Now Play It is a UK-based music website that offers music tuition videos by paid download. It is the world’s first online music tuition service to offer song lessons taught directly by the original recording artist.〔 ==Overview== Now Play It was launched in the summer of 2007 and the company is based in Farringdon, London. The service was founded to cater for a youth audience, who prefer to learn away from conventional music lessons and are not necessarily able to read sheet music〔 — the site's founders estimate 80% of the musicians involved cannot read sheet music either.〔 In addition, the site aims to make sure artists' rights for the tablature they have composed are respected and rewarded.〔 As of April 2008 the firm has 20 employees, with day-to-day running headed by musical director Adam Alexandroni and business development director Jennie Kong. The website offers downloadable video tutorials for songs, over a variety of instruments - guitar, bass, drums and piano or keyboard, with plans to cover more in the future. Downloads are available in both MP4 and Windows Media format, and can be transferred to a variety of portable media players, including iPods. Tutorials come in one of three varieties: "Full", "Lite" and "In-House":〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About Now Play It )〕 *Full tutorials consist of the lesson - a one-on-one lesson of the song by the artist(s) who originally recorded it; the recap - detailed tablature of the song, and the play through - the original promotional video of the song performed, with tablature overlaid on top. *Lite tutorials consist of the play through and the recap, like the Full tutorial, without the lesson component. *In-House tutorials are the same format as the Full tutorial, but consist of an in-house tutor performing the lesson component, rather than the original artist. Full tutorials retail for £3.99, while Lite tutorials cost £1.99, and In-House tutorials £2.99; although priced in British pounds, they are available worldwide.〔 Songs downloaded count towards the UK Singles Chart. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Now Play It」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
