Hi all

Well I've waited for something like this to come along and finally it's here. What am I talking about? It's a resource center for all keyboard and piano players not to mention guitar players and musicians of all leanings. It's a new community-based web site just released, and it's called The Hear and Play Musicians Zone. This website has been specifically designed to help you advance your piano playing/musicianship and help you reach all of your musical goals a lot faster. Basically it's a beautifully designed musician's forum complete with ... ok here's just a quick listing of just some of what's available to you when you join up:

Once you're done, you can start taking advantage of all the benefits the Musician's Zone has to offer such as:

• Search for musicians according to several characteristics like music experience, style, age, city, country, interests, and more.
• Add musicians to your friends list and keep in touch with them on a regular basis.
• Create a full profile page that's viewable by thousands of musicians - share your photos, music, and knowledge with the world.
• Upload up to 10 photos that you can share with the world. If you know how to use html, you can post even more than that.
• Explore: Audio Lessons Videos
• Submit Articles / Midi / Mp3s / Original Songs and Tunes / Videos!
• Interact: Forums Chat
• Messaging Search Members
• Learn to play the piano by networking with tons of accomplished musicians immediately.
• Meet both old and new friends and connect with those of all walks of life who share a lot of the same interests and ideas.
• Find musicians to learn and practice with by searching through our directory of member profiles.
• Get instant access to professional musicians through our interactive message board.
• Reconnect with those from your past, join with the ones you hang out in the NOW!

It's certainly a unique resource, and as you would expect from Jermaine, Brian and all at the Hear and Play team, oozing with quality! "Fair play to 'em" as we say in Ireland! Here's a link to have a look: Go to the Hear and Play Musicians Zone
