The Best of PartTimeMusician.com: October 2009

October was a busy month! In addition to covering some interesting topics, we published an update to The PartTimeMusician.com Guide to Free and Nearly-Free Resources for Musicians, a handy reference we put together to help musicians everywhere bulk up on the things we all need to make music for next-to-nothing. Thanks to all involved!

A hearty thanks as well to everyone in the PartTimeMusician.com family for making October another great month in a long string of them. For all you have done to make your site a good one, THANK YOU!

Here are some of the “blue ribbon” articles from October that you may want to revisit:

October 1: Culture through music
October 7: PTMs in the news: Learning other subjects with music
October 8: Quote of the Day: Alan Kay
October 9: PTMs in the news: Giants among us
October 14: New and Updated: The PTM Guide!
October 15: Review: Clayton Haslop’s Violin Mastery DVD course
October 19: Quote of the Day: John Quincy Adams
October 22: Being a musician is good for your hearing
October 23: Tage Larsen, CSO Trumpeter
October 30: Music should be FUN!

A quick (and well-deserved) plug for the PTM advertisers: if you need anything for your music-making, please check with them first. They’re good folks, and their prices, service, and quality are tough to beat. Their ads are in the right column…please give them the chance to earn your business and in doing so, you’ll be giving back a bit to the PTM community at the same time…without paying a single dime more!

Thanks to all involved for their contributions. You are the best of the best!

Keep playing,
Mark
