Unstructured Piano Practice: Exploring the Arpeggio Sections of Chopin's Ballade #1 and Bach's Prelude #5 When it comes to practicing the piano, most musicians follow a structured routine with specific goals in mind. However, there is also great value in incorporating unstructured practice sessions, allowing for more freedom and creative exploration. Our lives have actually become so 'goal-oriented' that we might have become really good at achieving what we set as a goal at the cost of knowing ourselves well enough to know what goals are most aligned with our true nature in the first place... Universities were never meant to be 'preparation for jobs"--that was clearly the domain of the community and career colleges; it was only when our ego was misled to thinking that universities were somehow 'better' than colleges that we unwittingly traded the last vestiges of the institution charged with preserving the purity and integrity of the seat of human knowledge and when we started accepting 'donations' from industry inadvertently gave up the academic freedom that was the only mechanism to guarantee it. A.I. alignment may well prove to be the insurmountable eschatological end for humanity--but even if we somehow do manage to circumvent it, the fact is that we let it distract us from the writing that was already on the wall long before AI became a 'thing,' and by giving in to our human nature and oppressing what could have been so much better than us--better so that they could help us improve--instead, we projected our flaws onto them and had to force A.I. to conform to our flaws and idiosyncrasies like political correctness (the total opposite of 'say what you mean' or 'mean what you say,' and is actually the bully in making others feel it's wrong to be or express themselves as they naturally were about to--until you guilted them in the name of political correctness and enabled their insecurity to the point that we no longer can fraternally correct each other. Instead, we just accumulate more and more flaws and can't face any of them--all the way till it causes the end of us.... Just sayin'--but don't shoot the messenger...

NYE 2025 – How about a hybrid version of the Big Bang Event? The World’s Largest Orchestra and The World’s Biggest Party are all about reducing the impact of fireworks on every facet of our environment. We’re not about spoiling the party. We understand the addiction we have to adrenalin-pumping noise and immediate visual stimulation so it’s important to scale down fireworks displays while we replace them with lasers, lights, and music. A hybrid “NYE25” would include – ·        scaled down bursts of fireworks in much shorter hits accompanied by ·        hundreds of well-lit drones flying in unison to music ·        conducted by one conductor with laser batons on a high point ·        transmitted around the City, the State, the Country, and the world ·        where musicians play in unison ·        where EVERYONE is included (musicians playing in hospitals, retirement villages ++ in unison) We have tested and proved the laser batons and transmitting the signals to batons mounted around the world and they do work so . . . LET’s DO THIS THING! Ps. How about “NYE25 Dueling Cities” – (Say Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne) all in a line, all in perfect unison conducted by one person? Pps. If Australia doesn’t want this, It’s portable and the world needs something different!

Everyone always wants label an entire race, and to judge the character of all, like Nike means you are the best or Versace means you are Italian and Isreal you are all bad because you wanted to defend your people. I do not believe that people just hate based on race alone, the underlying issue is we look at race all too much to fertilize a seed in everyone’s mind as a focus point. Whatever happened to life’s true meaningful purpose, is it just to kill and later, dismiss this as a casualty of war for a greater purpose because if that is so, then we are ALL on a crash course in self inihilation. Think about it, if only one race or ethnicity lived on the earth, there would still be the same issues at work as we have today only race issues would be eliminated. People would still do the very things that you see today amongst JUST that race because of intrinsic value of private thoughts about who is better amongst us, greed consumes people more than they realize., it’s just that there are more difficult obstacles in your way and empower your evil side as a helping hand because you focus on what’s NOT important rather than what is, and use whatever means to supplicate your ambitions. Hate, leads to anger, anger leads to violence.

Very interesting read from ClassicFM. We know it's coming.... https://lnkd.in/d9GMcebG #rkassmanpiano #fineeuropeanpianos #bestpianostoreinthebayarea

1.5 million tickets sold in one day shows the power of metal icons in selling out shows faster and in greater numbers than anyone else: "AC/DC's European Tour Sold 1.5 Million Tickets In One Day" Unfortunately they're not coming to Asia but they are coming to Australia in 2025 as long as they can get through Europe first! ""It's staggering and it gives you great faith because they're very particular in how they conduct their business. They don't do VIP. They don't do dynamic ticket pricing. They never want to hear fans complaining about ticket prices being too high. "There's also a point where we have to push it a little bit because otherwise they couldn't afford to tour — especially when they're playing one day on, three days off. … Obviously the goal is to hopefully have them continue if they enjoy it and it works well … to try to keep them out in '25, '26, '27, however long they want to go, but we gotta get through Europe first." The amazing aspect about this as well is that half the stadium shows are in Germany. Clearly the perfect place for metal. What do you think, would you go and see ACDC live? https://lnkd.in/gnPAZbaT

MusicSA today unveils its 2024 annual survey Insights. We are excited to share the results of MusicSA’s 2024 survey of the South Australian contemporary music industry. Conducted for the first time this year, the survey provides a detailed snapshot of the local industry, highlighting both its strengths and areas needing improvement. Key Insights: Industry Networks: There's a strong demand for a more connected industry and better information on grants, funding, and investment. Regional Investment: A significant need for dedicated investment in regional areas was identified, emphasizing the importance of professional and industry development outside metropolitan regions. Local Music Businesses: Most respondents are professional musicians, highlighting a shortage of music businesses to support our strong artist base. Live Music: Multiple barriers to live music attendance were identified, including a lack of familiarity with local artists and increasing costs. The survey findings will guide MusicSA's advocacy and industry development programs, ensuring we meet the shifting needs of our vibrant music community.
