si Music Advocacy Done A Little Differently By choirteachers.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:00:00 +0000 Recently I have felt the need to do something more at my concerts as far as music advocacy is concerned. I hate to just hit my audience over the head with it as I am not sure how effective that is, so I had an idea for this years Christmas Concert. I interviewed each of my music students (only those who wanted to) and then I put edited them all together into a video that I played on a big screen while parents were coming in before the concert ever started. The parents really seemed to love seeing their kids via this medium and the kids loved being on the big screen. I did this for both my Junior and Senior High Schools. I think if I did it again I would make the videos shorter and maybe sneak in a few slides with music advocacy stats on them. High School Video Junior High School Video What do you think? Full Article

si GARDNER'S HINTS FOR GROUP SINGING By choirteachers.blogspot.com Published On :: Sun, 11 May 2014 15:11:00 +0000 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.) Full Article
si Confession of a closeted left handed guitar player By guitarticles.blogspot.com Published On :: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 19:17:00 +0000 You know, I never thought to mention this, but I am left handed. Now this may not seem important to most, because there are certainly a lot of guitar players our their who are left handed, but most left handed guitar players who are capable of great technique and guitar speeds, typically choose to string and hold their guitars completely opposite.This is not me. I play guitar the same way that most right handed guitarists play. What is the correct approach if you are a left handed person is just starting to play guitar? well, naturally there is no right or wrong way to go about it. I can remember when I first started playing, for the first 3 months, I couldn't do what most right handed guitar players had accomplished in that same amount of time.So, if it was that difficult for me, then why did I go this route? because I was told that I had too, and that playing my guitar in reverse would be harder to practice on. What do I think now? its rubbish of course. Just because a right handed guitar player might imagine it to be a difficult task, doesn't mean that a left handed person will have a hard time with it. I mean, asking someone to go against their physical or genetic design, is like asking them to walk on the ceiling.Oh, it gets better!!This is really quite fascinating. The other night I was reading about being ambidextrous, because I claimed to be so to a particular person once. She told me that I was not ambidextrous, but that their was a different name for my capabilities, and that I was only "half" ambidextrous. So, I put it out of my mind, but when I read this article the other night, I was blown away by what it had to say about ambidextrous people.The article explained that basically if you can do one thing that you shouldn't be able to do with your unfamiliar hand, then you are technically ambidextrous. Here's where it gets good. The article went on to explain that most people who are ambidextrous, start out as left handers, and learn to become ambidextrous because we live in a right handed world. Fascinating!This tells you that what you believe someone can do is only based on them being "gifted", "lucky", or "blessed" is total B.S. I've said it for years, but people just like to make excuses for themselves, I think. I mean that's easier to do, right?Anyways, imagine that you wanted to become ambidextrous for some reason - could you do it? hell yes you could! When I was six I broke my left arm, and it was in a cast for a very long time. I loved to draw, and spent most of my time doing this. So, I had to learn how to write and sketch with my right hand. I'm way out of practicing now, but at the time I learned to develop my right hand pretty well.Exhibit A - written with my left hand.Exhibit B - written with my right hand.Anyways, if you are a left handed guitar player, don't let others make fun of you and push you around. This whole article came about from me watching a left handed guitarist in a video. He was amazing, but everyone was leaving hateful comments - just because he was left handed.So, the question now becomes, "how should I hold my guitar?" or "do I need to re-string it?". My answer is that you should just pick something and go with it. I mean guitar is a challenging thing anyways, and you certainly can find little short cuts to make it easier, but if you were always looking for those shortcuts - you'd probably never get any practicing done.I suggest going against the grain. I mean, if you practiced or played just likeeveryone else, wouldn't you sound just like everyone else? yes, and guess what? most guitar players sound just like the guitar player standing next to them.Guitar teachers all around the world teach the same stuff, with the same approach,and if you collected all of these methods and put them together - you would have a manual for how to play guitar. Yet, how can man assume the authority to write such a thing, when music is art? how can you define what proper guitar playing or a proper guitar sound is? Do most guitar players want to do everything the way everyone else is? do they aspire to be birthed from the mold of regurgitated art?Let me give you an example. If these very famous left handed guitar players were told to learn guitar the way everyone else does, do you think we would even know their names with that iconoclastic twist?James Marshall HendrixFrank Anthony "Tony" IommiKurt Donald CobainJames "Iggy Pop" Newell Osterberg, Jr.Sir James Paul McCartneyStrive to be original in whatever you do.Some interesting facts about left handed people can be found in this.left handed articleAlso be sure to check out Left Handed Guitarists.com for a very complete list of left handed musicians.Go get 'em south paws! ;) Full Article general info
