Musical U – Helping To Redress The Balance In Musical Aural Training

musical-u

 

One of the great benefits of the Internet in these days of constricting budgets in music education establishments and poor musical provision within schools is the advent of courses online. None more so than the provision offered by online company Musical-U.com.

Musical-U is an established and highly talked about website which offers musicians from all walks of life and musical backgrounds courses in musical aural training. For many musicians, aural training is something that gets forgotten about. This is a real tragedy as being able to hear, identify and externalise the musical ideas heard away from the instrument is the life blood of creativity that all musicians need.

Musical-U CEO Christopher Sutton discusses the ideas and the eventual realisation of Musical-U and how it is changing the way people perceive and ultimately hear and relate to music for thousands across the world.

Is The Guitar Losing It’s Mojo A Question Worth Asking?

This month we ran an article which built on the Washington post’s recent column on falling guitar sales. The piece looked at the initial Washington post article all about the death of the electric guitar and the response online from various commentators, vloggers etc. With this in mind, we thought we’d look at the new ideas around the guitar and technology. What we found are ideas that are melding Guitar Hero concepts to mainstream guitar playing and we ask Is The Guitar Losing It’s Mojo?
