Music Video Lesson: Finding the Vehicle for Your Music

Hi, this is Robert Estrin at livingpianos.com. The subject today is, finding the vehicle for your music. There are some points in history where there are excellent vehicles for musical expression. Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven had the Sonata form to explain. The piano is also just coming into its own as was the symphony orchestra. This provided incredible opportunities for musical expression. There are whole areas of history where the arts flourished such as the Renaissance. Conversely, times like the dark ages offered scant opportunity for creative expression.

There's another side to this, aside from historical context. If you're a musician or artist, you must find your unique system of creative expression if you're going to be prolific. If you look at some of the most successful composers today, they each find a niche in which to flourish. This could be combining styles of music that have never been fused before, such as Eastern and Western styles, or it can involve utilizing technology in ways that haven't been done before.

One thing that I have done incessantly since early childhood is improvisation. Since I had done this for so long, I almost always have fresh new musical ideas percolating in my mind. When I sit down to the piano, oftentimes things come together in ways that seem inexplicable. While I have captured some of them on recording, at this time, I am developing a system of recording these musical creations to share with you. Last night, I sat up the recording gear and for a test. While I had nothing specific in mind when recording the music seemed to come together well enough to share with you. I hope you enjoy this.

Finding the vehicle for your musical expression is half the battle of becoming productive and effective ensuring musical ideas. I'm interested in your opinion of what I am creating with technology to share my musical ideas with you and welcome your insights into how to create a vehicle for musical and artistic expression. Thanks so much for joining me. Robert Estrin here at livingpianos.com, your online piano store.
