A wise man once said. "...if you're not learning -
you're not growing. And if you're not growing you're dying."
There's a lot of truth in that little phrase. I can't speak for you but
I want to be in the learning, growing, and living group!
That's what my artistic expression is all about. I don't believe for a
minute that I've arrived, intellectually, artistically, or otherwise.
Quite the contrary, each day I'm presented with new challenges to
overcome, new boundaries to cross, and new ideas to express.
This website is a record of MY JOURNEY. I hope you will
find it interesting but most of all, I hope you will be able to tell
that I'm making progress toward my goals; learning, growing, and living.
Thanks for coming by,
Every musician, performer, music teacher and student
should have a copy of a thorough and understandable music dictionary
within reach. I can honestly say after 40+ years involved in some type
of music learning, teaching, and performing that this resource has been
and continues to be one of my most valuable assets. You can pick one
up at Amazon.com for less than $10 so there's really no excuse not to
have one. Here's a couple of my favorites to consider...
The Essential Dictionary of
Music
Definitions, Composers, Theory, Instrument & Vocal Ranges
Billed as the most practical and useful music
dictionary for students and professionals, this
single-volume paperback edition by Lindsey C. Harnsberger is
both readable and complete. Amazon has this book priced at
$5.95 [new] so it's definitely got a lot of bang for your
buck. It's also available for instant digital download.
The Hal Leonard Pocket
Music Dictionary
This handy pocket
paperback is conveniently divided into three main sections:
a dictionary of music terms, a dictionary of musicians, and
a reference chart of instrumental and vocal ranges, notation
signs and symbols, and scales, modes and key signatures.
Amazon prices this at $7.99 [new] so once again it's
affordable for tight budgets (and who's isn't?).
