Writing about a webpage

Hi again, this time I’m going to talk about a website that I use to study: teoria.com. This page it’s closely linked with my career and studies in general because I study music theory. It’s very usefully for my studies because it helps me to practice things like intervals, chords, scales, rhythmic and rhythmic/melodic dictations. I constantly use this website to study, at least once a week. The webpage provides many tools like ear training exercises, music theory tutorials, articles and music theory references, but I usually use the section ear training exercises. In this section there are exercises like notes identification, intervals identification, chords, scales and melodies identification; and besides, in each section you can choose the difficult level and specific thing that you want to practice, like just major scales, just simple rhythms or the melodic complexity, the clef and the tempo. I really like this site because it helps me to train my ear and it’s very interesting to know my musical level in this area. I enjoy visiting this site weekly and I want to invite you to use this site too. Until next time!

Latin American composer/musician

Hi guys, today I’m going to talk about Latin-American musicians that I like. I don’t remember another band or composer so I’m going to talk you about Luis Alberto Spinetta. His a singer, guitarist, poet, writer and Argentinian rock composer. He was born in January 23 in 1950, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Spinetta was one of the most important Hispanic American musicians, forming much bands throughout his life. Obviously, his contribution to Latin-American music is all the music that he creates, but also, I want to highlight his song lyrics, because I consider he was a great poet.
He lived in a musical context that influenced his music. In 1956 was the rock boom around the world, but also, in Argentina was a period very influenced by the folklore. In 1964 was the beatles boom and throughout his life Spinetta had another influences.
I like this great musician because I love his music and I think is one of the most important musician throughout my life, especially the band he form named “pescado rabioso”. I hope you like my post and listen to Spinetta and his bands. Bye!

My favorite photography

Hi again, today I’m going to talk about my favorite photograph. Actually, I don’t have one, I just will show you a photograph that I like.
This photo was taken by Tony May in a private pool in Putney (London). It was an order by EMI in the year 1997 to promote their back catalogue. This photography shows six women sitting on the edge of a pool, displaying on their backs the cover of six Pink Floyd's albums, all of them created by the artist Storm Thorgerson and drawing by the body-painter Phyllis Cohen.
I really like this photo because Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and some of this albums are my favorites. I like the composition of the photo and the music that represent and I think it’s so beautiful to use the woman body to represent music.
Also, this photography reminds me a lot of thing related to school and decisions that I have made to be here now.
To end, the names of each album represented are “Atom heart mother”, “Relics”, “The dark side of the moon”, “Wish you were here”, “The wall” and “Animals” respectively. Bye!
