The lost art of listening to music Part II
I remember very fondly the Hi-fi set up my Dad used to have in our living room. It had this huge speakers, a nice turntable and cassette deck. My Dad used (I said used because he now seldom listens to music, he lost interest in it) to listen to the mind-blowing arrangements of Ray Conniff, Julio Iglesias' filtered voice and the sharp sound of Herp Alpert trumpet. He used to sit in the middle of the living room, a glass of spirit in his hand, my Mother by his side and those lovely melodies as soundtrack for quality family time.

The lost art of listening to music Part I
Without any doubt, music is art, and proper listening it’s got to be considered art too. Our fast paced life has plummet our enjoyment of the pleasure of listening to music, now we don’t seem to give music its true value. Stay with me, not everything is lost, nowadays we got a vast array of music available at our fingertips. Like never before music is available 24/7 on a myriad of platforms, but is it truly a good thing to have all that music available? But first I want you to stay with me and take a deep dive into our past to learn a bit more about how music was listened in a distant past.

Why You Should Still be Listening to John Mayer
It’s been my steadfast belief for some time now that John Mayer is one of my generation’s musical beacons. The kind of artist that when we’re all old, grey and in-charge, we’ll remember with the kind of affection and respect that my parent’s generation do Clapton or McCartney.

How Music Changed The World
‘Music can change the world because it can change people’ - Bono In an era where public demand is increasingly driven by consumerism and materialist values, and people are kept apart, it can be easy to forget that music has not just been a form of entertainment, but an agent of social change across history.

Music as a healing tool
Music therapy has ancient roots. According to my research, Pythagoras used music as remedy for physical maladies in Ancient times. The Greeks were the first to document this, but I’m sure that way before them music was part of many healing rituals all over the surface of the earth. We can responsibly say that those were the precursors of Music healing as we know it today.

There's something strange going on in New Jersey and it's been going on for years. Throughout history, we’ve seen clusters of expertise develop suddenly in a geographical region.
