Bull; Discover • Learn • Play. Piano and Guitar Lessons. I began taking piano lessons from Fred Kane in February, 2007. I was then 55 years old and had not played the piano since I was eight years old when I took lessons for a year. I had forgotten whatever small amount I had learned forty-seven years before. It Had to be You. I can now play them all the way through based on an arrangement that Fred provided. Because these two songs are not for. Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Fred is one of the most talent...

Thursday, May 17, 2012. Antonio Carlos Jobim - Creator of the "Bossa nova". Music can noble hints impart, Engender fury, kindle love, With unsuspected eloquence can move, And manage all the man with secret art. Joseph Addison. How can one - who created a simple rhythmic structure and repeat it over and over again become one of the greatest composers of the 20th century? Attempted synthesis for the "Transitioning Vocalist" class at The JazzSchool, Berkeley, Ca. Links to this post. View my complete profile.

http://ramyashankar.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

Friday, September 21, 2012. Kids and Practicing Scales. From the time I can remember, back as a kid (which is in the early 90's), a question always popped up in my mind during my vocal practice routine - Do I 'have' to practice scales? As a kid, music classes were always fun for me. It was the highlight of my day/week. At the same time, I saw a lot of my peers dropping out of music lessons to be able to do something more "fun". I couldn't understand why it was considered "boring" for others? I strongly b...

nAda: April 2010

http://ramyashankar.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 17, 2010. What does your day consist of? I struggle with emotions and thoughts and don’t know what to do with them. I want to just stop and not even think, I just want to feel. Feel everything around me, and indulge. This inspired me to write this song. If it is something that makes you “feel”, note that it is special. Don’t forget to enjoy it. When was the last time you could afford to drop everything and just be? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

http://ramyashankar.blogspot.com/2012/11/desafinado-aayirathil-naan-oruvan-where.html

Monday, November 19, 2012. Desafinado / Aayirathil Naan Oruvan - where Portuguese meets Tamil. Elis Regina - Desafinado .mp3. Found at bee mp3 search engine. And now, listen to the masterpiece "Ayirathil Naan Oruvan" by the great south Indian composer A.R.Rahman. The bassline of Desafinado is intact :-) But the melody that follows is so alluring that the charm remains even after 15 years of listening. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, January 23, 2012. Where skill and emotion combine. At times, we hear music that is technically brilliant. It is so beyond technical reach, that we are in awe. Fingers cannot move any faster on a guitar/violin, the pitch cannot get higher with a voice, the vocal range is absolutely mind boggling and seems impossible. It is not even human. But it does not touch us. One person who can do all of this and yet stir emotions with his music is L.Shankar. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Links to this post.

Saturday, December 26, 2009. Record labels: the necessary evil, not any more (? The one thing that most musicians share (apart from the passion for music of course) is a bit of "fear" of the future. Where will my music go from here? Will people continue to listen to it? Will I be able to live on just a career in music? For a budding unsigned musician , the goal is - How can I make my music heard? Research shows some nice companies like Weathervanemusic. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
