  • CITES Musical Instrument Certificates Background Musicians Perform With
    CITES Musical Instrument Certificates Background Musicians perform with valuable and culturally significant musical instruments legally crafted decades and even centuries ago. A number of these instruments contain small amounts of ivory, shell, reptile skin, and rosewood or other materials regulated under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). The international use of musical instruments by musicians and professional and student ensembles is essential to advance diplomacy, spark artistic innovation, and support vital international cultural activity. In partnership with CITES parties and the conservation community, music stakeholders have undertaken efforts to increase compliance with current permit requirements while simultaneously pursuing policy improvements that will alleviate unnecessary burdens. Musical Instrument Certificate Created at CoP16 – A Consolidated Permit At the 16th Conference of the Parties (CoP16), Resolution Conf. 16.8 was adopted on Frequent Cross-Border Non-Commercial Movements of Musical Instruments, creating a multi-use Musical Instrument Certificate. The Musical Instrument Certificate is not an exemption from the permit process. It is a consolidated permit. The MIC streamlines the requirement for obtaining multiple CITES export permits when an instrument contains CITES material and is not exempted from permit requirements by an annotation or a personal effects exemption. Musicians using the MIC apply to their CITES Management Authority for issuance of single permit, which must then be credentialed by CITES enforcement officials at each port through which an instrument travels. Clarifications and Exemptions Approved at CoP17 At the 17th conference of the parties (CoP17), unanimous approval was given to Resolution Conf. 16.8 (Rev. CoP17), which: 1.

He credits where he is today musically to that moment from his childhood when Lackey introduced him to different finger stylings for guitar. Dykes comes from a musical family. His father was a guitarist and gospel music aficionado. As a 3-year-old, Dykes and his talented brother would sing with the family in front of their church on Sunday mornings. Prior to the time Dykes received the monumental lesson on fingerpicking from Lackey, he became a Christian and gave his heart to Christ at age 11 while attending a youth group gathering in church.

  • Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020
    Guitar Virtual Learning Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020 Guitar Lesson: May 14, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: What different guitar shapes are there, and what are the differences between those shapes? Warm-Up Activity Watch the following video by YouTuber “Minor7thb5” (which is a music theory reference!). In it, he plays the same piece of music two times with two different guitars. The guitars are of similar build quality and materials, but they are different shapes. One is a parlor guitar and the other is a dreadnaught. How do they sound different to you? These differences are subtle. It might be easier to hear by using headphones. 2nd Warm-Up Activity These were the two guitars he played. The one on the left is an Eastman parlor guitar, the one on the right is a Martin dreadnought. How do they look different? How do they look the same? Guitar Shapes For the lesson today, we are going to do a brief overview of the different guitar shapes and styles you can find today. This lesson will build on the lessons from earlier in the week where we discussed the differences between classical, steel-string, and electric guitars. Now, we will see what different body shapes there are, especially for the steel-string and electric guitars, and what makes them different! A Brief history of guitar shapes The word “guitar” comes from the Greek word “kithara,” which shows up in Greek mythology from thousands of years ago. These stringed instruments didn’t look much like our guitars now, but they were strummed like our guitars.
