MUSIC FOR THE LOVE OF IT
Music For the Love of It is a bimonthly newsletter for people who love making music.
It is a musically literate forum in which amateur and professional musicians share stimulating ideas,
up-to-date technical information and heartfelt enthusiasm for music-making.
Our short, clear articles are written from a musician's point of view.
They are illustrated with music notation, photos and drawings.
Some themes to which we frequently return include:
- Musicianship, musicality and ensemble
- Adult learning of musical skills
- The value of amateurism in musical culture
- Emotional aspects of music-making
- Qualities of musical sound: intonation, temperament, timbre, vibrato, etc.
- Resources for musicians and music organizations
- Players' reviews of sheet music, books, software and workshops
- Health conservation for older musicians
- Music-making events and opportunities
