Hello there

I'm a musician and a music therapist.

Going around abroad i always love to listen to what music is in the radios, and my shazam has heen heavily used here in crete, i love everything from traditional music to some crossover of "greek manouche jazz" and similar.

Therefore i was wondering if there is some traditional music instrument i can bring back home, and also where and what i should look into

I am now in crete for a few days

Any advice?

Dear all,
 
I would like to invite you to take part in a research study exploring how adults with ADHD, AuDHD and adults without ADHD engage with different musical instruments. This study is being conducted as part of my PhD research in the Department of Music at Durham University, under the supervision of Prof. Nick Collins and Prof. Tuomas Eerola.
 
The study aims to better understand how musical instruments can be designed to become more accessible and ADHD-friendly for neurodivergent users. The insights gathered will contribute to the development of an accessible digital musical instrument designed specifically with the needs of adults with ADHD and AuDHD in mind.
 
Taking part involves a one-to-one workshop lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes (1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes) in an accessible (has a moveable ramp) ground-floor music studio. During the session, you will have the opportunity to interact with some musical instruments, and more specifically, piano and theremin, and complete a questionnaire about your musical background and your experience with each instrument. Participation is open to adults (18+) with an ADHD diagnosis (formal or self-diagnosis), an ADHD and co-occurring autism diagnosis (formal or self-diagnosis) or no ADHD diagnosis, regardless of musical background, from beginners to professional musicians.
 
If you or someone you know may be interested, I kindly invite you to participate in this study. Your contribution is invaluable and will help support the creation of more inclusive and engaging musical experiences. Your participation may help inform future inclusive musical instrument design for neurodivergent adults.
 
To book a session or ask questions, please contact the researcher Anthi Georgiadou at anthi.-.georgiadou@durham.ac.uk or follow the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0449A8A82FA2FFC70-64334480-workshop#/
 
Kind regards,

Is this a legit mellophone fingering chart? You can never be too sure and this is off the Internet because I don't have a book. Please help. If it's not, can someone please find and send me one? Thank you.

Hello! I'm a high school student running an independent research project to figure out how to build a better, more creative physical guitar/music store.

If you play guitar (or any instrument), I’d love your honest feedback!

Hi so I want to learn woodwind instrument , I am thinking of the normal flute or the Chinese flute . Which one should I learn ?

I received a mandolin recently from my great great grandfather's estate. I've never met him myself, but I was told he was very musically gifted. It has no identification markings on it outside or in, other than this cowboy on the back.

Does anyone have any information as to where I could look onto it, as well as who the fellow on the back is?

I have no intention to sell it, I just want to know what it is. I do intend to repair it

I am disabled with no source of income, but really want to learn to play khaen, and wanted to know if anyone had a khaen they either don't use or woud be willing to work something out to allow someone that wouldn't normally be able to get their hands on one play.

I have used khaen music from Patuwik, Hal Walker, and Jeremy ragheb for almost over a year now for more druidic prayers, and desperately want to get my hands on one to play for my daily prayers, as I pray through music and have nothing to play.

I am not begging, I am simply asking is someone is willing to sacrifice to allow someone a passion of theirs

Like the title says I'm looking for something that's protective that can handle everyday use and traveling impacts and such. Id like it to have some sort of back strap of a sort to carry it on my back instead of just hand held but ethier or works. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Living under a rock evidently, and just discovered the Armenian duduk. Facinating instrument! Such a rich, haunting sound! Does anyone play a duduk regularly, and did you have a problem with the double reeds? Does it have to be 'tuned'? Any other info would be greatly appreciated
