GCSE Bitesize: The concerto in the Baroque period (roughly 1600-1750) 10 Amazing and Stunning Piano Pieces The Arts The piano has clearly been a wildly popular instrument ever since its first introduction to the music scene, as both a solo instrument and an accompaniment. Its instant popularity led to a massive influx of solo piano pieces being written – some a violent explosion of color and motion, others a slow, melodic meditation. Yet while I’m sure many of you are familiar with hundreds of beautiful, instantly recognizable pieces, this is a list of ten pieces which rival even the most famous pieces in beauty, yet have slipped under the radar. Frederic Chopin Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31 This is probably one of the most famous pieces on the list – and hence I will put it first – however you might not have known it by name. Philip Glass Metamorphosis Philip Glass has been an extremely influential composer in late 20th Century music, yet very few people can name a single piece by him. Franz Liszt Piano Sonata in B. Liszt is a Romantic composer that is (and most certainly was) revered around the world.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - The Lion Sleeps Tonight 64 Things Every Geek Should Know - laptoplogic.com The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question. If you’re that type of person and are looking for a few extra skills to pick up, or if you’re a newbie aiming to get a handhold on the honor that is geekhood, read on to find out what skills you need to know. 1.

Advice for Pianists: How to Compose Piano Music In my 25 years of writing piano music, I've arranged over 180 compositions, about 160 of which I've released to the public on CD. A fan who read my advice for pianists article asked if I'd write a similar article for beginning composers. So, I've put together these 12 composition tips for anyone who would like to compose music for the piano. 1) Start With the Melody You don't have to come to the piano with an entire song already in your head before you start composing. 2) What is Your Song About? As you develop your overall melody, think about the emotion or image you want your composition to convey. 3) To Intro or Not to Intro? It is sometimes tempting to write a long introduction (something I'm guilty of) to 'set the mood' for your composition. 4) The Anti-Melody Song? Some compositions are just 'mood' pieces. 5) Follow the Muse t's not uncommon to find that while you're developing a composition, you find yourself taken into an entirely new musical direction. 6) Repeat with Style

Year 8 - beat boxing is very difficult, but some people have natural and rhythmical talent. We are going to be looking at African music and you might see some similarities in the way that voices and instruments can be used to communicate. I reckon all of you can now imitate a drum and cymbal with your voices. by misshalkyard Sep 18

Year 9 - Abbie I like how you have quoted a song to illustrate what you mean. You have all caught on the the fact that Eminem needed to be motivated to write his lyrics, and I have often said that he needs a cup of tea and a chocolate hobnob because he is very angry. It's interesting that although his lyrics contain foul language, that it is his art and he doesn't swear around the house. SO!!! What motivates all of you? And how can this inspire your lyric or music writing? by misshalkyard Sep 18
