The Best of 2016… The Digital Edition

Christmas has come and gone and a new year has begun. We’ve had our fill of roast dinners and mulled wine; gone for winter walks and roasted chestnuts by the fire; we’ve danced 2016 away. In conclusion, we’ve wrapped up what could only be described as a questionable year in style.

But as all eyes turn to the 2017 – and because we love lists – we wanted to give 2016 a proper send of… the digital way.

THE MUST-HAVE APP FOR MUSIC THEORY BEGINNERS

Learning music theory is like learning an entirely new language. We’ve all been there, and we’ve all had to struggle through. The Music Theory for Beginners app, however, brings it all together with lessons, interactive quizzes, and badges for when you get it right (because, who doesn’t love a badge!).

Quite simply, the most comprehensive music theory tool in the app store, this is a must for any music theory beginner.

THE EBOOKS THAT FIND THE MUSIC FOR YOU

You read about a musician, or a specific song and, suddenly, it’s all you can think about. Your brain will not rest until said song has been listened to from start to finish at least a dozen times.

To make life a little easier, these whizzy eBooks have done the work for us. With Spotify playlists for each chapter, you can listen to the songs you read about with no fuss.

The Lyrics of Leonard Cohen	When The Screaming Stops: The Dark History Of The Bay City Rollers

LEARNING MUSIC ON THE GO

The Musicroom Digital app has all our digital sheet music needs covered. With instant access to 100,000’s of titles, we have no more excuses for forgetting our sheet music… Or not learning the latest big hit… Or just enjoying music, in general.

However good (or bad) our year was, these were just a few things that helped us get through. So cheers 2016, you’ve been great! Now it’s time to gear up for the next and, as always, rely on our favourite tunes to get us through!
