John Lettieri Music

This broadcast is about "listening"; not only to music, but also the listening to sounds we all experience, throughout our day.  In addition, as always, I include an accordion solo piece, composed, performed and recorded by me this week, in the Dixieland Style, entitled:  Bus Station.

Today's topic is:  READING (not only music, but reading the written word!)  I am convinced that a musician is encouraged to read new music daily, which is an important part of the practice routine.  READING will help to improve the development of many related skills and understanding in Music.  READING the written word daily will increase your knowledge and enjoyment of our precious world; and add so much inspiring value to our life-journey.  A new Accordion solo piece, composed, performed and recorded by me will follow:  ALEGRIA is a wonderful piece created in the Brazilian Choro style. Thank you for your continued support.  I hope you are enjoying the broadcasts I post weekly.

This show talks about the importance of research and how this knowledge, and deeper understanding can influence your performance; quite possibly reaching a higher more sophisticated level of artistry, while making new discoveries and adding to the enjoyment of music-making.  Then, I present a new piece of music, composed, performed and recorded this week, inspired by the sounds of Middle Eastern Music, entitled:  Mysterious, Magical Dance.

This Broadcast continues to share personal experiences and information about the music festival, part 2.  A new Accordion Solo piece is presented after the speaking portion of this Show, entitled:  Simple Dance.

Thank you for listening.  In this Part One Episode, I talk about the music festivals I experienced as a young music student in the 1970's to the early 1980's.  For me, the music festival provided a challenge and motivation.  Following this first part of this particular festival theme, I present a new piece of music, composed, performed and recorded this week, entitled:  Sonata in G, based on the Classical approach to writing music.

Good evening, I hope you are well.  This broadcast includes a bit about my past, in addition to talking about learning music by ear.  At the end, I present a new composition, performed and recorded by me, entitled:  Medieval Castle.

Thank you for listening to my podcast.  Please, if you have any feedback to share, send your message to [email protected]

This show talks a bit about my personal journey with music learning, and shares ideas about learning / performing music by ear.  In addition, I present a new composition, performed and recorded by me, titled: Slightly Beyond.  Thank you.

This Broadcast Show No. 9 is about reviewing past music performances; and designing a mental visualization (picture) to evaluate all the features about each performance, so that you can modify and adjust your practice routine to help improve and develop your skills and understanding.

This Show presents the theme: Visualization, and a bit about how I use this technique to help in practicing & performing Music.  Then, I present a new Accordion solo piece, composed, performed and recorded by me to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, titled: A Tear of Joy.  Thank you.

This broadcast continues to share additional ideas about practicing music, and is applicable to all musicians who want to learn more about music.  Then, before closing the show, I present another new accordion solo piece, composed, performed and recorded by me, entitled:  Epic Movie Fantasy.  Please join me next week, with more to share about practicing! Thank you for your continued support.
