Piano For All - Learn How To Play Piano

By Chris Jensen

There are different ways to learn how to play the piano. With the hype of new technology, you can choose to learn how to play the piano online. You can also choose to learn it the traditional way - by ear.

Some might say that it is difficult to learn how to play the piano by ear. Indeed, it can be quite a challenge in the first few stages but as you practice more and progress into the next stages, you will find that the learning process becomes easier.

In learning how to play the piano by ear, you will need to work on melody. You can start by thinking of a song that you believe has a simple melody. Try picking out the notes in the melody then try playing them on a piano. To help you in this process, try to recognize intervals in the melody or the distance between two notes in the melody. Being able to easily determine intervals can help you in picking out a melody easily.

After you have learned about picking out the melody, you can try to start picking out chords. You will need this in harmonizing the melody with the chords. As a review, a chord is a combination of at least three notes that are played all at the same time. Beginners will typically learn three chords at a time, based on the first, fourth, and fifth notes of any scale in any key. As an example, the three basic chords in the C major key are C, F, and G. When taken together, these three chords include all the notes in the key of C.

You will also need to learn more about chord voicing. This refers to playing a chord in positions other than the root. For example, you will not always have to play the chord F in the order F-A-C. You can play it as A-C-F or C-F-A. Changing the position by which you play a chord will give it a different voicing.

Learning how to play the piano by ear will always involve melody, chords, and chord voicing. It is therefore important to keep these three things in mind as you try to learn how to play the piano in the traditional way. - 18423

From their roots as a local California band with a small following, they've become a mega band playing the globe and probably the most influential punk band in existence over the past two decades.

Original formed under the name Sweet Children in 1987, the played local shows in California, immersing themselves in the punk scene before signing with Lookout! Records. Their first EP, titles "1,000 Hours" was released by Lookout!. They also decided to start appearing under the new name, Green Day to create separation between themselves and another band with a similar name to Sweet Children. Now, Green Day has released eight studio albums and sold over twenty-two million records, just in the United States.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool have achieved what many small local bands starting out dream of - rockstar status, a huge fan base and the chance to spread their music and rock hard.

Michael [ WACKO] Jackson's Monthly Expenses.......

By James Ziebarth

If you are reading FoxNews.com then you have seen that Michael Jackson's monthly expenses while living and up keeping the Neverland Ranch, was costing the celeb almost $2.5 million a month to maintain. All of this for a mansion, some carnival rides, and a zoo? I "can see" where he was coming from...NOT!!!!

The featured article from FoxNews.com reported "Michael Jackson left behind $400 million worth of debt". Many are asking how Michael Jackson could run up such debt? He owned a long list of valuable items. He owned the Beatles music collection. He was still receiving royalties from "Thriller". Yet, he still managed to run up $400 million in debt.

Michael Jackson own shopping habits were a problem. FoxNews.com reported finding 75 cars registered under his name. Many celebrities love cars; however, many celebrities are also still working. Michael Jackson had not put out a significant piece of music since 1997.

It has been reported that Michael Jackson's household expenses totaled over $300,000. Documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court detailed spending of $95,700 on gardening, security costs of $51,900, zoo/amusement park upkeep of $66,200, and housekeeping/PR expenses of $60,200. That is just Michael Jackson's housekeeping expenses.

Michael's personal expenses were just as astonishing. Property/personal insurance cost him $120,000. Gifts alone cost him $42,600. Medical needs also took a large chunk of money ($25,600). He did skimp when it came to entertainment, spending only $100 a month. Michael Jackson reportedly spent $475,200 on MJJ Productions and Optimum Productions. Curious, since he had not released a major piece of work since 1997. Monetary figures were used from FoxNews.com.

Overall, it would cost $2,339,300 to live the life of Michael Jackson for just one month. And that would likely put anyone in debt."

While my degree in Accounting is yet to be official, I can still add and subtract. Almost $30 million a year just up keeping the Neverland Ranch? Are you serious? This does not even include his other guilty pleasures. Plastic surgery, anesthesia, narcotic pain pills, underage slumber parties, and the cost of lawyers to fight off "child molestation charges." When you start racking up more bills then your total combined income, you will eventually find yourself in debt. I think Suze Orman would agree with me on this.

So, R.I.P. MJ, and stay away from the "Little Angels. - 18423

9/9/9: The Holidays Come Early For Beatles Fans

By Jamie T. Winston

The Holidays come early for Beatles fanatics this year. September 9th is the day when the new remastered Beatles CDs finally come out after wait of 22 years.

The Beatles first released their albums on CD in 1987 when CD technology was still quite new. The mastering done for those CD is considered to be of inferior quality, which is why Beatles fans have been impatiently waiting for these new remastered CDs.

The remastered CDs are not the only Beatles stuff coming out on 9/9/9, there's also the original mono mixes of their albums through 1968's The White Album being released on CD.

These new mono mix CDs will be the first time that many younger Beatles fans get to hear these albums as they were originally intended to be heard because it's the first time that the mono mixes have ever been on CD.

The mono mixes interest people today because some think of them as the "real" versions of these albums. So even though mono is now an outdated way of mixing, there is reason to want to hear these mixes today.

The mono mixes are what The Beatles (along with the bands producers and engineers) were mainly focused on. The stereo mixes were done as an after thought with little (if any) input from the band, while the mono mixes were worked on until they were considered to be perfect.

Because so much more time was spent on the mono versions, it makes sense to consider the mono mixes to be the "real" versions of the albums. But it's not just a matter of original intention. It's also a matter of quality. Some claim that the mono mixes of albums such as Revolver & Sgt. Pepper are actually far superior to the stereo mixes.

9/9/9 is more than just a day for new Beatles CDs, it's also a day for new Beatles themed video game: Beatles Rock Band. This game will allow you to "play" and Beatles classics through their beginnings in Liverpool through their finally studio album, Abbey Road. And yes Abbey Road was their last album, Let It Be was recorded before Abbey Road!

The "instruments" for the game even look like the real Beatles instruments (check out Ringo's drums!) This will the first Rock Band game which allows for harmony singing (with three microphones you can actually do three part harmonies!) - 18423
