About oliveriancross.com
This blog site is about learning to play from books. It can be done but only if you want to do the work. Private teachers are great too but the good ones also teach from books and usually have done quite a bit of reading and hard work themselves to be able to do what they do.
A person who does not read is no better than a person who is cannot read.
Virtually everything that anybody wants to know about anything (especially things that people have been doing for a long time) has already been written down in a book somewhere and the biggest indicator of success or failure in any venture is usually a persons reading habits. I believe music is no different and when it comes to teaching or learning music I don’t believe in gimmicks or so-called quick paths to overnight ability. I do believe in good old-fashioned tried and true unpretentious method books and theory books that make no attempt to sugar coat the hard work involved in learning to play an instrument.
Right now the site only has the basics of music theory but in time there will be lessons and playing methods taken right out of the pages of already written books. The goal is to give the reading student enough knowledge and theory to demystify music books so that they will realize the wealth of information contained in these books. much of this information has been worked out by very talented people over the last hundred years and can only be found in books. Books are where the science behind how music works is to be found and not just gimmicks or uneducated ideas.
