"Sabrina has contributed significantly to Easy Ear Training's music education projects over the last two years. Through her articles on our website she has explored a wide variety of interesting topics in contemporary aural skills development. Without exception Sabrina has brought positivity and enthusiasm to her role, while consistently delivering superb work on or ahead of schedule. Her work is characterised by imagination balanced with scientific rigour. She can generate innovative and inspiring new ideas and then back them up with logical argument and evidence from research. Her talent for teaching comes through strongly in her written work. She has become an important part of the Easy Ear Training team, and I always look forward to working on projects with her." - Christopher Sutton, Easy Ear Training.com

"Priceless Insight! Having worked on my album for so song, I lost perspective and needed a music pro with fresh ears, an open mind and a diverse skillset. I was lucky to find Sabrina who is well-versed in the arts of music, recording and production. I received a very prompt response and it was quickly clear that Sabrina knows her stuff. Candid, but objective, her feedback was invaluable! I am so thankful for the detailed, thoughtful critique. Highly recommended!" Composer Michael Patrick Devine

“[Libertaria] was a heroic effort, and the level of singing in the animated opera was very high...It sounds like a graphic novel, and it looks like one, especially with its cartoon balloons taking the place of supertitles. As a story, it is very much in line with the good-vs.-evil sci-fi tradition, with the added bonus of a plucky female heroine…There are a good many percussion effects in the opera, and its tone is primarily quite dark and sinister, very much along the lines of a contemporary video game score.” Palm Beach Arts Paper Music Critic Greg Stepanich.

"Excellent feedback and marketing ideas Sabrina gave not only valuable critique for each of my songs but also a number of great marketing ideas that more or less helped me to narrow down to a few strategies that would be most effective for my situation. It will save me a lot of time and money to know where to focus my efforts. Highly recommended!" Composer Peter Garnvik

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of  the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
