It's a BOY!

I have two beautiful little girls already and today we found out that we can expect a little boy around the beginning of August.

I love my girls but I must admit I am a little excited to get a few boy toys around here :)

Now to figure out a good boy name that both my wife and I like. Boys names seem to be much harder for us than girl names. Suggestions?

GARDNER'S HINTS FOR GROUP SINGING

GARDNER'S HINTS
FOR GROUP SINGING
All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!!


1. Proper posture is essential to good vocal production.

a. Don't stand too rigid. (This will cause tension)

b. Stand tall and stately with your arms, shoulders and neck area relaxed.

c. Don't slouch, it restricts the lungs and diaphragm.

2. Tension is the great enemy to all singers;

a. The jowls and the jaws must always be relaxed.

b. When singing in the higher registers always tip your forehead slightly forward.
    (flirt with someone in the audience)

c. When women sing notes above the staff, turn all vowels to Aaah and use less volume.

VOCAL PRODUCTION



3. The higher you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth)


4. The louder you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth)


5. The lower you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth)


6. The softer you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth)


NOTE WEIGHT



7. The longer the note the more weight you put on it.


8. The shorter the note the less weight you put on it.


NOTE SHAPE



9. Every note has shape and contour. (crescendo, decrescendo, tenuto, staccato) (When listening to younger musicians you notice that every note is the same and has no shape, contour or direction.)


10. You never sit on a long note. (You must either increase volume or decrease volume)


11. When singing a series of notes on the same pitch each note must be altered for interest. (Four quarter notes, on the same pitch, become boring unless you make them interesting with shape, contour, and volume.)


RHYTHM



12. When singing a note that is three times longer than the note that follows, you must separate. (Examples Dotted half note followed by a quarter note - You Separate. Dotted Quarter followed by eighth - you separate, Dotted eighth followed by sixteenth - you separate.


ACCIDENTALS



13. An accidental is a Sharp, Flat or Natural sign that takes the note out of the key and you should emphasize or accent the accidental so that the listener won't think you just made a mistake.


14. A rhythm accidental is syncopation or any beat that does not occur on the pulse and you should emphasize or accent all rhythm accidentals.


MESSAGE


15. The message is most important. Enunciate well. Communicate well. Understand the message that you are trying to get across to the audience. Do your part to inspire and edify the audience. (When your spirit bears witness to their spirit, both will be edified.)

Alice Cooper's Theatre Of Death Show Rocked

Its been a little while now, but roughly a month ago I went to the Alice Cooper Theater Of Death show, and I would have written about it then, except that things have been nuts lately. I must say, if you enjoy Alice Cooper's music and you want to go to the best show that you've ever been to in your life - check him out on tour.

I had seen video of him and his famous, eccentric stage shenanigans before, but seeing the master himself live blows everything else out of the water. There was no shock rock vaudeville stone left unturned as he truly commanded the stage like only a mascara running, self resurrecting, bad boy can.

My brother had always described to me the atmosphere of the show so I did have a little bit to go off of, but then when you are actually witnessing the flow of an Alice Cooper concert, you really don't give an F about any other show. Seriously, everything else is just boring to me now, and the man is in his early sixties now, so now is the time to enjoy what he has to offer, because again - his work is made to be spontaneous, or in other words - live!

Don't let the early sixties part fool - Alice is like a fine wine - he gets better with age.
