School Time Again?!

Welcome to a new week! 



This week's Product Focus is our massive range of Keyboard and Piano Books.

The concept of books explaining how to play piano is as old as the Hanon hills, so what that means for you is a very wide range of polished, quality options. Whether you're aiming to play classical music on a Grand Piano, or a few pop tunes on a small Keyboard, we are sure to have something here to give you the boost you need. We also have books that cater to every level, from very early / beginner level to advanced.

Alfreds have many series on their own, from beginner to advanced, consisting of Lesson, Theory and Solo (songs to play) books at each level, and then you have the option of getting them All-In-One. They cater for both children and adults with these series.

If you are wanting to study professionally and become qualified in Piano, we also stock the AMEB series of resources. They have books for each grade, and also have a handy pack with recordings and a manuscript book to assist you with your study.

We stock many other similar series, such as Bastien, Hal Leonard, SuzukiFaber Piano For Leisure, and of course the very popular FastTrack and Progressive books, which include CDs, DVDs and online learning resources. They cater to differing styles of learning as well as different tastes in music.

And just to make it super easy, we have things like key stickers and flashcards.

No more excuses! ☺

This Just In! 



Exciting news for this week includes - now you may not believe it - but it's School Music Presentation time again! Seems to come faster every year. Everyone's getting ready for their end-of-year concerts, and making preparations for next year's School Music Program. So if you have a child involved in the Program, or one who is considering joining, let's have a look at the new School instruments we have ready for you.

This year we are stocking Beale Student Brass & Woodwind instruments, alongside our perennial favourites, Yamaha and Jupiter.

Beale Band Instruments are the exciting new extension to the well known Australian Beale Piano company. Since 1893 Beale has been utilising the best of European Piano manufacturers to create excellent quality instruments, and with that ethic in mind they have crafted a brilliant range of student Brass and Woodwind instruments. Excellent quality at a student-friendly price, Beale is a great way to get into your own instrument sooner, while ensuring that you will still have the necessary quality to join in with the rest of the class.

At this time of year we often see parents making the mistake of purchasing instruments from supermarkets, pawn shops or online retailers, and then ending up with something that looks great but doesn't play properly. Best case scenario, it makes a sound, but your child sounds worse than any other in the class, and gives up on learning Music. Worst case scenario - and we have seen this happen often - the instrument doesn't make any noise at all, and none of the local repairers will touch it - as it voids their insurance.

Either way, you are much better off going straight to the experts - us! - to ensure the best possible quality at the best possible price, and we are here for the long haul to support you through your musical journey.

You can pick up a Music Spot School brochure from your local school, or pop into the shop to pick one up.

Fact Or Funny



This week we decided to go with another Funny.


What's the difference between a Keyboard and a lawn mower?

The neighbours get upset if you borrow their lawnmower and don't return it.


Naw come on, I'd be a bit annoyed if you didn't return my Keyboard!

Have a great week gang and we'll catch you next time!
