JodyJazz Story - What makes JodyJazz Special? Cool Stuff Innovative state of the art design and production, 3D modeling, CNC Multi Axis Machines, Craftsman detailed hand work. The Right Stuff Quality Control that only passes mouthpieces that look great, measure great and most importantly play great. That's why we have a 7-point inspection test that every mouthpiece must pass before it is approved including the magnified look test, measure test, pop test, and the all important play test. Jody Espina In 1999 Professional NYC Musician/Jazz Educator Jody Espina, met legendary saxophonist and mouthpiece maker Santy Runyon. Runyon ( see Runyon's bio) was the teacher of Espina's boyhood teacher Junie Ferrell. Jody recognized the unique energy and spirit of Santy and Santy recognized Jody's spirit and thirst for knowledge. Santy customized a mouthpiece to Jody's specifications and when Jody was in love with the mouthpiece it was Santy's idea to produce it for Jody and call it the JodyJazz mouthpiece. Word of Mouth Word got out about this special mouthpiece and orders started to pour in to Jody's New York City location. Although fully occupied as a player and teacher Jody saw the potential in a real business in mouthpieces, and over the next six years travelled to Opelousas, Louisina, seven or eight times a year. During this time Espina asked Runyon if he could prototype his own metal mouthpiece in the Runyon factory. Santy graciously agreed and gave Espina cartre blanche in the Runyon factory to work out a newly designed mouthpiece. With the indispensable help of Runyon employees Leroy Guilbeau and Blaine Moran Jody developed the ESP metal mouthpiece for all saxophones.

Hi everyone! This is Eizaz here and today I'm here to talk about something called a "minuet". No, not "minute", "minuet". For those of you who study classical music I'm sure you may be wondering what the word means, especially since so many songs that we learn have it as a title!

Basically a minuet is a classical European dance originating from France. Its name is adapted from the Italian word "minuetto" meaning (small/little/delicate - in today's language, cute). The minuet is usually found in 3/4 time, meaning three beats per bar, however some composers have written quicker minuets in the time of 3/8 or even 6/8.
One of the most famous composers to expand the minuet was the Italian composer Jean-Baptiste de Lully, and after him continued by the great composer Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederic Handel. As such many of the European Baroque dances soon fell out of popularity but the minuet survived in many forms and even found its way into full orchestra pieces which are still played until today.
Perhaps one of the most famous of minuets is Bach's Minuet In G, copied from the "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach", which was a collection of popular pieces of music at the time. It is interesting to note that Bach did not compose the music; the composer of the piece was recognized in the 1970s as Christian Petzold.
Enjoy this piece of lovely music which has lasted for centuries - and many more centuries to come!

Good day! I would like to share my journey to Hong Kong and China last weeks with all MTCS students, teachers and customers.First of all the mission is to visit the 12th China Musical Instruments exhibition.Before the exhibition we stop at London based Hong Kong's Madam Tussuad Wax Musuem.A day trip to Hong Kong is quite fun because of the tight schedule and cold weather. We manage to visit the musuem at 12.30pm ,about an hour ago after we landed Chep Lap Kok International airport.Is very convenient to travel in HK with systematic transportation network like MTR and City buses.The people they is very informative and quite helpful.We spend almost 3 hour at the musuem .Is an eye -opener for us , the wax statue is so real and we can't believe our eyes.Many celebraties, sportmans , statemans and legends were display there.Among them is Princess Diana, Mahamat Gandhi , Hitler, Angelina Jolie , Brad Pitt , Maddona , Mozarts ,Micheal Jackson , Elvis Presley , The Beatles ,Anita Mui , Jacky Chan , Bruce Lee , Tiger Woods and many more.We manage to take every picture with all of them.It looks so real and their craftsmanship is the finest in the world.You can't stop taking picture with them.After an amazing journey in the different attraction halls,we check out the the peak for the superb panoramic view of HK city.Later, we went to the Victoria harbour by The Star Ferry service, founded in 1888, and provides scenic views of Hong Kong's skyline for its 53,000 daily passengers to view the most popular HK TVB movie scene - Hong Kong Victoria harbour skyline.Then we took a train to China at night.
A day later we went to the exhibition hall for the World Musical Instruments exhibition , where about 350 musical instruments manufacturer, supplier, retailer ,lovers and entrepreneurs from all over China , Europe and USA had exhibit their products there.Many of the world's top brand like P.Mauriat , Selmer ,Fender ,Gibson , Cremona violins , Marshall ,Steinway and sons had their latest products display there.We can see gu-zheng , er-hu, violins , guitars, drums, pianos , woodwinds like saxophone, tuba , clarinets, African percussion , piano accessories , music books, flutes , accordion and many more.You name it , you see it.We are amaze to see their enthusiastism towards music.Everywhere people play, listen ,appreciate music .Non stop action and movement,from thousand of violins and guitars to hundreds set of drums, from classical voice to heavy distortion effect.This exhibitions is really for hard core musicians like all of you.Musicians are free to test all instruments there.You can test all violins , saxophones ,guitars and drums there and nobody going to stop u. Just whack whatever u like.I can just simply instruct any musician there for demonstration and they feel happy for it.I remember I have just call a young man to test the soprano saxophone from one of the manufacturer booth from Tianjin. Without any hesitation , he just grab the saxophone and play it , wow! This is awesome! You have a lot of freedom there.The manufacturer is happy to see you testing theirs instruments in his booth because your demo can help them sells their products.I think this is the right way in doing musical instruments business.Let the musician have unlimited test but there must be a mutual understanding where you can't simply playing around or making fun of their instruments.Belittle the instruments , sarcastism and criticism among the customers had prevented many Malaysian musical instruments entrepreneurs in Kuala Lumpur in practicing this method. In the afternoon we have stop at this Italian Luthier Marco Piccinotti violins booth and we manage to have a chat with him.He is friendly and outgoing.He invite us to his hometown in San Polo D'enza , Italy.Piccinotti is one of the top ten violin luthier in Italy where he inherited his family skills-the art of making violins.His violins price range from USD 10,000 to USD 50,000.Piccinotti is the one who try to venture the Chinese market and he even created name card ,brochure and leaflet with Chinese characters.Besides him, we met a Malaysian , Mr Lim -he is the supplier for African drums and percussions.He love African instruments and his passion towards this instruments is in infinity.He started to venture this business since 3-4 years ago and he is influcing the mainland Chinese to love the African instruments like djembes, mandinka and ngoma drums. In this expo,we manage to see a lot of latest products like the digital disc piano , colourful violins , digital accordion , digital er hu , antique violins ,latest digital tuner , distortion, stagg amplifiers, concert grand piano and many more.Of course we never seen so many music exhibitors in Malaysia before , is only happen in China , Germany & the America! For all your information , China is the biggest musical instruments manufacturer in the world now.Pearl River is the most sell-able pianos in the world and the music industry there is growing tremendously.With support of 1.5 billion people and their government together with one child policy, every parents are giving their child the best education and music education is part of their menu.I hope one day , Malaysia will have this scenario where all musicians can find their heaven here - variety of musical instrument exhibitors at same roof.We need more music educators, lovers and entrepreneurs to contribute towards Malaysia music industry especially the music education progress.Let's think about the bigger picture and work towards a better Malaysia. For us , is a great experience to visit this expo and will come back again next year.Together we make music education accessible to everyone.

Hi everybody! this is Eizaz here and I will be writing a series of articles about famous composers and their works, both for referance and for the reading interest of the students at Mama Treble Clef Studio. Today's article takes a look at the famed Mozart and the story of his life...
Who was Mozart? Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers and his influence on subsequent Western music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years." Mozart was born to his parents Leopold and Anna Maria Pertl Mozart in Salsburg, which is now the capital of Austria. His father Leopold was a minor composer, musician and an experienced teacher. An excerpt from his sister Nannerl's diary says: He often spent much time at the clavier, picking out thirds, which he was always striking, and his pleasure showed that it sounded good. [...] In the fourth year of his age his father, for a game as it were, began to teach him a few minuets and pieces at the clavier. [...] He could play it faultlessly and with the greatest delicacy, and keeping exactly in time. [...] At the age of five he was already composing little pieces, which he played to his father who wrote them down. Mozart's music, like Haydn's, stands as an archetypal example of the Classical style. At the time he began composing, European music was dominated by the style galant: a reaction against the highly evolved intricacy of the Baroque. But progressively, and in large part at the hands of Mozart himself, the contrapuntal complexities of the late Baroque emerged once more, moderated and disciplined by new forms, and adapted to a new aesthetic and social milieu. Mozart was a versatile composer, and wrote in every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata. These forms were not new; but Mozart advanced the technical sophistication and emotional reach of them all. He almost single-handedly developed and popularized the Classical piano concerto. He wrote a great deal of religious music, including large-scale masses: but also many dances, divertimenti, serenades, and other forms of light entertainment.
Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated composers of all time, Mozart was laid to rest on the 5th of December 1791, at the St Marx cemetery outside the city of Salsburg. His birthday is celebrated every year in the form of performances and carnivals, with the 250th celebration in the year 2006.

Some of the common damages that happens to a violin are:

* The tailpiece might break.
* The fingerboard might come unglued.
* The bridge of the violin might snap.
* The bow might snap.

Here are some tips on how to take care of your violin:

Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Do not store your violin in or near areas that have extreme changes in temperature, such as in the basement or attic. Violins are very fragile instruments, when they are continuously exposed to temperature changes and humidity, it will eventually break and fall apart.

Good Storage
When you're not using your violin, put it inside a good quality case to ensure protection. Most damages a violin undergo is because of the owner's neglect, such as placing it in areas where it's more exposed to possibilities of damage (i.e. near the sink , fridge , cars or behind a bedroom door).

Too Much Rosin
Rosin is applied to the bow hair causing it to grip the violin strings when playing. Without it, the bow hair will slide across the string without producing any sound. There are two types of rosin: Light Rosin is best suited for warm climates. It's harder and not as sticky as the dark rosin. Dark Rosin is most suited for cool climates, it is softer than the light rosin. Avoid putting too much rosin on the bow as it will drip onto the violin and cause staining.

Invest on Quality Strings
Cheap strings will cause tension on the violin resulting in cracks, warping and other damage.

Do Not Ignore Minor Problems
If you notice a slight damage on your violin, don't wait. Go to an experienced repairman or luthier immediately. Most damages that start out little become huge, not only to the violin, but also to your wallet.
