Music Lyrics - Now you're talkin'

Take for example when Joe wanted to learn to play the guitar. He had just moved to the Calgary area and was having trouble finding a store with a good selection of guitar music for beginners when he stumbled upon Rideau Music.

He found it on a city map. Now Rideau Music has become his first stop when looking for something music related. Especially if he wants to try and learn a new musical instrument, since they cater for all levels of musical aptitude. Including music lyrics. Find them at:

  403-269-6062 Calgary
• 5005 Dalhousie Drive NW
  403-202-2414 Calgary

Not only do they have a vast range of piano sheet music as well as sheet music for other musical instruments, their range of classical songs and lyrics encompasses such greats as Frank Sinatra and some of the big musical show hits.

They also have the music lyrics and sheet music for some of the popular songs today.

Perhaps you have a penchant for singing rather than playing. If you don't mind singing in public and fancy a little bit of fun, why not try your hand at karaoke. A favorite place is a Saturday night at The Flying Emu on 815 8th Avenue SW.

I must admit not everyone can be brave enough to get up and take the limelight, but maybe your friends have and it's a great night out, learning words to songs that you thought you knew as well as embarrassing yourself in the process!

Then you'll be famous all over again.
