⟶ summary. you never expected to be drawn to your new guitar instructor, finding it hard to concentrate during lessons as your mind wanders. But what unfolds when you find yourself at his house for a lesson?

holy shit.

your breath hitched—eyes moving with reverence across the expanse of the shabby downtown studio you stumbled into. its wooden plank walls were adorned with numerous colorful guitars and basses. a breathtaking musical maze. timber stools had been meticulously placed amongst the lengthy isles, bringing you to a palatial library filled with guitar books.

your fingers ran along the straps of the acoustic guitar case resting snug against your back. as you wandered deep into the studio, your eyes bounced off of the unique furniture and decorative pieces scattered around the area.

you were quickly captivated by faint strumming echoing throughout the building, and with each venturous step inside, the sound seemed to intensify. you curiously spun around the corner of the last isle before halting—all of the air escaped your lungs as you stood, dumbfounded, in front of possibly the most ethereal boy you’ve ever seen.

he sat on a wooden stool, beat up air forces resting against the bottom. his back was hunched over a dark brown acoustic embellished with an intricate pattern along the sound hole—blue eyes trained on his fingers that expertly glided along the fretboard. wavy brunet hair peeked out from his black, lyrical lemonade beanie, and a thin silver chain rested neatly on his neck.

you must’ve startled the poor guy—he jumped after noticing your presence, nearly dropping the precious guitar in his hold.

“s-shit.” he mumbled, swiftly clearing his throat and adjusting his posture.

“i’m sorry about that. you must be my new student!” he smiled professionally before sticking his hand out,

he was your new guitar instructor?

you stretched out your own hand, his much larger one entirely engulfing yours as he shook it. your eyes lingered on his long fingers and neatly trimmed nails, his pretty hands were decorated with attractive veins and silver jewelry. you couldn’t help but imagine how they might feel inside of your pussy, your heart fluttered at the thought.

“my name is chris, nice to meet you.” he stated as he hopped off of his stool, carefully placing the guitar on a nearby stand.

chris. his name seemed so moan-able too, tumbling right off of the tongue like sweet honey.

fuck, everything about him was perfect.

“our lessons will be upstairs, in the private rooms.” your tummy flipped with excitement. you couldn’t trust yourself alone with him, fearing you might pounce on him the very moment he would shut the door behind you.

you followed him up the narrow staircase, the surrounding air tense with sexual frustration—at least for you. your gentle footsteps reverberated around the tapered space as chris led you to a roughed-up door ornamented with multiple stickers consisting of lyrical lemonade, guitars, music artists, you name it.

the interior, however, was plain and simple. holding only a tiny cabinet—filled with books you assume—and a couple of movie posters. two different guitars were leaned against the back wall, a normal acoustic, and a beautiful red electric one. chris chuckled next to you, observing your piqued interest.

“that one’s my favorite.” he nodded his head towards the cherry colored guitar.

“it’s so beautiful.” you remark. he smiled, gazing at you intently. after a sharp exhale, he reached for the acoustic guitar—preparing for your lesson.

the lesson itself was pretty uneventful to say the least, you couldn’t focus on a single thing that chris had instructed you to do, often finding yourself hypnotized by his plump lips or icy blue eyes.

truthfully, chris also found himself to be enamored by you. he found your fascination incredibly endearing. there was something about you that made him eager to learn more.

with each lesson, your bond undeniably deepened—the friendship blooming into something raw and beautiful.

and, with each lesson, chris wanted more. your cute giggles and lengthy conversations would no longer suffice. chris didn’t know what was wrong with him, he knew it was fucked up when he would catch himself slipping a hand past his waistband in the after hours, needy pants and whimpers leaving his desperate lips as his hand would wrap around his base—pretending that it was your own. he felt so dirty, so wrong.

you would be doing the same. pumping two fingers inside of your cunt whenever your mind would drift off to lewd, disgusting thoughts about your guitar instructor—his fingertips that would move so swiftly on the guitar strings would probably feel amazing rubbing against your puffy clit, plus his gorgeous face was way too perfect not to ride. just thinking about him made you giddy and immensely horny.

therefore, it was only natural that your heart would race upon receiving the text he sent you the following day.

the studio is closed today, we’ll have our lesson at my house if that’s okay with you.

*address*

a lesson at his house? you bit your nails nervously before smoothing your hand down the skimpy skirt you had planned to surprise him with. as you drove to his home, the atmosphere was suffused with unbearable silence, the prospect of being alone in his house making you nervous—you pictured him patiently waiting for you in such an intimate setting and it churned your stomach with anxiety.

you rang his doorbell and the door swung open almost immediately. chris’s eyes filled with lust the moment they landed on you, swallowing thickly as he caught sight of the skirt that wrapped so nicely around your thighs. he cursed at himself when he felt his dick grow in his pants.

“c-come in!” chris prayed that you somehow missed his obvious hard-on, stepping aside to allow you to enter while shielding himself with the door. he depravedly watched your hips sway with every step you took—knowing that he needed to control himself before he would make a mess in his pants.

“are we going to be over here?” you gestured towards the couch and small stool positioned in the center of the living room. chris nodded silently in response. what was he thinking? having the girl he fantasized about every night in his fucking living room? chris wished that he could go back in time—he wished that he never met you because fuck, you drove him insane.

and you weren’t stupid. you saw chris’s cock stir in his pants the moment you stepped foot inside, however you had to admit that you absolutely loved playing with him, doing things like stretching purposefully—exposing your navel to his hungry blue eyes.

you sat on the tiny stool, your plump thighs deliciously resting on the wood. chris wanted nothing more than to run his soft hands under your cami shirt—kiss your neck feverishly while grinding his painfully hard dick against you.

“i practiced this piece at home and i just can’t get this chord right.” you pulled your guitar from its case and hugged it tightly, wearing a pout on your face.

“will you help me chris?” you looked at him seductively from under your lashes, a tiny smirk carving its way onto your pink lips. chris gritted his teeth—you had to know what you were doing, right?

“uhm, yeah. this one’s a bar chord so you have to make sure that your pointer finger is pressing down on every string. like this.” chris adjusted his hand and you observed as his fingers curled perfectly around the guitar neck, you squeezed your thighs together in want before a brilliant, filthy idea struck you.

“hmm, i don’t think i get it” you frown, chris watched with wide eyes as you got up from your seat and alluringly strode towards him—moving his guitar out of the way so you could place your ass right on his erection. chris hissed from underneath you, still in shock as he hovered his hands over your hips. he wanted to thrust his hips against you so fucking bad, but he had to be professional. you just needed help, nothing more.

"can you show me now?" you set the guitar back on your lap and gently took hold of chris’s wrist, guiding his fingers to position them over yours on the fretboard. his fingers deftly directed yours to the correct position, while his other hand strummed the chord, its beautiful sound ringing in the air.

you softly bit your lip as you felt his breath tickling your neck, you could smell his aromatic scent—feeling him everywhere. his chest against your back, arms curved around your figure and cock pressing against your soaking wet cunt. you couldn’t help yourself as you ground your hips against his experimentally. chris gasped and placed his hands against you. fingertips curving around your hipbones so he could push your hips back onto his clothed cock. you held the guitar tightly as you rubbed your pussy against him. you felt as if you were going to explode, his teasing touch lingering on your sides.

fuck it.

you swiftly placed the guitar on the ground and flipped around—straddling him. his blue eyes greedily ran themselves down your body, landing on the spot where you intimately connected. your hands ruffled through his long messy hair before pulling at the lone strands—bringing your lips together with fervor. chris moaned, your teeth clashing and noses bumping as your heads nodded into the lust filled kiss.

chris’s hands traveled along your back, pressing gently against your skin as you wrap your arms around his neck and grind your body against him once more. your tits pressed onto him and your perky nipples grazed his chest every so slightly. you disconnected your lips with a soft smack, gazing lazily into each other’s eyes.

“tell me if it’s too much, yeah?” you huffed, placing your hands on his chest. chris hummed in response, eager for you to finally touch him. you leisurely removed yourself from his lap and perched in-between his thighs. your hands land on his belt, pulling it through the loops before yanking it off of his body. chris sat obediently, biting his lips raw—cheeks sprinkled rosy pink.

your fingers hooked themselves on his jeans, sliding them off with ease—and your mouth salivated at the sight of his pretty cock standing painfully against his abdomen, cute pink tip spurting beads of pre-cum. chris dropped his jaw as your thumb found his tip, sliding his slick along his cock. you place your lips on him and tenderly purse your lips around his slit before sliding him further down your throat. chris’s hands shoot to your hair, hips bucking helplessly while pretty little moans spew past his lips. you gently squeeze his balls against your fingertips as you watch him roll his eyes back in pleasure.

“f-fuck!” chris pants out, your acrylic nail slides its way along the base of his cock before you wrap your fingers around him, pumping him painfully slow while you hollow your cheeks. the movement of your hand gradually increases, constant squelches of chris’s slick filling the room. you pull away until your mouth was occupied with just his tip, sucking on it harshly and pushing his hips down when they would buck against your mouth, you observe his desperate gasps and pants as he got closer and closer to the edge.

it wasn’t long before lengthy, thick ropes of chris’s cum squirted down your throat. the slightly salty taste on your tongue ripping a moan from your lips, chris squirmed with overstimulation as the noise vibrated against his cock.

he looked so pretty with his face fucked out, lashes fluttering on his pink cheeks and chest heaving with every breath he took. you wanted to ruin him. please him so well that all he would be able to do is sit there and take it like a good boy.

you prod your fingers at his lips before pushing them past, watching as he sucked on them with hooded eyes—plump lips resting against your skin.

your lips curled into a smirk, abruptly pulling your fingers out and rubbing the palm of your hand against his sensitive tip. chris yelped and arched his back deliciously, body squirming against the couch as your palm pushed deeper. your fingers curled around him—digging your thumb in his slit. chris cried out, eyes pooling with tears of absolute pleasure. he squeezed them shut and sobbed, the welled up tears sliding down his cheeks as he came again. the warm spurts striking your hand and ruining his shirt.

“can you handle another one?” you stood up, straddling his hips once more. chris nodded and pushed his lips against yours, whining into every smack of your lips. you drag your hands underneath his spoilt shirt, peeling it off of his body. your other hand pushed your thong to the side before stretching your precious cunt over his cock. you both moan in unison as you begin to rock your hips—hands trailing up his chest to pinch his nipples between your fingers. chris winces and leans his head against the couch, your hips swiveling on his cock while you pinned his wrists against the cushions. you were so close, capturing his lips in a kiss when you finally felt yourself fall apart, chris’s cock twitched inside of you—filling you spurt after spurt until a ring of white cum leaked around his base.

you fall limp against him, pressing a gentle kiss to his neck.

"that was amazing," chris panted—kissing your cheek as you lay on top of him. you giggled in response, brushing your hand against his jaw.

“i guess we should continue our lesson right?”

MIYAWAKI SAKURA x FEM!READER

Prompt: Your girlfriend is usually a patient, calm, and quiet person, even during sex. That’s when you decided you wanted a little change. With the advice of Chaewon, Yunjin, and Kazuha, your plan of making Sakura jealous goes better than you expected.

Warnings/Notes: G!P Sakura, dom Sakura, degradation, biting, Sakura is scary but hot when angry, subby reader, jealous Sakura, cute Sakura at the end

———

“What’s with the frown, Y/n-ie?” Chaewon asks, noticing the way you were laying down on the living room couch as if your life was entirely ruined.

“I don’t know how to properly explain it Unnie” Your frowned deepened and the leader took your hand.

“Is it something about Sakura Unnie?”

You slowly nodded and Chaewon hummed. “Why don’t we go upstairs and talk to Kazuha and Yunjin too? They’re great at giving advice”

Feeling your heart soften, you mumbled a small ‘ok’ before going upstairs into Yunjin’s room where Kazuha was already seated on the floor, playing on her switch. Yunjin was on her bed, fiddling with the strings of her guitar.

“Hey girls, private meeting needed” Chaewon explained, locking the door.

“How about Eunchae and Kkura Unnie?” Kazuha asked, placing her switch to the side.

“Eunchae is out with Bahiyyih and Kkura is at Yena’s place” Chaewon responded as she got you to sit down on Yunjin’s study chair, making sure you were facing the 3 girls.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Yunjin asked, looking between you and the leader.

“I just had something on my mind lately in regards to Sakura and I need advice” You began explaining and Yunjin gasped.

“Don’t tell me you want to break up with her..” the American whispered.

You rolled your eyes and threw one of her plushies at her face. “No not that you loser!”

“Ow!”

“It’s not that big of a deal to be honest, I just need some…help?”

The three looked at you like a lost puppies before nodding at you to continue speaking. You took a deep breath. “So last night Sakura and I had sex”

“Charming” Yunjin commented, making you throw another plushie at her direction which she dodged.

“Anyways, it was nice as usual. She’s gentle, always telling me she loved me, going slow and whatever”

“But?” Chaewon arched her brow.

“It’s getting kind of boring, you know…all the vanilla stuff. I don’t know how to tell Sakura she’s not being dominate enough. Like I want it rough, I want her to really lose control. Main question I wanna ask is, how do I ask her to do that without hurting her feelings? She’ll think she’s not a good girlfriend”

The three girls exchanged each other looks before Yunjin spoke up. “In that situation Y/n, you just gotta…bring the rough side out of Kkura”

“What do you mean?”

“My best bet is to make her jealous. Sakura Unnie may seem calm but she’s quite possessive when it comes to you. Choose anyone you like and just flirt and flirt until your girlfriend can’t handle it anymore” Yunjin continued.

“Then you’ll get a good fucking for sure” Kazuha winked, making your face heat up at the thought of Sakura losing control.

“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Who can I choose?” You asked the girls who smirked.

“Choose Kazuha. She’s quite good at acting” Chaewon suggested, Kazuha nodding.

“How should we start it?”

“Oh don’t stress so much, Y/n. Just go with the flow. I’m sure Zuha has something planned” Yunjin shrugged, smile widening after hearing the dorm entrance open.

“I’m home!” Sakura yelled out and your heartbeat quickened.

“Relax, okay? Let’s go downstairs and we can worry about this tomorrow” Kazuha whispered and you nodded shyly in response.

———

The following day, your group had another photoshoot to further advertise your merch. This time, you did it in pairs:

- Eunchae and Chaewon

- Sakura and Yunjin

- You and Kazuha

The first two pairs had already did their round of duo photos so they were sitting in the back, taking a break whereas you and Kazuha were in front of the cameras, waiting for instructions from the camera director.

“You doing alright?” Kazuha whispered closely to your ear, knowing Sakura was looking at the two of you.

“A bit nervous from yesterdays talk”

“Don’t overthink it, okay? Let’s take advantage of this shoot, she’s already staring” the younger Japanese member informed.

“Kazuha-ssi, Y/n-ssi let’s begin! I’d like to try something different this time. Kazuha-ssi could you please stand behind Y/n-ssi, both of you facing the front” The man directed and you both nodded while adjusting your position.

Being the shortest member in the group meant you always had to be positioned in front.

“Alright, Kazuha-ssi, please have your hands on Y/n-ssi’s waist. Like a couple pose!”

You gulped at the order and looked at Kazuha who winked at you. Sakura wasn’t fond of the new idea this director came up with but she decided to bite her tongue.

“Unnie you’re squeezing my hand a bit too hard” Eunchae winced, the eldest blinking and immediately letting go of the maknae’s hand.

“Sorry Eun, got lost in thought”

“It’s okay. Kazuha and Y/n look good today don’t you think! Their merch outfits are almost matching” The youngest told with a huge smile and baby applause.

Sakura huffed and returned her eyes to you and the other Japanese member, realising that Eunchae was right. Both you and Kazuha were wearing baggy jeans that were unbuttoned and unzipped to display the Le Sserafim ‘panties’ (quoted by their leader last shoot). Kazuha wore the Le Sserafim black bra top while you wore the white version.

The cameras flashed for a few seconds before the director spoke up again. “Those were nice but Kazuha-ssi I need you to lean your face closer to Y/n-ssi’s neck. Right now it looks a bit too awkward”

“Yes director-nim” Kazuha responded and did what she was told, feeling her own heart quicken as Sakura’s glare never left her and you.

“Not gonna lie, I’m starting to feel threatened” Kazuha whispered, making you giggle.

“Did you tell director-nim our plan or something? He’s really going all out for these photos”

“I swear we didn’t say anything” Kazuha laughed with you.

“What are they possibly laughing about?” Sakura bluntly asked, arms folded over her chest with annoyance.

Chaewon caught on the jelly leader and smirked. “Jealous are we, Kkura Unnie?”

“No, I’m not like that. There’s just no need for them to be laughing during a photoshoot”

“Zuha is the funniest member after all”

“She’s not that funny”

Chaewon shrugged and watched your photoshoot continue.

“Ok let’s do one last pose. Kazuha-ssi could you please lie down on the ground with Y/n-ssi sitting on top of you” The director told, surprising all the members.

“I’m sorry, what?” You tilted your head with wide eyes.

“Y/n-ssi sit on her thighs and have your hands resting on Kazuha-ssi’s stomach”

Kazuha sent you a look before she laid down and you hesitantly followed, sitting on her and placing your hands on her gorgeous abs. “Am I putting too much pressure on your legs, Zuha ya?” You softly asked, looking down at her.

Kazuha was mad blushing at the position. “No, you’re fine. Just a bit awkward..”

“Kazuha-ssi please hold Y/n-ssi’s wrist and both of you look at the camera-“

An aggressive thud was heard in the back and all attention turned to Sakura who was already packing her bags. Her chair had skidded and fallen from the rough push she gave it when standing up. “I’ll be waiting in the van” She coldly said before pushing her way out the doors.

The rest of you looked at each other with fear, knowing that the eldest should never be messed with but you were proud to see that the plan worked.

It didn’t take too long for you all to change to your normal clothes and head home where Sakura was dead silent during the car ride. When the van stopped at the dorms, Chaewon spoke up “Yunjin, Kazuha, Eunchae and I need to attend separate interviews. We’ll see you two later, okay?”

Sakura nodded and was the first to hop out the van as you gave Chaewon, Kazuha and Yunjin a look.

“You’ll be fine, just text us if you need anything” Yunjin winked.

“Wait what’s going on?” Eunchae asked with curious eyes, looking between all her Unnies.

Chaewon opened a bag of chips and shook it in the youngest’s face. “No questions. Eat this”

“Chippies!” Eunchae smiled widely and happily took the snacks before returning to her seat.

“Seriously Y/n, everything will be fine. Don’t forget to take birth control” Kazuha giggled, making your heart stop for a second.

You sighed and left the van before following your pissed girlfriend into the dorm. You went upstairs to your separate room and placed your bags on your makeup table before you felt a body aggressively trap you, the person’s hands gripping on the edge of your table to the point their knuckles turned white.

“Did you enjoy your little couple photoshoot with Zuha, baby?” Sakura whispered hotly in your ear while she grinded her painful bulge into your clothed ass.

“K-Kura…”

“Was it fun? Hm?” She bit your neck, making you moan.

“Was it fun sitting on Zuha when you could be sitting on me with my huge cock deep in your tight cunt? Or was it because my cock wasn’t good enough for you to fuck yourself with?”

Your eyes rolled back at her words. This was exactly what you wanted.

“N-No, baby, it was just for the photos I swear!” You whined, her hands gripping your waist, her nails digging into your skin.

“You’re mine Y/N. You’re. Fucking. Mine. Got that?” She growled, moving down to suck a nice dark hickey onto your neck. Satisfied with the look of it, she spun you around and forced your lips together.

Your hands moved to wrap around her neck and pull her closer while in your mind, all you thought of was ‘yes finally!’

“You’re gonna regret everything that happened today. For now, you can try and gain my forgiveness by sucking my cock like a good girl. Are you a good girl, baby?” She moved one hand to cup your chin and force you to look up at her.

You nodded. “Y-Yes I’m a good girl…”

“On your knees then, slut” (A/N: DONT GOTTA TELL ME TWICE 🧎🏻‍♀️)

And you did straight away.

“Need to remember who you fucking belong to” Sakura said through gritted teeth as she untied her sweatpants and pushed it down with her boxers to her lower thighs, exposing the monster cock already oozing out precum.

You looked at it with sparkling eyes.

“I’m not gonna cum with you staring at it, will I? Put that mouth to good use like a good little bitch”

You whimpered at the degrading words and engulfed as much length as you could into your mouth, tears escaping your eyes from the stretch. You felt your girlfriend run her hand through your hair and applying a tight grip, forcing you to take her deeper.

“F-Fuck” You heard her grunt that sent a jolt to your stomach.

You started moving your head at a faster pace, feeling Sakura’s grip get tighter on your hair as her hips started to automatically move. You started to feel her tip hit the back of your throat, causing you to gag a little bit and Sakura sent a small evil chuckle.

“Too big for you, baby? Just wait until it’s in your small little pussy. Gonna stretch you out so good and fill you up with my cum. You like that wouldn’t you, baby? Being my personal little cum dump”

You managed to nod despite having your mouth full and Sakura decided to pull her cock away before she could cum. A string of saliva connected your tongue to her twitching tip, causing the ache in your pussy to intensify.

“As much as I’d love to make a mess on your face, I want my cum inside your pussy instead” Your girlfriend said in a low voice before laying down on the bed, making a ‘come here’ motion with her hand.

You crawled on the bed and Sakura nodded her head at her standing dick. “Sit”

No daring to think twice you hovered yourself onto her lap and your older girlfriend aligned her tip at your entrance. “Fucking pissed me off seeing you sit on top of Kazuha like that. Did you want her dick more than mine?”

You shook your head in panic, keeping your balance by holding onto Sakura’s broad shoulders. “No baby, I only want your dick”

“Damn fucking right you do. You’re not riding anyone’s cock other than mine, got that?” Sakura growled and pushed you down onto her entire length, your back arching in response.

“Fuck Kkura!”

Sakura dove into your chest, marking it as much as she could before continuing her trail of hickies to your collar bones. Her hands rested on your hips and forced you to ride her in a harsh motion.

“You’re so big, oh my god! Fuck yes!”

It was painful but also felt so fucking good. She planted her feet flat on the bed and bucked her hips up with each motion you gave. Popping her lips away from your skin, you looked down and she leaned her lips super close to your own, her minty breath fanning you.

“Fuck you feel so good around me, princess. Don’t make me catch you slutting around with the others, yeah? Or else I’m gonna have to keep teaching you a lesson”

You were close to telling her that you wouldn’t mind it as long as the rough sex kept happening but that could be used for another time.

Your screams filled the entire dorm and you couldn’t care less if the walls broke down, as long as Sakura’s cock was still hitting you deep into your womb, there was nothing else you could’ve wanted.

“Shit the girls are gonna come back soon, I need to make this quick” Your girlfriend huffed before flipping the position so she was on top.

She spread your legs wider and pounded into you mercilessly, your throat starting to hurt from the sinful noises you released. “Fuck fuck fuck, baby I’m gonna cum!” You cried, Sakura leant down to bite your neck and your hands went to claw at her milky back.

“God, that’s it, baby. Take all of me”

“K-Kura!”

The taller girl used one hand to rub your clit as her cock abused your insides, feeling her start to swell. “Gonna cum with you, princess. Take it, baby, fuck!” You heard her groan the same time you screamed her name for the last time.

The burning sensation in your stomach left and all you could feel was the gush of cum that filled you up so much that it escaped your entrance. Sakura gently pulled out and smiled at the mess.

She pulled the sheets over both your bodies and got you to lie down on top of her, letting your head rest in the crook of her neck. “You okay?” You heard her gently ask.

Soft Sakura was back

“More than okay. That was the best sex we ever had”

“Sorry I lost control. I was just so upset seeing you with Kazuha and that stupid photoshoot. I didn’t mean to be jealous I-“

“Baby, stop it’s okay. Having you lose control like that was so hot. Should do it more” you smiled at her.

“Is my soft side too boring?” Sakura pouted.

You found it hard to believe that this was the girl that had just rearranged your guts a few minutes ago.

“No no no, babe. I just think we should try different things sometimes” You responded, cupping her jaw.

“Do you have anything in mind?”

“I have a few…” Your innocent smile slowly formed into a smirk before you went to check your phone notifications.

‘Eunchae’s interview got held back a bit longer so will be home late. Everything okay there?’ Yunjin messaged.

“Perfect” you said to yourself before throwing your phone away, unbothered to reply to Yunjin.

“Perfect what?”

“Perfect amount of time to do another round” You bit your lower lip and pushed the sheets off.

“W-What?”

“How about blowing my back out, baby?” You winked at her but you noticed the slight concern in Sakura’s eyes.

“But bubby, my peepee hurts…” She squeaks with a pout and huge puppy eyes.

You couldn’t believe your ears right now. What happened to the Daddy Sakura?

“We only went for one round!”

“A HARD ONE ROUND TO BE EXACT! If we go again, my peepee gonna falllllll!”

“Suck it up! I’ve been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this. You gonna shove that dick in me or what?”

“Okay…”

Lasciare Suonare: In music terminology, it means to 'let ring'; sustain. An instruction to allow the sound to continue, do not damp. Used frequently in harp or guitar music, occasionally in piano or percussion.

Here are my pieces for this year’s Malevolent Madness Mixup- a six page comic of a scene from Lasc1are_Su0nare by the amazing @maddoc05! It’s a story where Arthur is a private investigator and John is an android singer entangled with Arthur’s most recent case.

Go give it a read! We had so much fun working on the story and art and we’re super proud of the result! And thank you so much to Maddy for working with me and for writing such a delicious fic, and to @malevolentmadnessmixup for making this event possible!

Wentworth Manor

Hello Simmers, get ready for a game of Beer Pong at the Wentworth Manor . A former family home converted into a Fraternity. This is a requested build which I was so excited to do! I would also like to say a massive thank you to all you guys for your support- we just hit 8k on Tiktok!

Fraternities have been impacted by the increase of off-campus housing starts in recent years. The Wentworth's examined their existing house and determined that for them to remain competitive, they needed to upgrade and increase their common amenity space.

In this area, most houses were built in the 1920s and early ’30s, affording a certain unity in design and volume, although many were altered in the post-war years. Most followed one of two architectural styles of the period—Collegiate Tudor/Gothic or Georgian Revival. This property includes a spacious foyer, 5 bedrooms, large bathroom, traditional kitchen, entertainment room, library and a casual living and dinning room. Th backyard also accommodates for a pool and deck for outdoor cooking. While majority of the features have been maintained by the Wentworth's, each student is more than free to decorate their own spaces as they see fit.

Would also like to say thank you to @alexissimsblog for her idea and name!

We’ll Be Alright - Chapter Three

Masterlist

Your POV

After signing some contracts and discussing set list options last night, I’d headed back to my studio apartment to decompress and pack. It still didn’t feel real. I’d thrown a few outfits in a suitcase and called it a night.

The next morning I wake up to a still dark sky. throwing together a semi-decent but comfortable outfit, I grab my suitcase and guitar and head to meet the boys and the rest of their entourage at the studio. The flight was mid-morning, but we were all meeting early to get to the airport on time.

I arrive at the studio, grateful to be stepping into its warmth. When I walk in, Liam is sitting on a sofa in the corner with a cup of tea in his hands. He looks up at me and his face lights up.

“Morning, love.” He jumps up and wraps me in another bear hug.

“Morning, Liam.” I give him a squeeze and let go.

“Aw, hugs without me?” I hear a voice exclaim from behind, suddenly two arms wrap around me from behind.

“Good morning, Niall.”

He lets go as the other boys filter in to the room.

“Morning, Y/n!” Louis chirps in a sing-song voice.

“Good morning.” Harry smiles at me.

“Morning.” Zayn grumbles, he is clearly not a morning person.

“You all packed and ready to go to, Colombia?” Louis asks.

“I guess. I put a few things together, but I don’t really have any outfits that scream ‘I’m opening for One Direction’s stadium tour’ though.” I chuckle nervously.

“I’m sure our stylists are hard at working prepping some outfits for you!” Harry reassures.

“Okay lads, and lady, the bus is out the front! Everyone ready?” Liam instructs, ever the Daddy Directioner.

Everyone whoops and hollers, Zayn just grumbles.

“Let’s go!” Louis exclaims.

…

A few hours later and we’re seated on a private jet ready to take off. I find myself in a ‘booth’ type seat with Liam beside me and Niall directly across the table from me. Zayn sits by himself, relaxing with some headphones on. Paul does the same as Zayn. Meanwhile Louis and Harry are sitting across from each other arguing over a game of UNO they’d started playing.

My body begins to tense up as the engine starts and the captain announces to fasten our seatbelts. I haven’t flown much, and I’ve never flown on a private jet, so I’m definitely feeling a bit nervous. My face must read like an open book because the boys begin to console me.

Niall reaches across the table to take one of my clenched hands, “Don’t worry, Y/n, our pilot is one of the best. He flew us around on our last tour and did a brilliant job.”

He rubs his thumb across my knuckles soothingly and I feel butterflies pooling in my stomach. This time it’s not because of the flight, it’s because Niall’s striking blue eyes are staring into mine.

Liam places an arm around my shoulders, drawing my attention to him, “It’ll be okay, love. Eleven hours and we’ll be in Bogotá, I promise you time will go quickly.”

The butterflies in my stomach are going nuts as I smile at him, “Thanks, Liam.”

It’s only then that I realise Louis and Harry’s arguing has stopped. I look across to see them staring at Niall, Liam and I with perplexed faces.

Once the plane has taken off and is up in the air, the pilot announces that seatbelts can be undone and we’re free to go about the cabin. Louis rushes over to the three of us.

“You guys want to play UNO? Harry’s no fun, he’s making up his own rules.”

“Sure.” I agree, untangling myself from Niall and Liam’s comforting embraces to grab a pile of cards.

“You in lads?” Louis questions Niall and Liam.

They nod taking their cards.

“Zayn? Are you going to come play or are you going to be a party pooper?” Louis calls across the cabin.

Zayn makes his way over, “Hey, I can be fun too!”

Louis and Zayn lean on the bar across from our booth, meanwhile Harry comes over and plops himself into the chair beside Niall.

“If everyone’s playing I want to play.” He whines.

“You’re not going to make up you’re on rules though, right? Because you can’t put a draw two on a draw four unless it’s for the colour that got picked.” Louis directs.

“Okay.” Harry huffs.

A few hours, several arguments, and Louis threatening to throw Harry off the plane later, and we decide to call it on the game.

“Let’s play something else! What about Never Have I Ever?” Niall grins.

“Sounds good. I feel like we all know each other well enough now, but it’ll be interesting to see what Y/n has to say.” Zayn says.

He pops open the small bar fridge and hands everyone a small bottle of vodka.

“I’ll start!” Louis exclaims, “Never have I ever, cheated at UNO” He pins Harry with a stare.

“Let it go, lad.” Liam chides, “Never have I ever… worn someone else’s underwear.”

Niall and Louis both take a sip.

“Who’s?” I question, curiously.

“You have very comfortable underwear Mr Styles.” Louis grins.

“Agreed.” Niall says.

Harry’s jaw is wide open, “Someone remind me to put a lock on my suitcase.”

“Okay, never have I ever… joined the mile high club.” Louis grins.

Zayn, Harry and Louis all take a sip.

Harry notices my untouched bottle, “We can always change that.” He flirts with an overdramatic wink.

Liam smacks the back of his head and I chuckle.

I feel Niall’s eyes burning into me, “You good, Niall?” I ask, and he flushes.

“Uh yeah. Ummmm, never have I ever… been chosen to be the opening act for One Direction’s tour.”

I take a swig, “That was on purpose.” I protest.

“Your bottle was too full.” Niall grins, cheeky.

“I’m going!” Harry butts in, “Never have I ever had a romantic dream about someone on this plane.”

Liam and Niall take a swig. I can feel their eyes on me as they do and my face goes red.

“Who?” Zayn asks, oblivious.

“Um.” Liam chokes, “Paul obviously. He’s so big, and strong! Love being carried in his muscular arms.” He throws a joking wink in Paul’s direction.

“Yeah.” Niall joins in nervously, “He’s a very handsome man.”

The boys drop it after that. Zayn still seems oblivious, but Harry and Louis both give me knowing looks.

A few hours later we arrive at El Dorado airport in Bogotá, Columbia. The rush between getting off the plane, getting through the airport, and getting shoved into a van to go to the hotel is insanity.

When we finally check into the hotel and are given our assigned rooms I finally feel like I can breathe. Zayn and Liam are together, Harry and Louis are together and Niall has his own room like I do. It seems like they switch around roommates and who gets to go solo as the tour progresses.

Once I’m in my room I fall onto the bed and fall asleep quickly, jet-lagged and exhausted from the travel. My mind plays tricks on me as I sleep. Sending me visions of an Irish boy with blond hair and blue eyes leaning in to kiss me, and changing into an English boy with brown hair and brown eyes as he pulls away.

Next chapter

Authors note: I’m sorry the first few chapters have been quite slow. I promise there’s more angst, etc coming! Thanks for the support so far!

[alarrytale]

Hi! How do you read the line the snuts recently have said about Louis ‘He’s a good guy. Quite private.’ Do you think he is not open to them and they noticed how he distinctly separates his work and private lives? Or they just don’t want talk much about him cause of nda’s?

Hi, anon!

Full quote:

Talking of being on stage. How close did you get close to Louis Tomlinson?

We’ve done a support tour with Louis Tomlinson, we loved this opportunity. It really gave us a chance to get in front of people we wouldn’t necessarily be in front of in a live environment. It’s a different type of fan, our music translated well towards that. We’ve done tours with him over the past couple of years, we know him well.

He comes up to Glasgow for his shows, and we’ll go and watch football. He’s a good guy. Quite private. It’s funny because he been in the pop world, but deep down his roots are in indie guitar music, that’s what he is making. He’s fun guy to be around, and for us it’s great to see how others do things.

So the question they answered was how close they got to Louis. I don't think they got very close to him, by the sound of this. I don't think he spends too much time around his openers. Louis leads a busy life, has got a lot of people around who probably wants his attention and wants to get to know him. He's got an image to keep up and loads of secrets to keep as well. So i don't think he's the type to freely share stories or information about his private life. It's not only about the NDAs but also loads of sore subjects.

Imagine them all sitting there, having a beer, talking about girlfriends they miss at home, one member's latest hook up in Glasgow, one of them missing their mum, one gets a call from his father. It might lead to questions about his relationship with his "son", or why he hasn't got a girlfriend. I also think Louis is quite shy and don't open up easily until he's gotten to know people well. I don't think he's spent enough time with the Snuts to get to that point of familiarity that Louis trust them with this.

I do think his openers have signed NDAs. However, look how they ended the answer with a clear talking point about Louis "It’s funny because he been in the pop world, but deep down his roots are in indie guitar music, that’s what he is making." This tells me they were either instructed to say this, or they were presented with the laddy curated persona and image of Louis, and not the real Louis. My bet is the latter, but that makes me immensely sad.

Peter Tork; photos by Nurit Wilde.

“Tork in the late 1960’s” - Nurit Wilde, Instagram, June 19, 2021

“I’m free, I don’t know what I’ll be doing. I’m actually a little apprehensive, because there’s no doubt that there are three other incredibly talented fellows out there. They’re very talented guys. Mike is one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. Micky is even funnier and Davy is just cute as a button. Who could ask for anything more? Davy dances so great, did you see him dance in the film? I’ve not seen dancing like that on the screen except from Fred Astaire. The only other thing is that I’m both really relieved and really, really apprehensive. I’m terribly glad and also terribly sad.” - Peter Tork, NME, January 25, 1969

"[Tork] says The Peter Tork Project plays music ‘sort of on the heavy end’ of album-oriented rock radio. ‘We’re not heavy metal per say, but we’re just on the pop side of that,’ adds the affable performer. The band, formed in January with Scott Avitabile on guitar, Jerry Renino on bass and Derek Lord at the drums, is one of several ensembles with which Tork has performed since leaving The Monkees. [In the early 1970s, Peter was a member of the] San Francisco-based rock band named [Osceola]. ‘That was a name full of significance,’ he said. ‘[Osceola] was chief of the Seminoles, the only tribe never to have surrendered to the federal government.’ Tork said he identifies strongly with that kind of defiance. ‘All of my early life was spent feeling out of whack. Physically I matured late and never was very athletic and always found myself on the short end of the stick. I was raised in a liberal family in the middle of the McCarthy era.’ Against those odds, Tork inevitably developed an inferiority complex that he carried into adulthood and his musical career. When he became one of four young men chosen out of 437 applicants to become what were supposed to be the ‘American Beatles,’ his self-doubt grew to mammoth proportions. ‘Half of the time I would think I didn’t deserve it and the other half I would think I was God’s gift to the children. I got my head turned around. It was the “arrogant doormat” syndrome low self-esteem combined with arrogance.’ [...] Tork recalls now that he wanted things done his way, but wasn’t willing to put his effort where his mouth was. His subsequent attempts at a career of his own were consistent failures, and for a while in the mid-’70s he joined his wife in the teaching profession, instructing a variety of classes in private high schools. That career was shortlived. [More about Peter’s time teaching here and here.] ‘Not that I didn’t enjoy teaching, but there’s no money in it. It’s a tragic comment on social priorities, but there it is.’ Tork expresses fervent enthusiasm for his new group [...]. As for his old bandmates, with whom he enjoyed superstardom for such a short time so many years ago, Tork says he stays in touch. Assessing his relationships with each one, Tork favored the diminutive, British-born Davy Jones ‘because he could see things the others couldn’t. Occasionally he was able to reach down into the depths.’ Drummer [Micky] Dolenz, who gained childhood fame as TV’s ‘Circus Boy,’ was ‘a whole lot more fun’ to be around than the other Monkees. Nesmith, considered the most creative of the four, was the most ‘respectable, in the sense that he did his work and had a sense of his own work ethic.’” - The Daily Oklahoman, November 7, 1983

"To tell you truth… I… I never was able in those days [the '60s] particularly — I’m getting better at it these days — but in those days I was almost entirely unable to fight for what I saw as quality. If I didn’t get somebody fighting on my behalf then it didn’t, just didn’t come to pass." - Peter Tork, Headquarters radio, September 1989 (read more here)

"I had pathological self value. I really didn’t have a sense of it at all. I didn’t get why. I thought I had been picked almost at random. I didn’t have any sense of myself bringing anything except that character to the Monkees. What I thought they hired me for was that character, and I think to this day that that had a lot to do with it. I didn’t recognize how that sprung forth from whom who I really am. I thought I was faking them out. I thought I was handing them a lie and they were buying the lie — and so how could I value myself? Any time you compliment somebody and they can’t take the compliment, what they’re saying to you is, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about.’ That’s the message that anybody with low self-esteem gives back when somebody compliments them. Which is where I was. All that played into this fame thing. 
And it plays backwards, too. The reason that I got into the fame game was because I didn’t have any sense of value. I thought, ‘Jeez, if I can get the millions to love me then I’ll be all right.’ I got the millions to love me — and it still wasn’t all right. What a surprise. Ha, ha, ha.” - Peter Tork, Toxic Fame: Celebrities Speak on Stardom (1996) (x)

Hi this is kinda specific, but are there any tomione fics where T & H are dancers or actors forced to work together? Thank you <3

Hey Anon,

This was a interesting ask. I found a couple few also some where they were musicians just in case you were interested in them as performers of some sort. -JD

The Foil by WildKitsune E/Ma | WIP | 13k The girl didn't look like anything special. He had passed right by her without evening noticing her existence when entering Principle Dippet's office. Tom looked at her again after getting instructions to show her around and make her feel welcome. It was the part of being student council president he hated the most. He was expected to be nice to people far below his interest. But the position afforded him other privileges and powers that he counted as worth such a price. Very loosely inspired by Highschool Musical.

After months of no real work, his childhood friend, an aspiring screenwriter, Hermione Granger visits on New Year’s Eve, one last night before he plans to leave.

Instead, she passes the time with music lessons and plots of murder.

REMEMBERING RICK ANDERSON: HIS LIFE WAS HIS ART

Music Mentor, Artistic Visionary, Bassist and Co-Founder of The Tubes

As one of my music mentors and as a friend, Rick Anderson (1947-2022) played in the background of my life for many years. He co-founded The Tubes, the revolutionary art rock band that fused satire and theatre and drew comparisons to Alice Cooper and Frank Zappa. The Tubes entered my radar in 1975 with their breakout debut and their presence on hipster FM radio (including Fee Waybill’s witty radio PSA promoting birth control). However, the powerhouse musicality of The Tubes drew me the most, with their sophisticated progressive rock punctuated by pop music anthems, from “White Punks on Dope” and “What Do You Want From Life?” Through hard work, constant touring, and perpetual crafting on stage and in the studio, The Tubes created an astonishing resume (and they’re still on the road). Their careers intersected with David Bowie, ELO, Peter Gabriel, Olivia Newton-John, Cliff Richard, Todd Rundgren, Rick Wakeman, and other giants in the field. The Tubes commanded my respect then and now.

My big move to California in May 1977 was precipitated by a mix tape sent to me by a friend and also mentor, Jeff Lloyd. His tape included several Tubes tracks with a note saying, “We need to do something this good,” and that upped my urge to head to San Francisco. Imagine my thrill when, two years later, Rick Anderson walked into my rehearsal space. At the time I was in a band called The Mystery Dates with bassist/guitarist Dan Reilly with me on lead vocals, bass, guitar, and keyboards. We auditioned drummers and landed on Joyce, who brought in other singers and musicians, and that posse included Rick. He helped us knock the project into shape and re-named us The Band-Aids, suggesting we could be a parody of New Wave opening acts. We had fun doing covers like “Do Ya Wanna Dance?” and “Steppin’ Stone.”

The Band-Aids/Mystery Dates broke up in Spring 1980, but Rick and I kept up a rapport. He treated all my friends as his friends, and he had me over to his Twin Peaks apartment to record demos (he wanted to produce my song “Dancin’ So Hard”). We gabbed a lot about music, though I was more the beneficiary of Rick’s experience and wisdom. I was a brash, opinionated 22-year-old with a head full of stupid and naïve preconceptions about music and the entertainment industry. Rick patiently cut through with real-world mentoring, instructing me on the workings of major label record deals (The Tubes were signed to A&M at the time), pros and cons of musician’s unions, recording tips, and going for a pop music jugular while keeping one’s artistic integrity.

Musicians can get awfully territorial about music, letting likes and dislikes eclipse the true value of a musical work, and I was like that back then. Rick taught me to cope and get ahead in this business, I had to become more objective and accept irony. For example, Rick took me to a club to see Eddie Money, who I wasn’t a fan of, but Rick said, “Watch Eddie. He has great charisma onstage.” From Rick I learned the necessity of stage presence and to respect the craft of other professionals. 

Another example: I had a negative reaction to The Carpenters. They didn’t fit my image of hipsterism, but Rick asked, “What’s wrong with them? There’s good playing, singing, production, songwriting, and they make people happy.” I couldn’t argue with that, and it led me to a cardinal rule of working in music: Leave my opinions at the door. Don’t let my attitudes and personal tastes block my discovery process as a creator. I can flex my likes and dislikes in private, but ultimately, they don’t matter in God’s grand scheme of creation and collaboration.

Rick and I drifted apart socially but we kept crossing paths (I gave him my first LP in 1985). Then in the late 90s we reconnected and began a meaningful correspondence of emails and postcards. He was still a reliable voice of affirmation and encouragement, with his droll realism balanced by childlike awe. 

Recently we sat at Rick funeral and listened to his daughter, family, and friends talk about Rick’s life well-lived. He resided in the small farm belt town of Merced CA, where he was celebrated as a model neighbor, father, and husband. It was a touching report, with descriptions of Rick’s constant even temper and dependability as a man and as a musical force. Of course, I wish I could’ve spent more time in person with Rick, but he left us with quite an imprint, and I’m grateful that he inspired me to up my game in every way.

But if your country doesn’t allow PayPal, or you don’t have an account, you could contact us privately on Instagram to inquire about what other options you have.  We’ll accommodate you to the best of our ability.  For those sending a donation with PayPal, please send it “Friends and Family” to jmfst@yahoo.com .  If you send it another way that incurs fees, please understand that our only option will be to ask you to cancel it on your end and resubmit it as F&F.  We are unable to return the entry and ask you to resubmit it, because PayPal charges us fees for that too.  Understand that you are donating (ultimately) to a charity, not buying goods and services from us.  There will be only 4 winners, and if you aren’t one of them, your entry money will be sent to the charity in full.  Please don’t enter the raffle unless you are completely okay with that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, here’s the fun part:

$5 donation =     1 entry each, into any 2 packages of your choice.

$10 donation =   1 entry each, into all 4 packages, OR…

                          2 entries each, into any 2 pkgs of your choice, OR…

                          4 entries into any 1 package of your choice.

$20 donation =   3 entries each, into all 4 packages.

$30 donation =   5 entries each, into all 4 packages.

$50 donation =   9 entries each, into all 4 packages.

$100 donation =  50 entries, your choice of how they get distributed              

                             to the packages (you can put all 50 entries into 

                             one package, if you want to!)

The drawing will be held after May 15th, as soon as all entries have been tallied and sorted.  The drawing date will be announced in advance and then held via Instagram Live.  Merchandise packages will be sent out to winners no later than May 31, 2023.  (We take the time to package them up nicely for you with JM wrapping paper and some other goodies).  Don’t forget to please drop us a private message over on Instagram, if you need other entry options.

AI in Music Education: Revolutionizing Learning for Musicians

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in music education has ushered in a new era of personalized and accessible learning. From beginner musicians to seasoned professionals, AI is reshaping the way people learn, practice, and create music. This article delves into how AI-powered tools and platforms are transforming music education and the broader implications for the future of the music industry.

AI-Powered Tools for Music Learning

One of the most notable advancements in music education is the emergence of AI-driven applications designed to teach various aspects of music. Tools like Yousician, Simply Piano, and Melodics are leading examples that cater to learners of all skill levels.

Yousician: This app uses AI to provide real-time feedback on pitch, rhythm, and timing as users play their instruments. Whether learning guitar, piano, or vocals, students can see instant analysis of their performance, allowing for more targeted practice sessions.

Melodics: Tailored for aspiring keyboard, pad, and drum players, Melodics provides AI-generated exercises that adapt to a learner’s progress. It emphasizes skill-building through engaging challenges and personalized lessons.

Simply Piano: This app employs AI to recognize notes played on a physical piano or keyboard and adjusts lessons based on the user's pace and accuracy.

AI tools like these are democratizing music education by providing affordable alternatives to private lessons while ensuring quality instruction.

Personalized Learning Through AI

Traditional music education often follows a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not address the unique needs of individual learners. AI changes this by enabling personalized learning paths.

Adaptive Learning Algorithms: AI-driven platforms can analyze a student’s strengths and weaknesses to create customized lesson plans. For instance, if a student struggles with rhythm but excels in melody, the system will prioritize rhythm exercises.

Progress Tracking: AI tools monitor a learner’s progress over time, identifying trends and areas for improvement. This helps students stay motivated and ensures continuous development.

Flexible Pacing: Unlike traditional lessons, where learners must adhere to a fixed schedule, AI allows students to learn at their own pace. This flexibility makes music education more inclusive, accommodating learners with varying commitments and learning speeds.

AI in Teaching Music Theory

Music theory, often considered the backbone of musicianship, can be challenging for beginners. AI simplifies this by breaking down complex concepts into digestible lessons.

Interactive Visualizations: AI applications often use dynamic visual aids to teach scales, chords, and progressions, making abstract concepts more tangible.

Instant Feedback on Exercises: Platforms like EarMaster use AI to provide immediate responses to ear training and sight-reading exercises. This interactive approach ensures learners understand their mistakes and make corrections in real-time.

Gamification: Many AI tools incorporate gamified elements to make learning music theory engaging. Students earn rewards or unlock levels as they master concepts, transforming a traditionally dry subject into an enjoyable experience.

AI-Assisted Practice Sessions

Practicing an instrument is essential for mastering it, but practicing effectively is a skill in itself. AI tools enhance practice sessions by providing structure and feedback.

Virtual Accompaniment: Some AI platforms allow learners to play alongside virtual orchestras or bands, offering a dynamic and immersive practice experience.

Error Detection: AI systems can identify specific errors, such as incorrect notes or timing issues, and offer suggestions for improvement. This level of precision was previously only available through human instructors.

Encouraging Consistency: Many apps send reminders and track streaks to encourage regular practice, fostering better habits among students.

Bridging the Gap for Self-Taught Musicians

Self-taught musicians often face challenges such as limited feedback and lack of structured learning. AI bridges this gap by providing resources previously accessible only through formal education.

Virtual Tutors: AI acts as a 24/7 tutor, available anytime for guidance and feedback. This empowers individuals who cannot afford traditional lessons.

Open Access to Resources: Many AI-powered tools offer a wealth of free or low-cost learning materials, making high-quality education accessible to a global audience.

Overcoming Isolation: AI platforms often include community features, enabling self-taught musicians to connect with peers and share progress, fostering a sense of belonging.

AI and Music Composition Education

For those interested in creating original music, AI is a powerful ally. Tools like AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) and Amper Music assist learners in composing, arranging, and orchestrating music.

Guided Creativity: AI composition tools provide templates and suggestions, helping beginners experiment with musical ideas.

Real-Time Feedback: As users create, AI offers immediate feedback on harmony, structure, and balance, refining their skills as composers.

Expanding Possibilities: These tools encourage learners to think beyond traditional boundaries, experimenting with genres and styles they might not have considered otherwise.

Impact on Traditional Music Education

The rise of AI in music education has sparked debates about its impact on traditional teaching methods. While some fear that AI may replace human instructors, others argue that it serves as a complementary tool.

Enhanced Teacher Capabilities: AI helps teachers identify student weaknesses more efficiently, allowing for focused instruction during lessons.

Supplementing Classroom Learning: AI tools provide additional practice and resources outside the classroom, reinforcing concepts taught by instructors.

Expanding Reach: Traditional educators can use AI to offer remote lessons, reaching students who might otherwise lack access to quality instruction.

Challenges and Limitations

Despite its many advantages, AI in music education is not without challenges:

Lack of Emotional Connection: Unlike human instructors, AI cannot provide emotional support or mentorship, which are often critical to a student’s development.

Technical Barriers: Access to AI tools requires reliable internet and compatible devices, which may not be available to all learners.

Over-Reliance on Technology: There is a risk that students may become too dependent on AI, neglecting the creative and intuitive aspects of musicianship.

The Future of AI in Music Education

As AI technology continues to evolve, its role in music education will only expand. Emerging trends include:

AI-Powered Virtual Reality (VR): Combining AI with VR to create immersive learning environments where students can practice in simulated concert halls or interact with virtual bands.

Cross-Cultural Learning: AI can help learners explore global music traditions by providing culturally diverse lessons and resources.

Emotionally Intelligent AI: Future advancements may enable AI systems to recognize and respond to students’ emotional states, offering encouragement and adapting lessons accordingly.

In conclusion, AI is revolutionizing music education by making it more personalized, accessible, and engaging. While it cannot replace the human touch of a dedicated teacher, it serves as a powerful tool that complements traditional methods. As technology continues to advance, AI will undoubtedly play an even greater role in nurturing the next generation of musicians, democratizing access to knowledge, and fostering a love for music worldwide.

An army of guitarists is becoming increasingly arrogant, according to complaints from instructors and students. The cause of the elevated attitude is a combination of an increasing number of high-end instruments being available for sale and the increased exposure gained through social media.

As the popularity of television contests such as "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice" grows, more and more people are challenging the traditional method of learning guitar through private lessons. Professional-level instruments and expensive instruction are now being promoted online as well as through celebrity endorsements. This has led to an influx of people purchasing and learning top-of-the-line instruments, and feeling confident in their abilities before they are able to truly master the instrument.

The result is an army of guitarists with an inflated sense of skill, feeling that they have nothing to learn from anyone else and displaying a sense of elitism. The problem has become particularly noticeable when star guitarists are giving lessons in front of a large crowd of people. At times, the instructor is heckled with comments such as “I could do better!” or “show us something new!”

Instructional experts are warning players not to let the flashy guitars get to their heads. Mastering a skill takes time and practice, and no amount of expensive equipment can substitute for talent or a commitment to practice. If the army of guitarists reality-checks their expectations and disciplines themselves to practice and learn, these rising stars could make great music in no time.
