I recently imported some music into my "iTunes Music" folder on my computer. When I open iTunes, the music isn't in my library. How do I make sure the music I put into the correct folder shows up in my iTunes library and is playable and burnable? Thanks.
Music Missing in iTunes Library...but in "iTunes Music" Folder?
Simple, go into itunes... 1) click on file 2) click on Add file to libaray or Add folder 3) and browes through there till you find your itunes music folder and open it, and it shall import it into itunes...
Good luck
Reply:Try adding a folder not a file... good luck and happy new years Report It

Music schools with good music history programs?
I am going to be going to music school and am looking for universities with good programs for music history and early music studies, which will be part of my focus along with music performance. Does anyone know of any? Is anyone attending schools with strong programs in these areas?
Music schools with good music history programs?
Early music in musicology is usually a graduate level program but some of the following have such outstanding musicology programs that many undergrads pull their electives from mus. history or major applied in early music performance practice. Several of these offer early music and musicology emphasis in their BA/BM in music.
This isn't all inclusive but lists the "big names" in early music right now.
Indiana U. (especially keyboards)
Boston U.
Duke U.
Eastman (among the best for wind players)
Florida State U. (outstanding early ensembles)
New England Conservatory
NYU
Oberlin (among the best)
Peabody Conservatory
U. Michigan
U. North Texas (you have to at least check this out)
Yale (it's Yale)

look in your recycle bin to see if you can recover it
if not then you have to redownload

Reply:Try to locate and use the restore mode. You may be able to restore your system to a date before the death of your music. Good luck.
Reply:Hi,

From now onwards do like this when u download any song video or anything from limewire or Morpheus, therez a option in the bar there - cancel / resume /pause / preview / Explore / clear inactive.

Reply:Sounds like you deleted all your files. I would suggest getting a second drive and running it in your comp or getting an external drive and using that for file space. In this way you can always make copies of your music and important files to the other drive as a backup and you are much less likely to lose everything.
Reply:go to your recycling bin on your computer and right click then just move it back

its a 30 day trial no spyware or bugs in it.

Music In the elementary schools; save the music! help me please?
I am writing a platform essay about the need for music in our elementary schools. What are some suggestions for what I can propose to do about the problem of schools eliminating music in our schools? What are some reasons why you think music is an important thing to have in an elementary school? My essay is titled "Music Makes the Difference"
Music In the elementary schools; save the music! help me please?
Well it makes kids have a place where they can grow and learn about classical music place where they can fit in.
it helps them learn to be in a group and also
take leadership
It gives opportunities: if a child does want to take music lessons and the parents can not afford it the school is giving that child an opportunity that he would of never of had if not for the school.
It will bring the class mates closer together because they will be like a family.
there you go some key points hope this helps you.
GOOD FOR YOU I AM SOO PROUD OF YOU AND I HOPE YOUR PARENTS /GUARDIAN IS ARE ALSO
Reply:Music can do a lot of things for you. it
-helps you with setting goals.
-makes you a better thinker.
-gives you talent- hello! everyone wants it.
-helps when you are stressed out [relaxes you].
-is something that cannot be taken away from you.
-children aren't wasting their time on useless activities. *cough cough* Myspace *cough cough*
-it can help you on your college application.
and i dont know what else!
Reply:Music programs have been relegated to "extra" status over the past many years. This is unfortunate because music is not just a luxury or a "fun" activity. Research has shown that children actually benefit (developmentally) from singing and (especially) playing musical games (for instance, London Bridge). If you want more information, check out the website below. I have been taking classes in Education Through Music for the past several years and find it makes a huge difference with my children.
Reply:It's said that students who do music perform better in mathematics than students who don't (and math is such a fundamental subject - with standardized testing and in the workforce when they grow up).
Reply:You should look up some research that connects music to brain development, I believe there is quite a bit. My father is a retired Music teacher and I believe the things we did at school as well as at home related to music greatly benefited my sister and myself, as well as helped to make us positive well rounded people.
At any rate, look up some research to support your stance.
Good luck!

How music is "learned"?
Two possible ways by which new music is learned:
A)Are musicians expected to be able to play a given song (on music sheet) by just looking at the sheet music for the very first time
In other words, is sheet music normally played "instantly", or....
B) Do musicians play a given song fluidly ONLY after Practicing the UNIQUE set of notes that make up that given song?
I want to by which of the two ways is new music (on music sheet) learned, normally,
Thank you very much for sharing your ideas
Waylen A.
How music is "learned"?
That's a good question, Waylen, the answer depends on how difficult the music is, and how skilled the musician.
If a piece of music is easy enough to play for a particular player, it possible to do so the first time he sees it. This is called "Sight-reading." The more music experience you have, the easier this becomes in general, but beginning musicians may not be able to sight read at all. It is difficult to describe the process of reading music to someone who is not experienced in it, but reading music and playing it is a dynamic skill, like riding a bicycle.
Of course, being able to practice and rehearse a piece ahead of time makes it MUCH easier to play since you are much more familiar with it. But the process of reading and playing remains the same, whether you are playing it for the first time, or you have had time to practice it.
So I guess the answer is, "both." You have to sightread every piece of music once, but some music is easy enough that you don't have to practice it.
It is also possible to commit a piece of music to memory so that you don't need the music in order to play it. This is the same as memorizing a poem or a chapter in a book.
Well I hope that answers your question.

Reply:The act of playing music as you read it for the first time is called sightreading. Each musician who can read music will sightread at their own skill level. Their skill level coupled with the difficulty of the music will determine the result.
It's the same as reading words. Some people will stumble over words if given a paragraph to read aloud on first sight. However, you could give the same paragraph to a radio DJ or a television announcer and get something that probably qualifies for broadcast.
Reply:Personally, I'm very good at sight reading, which is learning the music by looking at it for the very first time. But, I've been involved in music for 20 years. If someone isn't as experienced, they may need to practice the music. If they are experienced, though, a lot of times a musician can look at a piece without practicing and already know by looking at the notes what the song is going to basicly sound like.

I need help uploading music from my hard drive to my MySpace page.?
I have followed instructions from MySpace FAQ and other sources I have found to upload music to my page. However, I want to use a music file that I purchased which is not listed in
the MySpace Music library. I purchased the song from Sony Music Store Connect, and I have contacted them, and they advised it was legal for me to use the music as background music (not for download by others) on my page. It appears that the only way to upload music is from the MySpace Music library. My song is not listed there. I need to know if it is possible to upload directly from my hard drive, where the music is stored on my computer, to my page on MySpace, and how do I do this. The file also probably needs to be converted to MP3 it is currently in the format that Sony uses. I welcome any suggestions and thanks for your helo.

Yes you go to your account and you click upload music you browse your computer for the file if the song is legally yours it will upload.

Does Music Composed Via PC Music Software Have Less Respect Than Music Played By Instrumentalists In a Band?
What are your thoughts on the current technologies available for producing music? A lot of people now make music by connecting an audio keyboard to the PC and compose songs through a music program, but many don't even play the instrument, they merely input the notes they want played - Do you think making music this way is soul-less or are they on an equal footing with a musical artist who has taken the time to learn and master an instrument?
Does Music Composed Via PC Music Software Have Less Respect Than Music Played By Instrumentalists In a Band?
I guess it depends if the pc software requires you to compose with a virtual instrument.If all you have to do though is enter numerical values and then poof theres a song, yes that is lacking the talent involved with learning and playing a musical instrument.
Reply:to me and a lot of friend i know it is not we called it can music it take a lot of time to get a song right and a lot of love for music we work hard at mastering our instrument and playing them and there is a lot of soul put in to it so yes i would say it is soul-less
Reply:yes totaly it doesnt make music feel reel it doesnt teke talent
Reply:It's like cheating. My boyfriend has studied guitar since he was six and can play amazingly, but when a computer can create the same things he can... it takes all the value out of it. Like he wasted all that time studying for nothing.
