Start your music carrier now! by Barbora Misakova

I have to make a confession. I always wanted to be a singer. Yes. I wanted to have my own band, to travel around the world and doing music. Not for being famous, but for having fun and creating something what would belong to me. Something what could fill me and warm me up. I remember that when I was kid I used to sing to myself while I was lying in the bed and trying to fall asleep. And every time when I didn't keep my voice on acceptable volume, my father called on me from the living room to stop singing and sleep. It was my secret dream to sing and from time to time it comes back to me. Fortunately I was too shy to do anything with that. So except my schoolmates on some little school actions no one hear me singing. But this dream have stayed with me for a long time and in some way I am glad. Dreams are not changing, they can be just losing their intensity. But this one didn't lose anything. And I bet there is a lot of shy music lovers as I am.

The bright evidence is the popularity of various music genre games such as “Guitar Hero” or “Rock Band”. These games are dedicated to those who like playing games but need to be more creative. And of course they are for all those who love music. All these games are working on a very similar base – a player have a toy musical instrument on which he can play and so have a simulated experience of playing real instrument. The main difference is usually in the number and type of instruments the players can try to play on. So games are offering you to play the guitar, bass, drums, sometimes even saxophone or other instruments. If you want you can be also a singer and singing to the toy microphone all your favorite songs. In 2007 music genre games accounted for 16 percent of U.S. video game software sales. As the numbers themselves say these games are very popular and with their increasing quality, a number of users will grow too.
