Best Bet for Green Day Boston Tickets

By Julie Samuels

It's safe to say that Green Day as a band has successfully achieved cult status over the past two decades. They started out as a small California local band with a grassroots fan base, and with their catchy, and at times even controversial pop punk songs, they have built a tremendous and dedicated fan base over the years that spans across the entire world. They are likely the most influential punk/alternative band in the modern music scene.

The band wasn't named Green Day when they first started playing small California gigs. Performing as the group Sweet Children, they worked their way into the California punk seen in the late eighties and early nineties. They signed with Lookout! Records in 1989 and released their first EP, "1,000 Hours". One issue that came up for the trio is that another local band had a similar name, so to set themselves apart, the group started performing under the name Green Day.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool have achieved what many small local bands starting out dream of - rockstar status, a huge fan base and the chance to spread their music and rock hard. For this reason, they truly are icons in the punk world and are an inspiration to young people, especially budding musicians everywhere.

Now the band is working their first worldwide tour in three years. The tour starts with a concert in Seattle before heading all over the United states and the world, promoting their latest album. The release, titled "21st Century Breakdown" boasts five hit singles and over twelve million copies sold.

Green Day has achieved iconic status over the years, going from a punk alternative band to a feature on major network magazines and interviews. As their tour geared up for launch, the band members were in extreme demand for interviews from all major networks.

This year's tour includes a concert in Boston at TD Banknorth Garden on July 20, 2009. The show starts at 7:30 PM, and the best place to find tickets is by using a tool like TicketZinger.com, which shows all of the various ticket services prices at one time. - 18780

Piano For All - Learn How To Play Piano

By Chris Jensen

There are different ways to learn how to play the piano. With the hype of new technology, you can choose to learn how to play the piano online. You can also choose to learn it the traditional way - by ear.

Some might say that it is difficult to learn how to play the piano by ear. Indeed, it can be quite a challenge in the first few stages but as you practice more and progress into the next stages, you will find that the learning process becomes easier.

In learning how to play the piano by ear, you will need to work on melody. You can start by thinking of a song that you believe has a simple melody. Try picking out the notes in the melody then try playing them on a piano. To help you in this process, try to recognize intervals in the melody or the distance between two notes in the melody. Being able to easily determine intervals can help you in picking out a melody easily.

After you have learned about picking out the melody, you can try to start picking out chords. You will need this in harmonizing the melody with the chords. As a review, a chord is a combination of at least three notes that are played all at the same time. Beginners will typically learn three chords at a time, based on the first, fourth, and fifth notes of any scale in any key. As an example, the three basic chords in the C major key are C, F, and G. When taken together, these three chords include all the notes in the key of C.

You will also need to learn more about chord voicing. This refers to playing a chord in positions other than the root. For example, you will not always have to play the chord F in the order F-A-C. You can play it as A-C-F or C-F-A. Changing the position by which you play a chord will give it a different voicing.

Learning how to play the piano by ear will always involve melody, chords, and chord voicing. It is therefore important to keep these three things in mind as you try to learn how to play the piano in the traditional way. - 18780

The Love Of Family And Music

By Aimee Jones

Right now, we are surrounded by vehicles, people talking or shouting, loud volumes of televisions at home or even outside such as at the malls even animals on the streets like dogs and cats, they all make noises that we just are so used to it and felt like its just normal to our everyday life. And even if we go to sleep, we can still hear dogs barking, the sound of electricity, the air condition inside the room and a lot more. Sounds we hear could be irritating or could be pleasing as well, so I think we should find something that could make our ears enjoy listening to, such as good music.

When I was a kid, my mom would usually tell me stories on how she met my father. My mom performs as a singer, while my dad performs as the drummer in the band.

My sister and I grew up listening to their music most of the time. My mom would always record all of the songs that she has sung and give it to us to listen to. My father then would teach us how to sing them properly and make us record our own songs as well

Music is not something that when you learn how to do it you just perform and that's it. My mom would usually tell us how she thinks of us often whenever she sings and that she is dedicating each and every song to me, my sister and my dad. She said that it's the secret to a good performance, to put feelings while singing and that it never fails her during the height of her career.

Every weekend, my whole family would just sit around the house while doing karaoke, singing our hearts out while having some great snacks too. Sometimes we even have visitors which are more fun since most of them would like to sing the whole day too.

To have music in the family is a great way to spend and enjoy your everyday. You could be the singer or the drummer, the guitarist or the pianist, whatever your interest maybe, it will sure be fun for everyone.

With music around, you can be your self. You may not be the type who wants to create music but for sure, you can always listen. With so many kinds to choose from, you'll definitely find one that can make you think of happy thoughts or memories even make yourself free from stress since music can make your mind relax, especially the classic ones.

I am a music lover. I love my music as I love my family. I can think of them whenever I'm at peace. And music definitely puts my mind at ease. - 18780
