Live on Kickstarter, The Musician’s Notebook is an All-In-One Learning 
Tool for Music Students and Educators

San Francisco, California, United States - January 18, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

The Musician’s Notebook, the revolutionary new all-in-one learning tool for both music students and educators from Powerful Piano, is live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life. 

As anyone who has ever attempted to learn a music discipline of any sort can attest— staying organized can be difficult. Things learned in harmony lessons that need to be referenced during music history for example can lead to wasted time and frustration in the way of true mastery. Even taking notes or attempting to write sheet music on different types of paper often means spending more time locating the information than actually learning it.

“Music education has been divided into too many books and notebooks! This is unnecessarily expensive, creates challenges keeping track of everything, and also impossible to take good notes on musical concepts. As a music student I realized these issues quite quickly and was frustrated throughout my education dealing with these issues. As a piano teacher for over a decade, I've seen my students deal with the same issues for years!” says founder and CEO James Daly on the inspiration behind the project. “I saw students neglecting parts of their work not because of laziness but because of how cumbersome it was to learn and reference concepts from our lessons. I originally made the first version of the 'Musician's Notebook' to help my students. After seeing how effective it was, I put significant time into making it as comprehensive a text as possible. Now every student I teach uses their notebook in every lesson.”

Founder James Daly is not what most might picture when they imagine a ‘classical musician.’ From a high school dropout student to a full ride UC Berkley scholarship, Daly has defied the odds in a groundbreaking career that has taken his musical talent to multiple countries, having his compositions commissioned and performed by universities and starting his own school, San Ramon Academy of Music. His company, Powerful Piano, is inspired by his own story with a mission to empower aspiring musicians to succeed without being burdened by financial constraints.

The Musician’s Notebook works to accomplish this by offering an all-encompassing book that includes simple to understand reference materials for core theory concepts, introduction to music for analysis, introduction to composition and custom formatted manuscript paper for composing and theory homework.

“Like many pursuits steeped in history and tradition, music has been slow to innovate how it is taught and how students learn. Music education and classical music in particular can be very elitist and insular communities. A student's musical pedigree and ability is often used as a status symbol instead of what it should be; a celebration of the transcendent power that music wields upon the human condition,” adds Daly. “The 'Musician's Notebook' is meant to be an important step in shattering these limiting paradigms. This book is a powerful tool for all levels of music students. Whether someone is self taught, has a teacher, is a complete novice, or a seasoned pro, this book is a cost effective resource for exponentially growing musical comprehension and ability.”

Brewers fans flock to the Trop, eager to celebrate the franchise's first World Series title

Brewers fans flock to the Trop, eager to celebrate the franchise's first World Series title

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — A large group of Brewers fans gathered in a parking lot outside Tropicana Field more than four hours before the first pitch of Game 4 of the World Series, sipping on Wisconsin beers and preparing for a potentially historic night. The Brewers needed one more win to celebrate the first World Series title in franchise history. “We’re ready to party,” a man wearing a pinstriped, white William Contreras No. 24 jersey said. With Milwaukee leading the Tampa Bay Rays 3-0, a celebration seems inevitable. Of the 43 previous major league teams to fall behind 3-0 in any best-of-seven postseason series, only the 2004 Boston Red Sox rallied to win four straight games when they beat the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. Brewers fans have been waiting for this moment since 1970 — the franchise began as the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and moved to Milwaukee a year later. Thousands of fans made the trip from Wisconsin to Florida and sat among the cowbell-ringing Rays crowd on Monday night. Most were sitting behind the visitors’ dugout and along the third-base line, and they had plenty to cheer about in a 10-1 victory. “The atmosphere here with the amount of Brewers fans, you can feel it, and it started in batting practice yesterday,” Milwaukee’s Garrett Mitchell said Tuesday. “Just like when we were stretching, you could hear it. It was lots of ‘Let’s go Brewers’ chants. To have that on the road, pretty special. Pretty special.” Even more Brewers fans were expected for Game 4 because their team is on the verge of a championship, and the Rays need to defy historical trends just to shift the series back to Milwaukee. There have been 25 teams that took a 3-0 lead in the World Series. Of those, 21 finished the sweep in Game 4, and the remaining four won the series in Game 5. The cheapest ticket available for Game 4 was $900, according to ticket marketplace TickPick. A total of 41.3% of all purchases for Game 4 have come from Wisconsin, compared to 30.5% from Florida and 3.4% from Illinois, according to TickPick. A fan wearing a powder blue, No. 19 Robin Yount jersey held a broomstick in the parking lot, anticipating a sweep. Once the gates opened, there was a loud “Let's go Brewers” chant when players began stretching in left field. As the stadium began to fill about an hour before the first pitch, it appeared there were more Brewers fans than Rays fans in the stands. They filled the area behind Milwaukee's dugout and screamed when the players walked back to the clubhouse. “It was awesome,” Brewers captain Christian Yelich said after Game 3. “They were really loud from batting practice on throughout the game. I said it a bunch, but they brought it this year in Milwaukee and on the road. We understand how much this team and our performance affects people’s happiness in Milwaukee and how many memories have been made over the years watching Brewer baseball, watching us play, whether that’s among family, the friends, parents, grandparents, whatever it may be. So, I know this team doesn’t take that lightly and I understand that our team means a lot to people and it’s a big reason why we press so hard about that.” And for those who didn't make the road trip, American Family Field in Milwaukee sold out a watch party for 31,000 fans. Milwaukee’s only previous trip to the World Series in 1982 ended in heartbreak when the Brewers blew a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning of Game 7 and lost 6-3 to the St. Louis Cardinals. Pat Murphy’s team is trying to finish what Harvey Kuenn’s star-studded crew couldn’t accomplish. Harvey’s Wallbangers had five Hall of Famers: Yount, Paul Molitor, Ted Simmons, Don Sutton and Rollie Fingers. But Fingers missed the postseason with a forearm injury. They also had Hall of Famer Bob Uecker in the broadcast booth. “I think it’s just about the Brewers, it’s about the city of Milwaukee, it’s about the state of Wisconsin all coming together,” Murphy said. “We all play a role. It’s wonderful to all be together. Hopefully we continue to play well enough to win.”
