\u00a0At Amateur Music Network we wear the \u201camateur\u201d label with pride. The word comes from Latin\u2014remember\u00a0<\/span>amo<\/i>,\u00a0<\/span>amas<\/i>,\u00a0<\/span>amat<\/i>?\u2014and it originally meant \u201csomeone who has a love of something.\u201d For us, it still has that meaning. Love of music is what we\u2019re all about.Think about your own love of music. Perhaps you played with a toy xylophone or took Suzuki violin lessons or were offered a free clarinet from the school orchestra. Did you sing in the church choir? Play drums in your friends\u2019 rock band? Become a regular at karaoke night?<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you took it further: A music-theory class in college. A stint in a community orchestra before parenthood or career became too demanding. Some private piano lessons because you really<\/i> wanted to learn those Chopin waltzes. You don\u2019t even have to play music to love music. Every time you listen to music it opens a door to your imagination. We all know the world of feeling that music evokes. Singing along in the car, in the shower, while you do the chores\u2014that’s music-making!<\/p>\n

\u00a0But wait: there’s more!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Is it time to pick up that clarinet that’s been in the back of your closet since high school? To brush up your scales on that violin you used to love so much? To join a ukulele club and learn to strum some chords? Or if you are an active music-maker, to try something new like bluegrass, or Brazilian, or the blues?<\/p>\n

Whatever your passion, Amateur Music Network can help you find a pathway to music-making that\u2019s right for you. We\u2019re here for you when you\u2019re starting out, and we’re here when you’re ready to make a deeper commitment, too. Our workshops and conversations<\/a> bring some of the best musicians and mentors in the music world to your desktop or phone. And our listings<\/a> include teachers, coaches, and fellow musicians who can inspire and challenge you.<\/p>\n

Look, it\u2019s been a tough year. Not being able to gather in person has been sad and hard. But music sustains us and gives us hope. It\u2019s what we love, and you know what the song says: love will keep us together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the fall season\u2014the perfect season to fall in love with music!<\/p>\n
