EarMaster Pro 5 Review

Written by Jeff

After months of using the EarMaster Pro 5 ear training software suite, I have finally written a review of it on my EarTrainingSoftware.net sister site.  I was so impressed with the lessons, which I’m still doing, that I set up a site just for it.

Take a quick look at my EarMaster Pro 5 Review and let me know if you have any questions about it.  I’ll be happy to answer them if I can.

Thanks for hanging in there and enjoy!

Bang My Drum Set Adds Music Review Section

Written by Jeff

Realizing that you can’t be a music site unless you talk about music, Bang My Drum Set will be adding a Music Review section to our web site.

In this section, you’ll find a mixture of album reviews, concert reviews, artist profiles and videos of the people who help shape music today.

Watch the Bang My Drum Set site starting in June as we roll out new content areas and give the site a bit of late spring/early summer cleaning.

Time stood still and everything just seemed to click. Some even report a trance-like state where everything they did just came out right. Others talk about how the whole group was on the same wave length and could actually anticipate the musical thoughts of their fellow players.

Why I Love My New iPod Nano

Written by Jeff

That’s right. As many times as I’ve heard people droning on about why they love their iPods I’ve always taken a very utilitarian approach to the idea. I thought what’s so great about a device that lets you take your music with you? I mean that’s all it is, right? Having lived through headset AM radios(yes, I’m that old)and walkmans, I thought what’s the big deal.

As you probably have already guessed, I had some education ahead of me.
