Music is now publishing 'The Private Music
Teacher' a brief guide for the beginner. There is also
an e-book which can be downloaded from our download page.Unfortunately
‘Valley of the Ice Flowers’ hasn’t taken the world by
storm, and as yet no-one has offered to use any of the tracks for one of
those nice melancholic, romantic, fluffy European films that have
neo-classical bland piano themes endlessly papering the backdrop.
Although one of the tracks has been nominated for a big award in the
USA. (see below) So I have decided to spare the world any more of my
watery slushy pretentious piano compositions and concentrate on my
‘gangster rap’ and ‘trash metal hardcore nasty bitch’ music. Watch this
space!!
We
are anxiously waiting to hear whether
Barack Obama is to become the honorary president and
patron of Classycool Music ( actually, we will settle for his dog if
he's a bit busy)
(this is our secret plan to attract more traffic)
