed its form from two keyboard instruments, the clavichord and the harpsichord, which originated from early in music history. These keyboard instruments operate on the principle of direct connection between the applied force or pressure of the player on the keys, and the volume of sound. Meaning, the harder the pressure or force the player applies on the keys, the louder the sound of the instrument, the lighter the touch, the softer the sound.
Earlier musicians, however, encountered a problem with the clavichord and harpsichord: the sound was relatively diminutive as compared to how they would have wanted it to be, considering the fact that keyboard instruments were often played in large rooms (chambers), cathedrals and churches.
Around the year 1700, Italian instrument maker Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) created the new keyboard instrument and coined its name from the fact that it could both play “piano” (soft) and “forte” (loud), addressing the problem of the old keyboard instruments. Thus, the pianoforte, or what we call shortly now as the piano.
What your Music Profile Should Say About you
Your online music profile is the bottom-line essential information on WHO you are as a band, singer, songwriter and/or musician. Your profile, as to how it fits in the big picture at Artistopia, an artist development site for indie and unsigned artists, is your biography or resume that presents you to the music industry, other musicians, and your potential fans. That makes it a very important page on the Internet, right? It needs to be interesting, well-written, informative and to-the-point, for this is you marketing yourself. When writing this document, there is much to consider to make it presentable.
Consider these scenarios:
1. An A&R rep is listening to your music on an indie radio webcast and thinks, “who is that?!” So they click on your name to learn more about you. Your music brought them to your profile. Will they be impressed by what they read?

70s Soul Music The Sound of Experience
Many people sometimes wonder why so many (but not all) of the world’s most significant musicians and singers have gotten their start in the United States. It’s not just that the U.S. culture can be said to glorify entertainment and celebrity over everything else, and it’s not just because everyone wants to be an American. Many music history experts find that so much music comes from the U.S. simply because it is a diverse country, and because its people represent a plethora of significant life experiences that can’t be matched by any other nation’s population. The entire genre of 70′s soul music can be credited as an expression of the experiences of black Americans.

Everyone loves to play games and it is the favorite pastime for kids. There cannot be anything better than bringing together music with games. It has been seen that music students, the kids especially get really bored after sometime when they have to learn all that boring fundamental, and music history. Learning history and theory books are never an interesting thing. However, teachers need to ensure that the interest of the students remain intact. To do so, you can take the help of the music games.

Country Music’s Earliest Pioneers
Country Music as we know it has been around for decades, with the 1920′s seen as the ‘era’ of Country; with thousands of faces, some well-known, some fading into obscurity lining the Hall of Fame, who are the important figureheads in the history of Country Music? Who pioneered it, we know and love today? Here are some of the founders:
A.C Robertson
Alexander (known as Eck) Robertson recorded the first commercial Country Music song in 1922! He was born in 1887 and lived in Texas, growing up learning to play the fiddle, he eventually found himself with a recording contract. In 1922 Eck recorded the now famous track “Sally Gooden.” It never made it big, and it didn’t sell many copies, but he began the industry we know today.
As the first ever recorded artist, Eck Robertson certainly deserves to be considered a pioneer.
