I agree you should post this request on EBay to see if one shows up.\n\nOf course, you can always buy it new...\n\nhttp://www.rmlearning.com/auditoryprocessing.htm

I have looked up music therapist on a website that my school uses to help kids see what type of career they would like to do and music therapist isn't in it.  Instead i found Music teacher/instructor and they make $25,000 - $50,000 with benefits. Don't know if that helped but it was worth a chance.

This is one that I did in my High School and I think that it went off really well.  It was a battle of the bands aka BOB we first went around to different recording studios in the area to find a place that would offer so type of prize to the winners, if you can't do that go around to places like wal mart or target and ask if they will donate to your school for the event and normally they will go and find something to donate or even give you a gift card to find something for the event, but they do ask you most of the time that you find a prize if they do that and they want you to use up the gift card.  At the same time that someone is doing that someone else is calling other high schools in the area and talking to the student council or some other student leadership group, to see if any of the other schools would like to join in to the battle of the bands, at my school we set a limit to three bands from each school and that included ours.  Now at my school we charged an entrance fee of $2 a person you can charge more or less just go to the students first to see if anyone is willing to pay that price to see it.  and if you want to make it a competition get some impartial judges to do the judging ex. if you do get a recording studio to donate some recording time you might want to ask the owner to come and to be one of the judges for the event you could even ask some of the teachers if they would be interested in doing that but also try and get some of the students from the schools that you invite could be the student body pres. or just some random student in the hall if you get one student from one school you need to get one from them all so that it is fair.  also have them judge on a number of things and not just how good they sound like did their instruments overpower the vocals, how well did they sing/play, etc.\n\nIf you do something like that it may seem like a lot of work but it is tons of fun.\n\nGood Luck!!

1. The answer provided by rainbowarrior73 is a red herring (no offence meant). That school in Leicestershire has nothing to do with the trust that you seek.\n\n2. Here are the details that you want.\n\nSwallowdale Children's Trust (Registered Charity No. 526205)\n[Old Names: Swallowdale Childrens Home + The Charity of Massey for Founding an Orphanage]\nCharity Correspondent:-\nMrs M Bell, 7 Arnold Avenue, Blackpool FY4 2EP\nTelephone 01253 345027\nArea of Operation: Blackpool\nRegistration History: 23 Feb 1978 Registered\n\n3. Here's a hint/suggestion for the future. The title "Trust" is a strong indication that the organisation has charitable status, and therefore will likely be registered with the Charity Commission. The Charity Commission has a searchable online database, and that is how I found the details for you.

Not yet, but I SERIOUSLY want to go!!! I think there may be one in Cardiff next year, which is relatively near me, so I'm going there like a shot. Their music is great.

The performing rights society will be able to advise you on what or if you need a licence in the UK\n\nhttp://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/\n\nAs an example, we used to have the radio on in our shop. We had to have a licence even though we were not charging anyone for listening and so it is not just about copying or selling music.

Some decent new ones are the Fender DG22S, the Epiphone Hummingbird (a Sheryl Crow look-alike), Takamine G320, or the Washburn D10S. These range in price from $150 or so for the Fender to $300 or so for the Epiphone. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I am still playing the first guitar I ever bought (in 1980, its a used 1968 Martin D35 I paid $250 for). Don't be afraid to buy used for a first guitar. Older guitars tend to have more character if they've been taken care of...

Music such as Mozart is considered to be in the public domain, and no one is given royalties, unless there is a specific arrangement that is copywritten.  Since every piece of orchestral music is changed slightly by the arranger for the symphony who performs it, that part of the performance can be registered so that arranger can get royalties.\nSo anyone can play Mozart for free, but if you use the London Philharmonics version of Mozart in your commercial, then you have to pay.  Make sense?
