Par GRIFFIN MICHAEL. When it comes to musical skill, why is it that some people achieve so much more than others? We are frequently led to believe this is because of a talent hardwired into their DNA. Now, music educator Michael Griffin dismisses that age-old notion in favour of another known factor: practice. His new book, Learning Strategies for Musical Success illustrates how the quantity and q…

Par SUZUKI EIJI. Following a successful appearance at a national competition a leading Japanese concert band commissioned the composition of this new work.

It symbolises both the joy felt following the success a…

Inthe intervening period the composer had made considerable changes to the score, enough that the result qualifies as a “second ver…

Arr. Lorenzo Bocci. Par MC COY VAN. In 1975, a new dance form took the Latin-Amercan areas of the Bronx by storm. After observing the frenzy of the dancers in that area, Van McCoy composed a melody that successfully took its basis from Latin and R&B. The Hustle was an instant success and made a large contribution to the evolution of disco music in the 1970's. Your band will not be able to resist t…

After successfully effecting one of the greatest pop comebacks in history, boy band-turned-credible vocal group Take That release their fifth studio album, the second after their return. Led, as ever, by the song writing talents of Gary Barlow, this release is similarly epic and romantic to its predecessor (2006's Beautiful World , with songs such as What Is Love, How Did It Come To This and the s…
