ACE: For all those frustrated budding musicians out there, Arts Council England’s Take it away scheme has commissioned 5 exclusive online tutorials of hit songs. The tracks have been produced by Show Me How To Play using their unique ‘Multiplayer’ software which helps you learn your part, while playing along with the rest of the band. All 5 songs have been cleverly arranged to strip down separate parts for a variety of instruments and are suitable for musicians & vocalists of all abilities.
The tracks have been commissioned by ACE as part of a unique partnership with children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent. Users are invited to make a donation of 50p for each tutorial which goes directly to CLIC Sargent as part of their ‘Practice-a-thon Music’ campaign.
Users wanting to get more involved are encouraged to put their musical talents to good use by organising a sponsored practise or even put on a fundraising gig in aid of CLIC Sargent.
