Life Children

without comments

Therefore it is better given 15-20 minutes to ensure that a child with fun and efficient implementation of the occupation. Competition. You can try to interest the child, using a little competition, for example, who quickly learn a song, mother or son? And in the end to present the prizes, such as a chocolate medal. You can try using a different technique. Some of the parents sit down at the instrument and slowly begins to learn the product, constantly asking the child, as well as play this or that.

Many children it is important to show parents their skills so they can take the game and go to the tool. Freedom in creativity. If playing the piano is closed only on learning of and performance works on the program, the child begins to perceive the piano as a hostile object on which it is forced to play. Piano – is not child's toy, but you should try to position it so way that the child saw him as an object of the game. If a child comes to the piano not only when it is time to do, then it is very good.

For this example, you can take any story and try with your child to make a musical fairy tale – to interpret the text to sounds. Fairy tales children love. Accordingly, the objects with which turns a fairy tale, children also enjoy. The game always comes out as if in two temporal dimensions: the present and future. On the one hand, it provides a momentary personal pleasure is the satisfaction of actual needs. On the other hand, the game is directed to the future, since it either projected or simulated life situations, or fixed properties, qualities, skills, abilities, personality necessary for social, professional and creative functions. VL Sukhomlinskii wrote: " Let us examine carefully the place of the game of life … For a game – it is a most serious matter. The game opens, the children of the world, reveals the creative abilities of the individual. Without these, and can not be full mental development. The game – a huge bright window through which the spiritual world of the child joins the life-giving flow of ideas, concepts about the world. Game – it is a spark ignited spark curiosity curiosity. " VL Sukhomlinskii also noted that "… a full spiritual life of the child only when he lives in a world of games, stories, music, fantasy and creativity." Meanwhile, the game over the years is less significant role in life groups, dominated by school-age children. One of the reasons – lack of attention to the development of game theory students. The clearest example of a game introduces us to the position of teacher activity, AM Makarenko. He wrote: "One of the most important ways of parenting, I think the game. In the life of a group of children is a serious and responsible role play should occupy an important place. And you, teachers must be able to play. "

Blues-Rock

without comments

Often, the blues is perceived in music as a primitive form of jazz, a style that has developed almost in parallel. However, the concept of the blues has its roots in the late 19th century, and it is inseparably connected with Southern U.S. Negro culture. Pre-war acoustic blues was a part of black folklore, so the attitude of the white population was very bad. By the end of the forties of last century in the Blues finally settled electric guitar. It is hard to say what prompted many to switch from the usual blues acoustic guitar to electric, but the blues since greatly changed. Most often, the electric blues associate the names of Muddy Waters, BB King, T-Bon Walker and Albert Collins. Each of these musicians (and many more not mentioned) are the personification of his time.

His music career they did not currently amassing state – they just lived the blues. All these musicians have reached an unprecedented level of skill in the electric blues, and often their music is directly bordered by rock, so many rock musicians call their own inspiration. But Despite all this, the ratio of the blues from the majority of white Americans has changed for the better only in the sixties of last century, due mainly to the emergence of the blues-rock. History of the blues-rock takes began in the late fifties, and lasts to this day. The first to cross the blues with rock started, oddly enough, not the Americans and British.

In The Woods

without comments

Although also in the music of this movement is involved in a real drive combined with repetitive guitar riffs, in most cases, dirty buzzing sound and turning into a dense veil. It is quite absurd, and one might even say preposterous combination has created this course and it is possible that for this reason it is referred to and not so to that branch of traditional doom metal. In geographical terms, is considered the birthplace of the United States. Lyrics to the compositions also reflect the themes related to the familiar lyrics of doom metal in general, where the moments slip through the expression of the creativity of bad pain, denial of all (nihilism) and frequent strong hatred. Although the image of the group performing sludge doom metal, yet very different, they have a completely different, his own outlook on life. This course can be identified as prominent members of Crowbar and Eyehategod. Black-doom metal (also known as blackened doom): once again witnessing the merging of two genres – black metal and doom metal. Of doom metal was borrowed slow pace, and from the black metal standard is taken Vocals – screaming, with respect to guitars, they are usually overwhelmed distorshenom.

The content of lyrics is often extremely nihilistic, depressive naturalist and nature. Representatives of this flow can be identified Bethlehem, Nortt, Forgotten Tomb, etc. Avantgarde-doom metal: this is for mainly characterized by an unusual display of original and unexpected sounds, the basis of which was taken as doom metal, but expressed in an unusual form with a decent share of experiments, so these groups is difficult to clearly identify and correctly attributed to a particular stylistic direction. The representatives include commands such as: Dolorian, In The Woods, Aarni. Thus, from above we can conclude that, in tracing the chain of the birth of the doom metal, as an extreme form of the direction of heavy music, you can see, how was it gradual development, starting from the ground and ending with the genre, so to speak, intermediate its branches. Than a greater number of species it falls, the greater the progress, each time adding a new and unexpected mix. Of course, it is difficult Now, what comes next in the evolution of doom metal, but one thing is certain, that initiated the process is irreversible and to be continued …

Sound Recording

without comments

Was a hard working day, you came home, tired, terribly … brewed coffee itself, lay on the sofa, hid a warm blanket, turned on the TV. “Sometimes you want to relax and enjoy a pleasant singing favorite artist” – thought you pereschelkivaya channels. And lo and behold! At one of the music channels are a concert of your idol, your beloved artist. Or maybe your favorite band or duo … you relax, feel the peace and tiredness vanished.

However, you do not even suspect that you have so beloved star recorded her voice in advance, and during the speech she had no choice but to open your mouth and move seductively across the stage. How to understand Pop star sings to the sound recording or a “live” if you have to be content with just a video recording of the concert, broadcast on television? After all, professional sound engineers are doing their best to word Song fell right in step with the “opening the mouth” of our all star. Let’s face it. As you know, no one performer physically can not sing the same song exactly the same way a few times. We have in mind that the tone votes may differ, the quality and sound system setup may be different (different microphones, different equalizer settings, tone, volume, etc.) If you hear a favorite song, the artist in concert, and intonation, timbre and loudness of voice, it is not different from the studio recording (the one you’ve heard on a CD or computer), you can be assured that this “veneer”. Also an artist, was invited to the concert, may, during losing something to shout into the microphone (something like “Thank you”, etc.) When pop stars sing a song to the sound recording, sound muffle her microphone.

And then an artist begins to shout something, setting the stage for the audience, and this is a much quieter (despite the fact that he screams, not sings in a calm voice) than the lyrics. This is the most common case, issuing a soundtrack. However, if an artist sings a song, and you feel that he does not, as for studio recording, but still offers the auditorium to sing for him a couple of verses, sending a microphone in their direction, then you can be sure that you do not cheat, this star deserves the praise because they sing live. Relax, keep your drink flavored coffee and get pleasure from watching a concert.
