"Very innovative and user friendly information on your educational site.
I really like what you're offering to students. It is conceptually solid."
UNIVERSAL HARMONY:
Here is a simple thought.
We are blessed
with the greatest musical instrument of all,
that would be ...
"you".
If you can hum it, than you can play it
improvisation can be as simple as a hum
whatever instrument that you choose to play
that hum is just one of many vehicles of expression
this can be done anywhere, anytime, by anyone!
Grace & Peace JD

GEORGE BENSON
VOCALIST - COMPOSER - JAZZ GUITAR
"ON BROADWAY"
Is a great song example of how to think,
sing and play the tones.
As a musician, This should be your goal!
When you are learning a scale,
try to improvise a lead using the scale tones.
Sing the tones in your mind and then,
sing them out loud while playing your lead.
This will greatly improve your ability to
play music!
HARMONY QUOTE!

I am so taken by your
"Major Harmony" offering. It is absolutely brilliant.
I visited your website and interacted with your teaching,
and found the lessons to be very "on the mark",
excuse my humor, but truly informative, "fun" and user
friendly. Bravo on your vision.
As you know, our educational institutions are extremely under
provided for as it relates to music education. This is a wonderful
antidote to the illness of depravity in our schools which effect our
students from Pre-K through 12 and even into the freshman years of
college and universities. I'm a professor at Berklee college of Music
in Boston, Massachusetts, and I witness first hand, how ill-prepared
some of our students are when they enter our institution.

HARMONY:
"It's very important
to have fun when learning to play an instrument, and to read music.
If you don't have fun, you are not going to be doing it for very long!
But, as you get better and better at your instrument,
you are going to want to play fast, and play loud, and play high,..
and that's ok because you will find a place where that is important,
but here is the most important part about music to me:
When I play I want to "move" people inside, make them feel good,
or sad, or happy, or any other emotion. THAT is music.
When I play to try and impress other musicians or
to show how fast or loud or high I can play or sing
without any heart felt emotion involved ,...
no one is moved and it's not really music."

HARMONY:
Learning music
is like learning a new language.
Once you learn it, you can create a great
conversation with sound.
If you learn to sing the notes in your mind
they will come out through your
musical instrument and you can share
your feelings with others.
