Yep, they actually published something I wrote as a column on their web site. You can check it out at this link: http://www.makingmusicmag.com/pages/columns/06jan02.html

I ran across this magazine at Swannanoa last summer. It full title is
Making Music: Better Living through Recreational Music Making.

@From Making Music Web Site

Making Music is a different kind of music magazine. Instead of being dedicated to one instrument, to young musicians, or “gearheads,” our magazine is a lifestyle resource for all recreational music makers and music hobbyists, older than 45, regardless of instrument or ability.

Our readers play many different instruments and styles and have diverse abilities—some may be returning to music in their empty nest years, others may be serious and devoted amateur players, while others are picking up a guitar or violin for the first time in their lives. What unites them is a love of sharing music with others, challenging themselves to learn, and making play one of their healthy lifestyle choices.

They are educated, self-motivated, and excited about an activity that has many physical, social, and psychological benefits.

We publish instructional articles, resource spotlights, and product guides. We also publish health news and tips, profiles of amateur musicians, and feature stories that explore the world of music hobbyists. We don’t publish music or book reviews, tablature, or interviews with professional bands and celebrities.

It’s a cool magazine and they offer a free issue. So check out the articles on their web site and sign up for a free issue.

This magazine is all about how you …

Lovely stuff.

I’ve always maintained that the playing of this music is a translation of feeling. Each and every tune has a personality, a character, a mood, a moment. Sadness, Ectasy, Defiance, Solititude…the list could go on all night.
Once you understand the mood of the tune you are half way to playing it as it should be played.

Forget about the technical aspect…feel the mood, find the Soul of the tune…Nice one Lee..very nice

Slan,

I’m not old enough to read it yet, but glad they had the good sense to post your writing.

Enjoy your music magazine.

“Please enter my subscription to Making Music for $16.95 and send me my Free issue immediately! I’ll receive 6 more issues for less than $3 each. That’s like getting 4 issues free.”

I want to know what math method they used to come to that conclusion!?!?

$16.95/6=$2.83/issue - that is certainly less than $3, no argument
$16.95/7(including the “Free” issue)=$2.42/issue - even further less than $3
But… how does that equate to being “like getting 4 issues free”? Is it $3 on the newsstands maybe?

$3X6=$18-$16.95=$1.05 savings
$3X7=$21-$16.95=$4.05 savings

hmmm … still doesn’t seem to work out.

Ah well… looks like a great resourse anyway.

Great little article Lee!

Same here (on both accounts).
