Laughing, crying, smiling and loving are emotional expressions humans are capable of. Generally, we express these emotions. However, we often let them fade away to the back of our minds. But through music, we are able to fully express our emotions.

All music has several qualities. Melody, pitch, frequency and rhythm are just a few of these qualities. Joy can be expressed through rhythmic music while romance is expressed through melodies. Melodies can also express sorrow.

Looking back to Western Classical, there is a universal connection to human emotions. However, there are composers out there that speak out against these emotions. They believe that music is abstract and is subject to the interpretation of the listeners. Ludwig Van Beethoven was one of those notorious composers. Although, by the age of 28, he became deaf, he was still a gifted composer.

Eastern Classical is compromised of many different categories. The two main ones are Hindustani Music, from North India and from South India, the Carnatic Music. These are both referred to as Ragas. The melodies in these ragas contain various moods, based on the time of day. Indian Classical is derived from a particular line of melody and must be sung in a specific rhythm. Any departure from this is thought of as a mistake.

A song is created when lyrics are put to a melody. But keep in mind, that music can also be solely instrumental. Often, people receive pleasure from the tune only. Emotions can be expressed through guitars, violins and pianos. A range of emotions can be expressed, such as joy, sorrow, pain, agony and romance.

Often, music derived from the heart will give a person more pleasure than a more a more complex piece that is based on human artifacts. Perhaps this is why pop and rock songs are a favorite of many music listeners.

A person’s temperament will also affect what type of music a person likes. This would explain why some people like soft melodies while others find hard rock appealing. For this reason, people could possibly argue that music not only expresses emotions, but is an emotion.

Want your children to learn to appreciate the beauty, peace, and simplicity of nature? Then pass these values on to your kids with music. Music is a powerful tool for expressing ideas and values. Don’t let the only music your children hear come from pop tunes on the radio. Enroll your children in music lessons such as the piano to expose them to a tradition of values that will last them a life time.

Musicians of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries composed music adapted from traditional folk songs portraying the sights and sounds of rural life and nature. These “modern” pieces were well remembered by the growing middle class of concert goers. Composers wanted to be remembered for their music with accessible music that was simpler in form and easy to recall. Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony is an example.

Children have always enjoyed playing folk songs because the words and melodies are easy for them to remember and sing. Plus the values and ideas they express feed the souls of young children with calming thoughts of nature and simplicity. Here are examples of the folk tunes young children in piano lessons can learn to play in their first or second year.

Here are some tips for the solo wind musician.
If you play, woodwinds, brass, strings, or any single line instrument.
You can make a substantial amount of money using your play-a-long library.That’s right!…Your play-a-long library can be a goldmind of income.

I know it works because I’ve done it.
If I can do it, anybody should be able to do it.
Here’s the plan.

First: You have all of these wonderful play-a-longs that you use to practice with.
You have spent many, many hours learning these songs, and perfecting your talent.
A lot of these play-a-longs are really great accompaniment, and some are recorded by professional musicians.

Well!…Why not put together a nice sounding PA, or sound system, (what ever you can afford)use all of those wonderful play-a-longs you’ve had for years, put some song sets together, go out and target all the venues in your area that would be great for a solo musician as yourself to perform in, and make some easy money.
Sound crazy?…think again, you will be surprised to find out just how many places want live entertainment, but dont have the room, or the budget to hire a full band.

Here’s an example from my real experiences.
I have played a restaurant in early afternoon, a coffee shop after work hours, and played with my regular band that night.
The result,…Three times the income that I would have normally made that day.

I charge $50-$100 for small venues, $100-$200 for larger establishments, and parties, $200 and up for high dollar fundtions.
You have to be the judge as to how much you need to charge per gig.
Also keep in mind your expenses.

Oh!…I forgot to mention the tips.
That’s extra bravy , or icing on the cake.

So go ahead!…Make that money!
Put those old dusty play-a-longs to work.

Since I play mostly jazz, I use this source for my play-a-longs:
