  • iPlayMusic Announces New Music Lesson Programs

    By Guest |

    IPlayMusic enables students to easily incorporate active music making into their daily lives, with the ability to export lessons onto the iPod.

    By combining audio, video, animation and interactive technologies, iPlayMusic's beginner guitar lessons put the fun into learning guitar by teaching users to play actual songs by popular recording artists.

    What's more, iPlayMusic provides a less-expensive and time-sensitive alternative to traditional music study. There is no need to drive back and forth to lessons or purchase costly sheet music. There is no ramp up time as students can purchase their guitar, bring it home and immediately have fun playing songs.

    For a sneak peak of iPlayMusic's suite of music leaning products, visit the site at www.iplaymusic.com for free demos. The following products are currently available for children and adults:

    Beginner Guitar Lessons Interactive DVD; Levels 1 and 2

    Each lesson presents four on-screen panels that demonstrate a basic guitar skill or technique from different angles. To help beginners master a song or to enable a "karaoke-style" sing-along, a guitar, vocal or scrolling text sections can be easily added or removed.

    Beginner Guitar Lessons Level 1 introduces the musician to guitar basics and musical styles. Guitar anatomy, chords, strumming patterns and transitions are demonstrated, as is an introduction to various musical styles, including rock, blues, country and more.

    Level 2 presents the next step in content for players interested in mastering the guitar. They are introduced to riffs, licks and tricks that expand on the rock, blues and country styles initiated in Level 1. In addition, musicians are introduced to new styles like reggae and 12 bar-blues.

    Beginning Guitar Lessons, Level 1 and 2 are available on www.iplaymusic.com, eBay and Amazon. Each is available for $24.95 as a DVD or for download.
