It has been proven that learning how to play a musical instrument can enhance one’s intellect, creativity, and even math skills. Also, listening to certain types of music (mostly Classical, but some others as well) stimulates the brain to hold more information for longer periods of time, which results in superior short-term, and sometimes long-term, memory. Because of all this, I think it is important for schools, not only of older children, but even from the ages of 5 and 6, to provide some sort of music class, be it learning an instrument, music theory, or just listening to music and telling the students to draw a picture of what they think the music is conveying. I think it should be part of the regular curriculum. I feel it is very beneficial, and will help them when they are adults much more so than some other classes that are currently part of the accepted curriculum.
I know that some schools already have such classes and programs. I think that every school should.
The bigger point should be sometimes things become jaded and entrenched.
Not every kid can or should learn the same way, sometimes other methods are needed.
Perhaps there are kids who cannot be a learner, but can play an instrument why should this skill be lost
I once asked a teacher why the school system expects strugling kids to kill themselves over advanced math skills they will never use in real life. (they will most probebly not even remember it a week after their test, but that is irelevent as long they have a good mark on their report card…) So the answer was that math sharpens the brain and teaches the kid structure and to follow the rules. Well if thats the case whith math its definitly so whith music. And those kids who are not good whith numbers are usealy creative and talanted and music and art would be the best thing for them, but it wont put the school in the good light they are trying to portray themselves.
@Middlepath, yeah they sound really bright and punchy
regarding your question, do you get the fuzz when you just play through a regular amplifer or is it there only on the recording?
I’m not all that up on recording techniques but what I could tell you is to check out a forum called talkbass they should be able to be very very helpful
@Middlepath, did you get the answer you were looking for?
I’m glad you figured it out!
It’s amazing how small the world is, I went to see a group play Sat night and their bass player is one of the top rated commentors on the talkbass forums!
Did you get a name? Wikipedia says one of the band members converted to messianic judaisim but that aint exactly “frumkeit”
I didn’t see the article, but it could also be that whoever wrote it doesn’t know the difference between messianic Judaism and frumkeit.
i very much agree with the concept of education with/ through music. It has been proven to increase learning/memory ability and helping kids acheive/grow better in school. Even shows signs of BETTER BEHAVIOR!!
Go for it!!!
not everyone is capable of understanding music. for example…i can listen to some music (classical or whatever) and just be overloaded why the great amounts of information…whereas my friends just dont get any of it…some peopel just dont understand the tone of the music…subtle differences, nuances…yeah im done.
