Sometimes all we need is a little encouragement.

Society has a way of belittling musicians.  Its easy to feel like your not making any difference, or not succeeding. The world is full of great musicians, yet you are the only person that sounds like you.  Be yourself and work hard to make your self better.  Just realize, you are important and we all need your art. So don't give up.

Visualizing Music in Nature

I gave a talk recently about how we can see music in the world around us.  I thought i would share what i came up with, feel free to comment and add.

Look at these birds... 

they could become the notes of a melody,

The layers of this rock are bound together...

in a static Harmony.

These footprints in the snow...

are an echo of the rhythm left by the animal that made them.

If you look around you I bet you could find many more examples of where music can be viewed in physical form.

Let me know what you come up with.

Work In Progress

This will be a place to share inspiration and bass lessons. I am currently working on putting together some online bass lessons for every one to use.  Bear with me I'm new to this whole Blogging world.
