Elsewhere, Whitesnake\u2019s guitarist Doug Aldrich, Drummer  Brian Tichy and bassist Michael Devin will be helping out at Sheehan\u2019s in  Leicester. <\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the day, Ian Paice said \u2018Being given the gift  of being able to create music is an incredible thing and most people don\u2019t allow  themselves this pleasure. That\u2019s a shame. Try it, you could just make your life  a whole lot more fun\u2019. There are lots of other events all over the country  including a special piano extravaganza by Markson Piano\u2019s at Foyle\u2019s Book,  Charing Cross Road, London. <\/p>\n<p>Pink Floyd\u2019s Nick Mason also commenting on  the National Learn to Play Day said: <br \/>\u201cLearning an instrument isn&#8217;t about  becoming a star, anymore than learning to swim means you want to become a  haddock&#8230;&#8230;It makes friends, teaches you the real advantages of working with  other people to achieve a common goal, and provides an enormous sense of sheer  pleasure when almost any music is produced. I\u2019ve been doing it for over forty  year and still love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On National Learn to Play Day you will be able  to experience free lessons on a variety of musical instruments, find out about  local music teachers, meet staff from the instrument manufacturers and take  advantage of many special offers. It offers the perfect opportunity for members  of the public to start playing or make the move back into music, no strings  attached!<\/p>\n<p>More music shops throughout the UK are joining in everyday, so  to find out you\u2019re nearest shop please visit www.learntoplayday.com, for the  latest up to date news and venue details. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <\/span><span id=\"__end\"><span class=\"small\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learntoplayday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.learntoplayday.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music for All is proud to announce their National Learn to Play Day, which offers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1482\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
