Singing
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul”. - Anonymous. Music can be a big part of people's everyday life to calm down, to have fun, but do they really know the progress it takes to make those songs, to sing them? There is a progress leading up to making the perfect song. Like the voice pitch, the warm-ups so the voice isn't scratchy, but is warmed up and ready for singing, and the type of genre that the artist is singing. There are many different types of voice tones. Like, Sopranos, Altos, Bass, Tenors, Soprano one, Soprano two, Mezzo- Soprano, Contralto, Countertenor, and Baritone. Are all different voice ranges for music.

One warm-up is numbers. So what happens is when singing all the numbers starting with one then counting up one number, then going down all the way back to the number one.Like this, one, one two one, one two three two one. Then go all the way up to eight, but when singing this the voice range gets higher and higher when counting up. Although when counting down the voice range gets lower. After counting all the way up to eight, count down starting high and with eight, like this. eight, eight seven eight, eight seven six seven eight. Thats one warm-up that is good for warming up the vocal cords and is just fun to do. We warm-up our voices before singing because the vocal cords could get strained or raspy before warming up. If the vocal cords aren't warmed up before singing, the singing would sound all scratchy and it won't sound the same. Warming up helps the voice by preparing it for what it awaits for before singing. One other warm-up is called ABC’s. This helps warm up tongue and lips. Start by singing the alphabet in the voice range of choice.Then after that say it in a higher octave and then from then on keep going up and then say it faster and faster as the voice gets higher and higher. Now all we need is a good genre to …show more content…
Is it rap, pop, opera? Exactly we need to know, but how many genres are there? Well there's rap/hip hop music, it isn't really sung more like saying something really fast with a cool beat. Pop is written songs from the heart based on a tune of the artists choice with meaningful lyrics at times. Opera is good when singing if a Soprano, Soprano one, or Soprano two. Because of how high the voice is, but for when it's good for how low the voice is. Country music, well that's another story. Country is like a mix of all types of voice ranges made into a good song about drinking and heartbreak. Like Carrie Underwood is a country singer and her voice range is a Soprano. And as for Luke Bryan he is also a country singer and he is a High Baritone. So as we can see everyone has a different voice range, genre and they are all just good
First of all, before I even begin, I want to say thank you to all the people that helped me learn more about myself. Anyway, I am a mostly a musical and spatial learner because I love music and it always calms me down. I can also easily remember the tune of the song after I hear it once or twice. I think that this can help me change the world because my dad has went almost everywhere in Asia and has done so many things for the continent with his band and church that he is in. I also want to achieve great things with him. As a global citizen, I think I can change the world with my music. I’ve already been playing in an orchestra (it’s in the Arvada Center), competed in a few festivals to with prizes, so I think I can also achieve all these great things that are still waiting for me. Being a musical learner has helped me made through all these things. I don’t want to give up.
Good morning choir members, I pray all is well with each of you. As each of you know, Sister Kimberly Edwards decided it was best to step down as President of the Liberty Hill Choir. The church administrators set standards in which the next president must already achieve or have before he/she could become president of the choir. Some of those standards include:
Cypress Lake High School presented a night full of performances by vocal majors and vocal minors. Being the Fall Cabaret one can look forward to a year filled with talented voices filling the school auditorium.
If you are not familiar with what Show Choir is, and the amount of time and work ethic you need, then you are in for a big surprise. Show Choir has evolved over the past years increasingly. Forget the young men and women in dark jackets and dresses standing on old risers and singing nice choral pieces. Show Choir has become a mini-musical sport. Many claim that Cheerleading and Marching Band is considered a sport, why should Show Choir be any different? Yes, show choir is mostly singing and dancing, but there is much more to it than one would think. I would know this because Show Choir has been a part of my life for almost 3 years now. I have experienced the hardship, fun, disappointment, pain, time, and joy, but it all paid off at competition when we would go to awards and see how we placed. Show choir is a sport, just as much as “cheerleading” or “marching band.”
I chose to join show choir because I thought it would be a good way for me to leave my comfort zone and try something new and fun. The first time I thought of auditioning for show choir was when I saw them perform during my sophomore year. They sang and danced to a song titled, "Till the Love Runs Out" and the sound and choreography they did just blew me away. I knew then that I wanted to be a part of that choir.
This year, Harrisburg High School’s Marching Band put on a spectacular performance of “Rain.” They preformed at six different competitions and at
This year has flown by quickly and sometimes I wonder where all the time went. When I first got my classes I was nervous because most of them were honors with two pre-AP classes. I learned that the classes were not hard if I studied and did my work. I wanted to drop out of my English class but my mother convinced me to stay in. My favorite class was science because we were always doing something interesting and I connected well with everyone. I got the opportunity to be in the school’s Show Choir which was amazing. I feel sad because in our Show Choir we are mostly composed of seniors so I got used to them and now I will miss them terribly. I feel like they were my second family.
Show choir, a favorite activity among many high school students, requires preparation and practice to be a top-notch performer. Although some schools go for a more complicated look, there are also schools that go for a simpler way. Whether the preparation is over the top or simple, you must follow the steps of doing your makeup, fixing your hair, and getting dressed.
Rock and roll has many influences that evolved it into what it is today. Blues had a significant influence on the development of the music, as well as some classical ideas of the solo performer. Through these influences, rock and roll was born.
THE ORIGIN OF ROCK AND ROLL The history of American popular music involves all the kinds of music such as rock and roll, jazz, blues, and many other principal genres of African American music. The origin comes when said: “The blue had a baby and they called it Rock and Roll” (Morgan, 649). Rock and Roll is a genre of music which “was born sometime in the 1950s”, but it was influenced by eighteenth century music (Morgan, 650). These included jazz and swing and led to the beginning to Rock and Roll through traditional folk music.
Music is constantly evolving, from the instruments to the technology. Today there are many genres that one can relate to such as pop, indie, jazz etc. However, there is a genre that swept the nation years ago and is the main reason we have most of the genres today. Rock and Roll is an influential genre which has many historic artists. This specific genre uses many different instruments and was successful due to many different aspects.
I have been involved in music for as long as I can remember. I sing, play the clarinet in the band and I am learning to play the piano. I am a section leader in choir and band, and I have a lot of knowledge about music theory and choral music. Music is a big part of who I am, and that is why I chose this topic as my project. I also plan to pursue this as a career in the near future, and I feel that this project will help me to prepare for the many requirements this career holds.
One of the greatest genres of music Rock and Roll evolved in the United States in the late 1940’s early 1950’s. This genre was known to be a mixture of gospel, blues, jazz, western swing, and country music. There are countless altered types of rock songs which means they can use different instruments but a few common instruments are drums, bass guitar, piano, and vocals which makes it a unique genre because although it is the same genre, each rock songs uses its own instruments and it’ll still make rock and roll music. Rock and Roll was a time of change in the dance field and inspired many people in the fashion industry and to mix different types of music to achieve a certain beat and with that, new trends will start occurring in society and
Rock’-n’-roll is constantly changing and evolving into specific sub-genres. Sub-genres break down a general genre of music into a more specific and sophisticated type of that category. For example, rock has many different branches including soft rock, southern rock, and hard rock. Rock in general typically has a lead electric guitar with a vigorous 4/4 beat produced by the drums.
Music is a significant element in most lives it takes a role in most cultures people believe in. Music contains a variety of elements within different genres such as the pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre and the texture. Different voices and different kinds of instruments produce a variety of frequent
