The Russian Guitar: An Instrument Of The People
In comparison with the rest of its family, the Russian guitar has a relatively short history. While the Europe has been enjoying the melodious sounds of the guitar in one form or another since the 14th century, the guitar did not find its way to Mother Russia until the end of the 18th century, nearly 400 years later. However, once it arrived, it found a warm welcome, and the guitar has since become an established facet of Russian culture. Interestingly, its story has been inextricably linked with the politics of the country, and the instrument's popularity has risen and fallen with the times.
Firstly, the Russian guitar is different from the classical, or Spanish, guitar. The main and most important difference is that the Russian guitar, or semistrunnaya gitara, has seven strings as opposed to the classical instrument's six. There are also versions with two necks and 11 or 12 strings, but these are less common. The instrument is traditionally played without a pick, using fingers for either strumming or picking. Its invention is attributed to Andrei Sychra, who was born in the late 18th century and wrote over one thousand compositions during his lifetime.
Prior to the revolution of 1917, the Russian guitar was far more common and popular in Russia than the Spanish guitar. Its popularity was at its height during the later half of the 19th century, which may be at least partially attributed to the popularity of "city romance" songs at the time. It was during this period that peasants from the country were flocking to the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and these songs, which were guitar oriented and touched upon the life of the common man, were in keeping with the social movement. However, during the early Soviet eras of Lenin and Stalin, such music was considered bourgeois and fell into disfavor. The old Russian school of guitar, however, continued to be strong and the seven-stringed instrument persisted.
Although the Spanish guitar has gained some popularity in Russia over the past hundred years, especially in genres such as jazz and rock and roll, the Russian guitar continues to be the norm. The emergence of Russian bard music, or music written outside of the Soviet establishment, helped combat the influence of the Spanish instrument. This genre emerged in the 1960s, and its music relied heavily on the same techniques originally used in the "city romance" songs 50 years previously. Such music, and the Russian guitars it required, helped prevent Russian culture from being overrun by Western musical influences like the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Up until the late 1970s, Soviet guitar factories continued to produce only seven-stringed instruments. Manufacturers began a gradual switchover at that point and today, both types of instrument are available in Russia. The Russian guitar continues to be popular in its homeland, however, probably due to its flexibility, the relative simplicity of some basic chords and the ease of playing alternating bass lines. In fact, the appeal of the Russian guitar is so strong that Russian emigre guitarists living in western countries have been known to modify six string acoustic guitars to seven string instruments.
What's the best acoustic guitar for a beginner?
I need to choose an instrument to begin taking classic guitar lessons. I want a full size instrument that would allow me to grow and develop, and I would like to limit the price to $200 or so. At the moment, I am looking at a Hohner HW220, Lyon Washburn GWL102, Ibanez SGT120, Alvarez Regent RFO10 and Yamaha F335, but other suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
If you are going to take classical guitar lessons you will need a classical guitar, not a steel string.
Classical guitar is played with your fingers, and the string spacing is wider which allows you to get your fingers onto the string to pluck it.
Musicians friend has several nice beginner classical guitars, with solid cedar tops for about $250.00

I recommend a solid wood top for a better sound.

Piano Sheet Music - Reading Music is Easier Than You Think!
When you see piano sheet music first of all it can look rather daunting. Allow me to take you through the beginning stages of reading music - it is easier than you think!
Music notation was invented 1,000 years ago as a clear and precise way of capturing music. This notation is used virtually worldwide.
Music is notated onto a music staff (or stave). This is a series of 5 parallel lines. Piano music is written onto 2 staffs. The right hand reads from the top staff, the left hand from the bottom.
At the beginning of each staff you will see a clef. The clef fixes the pitch (height) of one specific note. The right hand reads from the treble clef. The treble clef fixes the 2nd line as G. This G is directly above Middle C.
The left hand reads from the bass clef. The bass clef fixes the 4th line as F. This F is directly below Middle C.
Next you will see 2 numbers, one on top of the other. This is the time signature. The top number tells you how many beats in a bar.
The note heads (ovals) are placed on the staff. Imagine that the staff is a ladder. The higher you climb, the higher the note will be on the piano. The note heads are written through a line or in a space.
In the right hand, the 1st line is E, the 1st space is F, the 2nd line is G and so on. In the left hand, the 1st line is G, the 1st space is A, the 2nd line is B and so on.
What is the Myspace code for a treble clef?
I was just wondering because a treble clef would go perfect with my new layout on myspace.
i dont think theres a code, you need to find a pic and post in the code for it

endeavors. To accomplish this, the group is creating a national
conversation among journalists about principles.
Three Goals have been identified:
• To clarify and renew journalists' faith in the core principles
and function in journalism. • To create a better understanding
of those principles by the public. • To engage and inform
ownership and management of these principles and their financial
as well as social value.
More information about the organization can be found at
www.journalism.org.

Is The Guitar The Right Instrument For Your Child?
Learning the guitar can mean many things to many different children. For example a child lacking in self confidence will welcome the peer group approval springing from the general popularity of this instrument. The guitar has a major advantage over the violin or piano in that those instruments tend to be regarded as instruments of yesterday, while the guitar does not seem to carry that stigma.
The classical guitar (or Spanish, or nylon string guitar) is a quiet instrument producing delightful sounds right from the start. The electric guitar on the other hand appeals to those who love to crank up the volume a little more. (Though it can be played for practicing without the amplifier of course)
There is a vast repertoire of different styles of music at any level of learning and children can be introduced to many different styles of music on one and the same instrument. The guitar has the advantage to come in 3 different sizes to suit the size of the child. Most other instruments are actually designed to fit the body of a full-grown man or woman, not a six year old or even a twelve year old. Only three instruments come in child friendly sizes: the violin, the cello and the guitar. A beginner’s guitar - full size, three quarter or half size - is quite inexpensive compared to the cost of other instruments. It is also easily transportable.
The guitar is a self-contained instrument and a child who enjoys being alone and independent and has ambitions will most likely do well on the guitar. However, the electric guitar and especially the bass guitar is a band instrument and very sociable indeed. Children who are outgoing and love being in a group will thrive playing electric guitar or bass guitar with their peers.
Never the less, systematic teaching in guitar technique and basic music theory is important to achieve any satisfactory results. There is a lot of hype in the media and on the Internet portraying the guitar as an easy to learn instrument with instant results. Statements such as "play like a pro in one week" and the likes are bound to disappoint. Unfortunately many young people give up because they did not expect that learning the guitar requires effort and discipline.
Guitar playing requires and will develop good coordination. Children who are good with their fingers – doing craft, model building or needlework – will make a good start. Children need to have adequate fine motor skills before starting on the guitar. They also need to be mentally ready for the hard work of practice and learning to read music at the same time.
Though every child is different it is usually not advisable to start learning guitar before the age of eight or nine. For very young children it is better, in my experience, to have general music classes first where they learn rhythm, music notation through singing and playing on tuned and un-tuned percussion instruments. This will provide a good foundation and when they are old enough to learn the guitar – or any other instrument for that matter – they will progress much faster and achieve satisfying results sooner.
I also recommend that young children (usually under twelve) who want to learn the electric guitar start on a nylon string guitar. Their small delicate fingers often are not ready for the harsh steel strings of an E-guitar or acoustic guitar. Any classical technique they learn on the nylon string guitar will be very useful later on if they want to change to a different style of playing. I found that some children who initially want to learn the electric guitar fall in love with the classical style. They simply had never been introduced to that style of music before.
The Guitar is unique in that it lends itself to explore so many musical styles and is therefore an ideal instrument for a child that shows musical interest and talent.
Which is harder to play the violin or the guitar?
I play the violin , i was playing for about two years and im thinking about switching over to the guitar or just trying it out. i dont no what specific kind of guitar so if you have any suggestions please let me no.
violin by far because of a few reasons first it has no frets just a fingerboard so you have to memorize where your fingers go on guitar you just press on the string behind the fret and you have a perfect note second with violin you have to bow witch takes practice to make it sound good and last tuning violins are harder to tune than a guitar when your a beginner so i would say violin is a harder instrument

Free Sheet Music On The Net - Truth or Fiction?
The search "free sheet music" (without the inverted commas) on google spews out an impressive 17,300,000 pages. Even the most inexperienced internet-user will immediately realize that the truth cannot be quite so bountiful. I click on the first hit on google (results on yahoo and msn will differ) and am promised thousands of downloadable scores. On closer inspection this turns out to be a number of Irish tunes at most, with most of the promised pieces in fact consisting of links to more so called "free sites". Funnily enough the owner of the website at one point even points out not to send him any nasty e-mails about the lack of free scores on the site.
So let's try the second hit. After navigating round the site promising me free scores, I always end up on a page telling me that all of these scores are free to download - for a small fee of 20 Dollars a year. As a user I am starting to feel confused - I haven't seen a single piece of sheet music. Can I trust this site? What would the quality of the scores be if I paid the 20 Dollars?
Frustrated, I move on to the next search engine result. This site at least has the courage to tell me on the main page that the so-called free scores will cost me 30 dollars a year, yet once again, I fail to detect a single quaver or treble clef. No scores are available for preview. This is starting to remind me of the "free DVD" I get with my Sunday paper. Only that I have to purchase the Sunday paper first.
Yet another site turns out to be just like the first, the promised pieces of sheet music being links to more so-called free sheet music sites. I am starting to get bored of being re-directed. Aren't there any sheet music sites out there?
The story of my search continues in similar fashion, until I encounter a site that does offer sheet music, albeit a limited quantity. I download a score only to find that the graphics aren't quite where they should be, and this makes me wonder about the general quality of the scores and the arrangements that are available. Indeed. Why should anyone create a score and put any effort into the arrangement and editing, if they aren't making any money through direct sales?
Even other hits take me to a site where I am charged $1.60 for the "privilege" of downloading a badly scanned copy of a Bach composition. Hm.
Frighteningly, I also find a site that offers extremely basic versions of John Lennon's "Imagine" and other music that is in fact still under copyright. This website is clearly an illegal operation, and one that might find itself in the crosshairs of the Music Publishers' Association (MPA). The MPA, as highlighted in a recent article on the BBC Website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4524086.stm) is intending to clamp down on websites selling music still under copyright, or where the arrangements are still under copyright. In a way the publishing world is doing what record labels started a few years ago by actively prosecuting those participating in illegal download of sheet music.
I eventually find a project similar to the Gutenberg Project where people contribute scores freely. The quality seems ok, but I am restricted to pieces by a handful of classical composers, and with anything relying on donations and free contributions, I doubt there are regular updates. However, as with Wikipedia, the authenticity of the product has to come into question. The standard review process that an encyclopaedia has and Wikipedia and other websites dependent on volunteers lack will have to be considered when downloading scores (or any other information for that matter) for free: does the end-user believe all the notes are accurate? When the founder of Wikipedia himself was found to manipulate information on the very site how much can these so-called democratic sites be trusted? Obviously no one would benefit from changing a note in a score, so no one would deliberately manipulate a piece of music. But what are the skill levels of those involved in the creation of these scores? It is highly unlikely that a trained musician would edit these - he would be destroying his own industry to a certain extent. Furthermore I will not be able to find simplified arrangements of a piece, as this is a time-consuming effort, and anyone engaging in such an operation would clearly charge for the service.
After many days of searching, I give up in my quest in search of good free scores.
But what is one to make of all this? Why are there so many sites that don't actually sell anything, and what is the point of them?
The problem is created by advertising. The people who run these sites own the most obvious url titles (i.e. the web site address) that one might type in when looking for free scores. As an example: if you were looking for free glasses, one might type in www.freeglasses.com. Hence, these sites get a lot of direct traffic. Furthermore they have also done a very good job at search engine optimisation, which makes you wonder whether google and Co are actually missing a trick here. Yet as these sites have nothing to sell they try and get the frustrated user to click on one of the many adverts, and many of these are so-called google ads. Every time someone clicks on one of these ads or paid-for links, the aforementioned website earns a small amount of money (so-called click-through). What is even more disconcerting is that some of these ads lead to legitimate sheet music download sites, making it even harder for the user to distinguish between the real thing and some dodgy operation trying to make a buck on click-throughs. This clearly does not help the industry.
Well, what about those free scores then? Well, there are some out there, basically a handful to be found on the five or six legitimate sites that are out there. These sites have the highest quality in terms of the arrangements, the quality of the score both graphically and in print-out quality.
So why no free scores?
Think about it: why should anyone go through the effort of either
A) scanning hundreds and thousands of pages of music, and then offering them for free?
Or
B) creating hundreds and thousands of arrangements for free?
Exactly. If you were to upload loads of tunes, you'd want to make money out of it.
Transposing music from the Treble Clef to the Alto Clef?
I play viola and have the music that I need, but it is in Treble Clef. Does anyone know how to transpose from Treble to Alto Clef? Software, a website, move the notes up a whole/half step, ect. anything will be helpful! Thanks.
If the viola part is written on the treble clef it means that the tessitura is going to be predominantly high. If you transpose it to the alto clef it's going to be way up above the staff with many ledger lines and difficult to read. You need to learn to read in the treble clef. Bassoonists have the same problem when the tessitura is high - they write their parts on the tenor clef - they resist THAT also but it's a pain to write notes with 3 or 4 ledger lines. Force yourself to do it.
