A War Memorial In Song

Almost ten years ago, pianist Peter Dugan and baritone John Brancy met up at the Julliard School’s library, picked out some music and snuck into a dance studio to try out a few songs together. Little did they know that those sessions would be the beginning of an essential artistic collaboration. — May 29, 2017 Fast forward ten years and the duo is in the midst of one of the most important projects of their creative lives. On April 28, […]

Why Listening To Sad Music Can Be Good For You

A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports found a link between crying to music and feeling pleasure. — May 24, 2017 If you deal with sadness by belting along to Adele and crying it out, you’re not the only one — and it might be beneficial for your health. It may seem counterproductive to listen to sad music when you’re feeling down, but new research shows that there’s a scientific reason for why we love crying to our […]

Are Music And Happiness Linked?

A new study shows a correlation between happiness and the enjoyment of music. Why? There could be many reasons… — May 22, 2017 A new study out of Australia confirms what we probably already knew: People who dance and go to concerts regularly are pretty happy. While it may seem obvious, comparing happiness and the enjoyment of music can tell us a lot about how music affects us psychologically. Researchers at Deakin University in Victoria analyzed 1,000 interviews with randomly […]

Research: Music That Heals

Emerging research in music therapy has found that the right music can improve medical outcomes for patients. — May 19, 2017 Ruth Stanley, a former Benedictine nun from Minnesota, has been in the vanguard of the new research, and last weekend she led a workshop at the Monastery of Immaculate Conception to help participants find music to heal them. “The power of our music is the power of the human voice,” Stanley said. “There’s great sacredness in that.” In ancient […]

Music Can Drive Up Sales In Restaurants

The right music in a restaurant can make you linger for dessert. The wrong kind will make you leave. — May 16, 2017 Restaurants agonize constantly over ways to eke the most money out of their customers. Dimming lights, deploying seasonal menus, and up-selling (more famously known as “Do you want fries with that?”) are all psychological tricks that many employ—and new research suggests there is another potent strategy to add to the mix. Soundtrack Your Brand, a Spotify-backed music-streaming startup, […]

The 7 Most Controversial Dance Fads In Music

The truth is that there’s barely been a moment in history when a new dance hasn’t appalled parents, dramatically widened the generation gap and shocked newspaper editors. Here are seven crazes that caused a genuine fuss. — May 15, 2017 1. Twerking The Oxford English Dictionary defines twerk as a “dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance.” As an example of how the word is used, it suggests: “Just […]

Digital Music Tools Are Reshaping Music Education

YouTube, digital sheet music and apps have long been popular; augmented and virtual reality are likely to further reshape music learning. — May 9, 2017 One of the biggest challenges to traditional music learning is the need for practice. Students must play scales, chords and patterns over and over in hopes of developing muscle memory; for many, it is a daunting and tedious task. Research has shown that individual practice is often not productive because learners receive limited feedback and […]

The Best Musical Themes From All The Star Wars Films

John Williams has written hours and hours of music for the Star Wars movies. But which individual bits are the best? We’ve decided! — May 4, 2017 These are inarguably the best musical themes from all the Star Wars films: Finn’s Confession “I’m a stormtrooper. Like all of them, I was taken from a family I’ll never know and was raised to do one thing.” With those words, John Boyega’s Finn sets out his emotional stall in The Force Awakens […]

How Brands Are Betting On Music With Help From Pro Playlist Curators

“When I walk into a retail establishment, there’s no guarantee I’m going to see the end cap displays or the way a particular line of shirts has been folded. But what I can be certain of is, I’m going to hear what’s happening.” — May 2, 2017 You might not know where, you might not know when, but chances are you’ve heard a playlist that Danny Turner and his team of music designers put together.

I love how Marcos lets me learn so many songs, not just one! I like how he gives me compliments. It’s really fun when Marcos does the bass clef with the left hand and I get to make up my own song that goes with it for a warm up. It’s fun because I get to make up my own songs. I love the sound of the piano!

I really like that we get to pick what songs we want to learn in Marcos’s guitar class. I also love that he is compassionate and lets us progress at our own pace. Marcos knows EVERYTHING about instruments, and I’m glad he can share some of it with me. I’m glad that I get to learn how to read, write, and play music for the guitar. It is a lot of fun when Marcos and I play the guitar together!
