Scat singing

Well hello my wonderful class!" The teacher bellowed. "How 's my favorite class doing?" Everyone cheers and that 's when her eyes land on me. "Well look at this class, we have a new student!" Everyone turns around to look at me, I awkwardly wave at everyone. "Yasmine?" I look to my teacher. "If you don 't mind could you come down and sing for us?" I 'm shocked, I didn 't think she 'll put me on the spot like that. "Uhh I-I 'm not-" I stuttered trying to find the right words to say but in my head

diamond in the rough, a dream left unfinished; the journey of a girl who sought more. Before I underwent this journey I had many bad habits. It’s said that singing is ninety percent mental and with that it takes the right mindset to be able to sing efficiently. Physically, it would seem singing is effortless but the opposite is true. Singing requires your body to be in top shape just like an athlete would. Along the way I realized that to fix my mistake and heal my body that I would have to undergo

anything like this before. I did end up saying yes to singing the song for her so she could include it in the play like I could tell she really wanted to. My dad promised me that if I did sing the song he would come up on stage with me and play the song on the piano. This made me feel a little better about singing but I was still very nervous. We practiced the song during rehearsal and some at home too so I would definitely know when and what I was singing. On the day of the play I was really nervous but

LIGHTS FADE UP. INT. AN APARTMENT THAT LOOKS LIKE A LAB. MAD SCIENTIST (from offstage): I’ve done it! I’ve finally done it! MAD SCIENTIST runs in from offstage. In her hand is a rather science fiction looking gun which she is happily parading around. Her ASSISTANT runs in from the opposite side. ASSISTANT: What? What did you do? MAD SCIENTIST: They said I would never do it but I did it! ASSISTANT: Well, I said you could do- Mad scientist, finally noticing that her Assistant is here, turns to

It is often said that when life gives you melons, make lemonade. This is generally easier said than done, and I can attest to this as I’ve struggled to make lemonade myself. A major part of my life is vocal music and it is always my goal to give the best performance possible, no matter the audience. It was near the end of the school day in mid-February. I had been preparing two pieces for the solo/small ensemble vocal competition for the last few weeks, but I still didn’t feel prepared. My runs

In “Black Roses”, Bowen begins the song with piano chords played hard, but with gaps in between. This is to grab the listeners’ attention, but at the same time put the emphasis on the words she is singing. As she is striking these piano chords, she sings “You can throw your words sharper than a knife/And leave me cold/In another house on fire.” Her voice is soft and somber. Her tone implies that she has been defeated by forces beyond her control. The instrumentation at this point in the song is only

Balthasar and Feste fulfill the same role of paid entertainers that are kept around to make the nobility laugh. This role seems like one that Shakespeare used simply to continue the progression of the play. This argument is mostly true with Balthasar who we learn very little about and who appears only when the plot necessitates it. On the other hand, Feste is a much more complex and central character. Shakespeare uses Feste to insert his own commentary about the play and the characters in it. Feste

Franz Schubert was born in Vienna, Austria in 1797. Growing up Schubert learnt to play piano, violin and viola. As well as being gifted with the ability of these instruments, his voice “earned him admittance to the Imperial Chapel choir school.” [2] This is where he developed his theory and compositional ability. When Schubert passed away in 1828 he left behind “over 600 lieder (German art songs), 9 symphonies, 15 string quartets, and hundreds of other different genres of pieces, including operas

the time I have to pry it out of her. She has taught me that being able to sing is a gift from God and that I should share it with the world. Singing has given me confidence that I have never had before. Singers like Meghan Trainor, Alicia Keys, and Rihanna, have given me confidence about who I am and that I cannot be pushed around. Sometimes I feel like singing has saved my life. Having a career as a singer, you have to be determined. It is something that people can enjoy and celebrate too. Sing is

The Harlem Renaissance was a time period of innovative and hard-won artistic,cultural, and social freedom for african americans. It began about 1914 and continued into the early 1930s. There were some that embraced their people’s folk history and african roots and a few even exploited white america’s ideas of the black culture.
