Our Latest Blog on Music & Instruments

By Willie Dawkins, Lessonface Summer Intern

Music is one of those great studies that is simultaneously an art form of human expression and a technical field of expertise. Music has been part of my life since 7th grade, when I started playing the flute in concert band. I went on to become a self-identified band geek through high school. These were truly transformative years in my life. Now I’m at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY where I’m studying Engineering and Management, but I can never forget the music that has been a part of my life since then.

So now that you’ve started taking lessons with Lessonface and are busy learning as many songs as you can get your hands on, what’s next?  It’s simple, get out there and put your skills to the test. 

Performing is an important aspect of the learning process when studying an instrument.  It has a variety of benefits including building confidence and meeting fellow musicians.  Not to mention, performing is one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.

​For those of us who rely on instruments to make our music, the idea of having those babies disappear is pretty painful. Even so, instrument theft is fairly common.

Just as you are always eager to improve your bowing skills or sound clarity, in this day and age, being a good musician also means improving your digital prowess.  Below is a list of digital music resources that we have compiled, some of which are pretty popular and some of which you might not have heard of.  Either way, we think you should check them out!
