Music posts for all ages
Learning how to play an instrument is rather difficult. On the same token, knowing how to play one and learning a new song is a task all its own. Repetitive practice is the only way to learn complex riffs, but it all comes down to muscle memory. The only problem is that you can’t always take your instrument with you during the day.
There are tons of different ways to listen to music. Being on the go most of the time, we need varying sound accessories to accommodate our musical needs. This means having something like a solar powered speaker for time by the pool, headphones, or plug-in speakers. If you don’t have good system in your car, you’re going to want something small and powerful that won’t get in the way.
If you have the ear for it, you can tell when music has real or fake strings. While there’s nothing wrong with using an electronic keyboard, you really can’t beat the authentic sounds of a bow against a string. Needless to say, it’s not always easy to get a hold of an entire orchestra at a moments notice. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just sit down in front of an instrument, and get all the rich sounds of…
The ‘modern version’ of something is always looked upon with skepticism. When you take a tangible thing and make it digital or electronic, some may doubt its validity. The move from an acoustic guitar to electric caused a big hubbub, but it started to be more widely accepted as time moved on. The next big step will be moving to a guitar that has no head, body, and has frets made from light.
Some of us enjoy music as separate entity from ourselves. We listen, enjoy, and feel it in the sense that it moves us emotionally. Others prefer to have music cranked up so loud that the bass is their new heartbeat, and they’ll hear ringing for the next week.
Music is all around us, but it takes an individual to shape that sound into something that other people want to listen to. While people or groups like Stomp can use garbage cans and found objects to share their sounds, others may prefer more traditional instruments. If you like to play around with a keyboard, then the only thing you’ll need to worry about is being plugged in, but what happens when you don’t want to be in the same…
The way that we sense the world around us is vastly different from other creatures that also inhabit Earth. We see what we believe to be a vast array of colors (though it’s nothing compared to the rainbow mantis shrimp), taste a variety of foods, hear millions of different sounds, and well, you get the jist. While we do get to combine some of our senses, we aren’t able to hear a taste, or see a sound…until now anyway.
I’m ashamed to say that I’m not really a fan of this style of over-the-ear outdoors headphone. In my opinion if you’re outside listening to music in all the noise and traffic why wouldn’t you isolate yourself from as much noise as possible with in-earphones? So with all that in mind, why am I reviewing these RHA SA950i headphones? Well to start with they look really good, and secondly because I was so impressed with the last earphones they sent…
It has been a great many years since hoisting a boombox on your shoulder was a new “thing”. While the way we play our music has changed over the years, there are still some hilariously large options out there. No one wants to jam out to tunes by themselves on headphones alone, right? If you’re going to turn it up, you may as well have a huge stereo to pump it out.
If you like to keep things looking neat and tidy, you probably want to keep your desk, table, and other flat surfaces relatively clear. However, there are some things that you can’t live without such as music, but you don’t want to clutter up your space with a docking or speaker system. If you want to listen to tunes without a bulky sound system sitting around, why not hide it in a lamp?
Have you ever found that the speakers on your device are just not powerful enough? You strain to hear movies and music, cupping your hands, or propping it up on something where the sound will bounce back a bit more, but nothing works. The solution is another, more powerful speaker, but that means you lose the use of a USB port, and you have to find a place to sit it.
Music is an integral part to our lives. It can shape the way we look at the world, and many of us can’t stand a minute without it! If you are one of these people, there’s a chance you might have a decent standalone speaker or stereo system. The age of CDs has almost passed, and now most of our music lives on our phones. Instead of getting a different sound system that is catered to docking a smartphone, why…
When you’re riding a bike, you need to make sure that you can hear what’s going on around you. Many people like to listen to music while they’re pedaling along, which is fine and dandy, so long as you’re not blocking out all exterior sound. There are enough distractions out there as is, and trying to answer your phone, or change tracks on a song could quickly become a life or death situation.
There are some nights where going to sleep can be a chore. Your head gets all jumbled with thoughts of what you didn’t get done today, what you need to get finished tomorrow, what the future holds, and all that other stuff you really don’t need to ponder right before going to sleep. The best way to peacefully drift off is to relax your mind and body, but that’s not always easy to do. Sometimes you need something in the…
There are some things that people are wildly passionate about. It can be art, stamp collecting, traveling, or pretty much anything. However, few things move you the way music can. Some people are so ecstatic about their favorite tunes that they never want to go a day or minute without hearing a melody. There are those who also believe that music shouldn’t just be a part of life, but beyond.
