VEJJS Last Show

I felt it imperative that I try to get the word out their as much as possible so here it is:



VEJJS will be having their last show before they embark on an indefinite hiatus! The show will be this Thursday at Bar35 from 9:00-late. For anyone looking to see some quality rock/blues/funk, you owe it to yourself to see this awesome band before it's too late. Tight grooves and tasty guitar playing all night! Hope to hear the Abbey Road medley guys!

Early Childhood Development in Music

An excerpt from Music and Intelligence in the Early Years by John M. Feireraband:

As we learn to use our minds, we process information through certain conditioning. If, for example, we learn music as a logical/mathematical exercise-such as learning to play an instrument through reading, decoding the relationships of symbols, and hence using the instrument to hear music-we establish pathways that will understand music only from this intellectual framework. If, however, the musical mind is engaged in early stimulation through such activities as hearing and responding to music through singing and movement and playing by ear, then we stimulate music intelligence. Stimulating music intelligence appropriately from the earliest experiences is necessary if the pathways are to be built to understand musical phenomena from a musical perspective. An individual who can read a piano score with few errors but cannot express music by ear on the keyboard has learned to use his/her logical/mathematical intelligence rather than his/her music intelligence to understand musical phenomena.

For those of you who have been following the life of Broke Aesthetic: I would like to personally thank you for supporting us and our music. Broke is on hold at the moment. With Mike's current move to Japan and Max's current hiatus the future of Broke is undetermined.
We were very fortunate to have a good run and I'm glad of all the successes along the way.

If your looking for House of Bones please send an email to brokeaesthetic@gmail.com and I will mail you a copy (Thank you to those who are waiting for their copy! They are enroute!).

I intend to continue making noise and writing music. I will continue to post my work here with upcoming shows and recordings I am working on. Thanks for reading and supporting local music!
