I had a lot of gigs with professional musicians when I was in Japan. I've thought it is about time to perform in the U.S, so is there anyone who wants to make a band with me? I'd rather play HR/HM. There is Myspace of mine below. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/toyoshimayukari" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/toyoshimayukari</a> You can listen to my tunes and check some my photos out.

<![CDATA[I am getting ready to launch updated website. On it I will be highlighting my orchestra however, this time it will be different in that I am also going to highlight other types of bands. I no longer wish to break down my own orchestra. So, if you have a band that's ready to perform and of a high quality sound, then send me your promo pack for review. In most cases, I will need to attend at least one performance to verify quality and style. I recommend these groups myself so I want to be sure the quality is up to par. I am looking for wedding, pop, 80's, 70's, look-alikes, country, jazz, salsa and classical ensembles. I will only be placing 3 of each type at most on the site.

<![CDATA[PIANO/GUITAR/ MUSIC THEORY LESSONS offered by a professional instructor with a bachelors degree in music from Cal State Northridge. ++++ALL AGES(4 to 94) AND LEVELS. INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION++++ The lessons are tailored to suit each student's desires and needs, however the general curriculum is as follows: +++BEGINNERS+++ - READING MUSIC: This skill is correctly acquired through the separate study of melodic and rhythmical components of written music. The methods employed have been proven to yield the fastest results in gaining musical literacy. (Reading music is taught on the guitar as well, as opposed to tablature and visual patterns) - EAR TRAINING: Recognition of the distance between different pitches (also known as intervals), is an essential part of developing a "musical ear". As such, the student receives instructions on sight singing through solfege as well as learning to identify melodic and harmonic intervals by ear. - PLAYING THE INSTRUMENT: The correct technique for execution of different passages is emphasized. The student will learn to use the lumbrical muscles of the hands as opposed to interosei dorsales. The early emphasis placed on correct technique will prevent the student from developing tendonitis or carpul tunnel syndrome in the future. MOST STUDENTS BEGIN PLAYING MUSIC WITH BOTH HANDS FROM THE FIRST LESSON. - THEORETICAL TRAINING: The student learns the basics of musical composition, including but not limited to construction of chords and scales in different modes. +++INTERMEDIATE LEVELS+++ - SIGHT READING: Principles of playing at sight are examined and practiced. - PERFORMANCE: More advanced pieces requiring the venture into different positions and keys are learned. Correct interpretation of pieces, including the execution of ornaments is emphasized. - EAR TRAINING: Melodic, harmonic and rhythmic dictations are essential at this stage of musical studies. The student will be asked to write down excerpts of music played by the instructor. - DIATONIC HARMONY: The principals of composition such as keys and key signatures, chord functions within each key, as well as other principles of four part harmony are learned. The student will be asked to compose original pieces at this stage. +++ADVANCED LEVELS+++ - PERFORMANCE: Advanced pieces are studied and perfected for public performance. - CHROMATIC HARMONY: Secondary dominants and leading tones, modulation to closely related and distant keys and borrowed chords and mixed modes are discussed. The student composes advanced pieces at this stage. - ORCHESTRATION: The range and capabilities of different instruments are discussed, and the student learns to write music for transposing instruments as well as learning to arrange pieces. - CONDUCTING: The basics of conducting in simple and compound meters are covered.

<![CDATA[If so then we already have TWO things in common... I'm 37 and a mother of two...but there's also another side to me...a creative, sensual, wild side - which I express through my writing (poetry/short stories) and music (I play the piano)... I have to say that it's hard finding other MOMS who can appreciate the creative side of me (much less want to know more about it)... Perhaps we can meet one day for coffee and chat a bit - and then who knows, maybe we can write something together... Looking forward to hearing from you...]]>

<![CDATA[We know you're out there ! Some amateur singer or keyboardist (or both) who enjoys Classic Rock-60s-70s ... you have other obligations in your life and are only looking to play for fun, as a hobby, and the enjoyment of the music. You would like to practice once a week or so.... probably on weekends, maybe once in awhile during a weeknight. Get together in a loose structured, very relaxed band atmosphere... no pressure. You aren't involved in Drama or Drugs yourself, and don't want to deal with band-mates who are uptight or who have unrealistic expectations or issues. You are an amateur, probably a baby-boomer, and could see yourself singing and/or playing some piano, organ, keys, synth on stuff like Beatles, Pink Floyd, Folk-Rock, etc. with guys who are ages 40s and 50s. You could dust off the keyboard and amp that have been sitting around in the garage or back corner for the last fifteen years, while you have been busy raising your family. You could practice at a hourly rental studio that would be in driving distance, since you are in the South Bay, LB or Northern OC. You see it as fun to develop the song list, as we learn to master the cover-tunes we enjoy working on and then what -- a backyard party or some other low-key gig ? Thanks for looking at our ad ! 310, 562 or 714 areas ]]>

<![CDATA[Looking for a bassist that is skilled, open minded, and dedicated. Our "band" currently only consists of a guitar and drums, but we are looking forward to when we are a full band. We come from a very thrash/death metal background but we are looking to get into a much more progressive sound while at the same time retaining alot of that metal feel. We currenty have one complete song (which is over 10 min long) and are working on the second one and both are very eclectic music wise. that is why we want some one who is open minded. Our influences include: opeth, dream theater, death, the mars volta, between the buried and me, sepultura, (older) metallica, porcupine tree, the beatles, pink floyd, Rush etc... Bassist must have own equipment, transportation and MUST be dedicated. We would prefer that you have at least 4-5 years experience with playing with bands and shows but this is not necessary, as long as you can play its all good! PLEASE NO KROQ OR SCREAMO BASSISTS. if this sounds like something that you are interested in, hit me up at the.autumn.fateless@gmail.com or you can call 626 394 2218 and ask to talk to Raul. -Alex]]>

<![CDATA[ ... If you are a singer songwriter looking to get stronger and more fluid on the guitar, so that you can accompany yourself, I can help you. I'm currently teaching 15 musicians that have strong writing and vocal skills. My approach is to help you articulate guitar accompaniment as simply & beautifully as possible, regardless of genre; in order to present your original songs live and/or recorded. Some covers are also considered as templates for the study of harmony, arrangement, and technique. Each student has final cut on their material. My teaching style focuses on enhancing & informing your intuitive process. Theory is presented in small increments and applied immediately to works in progress that are being analyzed. A good goal, imho, would be to: ^ Play clean chords which traditional & original voicings. ^ Move chord changes with complete control & fluidity. ^ Create 4-6 right-hand techniques such as: strumming, arpeggios, pluck strokes, double stops, dampening, tapping, and various classically considered fingerstyle techniques. ^ Learn to play on the guitar, the melodies that you are hearing & singing, in order to connect what you hear, to the ends of your fingers, as well as the fingerboard. ^ Express confidence, learn how to relax, and authenticate what you as a writer are stewarding through you. If you have the desire to raise the bar on your guitar playing for the purpose of writing & performance, please contact me. Thank you. ]]>

Our influences include but are not limited to Arch Enemy, Pantera, Black Sabbath, Kreator, Iron Maiden, early Metallica, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, etc. Please read the following all the way through before responding: We're looking for someone who can sing, as well as scream and growl, and has talent, dedication, excellent stage presence and an easy-going personality, who likes to have fun. No egos, no flakiness, no attitudes. Must be local and/or willing to travel to North Hills twice a week, must have transportation, must own or have access to a mic and PA or at least plans to invest in them in the near future. Most importantly, we want stylistic versatility. We are looking for someone with a decent range of vocal abilities (including singing well and in key), not just one or two things. Ability to write lyrics is a definite plus. If you don't think you can fulfill all of these requirements, please don't even bother responding to this ad. If you are interested, you can email us, message us at www.myspace.com/beyondawaketheband or call Rick at (818) 522-0466 to set up an audition. Please come prepared. Bring your gear and some CDs with songs you know well from some of the bands we listed above. We will want you to sing along to them and then possibly freestyle along to our songs. Lastly, we're sorry but we do not yet have any songs recorded, so for the time being if you are interested in hearing what we sound like we will have to play for you in person. Any other questions you have, feel free to contact us. Thanks a lot!]]>
