 27% of online shoppers who plan to buy holiday gifts online this year will look for ideas about what friends and family want on sites such as Facebook. And nearly one-half will use social networks to research items, compare prices, & look for special offers like free shipping. (Mashable)
You'll find ideas, deals, & free shipping at West Music this season. Give the gift of music...and be sure to bookmark your favorite West Music Facebook Page.
If you’re looking for a good gift idea for you or a friend, here’s a book that I would suggest getting this holiday season! A Contemporary Christmas contains nine early advanced piano arrangements of popular contemporary Christian and classic Christmas favorites that are perfect for worship services. The arrangements can be used effectively as prelude music at the beginning of services, or whenever reflective music is required. Helpful fingering and approximate performance times are included with each arrangement.
When you go to a concert that has a spectacular pyrotechnic display, complete with lights and lasers, that take a crew 15 hours to set up, what are you expecting to hear? What about when the guitarists come in with long hair and you see famous musicians like Aerosmith and Joan Jett joining them on stage? Are you expecting to hear classical music? Probably not, but that is just what you will get with The Trans-Siberian Orchestra. (Listen to some selections below.)
A wonderfully Christmassy instrument, the jingle bells, are a hot commodity in our office around this time of year. They're easy to adapt for all to be successful.
With a little over a week left until the holiday jumble, it is very easy to get "wrapped" up in everything
I love Christmas and the whole Holiday Season. It is one of my favorite times of the year. You get the first snow fall (and then the second and third and possibly even fourth snowfalls too...especially here in Iowa), Christmas lights, and Christmas music.
I really love the holiday season. The lights, music, trees, ornaments.... there're many things about it that I love.
 This time of year one does not think of a white Christmas in New England. But June 29 does mark the 100th anniversary of Leroy Anderson's birth.
As so many others, I love Christmas music. It can evoke feelings reminiscent of being with family and friends, giving and receiving gifts, and childhood excitement.
If you play a low brass instrument, specifically a tuba, sousaphone, baritone, or euphonium, there is an annual event that you do not want to miss. Merry TubaChristmas concerts are held throughout the country during the month of December. The 6th Annual Greater Cedar Rapids "Merry TubaChristmas" will be held this Saturday, December 8, 2:00pm at Westdale Mall.
