Bodacious music good for tappin' your toes

Even though there isn't much guitar in it, we do carry Seasons, by the band tom&co. It has some great music for Christmas and Easter - hey, it's not too early to think about those Christmas presents!

Swing by the store and check it out - there's a lot of ear candy in this one!

Jumbi steel drum

OK, this one is just cool, and tons of fun to play with. It's a genuine steel drum, complete with stand and "mallets", that has a surprisingly good tone. While I think it's really meant for the education market - to be used in a music classroom - it would make  great addition to any studio or band. For that matter, a playroom!

It offers an octave's worth of notes from the major scale, and works well with guitarists playing in sharp keys. If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it - it's just fun, and the design makes it hard to hit a "clam" note.

We've had a ball doodling with it at the store - Emmett & Peggy both have had to chase the teacher's off of the thing when we're between students!



Guitar Teacher (and member of the Mosely Dixon Project) Bobby Hall was even caught on camera playing with the Jumbi!



Here's what it sounds like. (This was captured with a nintendo DSi).

So come by the store and play with the thing!

Blowin' in the wind... or the Harmonica

Swing on by the store and check 'em out!

Pound Away!

... on some drums from Young America music School. We carry lots of drum "stuff", including sticks and cymbals. We also have a good selection of "kid beginner' drumsets - hey, it's not too early to start thinking about Christmas!

Inexpensive Music notation Software

Emmett ran across MusEdit when looking for music notation software for his bmusic class book, and loved it so much decided to carry it in the store! Musedit is amazingly powerful for the price, and makes it easy to write music, especially for fretted instruments
