17 March 2025 Newsletter
With the first term of 2025 almost something of the past, I eventually get a chance to share some of Allmusic’s stories with you.
It is always the best practice to start learning with the original music in hand. Placing a copy of the original music in front of a learner places extra tension as it suddenly looks different.
Our online shop has been upgraded. Many music books have additional information when you click on the picture. The description appears.
If a music book is ordered that is not in stock, it will be included with our next order from our international dealers. The titles on our online store were ordered by clients over the past 17 years.
It is impossible to place every possible title and pricing available worldwide on our online store, but we are doing the best we can. Looking for a specific title: our moto remains: whatever we cannot find simply does not exist.
Con Spirito Philharmonic
Attachments
The programme of the Choral Celebration Network Foundation takes place at the CTICC this weekend is attached. It promises to be a great experience! Furthermore, the Hugo Lambrecht Concerto Festival and the Johan de Vos Competition have been attached.
In a world where things are progressively becoming more complex and unpredictable, music remains a wonderful human activity. In the film: The Only Girl in the Orchestra, is is stated that music connects one with one’s inner self.
Music is not only an artistic endeavor. It's complex brain functions stir profound inner emotions, leading to a sense of well-being.
After each Monday evening rehearsal of Con Spirito Philharmonic, I feel revitalized especially after a tiring day. I leave feeling as though I can conquer any challenge that lies ahead.
Instruments
Pianos
29 March, the 88th day of this year, is International Piano Day. Please watch our social media for specials that Allmusic offers!
So-called piano tuners that tune with electronic instruments are not professionally trained and cause that some registers (especially the top) is not in balance.
Nothing can replace the acute aural perception of a properly trained piano tuner!
Woodwind & Brass Instruments
Karl Coetzee at Allmusic does excellent work in repairing all Woodwind and Brass instruments.
Trekklaviere
Compared to the number of Accordions that are tuned and repaired by André van Vuuren at Allmusic, it is remarkable how many play this wonderful instrument.
Piano Services
To rent a Piano for a beginner is a better option than purchasing an electronic keyboard. Allmusic has several rental pianos available, and quite a number on sale.
Tune your piano at least once a year and it will maintain a good condition.
In our well-equipped workshop, we refurbish Pianos completely – ready for the next generation.
For any enquiries, give us a call (021 981 5551).
