DABANGG arrived with a bang and not just broke the opening weekend record of 3 IDIOTS but also turned out to be the second highest grosser in the history of Hindi cinema by doing business in the excess of 140 crores net. Now comes Salman Khan’s READY and after watching the film’s promos, trade is already pegging it to be next Salman blockbuster that would at the least top 100 crores mark.
“It is simple maths actually instead of any assumption, guess work or wish-list”, says a director who has worked with Salman in the past, “When a film of his comes after such a huge gap, in this case as much as 9 months after DABANGG, the craze is bound to be manifold.”
Now with promos of READY being out, it is obvious that the makers are playing to his DABANGG image. They are unabashedly selling Salman of his post-Dabangg image, what with numerous references to his 2010 cop action drama by means of mannerisms (sunglasses placed in collar), dialogues (never under estimate I, me and myself) and body language (ever-so-flamboyant). No one seems to be thinking about what really is the story of READY with it being presented as a Salman Khan show-reel.
CHECK OUT: Salman launches the music of READY in Hatke style
Bhushan Kumar, producer of READY, promises that there is much more to follow though. “‘Character Dheela’ is already a rage and ‘Humko Pyaar Hua’ has just been released. Now just wait for ‘Dhinka Chika’ and you would know what READY is all about. Everything about the film is as commercial as it gets. We have the plans laid down.”
We look forward to them unfolding soon Bhushan. No one minds a blockbuster bringing smiles back for Bollywood.
Music is the key to a thousand emotions. We associate music with the places I have been, the time that we knew and people in our lives. The music is everywhere. There is no denying the effectiveness of music, why not use it to influence our emotions and enhance our personal environment? Soothing music, relaxation music, meditation music … you name it. There is no doubt that we can help shape our environment effectively and can be changed in function or influence our mood.
In today society, where there is radio, television, movies or the Internet, we are exposed to music. The music is all around us, and it is good so important that we have used in almost all companies in the world to sell their products and services. Very often we are completely unaware of the sounds drifting in the shops, speakers, or the impact of drama and action movie soundtrack to an advertisement inserted in the machine. The music is a complex language that can convey any emotion or provoke any reaction from the public. At the same time, the music is simple and intuitive.
We are accustomed to others to use music to influence our emotions and therefore decisions. However, rarely use the benefits of music to help us. Soothing music or relaxation music (also Marketta as music for meditation or yoga to music) can be used to relieve stress, relax after a hard day’s work, and promote good sleep or a house or concentration during yoga meditation. As a composer, the idea of relaxing music fascinated me. For many years I have studied the benefits of music for health and wellness. Music is only part of the relaxation, but may be the key to calm and relax the mind and body.

A person who plays by ear is someone who plays songs they already know, and he relies heavily on listening to chords and chord progressions to play his music.
A person who plays by ear can also be someone who is able to instantly play back any songs they hear from listening to a CD or radio without the need of music notations. We say this person has good ears as he can reproduce the melody that he hears without written music.
To learn to PLAY BY EAR, we need to first acquire the basic skills to start playing songs that we already know. As our ability to play by ear develops, we will grow to the point where we are able to instantly play what we hear from a music recording.

Start the song with Middle C. Yes.
Sing the song and try to match the white keys to the tones that you hear. As you hear the pitch going higher, you move your finger to the right. As you hear the pitch going lower, you move your finger to the left.
