August 2021 Newsletter

August has certainly been a challenging month for many and I’m hopeful the end of winter also brings more certainty and stability to everything we do.  A huge shout out to everyone working so hard to keep us safe and to those who have once again had to deal with lost work or sudden changes to the way they can work. 

As we head towards the end of Term 3 I wanted to highlight some great new products which are not only fantastic value but will also make life easier.  Who needs to be restricted by cables when going wireless is so easy now? 😀 Check out a couple of great options below.  We also have new releases, an 88 note digital piano that you’re going to love and a great special on one of my favourite series of books. 

Something for piano teachers – do you receive “The Piano Teacher” newsletters?  They are a fantastic resource and replaced the printed magazine that used to be posted out.  Click here to check out the latest edition which arrived in my inbox this week. It’s a great read.  You can also subscribe here so you don’t miss out on future issues.  It’s all free! 👍

Other Music is very proud to be a virtual sponsor of the ASME National Conference which was originally to be held in Hobart.  It’s now going online as many events and more details are listed below.

If you haven’t already, I’d love you to like the Other Music Facebook Page and follow us on Instagram.  

As always, feel free to contact me for any inquiries or questions.  I’m here to help.  And of course, you’re welcome to forward this email to any friends or family you think would benefit from hearing about Other Music!

How to easily go wireless!

Do you want the freedom to move around the stage or classroom without being “held back” by cables?  Don’t have a huge budget? These Aroma wireless units are just the things you’ve been looking for! Whether it be for a guitar, keyboard or microphone, they have one to suit.  Just plug one end into the instrument/mic and the other end into the amp/mixer.  Pair them and you’re all set to go.  

Andrew used 3 of the guitar ones during School of Rock for the kids’ instruments when they were playing live on stage and they worked a treat.  It gave them so much freedom to move around and rock out!   At only $189 it was much cheaper than using traditional wireless units. 

I also used the microphone one for Jesus Christ Superstar and the actors were able to do all of their choreography without worrying about tripping over leads etc. ✅  At only $269 it was significantly cheaper than a complete vocal wireless system.  One of the vocalists even bought it on the spot!

They both operate on a 5.8Ghz transmission so are able to deliver a pristine audio signal, without being subject to wifi interference.  You can also use up to 4 at the same time with a separate colour to indicate each channel.  Remarkable value!

What’s New This Month?

I know that I have mentioned it before but I do love opening the new release box every month. 📦 There are some music theatre titles, superhero themes and Star Wars instrumental play along collections, music technology textbooks and collections of the latest chart hits.  And that’s just a start. You’ll never guess but they are 20% off until the end of the month.😁  Just follow the green button to see what’s arrived.

NUX Digital Piano

Do you want a full 88 note keyboard with an incredible action, great sounds and the ability to play with headphones?  You don’t need to look any further than the NUX NPK10.  There are 5 different touch sensitivity settings, sound layering options, in-built effects, transposition, drum patterns, Bluetooth and much more.  All for a crazy $719, including delivery!  

It’s fantastic value for a school classroom or home studio so click on the green to check it out.  This special won’t last forever!

Library of Series

Grow your library with these comprehensive collections of the greatest music of all time!

I don’t remember when I got my first Library of Series book but it was a while ago and I can’t stop adding to the range. 🤷‍♀️ There are new titles coming out all the time and they include a fabulous collection of pieces in a wide range of genres – classical, pop, movies, etc.  Incredible value too so check out the range using the green button below.  This 20% off special finishes at the end of the month so don’t miss out!

Australian Society of Music Education National Conference 2021

While it would have been great to be there in person, Other Music is now very proud to be a virtual sponsor of the ASME XXIII National Conference.   

Wednesday September 29, Thursday September 30 and Friday October 1st 2021 – originally scheduled to be held in Hobart is now going virtual… 

The conference will still be held over three days, however, delegates will be able to access all sessions for up to 6 months after the conference.  The keynote addresses will be live-streamed and recorded, so delegates can access the recordings even if they can’t attend the live-stream.
