A song for transcribing!

Hello everybody!

Iria shared this link to Love of my life, a Queen's song that appeared in their 1975 album A night at the opera.

It is a very good song, in my opinion, and it will make a good challenge for beginning players by hear!

Don't worry if the intro and the instrumental interludes between the verses seem daunting. Just leave those parts alone and proceed to the sung parts. Then you can fill the blanks together.

Enjoy!

Love of my Life (Queen, 1975)

Demystifying Conducting: The Connection Between Gesture and Music | The New York Times

I know this is a little off-topic, but I don't care much. I thought it should be interesting to watch for any musician and music lover. This is also fun to watch, because the technologies used allow to visualize the idea and importance of gestures in music 

In fact, strictly speaking, musical gesture is not off-topic. Gesture is part of music, and what makes music embodied, human and expressive. Alan Gilbert, music director of the New York Philharmonic, demonstrates and discusses the role of a conductor, and how every little movement is meant to mean something for the musicians.

Well, maybe you are not a conductor, but you are the "conductor" of your instrument, so the same rules applies!
