How to Write a Song Without an Instrument

No guitar? No piano? No problem.   You don’t need a full studio setup, a fancy keyboard, or even a single string to start writing songs. In fact, some of the world’s greatest music began as a melody hummed into a phone or a beat tapped on a school desk. Whether you’re just starting out or don’t have access to your usual gear, you can still tap into your creativity — no instruments required.   -Wednesday, June 11th   Start […]

Can Music Be Addictive? The Neurochemistry of Music and Dopamine

Music is a universal language. It has the ability to make us feel happy, sad, energized, or calm—often all at once. Whether it’s a song we can’t stop playing or a melody that gives us chills, music seems to have a powerful grip on us. But can music really be addictive? To explore this, we need to dive into the brain’s reward system and understand how certain sounds, rhythms, and harmonies impact our neurochemistry. -Friday, May 30 The Brain’s Reward […]

7 Places Where Music Is Made Naturally

Discover how nature creates its own music through caves, forests, rivers, and more. We often think of music as something made by people, with instruments crafted from wood, metal, or strings. But what if music has always existed in the natural world, just waiting to be discovered? Nature itself is full of incredible, organic sounds that, when harnessed, can create some of the most mesmerizing music. Whether it’s the echoes of a cave, the rhythmic sounds of a forest, or […]

 Do You Really Need Talent to Be a Musician?

Every time someone hears a guitarist shred a solo, a pianist nail a difficult piece, or a vocalist hit the perfect note, there’s a phrase that comes out like clockwork: Wow… they’re so talented. It sounds like a compliment — and it is — but it also hides a dangerous myth. It feeds the idea that musicians are simply “born” with talent, as if some people are just wired to play better, sing better, or learn faster… and the rest […]

Can Music Change the Flavor of Food? 

Because sometimes your ears can change what your tongue tastes. Picture this: you’re at a fancy dinner. The lights are low, candles flickering, and a delicate dessert is placed in front of you. A smooth jazz tune plays softly in the background. You take a bite — perfection. Now imagine eating that same dessert… while blasting industrial metal. Tastes different, right? That’s not your imagination. Music can actually affect how food tastes. And it’s not just about the vibe or […]

Why Live Music Feels So Different from Recordings

Listening to your favorite song through headphones or speakers can certainly evoke emotions, but there’s something completely unique about experiencing that same music live. The energy, the unpredictability, the crowd, and the artist’s connection with the audience all come together to create an emotional experience that is difficult to replicate through a recording. Live music feels different not only because of the auditory qualities but because of the psychological, physical, and social factors  that make it an unforgettable, dynamic experience. […]

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!
