Review
This is an awesome tool for teaching music notation and is loaded with lots of cool stuff. Upon opening the program, you can accurately enter notations with your finger or stylus on your tablet or iPhone. If you don't have a stylus, I'm pretty sure you can get one at Fry's for little cost.
The app is nicely laid out, as well as user-friendly. I found the software easy to understand and very effective. You'll find that bar lines, time signatures, clefs and triplets can be added automatically. There are many dynamics to choose from. Plus, you can email your files to friends, students and other musicians.
There's a good selection of activities and you can customize it to fit your needs. Check out the requirements, here and download NotateMe Now - Neuratron Ltd. I'm very pleased with it and give it 5 stars! If you'd like a glimpse of what it's all about, here's a video presentation.
Just listen to Diana sing The Boy From Ipanema, and her laid back sultry voice will transport you to Brazil in no time! This has always been one of my all time favorite songs. In fact that song just flows into Walk On By and you're clinging onto every breathy word Diana sings. Yep, you'll go down memory lane. Remember Dionne Warwick? And then another favorite of mine Diana adds as a bonus track, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart... remember the Bee Gees? I rate this CD 4+ stars!
I believe the new CD was released on Tuesday so I ran out and grabbed myself a copy. I know my Cousin did, too. I have all of her Cds, songbooks and dvds. I do love Jazz and she is a fine jazz pianist. My Cousin had a pin up poster of Diana in his garage, but his wife asked him to take it down when they moved and so he did! lol
"Quiet Nights is Diana Krall's twelfth album, released on March 31, 2009... The album is currently (first week of April 2009) the best selling CD in Poland." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiet_Nights_(Diana_Krall_album)
Here's a breakdown of the tracks: 1. Where Or When 2. Too Marvelous For Words 3. I've Grown Accustomed To His Face 4. The Boy From Ipanema 5. Walk On By 6. You're My Thrill 7. Este Seu Olhar 8. So Nice 9. Quiet Nights 10. Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry Bonus Tracks: 11. How Can You Mend A Broken Heart 12. Every Time We Say Goodbye
The orchestration behind many of the slow songs is perfect background music for hosting a party. In fact, Diana's right hand riffs to many of her songs shine proudly with fantastic orchestral music of strings in the background. Then you'll hear some blues licks played expertly by Diana on So Nice track. Oh, I wish I could play like that!!! Effortlessly she plays single note melody lines that just flow with ease! Here's what others have to say about Diana's Quiet Nights:
"Quiet Nights is extremely easy on the ears — maybe too easy. Its foremost charms are the timbre of Krall’s voice and her phrasing, cloaked in Claus Ogerman’s impeccably crafted orchestrations."... says Peter Hum from the Vancouver Sun http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/review+Diana+Krall+Elaine+Elias+concoct+seductive+sounds/1448274/story.html
"Quiet Nights," on the Verve label, sees Krall back in jazz standard mode, but with a twist. She's singing and playing Brazilian-tinged songs by Jobim, Gilberto, and others.
She never intended the record to be a Brazilian album, but that's how it came out after she recorded about 50 songs, overall, before choosing the music that made it onto the CD." Reuters from The Epoch Timess http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/14664
Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review from allmusic says, "Bossa nova is not unfamiliar to Diana Krall, but 2009's Quiet Nights is her first record devoted to the gently swaying rhythm." http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:dvfixz8kldde
"In Quiet Nights, Krall succeeds in emotionally connecting with her audience and establishing a romantic mood with her sexy voice and moving piano solos, thus building on her impact on the contemporary jazz world." I think this is the best review for Diana's Quiet Nights by Joe Skurzewzk. Read more http://www.dailycardinal.com/article/22702

In 1986 the sounds of Bruce Hornsby reached my ears with the words and music written by B.R.Hornsby, The Way It Is.
"Bruce Hornsby (born Bruce Randall Hornsby, November 23, 1954, Williamsburg, Virginia) is an American singer, pianist, accordion player, and songwriter. Known for the spontaneity and creativity of his live performances, Hornsby draws frequently from classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, rock, blues, and jam band musical traditions with his songwriting and the seamless improvisations contained within." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Hornsby
"Hornsby currently uses a Steinway & Sons concert grand piano. He bought the piano in Zurich, Switzerland, while on a solo show tour in Europe in 1995. With the Range and up until 1995, he used a Baldwin concert grand piano. He currently uses a Korg M1 synthesizer. With the Range, Hornsby used an Oberheim OB-X synthesizer."
Great music never goes out of style and good songwriting is always relevant. Here are the lyrics to That's Just The Way It Is http://www.propelleer.com/story/2009/03/19/bruce-hornssby-the-way-it-is
Standing in line marking time-- Waiting for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in the silk suit hurries by As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes Just for fun he says "Get a job"
That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them
They say hey little boy you can't go Where the others go 'Cause you don't look like they do Said hey old man how can you stand To think that way Did you really think about it Before you made the rules He said, Son
That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them
Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more But it only goes so far Because the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar
That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is But don't you believe them
Review from Rolling Stone http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/142512/review/5944766/scenesfromthesouthside
"Sometimes a wildly successful debut album – like The Way It Is, by Bruce Hornsby and the Range – can be a curse for a rock band. Suddenly faced with the pressure of recapturing the commercial magic while not repeating themselves musically, many bands find their songwriting stunted or lose their focus altogether the second time out.
Rather than merely echo the promise of The Way It Is, Scenes from the Southside, this band's sophomore effort, fulfills it. Hornsby – the man who singlehandedly reestablished the grand piano as a viable rock instrument in the otherwise synthesized Eighties – fleshes out his keyboard runs. At the same time, the members of the Range manage to achieve what just barely eluded them on The Way It Is: the right mix of rock, country and jazz."
Interview with music.yahoo.com Robert L Doerschuk http://music.yahoo.com/read/interview/12027447 "Well, we just recorded a song the other day that's just three chords. There are lots of songs on all my recent records that are very simple harmonically. The songs I'm most proud of are the simplest ones. I'm not on some path toward great complexity; I'm not on my way toward Bartok. I'll have my moments of that, but then I'll have a moment when it can just as easily go on a George Jones record. I like so many different types of music, so it's about what hits me at the time. The writing process and--maybe to a lesser extent, but still to a very real degree--the playing process is all about trying to move myself. I'm always trying to do something that I think is great. I fall short most of the time, but every now and then I'll give myself chills. That's hard to do, but that's what I aim for."
So, here's the chord breakdown that echoes in my mind. Play these chords in the r.h.: Am7= E G C Em7= D G B D= F# A D or D F# A Cadd9= C D A G= B D G

* Bruce Hornsby Biography http://www.answers.com/topic/bruce-hornsby
"Hornsby was born in Williamsburg, VA, and grew up in that combination college town and tourist center, later attending the University of Miami and the Berklee School of Music. He then spent years playing in bars and sending demo tapes to record companies. In 1980, he and his brother (and songwriting partner) John Hornsby moved to Los Angeles, where they spent three years writing for 20th Century Fox. There Bruce Hornsby met Huey Lewis, who would eventually produce him and record his material. Hornsby finally signed his band, the Range, to RCA in 1985. Their debut album, The Way It Is, was released in August 1986. It eventually produced three Top 20 hits, the biggest of which was the socially conscious "The Way It Is," which featured Hornsby's characteristically melodic right-hand piano runs. The album stayed in the charts almost a year and a half and sold two million copies. Hornsby & the Range won the Best New Artist Grammy Award for 1986."
