By visiting this “avenue of music”, you will be able to enjoy music in a new way, because it will become more appellative to all of your senses and also more pleasant with its most varied seasonings, fragrances and colors.

— Below, find out about some specificities of this “promenade”:

PLAYLISTS
I have prepared some playlists for you to enjoy while browsing around the posts. Go up there, on Spotify icon, and choose some according to your mood today. Don’t worry, the playlist will open on another tab and you’ll be able to read the content and enjoy top music at the same time.

NOBLE MUSIC MANIFESTO
This blog, as a communication channel, has, in addition to other goals, the intention to start in December 2017 this movement that I decided to call “Noble Music Manifesto”. Know that it is not only in Brazil that millions of people complain about the production of popular music of recent years. Other countries perceive a major shift in the music scene – for the worse. Why this dissatisfaction? What is the most consumed type of music in Brazil and in the world? What kind of artist sells the most? Why in the past decades musicians would sing about hope, a better future, true and eternal love, the kindness of helping others? What were the History influences that twisted the music scene? Learn more about the proposals of this Manifesto by following this blog. There is still hope, yes; and it is us, the dissatisfied people, who can transform the present, thus changing the future.

“Life has no remote control. You have to get up and change”

“What if instead of complaining we get organized to make it work?”

… and if we don’t try, we’ll never know!

MUSIC EDUCATION

In the not-too-distant past, learning this art, in a formal context, used to be a privilege only for the elite. However, the Digital Era democratized the access to the highest level of knowledge for all people with a computer or smartphone at hand. I don’t think any machine will ever be able to replace a good music teacher by your side, but I am very grateful to technology for everything it has provided us with in education, art, and culture.

Learn Music here on this blog and share what you know. There are contents of Music Theory, Ear Training, Musil Appreciation, Music History, Composition, amongst many others.

DEAR DIARY

In the old fashioned way, I tell our daily friend of everyday, music-related experiences, mostly but not limited to it. All stories are true – down to the smallest detail.

MUSIC CRITIQUE

I believe that a music critiques can have two types of wording: journalistic or artistic. The first tends to criticize using a non-technical vocabulary, so that every reader, regardless of their level of musical knowledge, understands the message. The second, is performed by an experienced musician, with competence to analyze technical and intrinsic aspects of performances, artists, albums, songs and contexts. Within each of these two types of wording, there are several types of music critics. This blog proposes to use both critical ways.

News, biographies, curiosities and releases from national and international artists, from the present and from the past.

LISTS

Lists about the world of music: the best songs of the year, the best songs of decades gone by, the world’s worst videoclips, the most performed symphonies, the movies with the most remarkable soundtracks, the best selling musical instruments, the most creative jingles, and much more.
