Reading music is an essential skill for any musician, as it allows them to understand and perform written compositions. The process of reading music involves interpreting the symbols and memorandum set up on a distance of music in order to play the correct notes on an instrument. At its utmost introductory position, reading music involves understanding the layout of a distance of music, including the staff, clefs, and note values. The staff, which is the foundation of distance music, is made up of five vertical lines and four spaces, on which notes are placed.

From Amir Royale I don't think I've ever really felt well-understood by my peers or mentors. Most my life I was outcasted for my passionate and exuberant outlook. "Phonics" was a way for me to define what that felt like — but, furthermore — showcase to others how to combat it. I've had this song sitting in a vault since before the pandemic. Thus, I recruited some of my favorite people in this whole wide world to share the stage for one of my last few "harder" stories to tell. Or, well — at least I think so. Declan Sheehy-Moss (a good friend of the next J. Dilla and Robert Glasper - Cisco Swank); as well as Sydney Kate Palmer (an NYU student of mine) both bring this so beautifully to life — and, I don't know — I just hope you finally get it one day. Maybe, just maybe — I even pray I'll still be here on Earth to know finally what it feels like. That's if God decides I'm lucky enough. I love and miss you all, always. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺
StageScene MagazinePublished about a year ago in BeatLife In A Scotch Sitting Room - The Genius of Ivor Cutler
Introduction I first heard Ivor Cutler on the John Peel Show in the seventies, though that was the source for a lot of the music and other stuff in my teenage years. I don't know what brought him to my mind today but I do love his strange, comforting mad old uncle tales and songs, usually accompanied on his wheezing harmonium.

"Music Express That Which Cannot Be Put Into Words." Music expresses that which cannot be put into words ; it cannot even be conveyed into another language; it cannot be described.” [“The Art of Music“, Edward L. Carter, University of Minnesota]
Hozier sang what?
Hozier's songs are terribly romantic and well, feely. They evoke emotions that have been buried, have yet to be discovered, and ones that are hard for the average Joe to word. Hozier isn't the average Joe. He has found a way to express and tell a story within his songs. Stories of love and ache. Sadness and excitement. So, let's get to some of my favorite lyrics found in Hozier's songs.

Neil SpencerPublished about a year ago in BeatPolymath Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases His ‘Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented’ EP
From Amir Royale Sophomore year, NYU Tisch’s Clive Davis Institute, 2017. I created the concept of Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented as a "Writing the Hit Song: Deep Cutz" homework assignment. Over the course of 14 weeks, I crafted and reworked about 12 or so ideas. Suddenly, my songwriting professor at the time (Eren Cannata of Cove City Sound Studios, Facethouse Records & Warner Chapel Music), directed us to use all the content we created thus far to formulate an EP. This project would then become one we’d pitch and present to potential A&R scouts. It was our final project. I curated 5 of my best records across the class to showcase a conceptual narrative and description of greed, lust, and youth insecurity within American culture. It is the final entry within my four-EP-long music chronicle (dating back to my 2015 EP, This Is for You.). To let this project go free finally—feels like a blessing. Thank you.

Being a rebel is hard. If you don't know what that means, or you don't know if you're a rebel, I suggest you pause here, take the "Four Tendencies Quiz" here, and then come back. The quiz takes three minutes to take and revealed so much about me to myself.

As if more hype couldn’t surround social engineer Akademiks, he chose to suggest that he will snitch on Lil’ Baby. This inference declares his penchant for stirring up controversy and bringing to light the fragility of rappers and their careers.
Skyler SaundersPublished 2 years ago in BeatLast Night, A DJ Shaved My Wife
Did I hear that right? I am sure that we have all been through the same experience with songs that we know and love. We hear a lyric, admire the melody, and then make the mistake of trying to sing it or discuss what we heard in front of a better informed audience.
