Introduction

Music has become even more portable within the last 25 years. First we had the Cassette Walkman, which served us well until the portable CD player came along in the 1990's. Then came Mini Disc, which had a short but very useful life. Now we have entered the Millennium and the format of digital music compressed into a very small space is now a reality.

Since 2003/4 a flood of MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) music players have arrived from the far east, where these things fly out of stores as fast as manufacturers can make them. These small, stick-like players are no bigger than your thumb, however, their solid state memory can hold up to 120 minutes of MP3 tracks or up to 240 minutes of WMA (Windows Media Audio) tracks.

These players, instantly work with Windows ME/2000/XP (drivers are needed for
98/98SE). The Drivers can either come supplied as a CD-Rom or can be downloaded from your MP3 player's manufacturer's site. All you need to do is just plug the player into your PC with the cable provided, or just plug directly into your PC.
Then just drag and drop the music files you want directly into the music player's folder. These players can also be used as portable storage devices, further increasing their value. Some even have built-in FM Radios and voice recording facilities.

Learn How You Can Now... Enjoy Playing the Piano!


Dear Friend,

Why is learning to play the piano such a chore? It seems that people who take lessons work and work but take years to discover to play anything interesting or enjoyable. They are always unhappy about their lessons. People who take lessons sometimes even hate their teachers because they feel ashamed of their playing. The teacher may or may not intentionally make the student feel bad, but the fact remains that you lose interest if you never feel any satisfaction.

Teachers also alienate their students by asking them to play music that is either too hard or worse yet, too easy. Without a challenge, there is little point in trying to discover anything. Teachers might pile on too much work for the student to practice on at home, or not give the student a clue as to what to work on. Finding a good teacher can be extremely difficult.

Trying to discover on your own can be just as frustrating if you do not have the right guidance. You can search the internet infinitely and find all kinds of information on piano theory. Most of it you will not even understand. It is often in difficult language and assumes that you know quite a bit about music already. You also have to deal with conflicting theories. Sure, there

A Brief History of the Guitar
To say where a lute - or any of the other dozens of similar instruments - leaves off and the guitar begins is an impossible exercise. Guitar-like instruments have been uncovered in archaeological digs and documents as far back as Ancient Egypt and Babylonia almost 4,000 years ago.
But these bear only a general resemblance to our modern instrument. The length of the neck is shorter, the body smaller and the number of
