A new TV channel launches on Sky tomorrow aiming to teach us all how to play musical instruments. M-Channel will feature tuition programmes on how to play guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, percussion plus a show giving advice to young vocalists.
The station's co-founder Jonathan Macdonald explains: "The M-Channel is for people who are interested in playing as well as those who do already, from the beginners to advanced. The channel was born when we realised how many people have musical potential but don't have the resources or guidance to get started or progress. Many people just don't have the time or financial capability to grasp these opportunities and the channel will give them this."
A number of leading musicians are involved in the channel include percussionist Evelyn Glennie and classical pianist Freddy Kempf. Brian May is also rumoured to be lined up to give guitar type advice.
