Beatles Still An Influence in Music Lessons

Almost fifty years have lapsed since the Beatles' revolution yet their music still remains a great influence.

The Beatles' hairstyles, fashion, and music are still very prominent and all around us.

Beatles memorabilia has become valuable to collectors, for example, a Beatles lunchbox which sold in 1970 for twenty dollars is worth approximately one thousand.

The Beatles wrote two hundred songs which touched the world over from Abbey Road studio and are still being done with new material by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

Beatlemania continues today in video games, movies (Across the Universe), live Love Show in Las Vegas, clothes, many different music books and even a monopoly game.

We can throw the dice in a Helter Skelter way and Let it Be, to Get Back, Any Time at All to pretend to live in a Yellow Submarine, or visit a Strawberry Field thanks to the lyrics and music of the Beatles.

Tribute artists, orchestras, schools, private music students, bands and professional musicians and singers still perform the Beatles music.

Students taking music lessons love playing Beatles songs, such as Yellow Submarine, Day Tripper, Norwegian Wood and Strawberry Fields, etc. as they are written in the music books for guitar and piano lessons.

Beatles music is happy, enjoyable and students like playing the music. As a result a lot of music students perform Beatles music at festivals and concerts.

I am very thankful for having the opportunity of living, in the Beatlemania era, and having the privilege of enjoying their music since l964 when I along with 74 million other viewers first saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.
