Introduction
The Musician's Corner is a place for musicians of any skill level to come and participate in the education of how to play, as well as create your own music. The main objective of the staff of the Musician's Corner is to help those who need it, as well as critique and collaborate in an effort to help make playing and creating music more enjoyable for everyone.
Divisions
We have two major divisions for education. One for individual instruments and music composition.
Individual Instruments Division - This would be for those seeking help for improving their skills and knowledge of an instrument. We have two branches from this division.
Skill Improvement- As the name implies, this section is to help you improve and teach you technique. Although it maybe tough with out actually physically being there, there are ways in which we can. If it be through just a general discussion in the thread, videos, mp3 recordings, or playing through the talk feature of an Instant massager or something similar.(MSN, AIM, YIM, etc) Or anything else for that matter. This isn't just limited to instruments such as brass, strings, percussion, etc. But vocals as well.
General Education/discussion - This would for those interested in just learning about the instrument in general. Even if just for a simple question or an in detail discussion as to help you better comprehend your instrument and to give you an edge in your playing.
Now, while the skill improvement branch will be individual, the general education can handle many people at once.
Music Composition Division - This division is for those seeking help, critique, or want to collaborate with other musicians to make song(s). This doesn't just apply for individual people, but if you have a band and are seeking criticism, then this is the place for you. This will also be a place to discuss music theory and as well as helping people learn how to read music.
Music Theory- An in depth discussion on a piece of an individual piece of music or a genre or anything else you can think of to help one get a better understand of what something should sound like, what is appealing, conflicts, anything that you think can help improve your knowledge.
Song Development - Say you have created something that you like and you want to improve on it and expand it into an entire song but don't know what to do. Well, we can help you with that.
Song Criticism - We will try and help you by giving criticism that we think necessary in taking your song to the next level. Or even you just want our opinion on a song by an artist or band you like.
Lyrical Composition - This for those who have trouble writing lyrics for their songs. It doesn't matter which genre it comes from, even if rap.
The Staff
No, were not professionals and aren't qualified as such, but we want to help in anyway we can. We've all had experience in music, whether it be a school band, garage band, individually learning, etc.
