People have been playing music for thousands of years, and in some ways, not much has changed. There's still nothing quite like playing an instrument with a band or full orchestra — or being one of the lucky ones in attendance to enjoy it.

Tomplay™ is an innovative sheet music app that allows you to play along with accompanying music recorded by real musicians. The app works with a range of popular instruments like piano, violin, drums, guitar, and bass, and even includes options like the tuba, bassoon, and harp.

Have you heard of the Internet Music Score Library Project? It was founded only five years ago but now providing scores to every soloist, chamber group, choral group, ensemble, and symphony on the planet. Because of this resource, the fate of classical music has made a turn around in the culture for the first time in several generations. One is more likely to hear live music at the museum, and the great scores of the past are being given new life with amateur groups acquiring sheet music that would have been unaffordable in the past. Listeners are discovering new and forgotten pieces rather than being treated to an endless litany of warhorses.

Good Morning To You <--click for more

You've probably heard of the song that people sing at birthday parties, right? You know the one. It starts with the words "Happy Birthday", which is repeated several times. Supposedly, the song is protected by copyright by the Warner/Chappell Music Inc., which bought the company which held the copyright for quite some time. However, the copyright is in dispute, although Warner/Chappell will strongly defend their rights to the song, which means almost no restaurant out there will allow their waitstaff to sing it at someone's birthday celebration.

Anyway, the Happy Birthday song is based on the melody of a song that is in fact in the public domain. It's called Good Morning To You. You can get that song and more from the Cantorion website.
