Singing While Playing An Instrument

Being a band member for eight years music came naturally to me. Picking up any instrument and belting out any sheet music placed in front of me was simple. Not only is dexterity a big role, but the role of listening is number one priority. Growing up I grasped

Ever since a young age I have known I enjoy being the center of attention. I aspire and chase after the satisfaction of performing perfect pieces of choreography. Whether that is hitting the right note in a song, or dancing my heart out on a stage. It makes me feel as though nothing is wrong and ignites endorphins in my brain. I'm in love with the feeling of my heart pacing fast, and then slowly easing into comfort the more time I spend on the stage.This love fuels the months of endless practice leading up. I was born with a voice and at 5 years old I was put in vocal lessons, at the local ABC Music. The first song I sang and played on the piano was "Part of Your World" from the little mermaid. I still hear the claps of the audience at my vocal instructors house. Singing is very meaningful to me, in fact I cannot stop myself, all my favorite songs just blurt out of my mouth. Music has the ability to evoke such deep emotions and beautiful voices aspire me to keep practicing.

Terms associated with singing literacy would be ‘chest voice,’ ‘head voice,’ ‘mixed voice,’ ‘falsetto,’ ‘voice box,’ ‘hard palate,’ ‘soft palate,’ and ‘vocal folds.’ Terms associated with acting are ‘portrayal,’ ‘tone,’ ‘embodying,’ ‘theatre voice’ (loud, exaggerated), ‘imagination,” ‘body language,’ ‘facial expressions’ ‘empathy’ (towards the

I grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana, surrounded by a large, loving family. My family gathers together each week to attend church and share a meal. I love to sing and grew up singing at my local church. Singing has allowed me many great opportunities to pursue something I love and impact people in new and different ways. Furthermore, singing highlights my ambition and exhibits my attention to detail, problem solving skills and the ability to continue to adapt to learning in new ways. Having never learned to read music or received any formal musical training, I am able to predict the flow of a song I have never heard and create harmony. Relying on the gift of a “good ear,” coupled with determination, I am able to learn a song quickly after hearing it only a few

You might not realize it but this is true. It is also true that singers use their voice in order to perform while recording their song. You would say, why use electronic music if you could just record your voice and the instruments? The main difference is that the “raw” voice and instruments would sound bad when they are freshly recorded. Even if you record it with the most expensive microphone, you would still end up with a recording that doesn’t sound like most of the hits you hear on the radio or any other platform. This is because your recording is not what is called “processed” with modern audio tools. There are many tools that will greatly improve the sound of your song. It’s generally really good to know the basics of these tools. This knowledge would be good for any work with any audio. For example you could use this knowledge to fix the audio in a film or a small video that you made. It’s doesn’t take a long time to comprehend these basic tools. They will allow you to increase the quality of any audio that you are working

Then the practicing part came and I had some challenges with my song. I don’t have very good breathing control and the song is hard on breathing. I got better in that by practicing. But this still challenges me. Also, I had problems with hitting the right notes, sometimes I was singing Amy’s alto parts, but she always alerted me so that was good.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve observed people playing music around me. My family is musically inclined, which I believe is the reason I’ve been drawn to it. In 2006, I began taking guitar lessons but I never had much interest in playing. Things changed in 2009, and I wished to be different. I wanted to be good at something so I began to teach myself guitar and have stuck with the guitar until now. In 2010, I began to play on my church’s worship team and I enjoyed it very much. I have now been a worship leader for the past four years and it’s something I love to do. I love it so much that for the past two years I have gone to Camp Electric to

To push your skills forward there are many tricks by which anyone can learn musical instruments. The beginners usually need to know such tricks. It is not always important to learn a huge amount of theory, sheets and notes for gaining the music skills and become competent in playing any kind of music instrument.

I love to sing, and people say I have a beautiful voice but I am shy and a bit insecure about my voice.

Stepping on stage with the York County Junior Honors Choir had become very familiar to me over the past two and a half years. I'd learned that you can never fall into a routine at a concert because each audience has a different personality. Sometimes you have to bring up the energy with choreography, sometimes you have stick to the slow songs with a religious meaning when performing for a church group on Sundays, and sometimes the order of the concert has to be completely changed. However, in my three seasons of performing, one thing that has always remained is singing the reprise of a song titled “Why We Sing”. The lyrics to this short piece are simple, but extremely powerful when sung by a group as passionate about music as the York County

Singing is unfortunately not socially accepted unless one is at a concert or carolling with friends. It is for this reason that those who sing during a normal conversation or in everyday life are given weird looks: they are going against the unwritten social rules of society. Singing is associated with madness because it shows how the person has lost their awareness of how others perceive them. This is why the use of song is effective in both the poem Music Swims Back to Me by Anne Sexton and in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. It is a fast and simple way to convey to an audience that a character is mentally unstable. While the works both use song to represent the madness of the speakers, the speakers themselves use diction to give different

First step, you need to pick a song. So lets start we are going to pick take a hint find the perfect place and pick your stance and background drop and fix your makeup if you're a girl and get ready the song that i have picked is about guys not understanding the word no and so you explain.

The Guitar is a stringed musical instrument with six or twelve strings that is played by either plucking or strumming the strings. It is one of the most popular instruments in the world. If an individual were asked to identify a guitar most people would answer the question correctly more so than they would if they were asked about another instrument. When people think about famous guitarists, they more than likely think of famous rock and roll guitarists and do not think about the many other famous guitarists in other musical genres such as jazz or country. The guitar is a well-known instrument that influences many musical genres including Country.

My interest in guitar started when my friend used to bring his guitar everyday and I would always want to play but didn't know how. I would always ask him to teach me how to play but I didn't know any of the chords and notes, therefore, I just gave up on attempting to play this new instrument. However, guitar is an elective that’s offered here at Kennedy, so I decided to take the class. I noticed that my friend was getting better the more he practiced, so I decided to join the class to learn the basics and get started on this new journey. At first, it was difficult to understand the notes because I didn’t have any musical background to help assist me for my own benefit. However, I began to focus more in class to learn the basics day by day. Overtime, I learned that you can't learn guitar in one day and you need a lot of practice to get better. I also discovered how progress is important to reach my end goal.

      As I lift my head up and open my mouth, my voice escalates with every tune that comes out. The soothing words bounce off of my tongue and release the tension held within. Even if the sounds aren’t perfect or correct, every little bit helps me get through the day. When stressed, nothing helps me more than singing. My passion for singing comes from deep within my soul, mind and heart. When I sing, I sing with all of me, putting everything I can into it. I have always had a great passion for singing, ever since I was young. Although I am shy and still get nervous and shaky in front of others, in my own time, singing is my cigarette, my alcoholic drink, my escape from all the anger and the pain.
