Your current log in is your first name, that I know you by, and the pass is your name with the first letter of your last name after it. If it doesn’t work, let me know in lessons. (I disabled comments in this welcome message but you should be able to comment on all other entries.)

Our first post in the new MLSD blog.

Posted in General by Sean @ May 14, 2008

Hey there… there’s not a lot to put in here at the moment, though the MLSD blog isn’t new, it’s only been offline for a while. The previous version of this blog had several entries, some incorporated lesson materials or subjects, others were simply music-related blog entries. I’ll look into moving some of the old entries into this new blog for anybody interested.

Everyone is welcome to add their own posts in the blog. Some of the key entries that I added to the previous MLSD blog were:

  • Logging In (MLSD is set up so you can log in if you’d like to post/comment.)
  • The ABCs (Some books for beginners on the instruments.)
  • Benefits of Music Education (A couple articles from other sources.)
  • Benefits of Music (Another article.)
  • More sources of material for guitar, bass, percussion, & drums.
  • A revised “Practice Routine, Goals, & Motivation”.
  • Joining MLSD Group (how to).
  • At a Glance: The Traditional Music of India.
  • Note memorization.
  • Scales/Intervals.
  • Drumset patterns for coordination/syncopation.
  • Rhythms.

When I get the chance I’ll move those over to this blog.
