Everybody In Love’ is so in need of its own ‘HRNK’ - that international sound effect of the quite good pop tune - that it actually opens with the sound of a rave horn. You cannot say fairer than that.

Lyrically this single doesn’t quite pack the full-on dancefloor melodrama of ‘Beat Again’’s “if I died would you come to my funeral” portion but it’s still a bit over the top (”every minute’s like an hour, every hour’s like a day”) and the song also shows off a little more of JLS’ knack for jolly warbles and amazing arm-wavy breakdowns. You can read the JLS Everybody in Love lyrics on their official site.

‘Everybody In Love’ recalls the better parts of the Another Level back catalogue - there were some better parts, even if history opts to ignore them - and if you consider this track alongside ‘Beat Again’ then take some sort of average of the two you might have an idea where the album should be heading. Where it’s heading, readers, is to a good place. We are so certain that it will reach its destination - and that it will get there on time - that we can only conclude it is using sat nav.

JLS have quickly secured their place as the UK’s favourite boyband and are soon to release their second single, the follow-up to their #1 smash hit, Beat Again.

What is it that a beginner at the piano wants to do? They want to make music! It might be classical, jazz, or something else, but one thing’s for sure; they don’t want to spend months studying boring theory.

What if instead of studying note reading, beginners piano lessons were focused on the student actually learning how to create music? Just imagine the excitement when the notes and chords played are all original and express what is actually being felt.

I don’t know why piano teachers start their students off on note reading. It’s boring, unnecessary for most students, and really doesn’t help the student create anything at all. In fact, you could say that by learning to note read, students are speaking the language of music without really understanding the underlying grammar and syntax - which has everything to do with chords!

Chords are where the excitement lies. And when the beginning piano student starts to play chords on the piano, it naturally leads to music making.

Beginning guitar players don’t have the same problems as newbie piano players. They expect to be able to create something that sounds like music immediately. This isn’t to say that learning the guitar or any instrument does not require serious study. It is to say that one need not spend thousands of hours learning note reading while the world of music is only a few chords a way.

Beginners piano lessons should be exciting! They should inspire students to want to study the art of music further. And they should be easy enough where the beginning student is not easily discouraged.
