I can't honestly say I'm new to blogging. I'm not. It's true I'm not experienced, but I've had multiple blogs in my life. However, I'm fairly certain that my record for number of posts on a blog is two. Not exactly impressive is it? No it's not. Not at all. Blogging has never appealed to me over an extended period of time. Few things have. I always start, tell myself I'll finish, and then I don't. But there is one thing in life that has always appealed to me and always will. Music.
To me, music is the one true for of universal communication that anyone in the world could find a perfectly therapeutic under any circumstances imaginable (except for maybe being sentenced to death by monkeys. That one's pretty bad). Music is my life. There's not one day I don't think about it, listen to it, or play it. In fact I'm listening to music as I type this blog post. Anyway, as I said before I'm not exactly what you call an "experienced" blogger. So, to inform myself of music blogging, I did some research.
The first music blog I came across is a blog called "Consequence of Sound". They did an excellent job of the layout of the website, though they didn't really focus on the same thing that I would like this blog to be all about. While they talked a lot about music news, I would like to focus more on how music affects my life. The next blog I visited is appropriately titled "The Trumpet Player". I particularly liked this blog, because it focused mainly on things related to the instrument I play, the trumpet. It reviews many musical products and talks about things to help any musician. All of the posts were easy to read and it made the blog very "user friendly". One blog I did not like quite as much was a blog called MuuMuse. Though it was well laid out, it only focused on the types of music I don't enjoy and so it wasn't very appealing to me personally. Hopefully doing all this research on music blogs will help me to make my own.
