classical music

The majority of universities in modern times educate their music students to be classically trained. While this is greatly beneficial to understanding music and creating a solid foundation, it does not focus enough on modern music. By teaching strictly classical, it would sell students short of their full potential and capabilities. Educating students with electronic instruments, modern music theory, and the different aspects of music business is the logical way to ensure musicians are provided with the best education and all the resources necessary to be successful. 

Beautiful classical melodies have found new audiences in this new millenium, not only through people learning the originals in form through music lessons, or from orchestra and symphony performances, but by making appearances in rock, rap, and even trance hits. This is a list of our favorite genre melds, with links to the pop song as well as to the original’s sheet music, which in most cases is in the public domain and available for free download.
