Hans-On!

Sons of Korah Concert

Citation

Rarely do we have an opportunity with such a rare style of music. The Sons of Korah will we hosting a concert here at Hans-On Music Lounge Friday, April 1st. Tickets will be $10 at the door.

Not many people have heard a style like these guys, and rightly so because they attempt to mimic an ancient arrangement from over 1500 years ago. The songs are based off of the psalms. "Psalms have traditionally been sung to various types of music including plainsong or Gregorian chant; polyphonic settings; hymn tunes, often using a rhyming paraphrase; and Anglican chant. Nowadays psalms are set to all manner of music from folksongs to rock to reggae." (Video) Sometimes the normal music in this world is tiresome, and hearing these guys is different, but so enjoyably so.

If your up for something that is unlike anything you have ever heard, and yet is incredibly beautiful, come hear them with us.

All Over the Map!

Citation

It's about time we share our progress with you. Last week we had one of our students(Carter) on our podcast. We had an outstanding about of listeners and a bunch of new students came and started taking lessons here. Carter was a huge hit! the only problem is that he's only one student with a guitar. One story doesn't tell it all.

We will be having recitals here on Wednesday March 23, at 6pm, and we're going to make it open to the public. Come on over to see how our students have come along. There will be piano, flute, guitar, lute, banjo and so much more. The students are a wide, but skillful variety. We'll serve hot mocha cappuccinos along with sodas and light snacks. We'll also have a drawing for a Zebrawood Luna Guitar.

Oh... and if you have an instrument to sell, come talk to us.

Yesterday's Failures, Today's Musicians!

Citation

You know... there are many options for music teachers today, but fewer and fewer students are responding to the usual ways of music teaching. Dropout music students simply don't seem to understand the theory and details of music sheets and papers. They get discouraged and give up on music when they are told that because of an "inability in one aspect of music" they have no musical talent.

This was the case with my student, Carter.
He sadly had resolved that he had little talent at all (although he had the basics understood very well). However after Danny Phelpson spoke here a few weeks ago, Carter quickly found that there are alternative ways to learn guitar. I started teaching him in my own classic "hands on" way, and he took off like jet with his musical ability. I spoke with him on my Podcast, and he had an incredible turnaround in a matter of weeks! He's a natural. Here's a song we recorded with him: click here

So many of our students are wearing and tearing guitars into pieces as they play extremely complex things. Not just guitar, but mandolin, banjo, piano, and electric guitars as well. Yes, these "musical failures" are working their way into stage performance. Our efforts are working, and we would love to share them with you. Come and see us. We can help you no matter where you're at.
