My Horrible Music Magazine Experience


Long before online music magazines that could easily be found at an online music store existed, many music students found them at their favorite shopping mall. One such person was a student of mine many years ago. At the beginning of one of his lessons several years ago, he showed me a copy of a guitar magazine that he had purchased then asked me to explain why an article was written in a manner that did not make any sense. I responded by saying that I did not know and that it did not make any sense to me either. 

A few weeks later he showed up at a lesson with the most recent edition of the magazine then proceeded to open it to the editorial page. After his previous lesson with me, he decided to write an editorial to the magazine which named myself and him as people who didn’t understand what the magazine was doing. Unluckily for me, the magazine had decided to print his editorial. 

Now I tell my students to purchase online music magazines from an online music store. Hopefully, this will prevent the same situation from ever happening again!
