Finding Your Sound (of Music) as a Singer

Finding Your Sound (of Music) as a Singer Suzy S. Being a professional musician is a lifelong learning process. Even with years of experience, the best musicians seek out ways to improve at all times, such as by attending festivals and training programs. This summer, Philadelphia teacher Claire B. attended the AlpenKammerMusik Festival in Austria, exactly for this reason. Check out her story here Hi! I’m Claire and I teach voice lessons with TakeLessons. When new people ask me what I do and I say “I’m an opera singer” or “I sing classical music,” they nearly always ask, “Oh, where can I see you? Are you singing at the opera downtown?” That’s a tough question to answer. The thing is, even though I’m nearing 30 and have my Master’s degree, I’m not yet a full professional and I don’t have major singing jobs yet. Opera singers have to work their way up, and it’s a long haul. Most of us don’t have a fully developed voice until we are 32 or older, and that leaves us in limbo for a few years. Community theater, summer opera festivals, and training programs help us get experience as our voices settle and we perfect our singing. Working and studying in Europe is an option as well, since the audience is bigger for opera and there are more opportunities. I spent some time this August in Austria at an amazing chamber music festival and I wanted to share my experience with you. For two weeks, I spent about six to seven hours every day in rehearsal with other musicians and in solo practice, surrounded by the Austrian Alps. We were in Liesing, right next to the Tyrol (a.k.a. The Sound of Musics “The Hills are Alive” land!), and it was so small that they didn’t even have their own grocery store! The remoteness of the place let us really focus on our music assignments. Each morning, I’d get up early to go hike along the mountain road behind our rooms, and then have breakfast in the Gasthaus (guest-house, bed and breakfast). It was wonderful to be inspired every morning looking down on the valley and breathing in the morning mist. We used the Folk Music Academy building for our rehearsal space, and the hotel down the hill housed the performance area. I sang one piece by Ravel called Chansons madécasse (Madagascar songs) with piano, cello, and flute. It was so challenging, with tempo changes, random key shifts, and at times with me holding the piece together or singing totally alone. It’s not your usual classical piece with a full sound all the time, and it was such a good lesson on learning to trust your own ear while still keeping other totally sporadic parts in mind! We all came so far as a group in only 6 or 7 rehearsals. I also worked on song cycles by Schumann, Schubert, and a contemporary composer named Lori Laitman. The latter composer wrote a very moving piece using poetry by children in Theresienstadt, the model concentration camp in Czechoslovakia in World War II. There was a great emphasis on the text, and that set really helped me understand delivering a poem clearly and with meaning. Songs of any kind change when you mean every word. I wouldn’t trade my experience here for anything. I grew as a singer and performer, and I made great new friends as well as musical contacts on two continents! Hopefully all of us young professionals will benefit in the future from our time in Austria! Like this post?

Learning how to study

Learning how to study Watch This First!The video linked above is a great way to help students who may be having a hard time studying. I remember when I was younger I was one of the worst people I knew at studying. I'd always find myself distracted, looking out the window, or wanting to play video games. However as the video shows there are a great number of things one can do in order to effectively studying. The core concept behind the video is self-recognition. By this I mean the video stresses that in order to be the most effective at studying, somebody really has to know about themselves, most notably their shortcomings. Are you easily distracted by loud noise? Pick a quiet place to study. Always feeling hungry or bored when studying? Bring a snack with you before you start. Finding the words in your music to be distracting you? Pick music that doesn't have lyrics, like classical music. For myself I find it most effective when I sit in a quiet room, with some tea to sip on and some Mozart in the backgr ound. However that may not be true to everyone. The most important thing when it comes to studying is knowing what it is you have to do to make your studying the most effective.

Divide your notebook into sections: vocabulary lists, grammar practice, writingBy dividing up your notebook into sections, youre designating spaces to focus on different goals and concepts. Having a space for vocabulary, grammar and writing practice is a good place to begin because theyre the fundamentals of language fluency.Keeping a list of vocabulary helps you track which words you struggle with and words youve memorized. You can create an alphabetical list or segment words by categories, such as food or telling time.Similarly, keeping a section for grammar concepts gives you something to refer to when you forget a specific structure, and a writing section is a great place to practice those vocabulary and grammar skills.How many pages youll want per section is up to you, but dividing a notebook into three equal sections is a good place to start. Use sticky tabs to divvy up the pages into these three main sections. Experiment with color codingâ€"differentiating top ics with color can be especially helpful to visual learners.After a while, or if you think you need room for more sections, you could add a space for more complex vocabulary lists or a thesaurus-like section where you list words with similar meanings, which can be helpful when writing.3.

Writing creatively makes your language skills stronger, allowing you to use new vocabulary words and grammar.4. Write down goalsUse the notebook to write down goals for yourself in the target language.

What kind of writing do you want to do? What new words do you want to be able to use? Which grammar concepts do you need to master?Set up a series of goals, each one getting bigger or harder as you go along. For example, challenge yourself every couple of weeks to write for a longer period of time without using a dictionary. This way, youre forcing yourself to focus and challenging yourself to be imaginative with the language.5. Create a system to reward yourself when you reach a goalSet up a reward system for yourself. Since youre recording your goals, youll know when youve achieved them. Its important for you to recognize how far youve come!A reward  could be something as s imple and childish as fun stickers  or new stationary. Maybe youre keeping a list of foreign movies to watch in your notebook, so now would be a good time to reward yourself by watching one!Completing a goal and moving onto the next one means youre moving forward with using the language.

Could Artificial Intelligence Threaten Human Existence

Could Artificial Intelligence Threaten Human Existence Artificial intelligence has always been an interesting subject to discuss especially among fiction writers. But now its becoming a part of our reality. Thousands of artificial intelligence applications have been used for years in almost every industry: scientific discovery, medical diagnosis, robot control, stock trading, remote sensing, and even toys. Stephen Hawking says that the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. But, a lot of scientist dont agree with him. They say artificial intelligence could damage society if and only it built or used incorrectly. Today, artificial intelligence systems have impressive, but still pretty narrow capabilities. And its hard to imagine what it might be like for computers to experience the world, to be creative, and to dream. I can only say that the future of the human race depends on us. How we approach the development and management of artificial intelligence will have far-reaching consequences. Thinking about the risks associated with emerging artificial intelligence technology is hard work. Let our Computer Science tutors help you to figure out all the pros and cons. And, of course, all our tutors are ready to give you the science help you need whether it studying for a science test, or finishing your science homework.

Brush up on your English grammar

Brush up on your English grammar English was taught very thoroughly in the distant past. However, by the time many of us went to school, the way that English language was taught began to change. Many schools placed less of an emphasis on correct grammar, choosing instead to allow pupils to express themselves without their commas in the right places. However a knowledge and effective execution of these principles can put you at a great advantage, and an English tutor can help provide you with these crucial tools that are so often overlooked elsewhere. Unfortunately, many people are very confused when it comes to English grammar. This has two main knock-on effects. Firstly, their own written English may seem sloppy. Secondly, they may be unable to help their own children with their English homework. A good command of English grammar can help you to communicate more effectively with people and can help you to appear more professional when writing to clients, colleagues and other people with whom you have dealings.
