Capoeira-the Graceful Art
The graceful martial art of Capoeira stands-out from those of other traditional combat arts in that it employs the use of percussive music and a capoeira match itself looks like a dance. Made famous in pop culture by the videogame character Eddy in Playstation's Tekken and a 90s movie "Only The Strong", there is some dispute to where it originated. Common belief is that it has its roots in Brazil in the 16th to 19th centuries during the slave trade. Africans brought over by Portuguese slave traders were said to have developed the musical, dance-like martial art as a way to disguise their practice sessions from slave masters. The two "Capoeiristas" would be surrounded by a 'roda' or a circle of...

Violin Techniques, Instrument and Venue - The...
In any form of expressed art, be it writing, dancing, or playing musical instruments, there are often certain factors that dictate the quality of the resulting artistic expression. Art, being primarily an expression of the artistic talent of a person, is not necessarily limited to being classified as being "beautiful" or "ugly", since the experience is relative to the beholder. There are, however, certain norms that are adhered to when determining the worth of an expressed art. There is a general consensus of what people consider pleasant to look at or hear, and therefore, classify as generally "good". For example, there are certain expectations around the violin techniques used when playing...
Increase Your Brainpower - Two Basic Ways
There are many techniques you can use to temporarily increase your brainpower. These include problem solving techniques, exercises in imagination, and stimulants like deep breathing or caffeine.

Beliefs About the Purpose of Education

Is this a temporary or permanent trend? So many of us have varying beliefs about the purpose of education that it is hard to come up with a consensus about what we should do as a society and a culture.

After all, now we have all this stuff; computers, media, internet, television ad infinitum. They say, to teach music to our kids is passe. This trend is evidenced by declarations from our politicians about how we need more and more...
Relative Pitch and Tuning Electric Guitar
Most of us rely on electronic tuners to get our guitars into tune. These are, of course, very reliable and accurate. Gone are the days of bands spending ages playing notes at each other at the start of a gig, in order to get all the instruments in tune. There is, however, an art to tuning by ear, which can also give the musician a greater appreciation of guitar notes and how they react when they are played together. Tuning electric guitar is possible using just one reference note. If the reference note is E you should first tune the bass E string. Once this is in tune you fret the E string on the fifth fret which gives you an A note. You can then use this to tune the open A String. Once this is in...

Success Building Activities For Your Adhd Child
Design the daily life of your child with activities that work for ADHD children! According to one Hockey Coach: "High-energy kids with low-attention spans work best with fast-paced sports like football, basketball, or hockey." Games like football have less down-time than baseball, so an active, distractable child automatically keeps more engaged. Try Individual Sports If your child is not interested in team sports, try Martial Arts or Gymnastics. These kinds of sports are individualized and highly-structured, so that an ADHD child can achieve at his own pace. "Kids need structure, and children with attention deficit need even more" states Peter Jaksa, PhD, clinical director of ADD Centers of America...
Digital Music Production and the Loss of the...
With the arrival of synthesizers, contemporary music has become an area where MIDI performance rules over actual human beings playing their instruments in a live session in many cases. The advantages are very clear: it is cheaper than hiring musicians, no more extra takes since you can edit MIDI performances, room acoustics lose importance, and many others. But is this enough? Are these synthesized sounds created with mathematic algorithms able to replace the human touch? I often think that a lot of the music produced by hobbyists sounds very generic or lifeless. The thing is that in the right hands, these MIDI performances can rival the sound of live musicians. With innovations in technology we are...

Have a day off each week, but try your best not to have more than one day off as you will start to lose any improvements you have made. The more experienced you become the more practice you should do. But don't forget the first golden rule!

How One Can Connect With Their Body
When we're in the creative flow, we can sometimes forget we even have a body, because our minds are exploding with color, sounds, words and images. But when unhealthy habits sap your body of its vitality and strength, your creativity and productivity will be sapped as well. What could be more frustrating than the interruption of your creative flow by an uninvited headache, back spasm, dullness of mind or the "shakes"? I once heard the expression that as a guitar player, I'm a "small muscle athlete" - meaning I need to warm up those muscles and treat them well. Perhaps as artists we're ALL small muscle athletes. After all, we do need a good measure of physical endurance to get through our creative...
