Singing Falsetto

Falsetto is a very common thing for soft mezzo tones. Many singer do not always sing from the diaphragm, yet often produce a pleasant sound.  Falsetto is the preservation of false notes. These notes are usually not able to be capped in a singers' normal or natural vocal range. Utilizing falsetto often builds your natural range depending how you exercise it. Other times it can be detrimental to your normal range if used incorrectly.  There are several ways to sings such as utilize the throat/head register, chest, diaphragm. The diaphragm is the most technically common best to utilize most often, and to pull from falsettos occasionally.

Setting up your music group by vocal part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor)

In a duo, usually one singer will sing in the high key while the other sings in the low. For larger groups such as trios, quartets, choirs etc., you will need at least three parts for harmony.  In order to produce harmony, you will need soprano, alto and tenor. Soprano is the highest vocal range. Alto is the medium vocal range. Tenor is the deeper range. The traditional way of organizing a choir/group is to have the soprano on the left, tenor in the middle, and alto on the right. If the choir director is left handed, then you will usually have the soprano and alto switch positions. Within the soprano, alto and tenor, there are high soprano which the voice range is higher than of the low or second soprano. The high or first soprano is usually able to hit higher notes and contain finer voice texture than second soprano. There is also high or first alto, and low or second alto. There is lower range after that called "contralto which is the very lowest alto between alto and tenor. Next is the tenor which also identifies high tenor and low tenor. The high tenor, countertenor  are often able to sing high as the alto,  some synonymous with soprano using falsetto, but technically still considered tenor.  Men are usually tenors, and often many instructors do not identified them with sopranos or altos technically. Although some men are able to sing in high keys and have enormous range, once they reached past the puberty and the vocal chords have expanded, they are identified with tenor or lower. On the flipside, young boys can be identified with soprano and alto. Extra vocal parts of a choir are the baritone, and bass. Although some choirs do not have the baritone, it the actually the most common voice part for male.  The baritone is the step lower than the tenor. Bass is a step lower than baritone. The bass synonymously identifies uniquely in tone to the that of the bass guitar.

The soprano is the first melody, alto is the harmony, and tenor is the second melody. Usually in a choir the hardest to detect is the alto part because it is exactly the harmony that is the middle. Sometimes when you are able to sing or recall a song, you will sing it in the soprano or tenor melody. Some choir/group songs will be sung in unison of the melody. Often times for this procedure  the low will be sung by all the males utilizing the same note,  and the females utilizing one note.

 Often time in gospel choir songs you will have a low harmony at the beginning, then a sudden transition to high by the end of the song. This usually adds motion or hype to the song, to keep it from being needless to say static or some describe as boring.  Usually in this inverting procedure, the soprano will move up a higher note, then the alto will move up to the last note held by the soprano, and the tenor will move up to the last note held by the alto. It is the inverting of the note with the sudden transition from low to high. When this takes place in the songs of depends on a variety of things with the composition the song.  The inverting may be done after the  bridge,  after a selected number of times repeating the main chorus, or sometimes at the vamp of the song.

How to warm up vocals before singing

When you wake up in the morning your vocals are deeper. It is usually due to the long period of resting which has the vocals to become more relaxed. Some people have snoring conditions. Snoring is an actual strain to your vocal chords. Often people with allergies easily notice sore throats due to snoring and the sinus draining the nasal passage, and the air passed on the vocals.  If you experience these conditions extensively, you should use extra time to rest your vocals before singing. In the morning your vocals are prone for dryness. Before utilizing your vocals in song, drink water. It and clears and moistens the vocal chords.

The important thing to remember is to make sure you start out in soft mezzo tones before you belting out or occupying your full range. Too much projection before exercise can weaken your vocals. Exercise your vocal chords and build your tones. Do your crescendo to smoothly increase volume.  You want to utilize the musical notation scale from low to high. The simple do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do works fine. Maintain the exercise in a low key, yet occupying your normal register. Do not start out in a deeper octave than your natural range, or you will not be able to adequately progress through keys. It is imparitive to do this in perspective order, or you may experience excessive of cracking and also straining etc. Simple 5-15 minute warms up are fine for beginners based on experience.  You may go longer based your experience, condition of the voice, and according to the instruction your music teacher.

Eddie Long Sex Trap

Eddie Long is senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithuania, GA. It is a very large church. There are around 25,000 members of the congregation. The church owns about a block of the street possibly more. The Sunday following the allegations of Eddie Long's sexual scandals with  fourth young boys, Eddie Long's congregation paraded in church to celebrate him. Some were doing the jungle buggy across the alter and offering up praise and worship clearly to their pastor. There many were fans. Fans will defend their idol to the core. They wanted to make a clear declaration that they were honor him regardless of the circumstances. The church was overflowed that Sunday more than normally.  Among the attendees were gospel singer and Elder William Murphy, and many others. In fact there are many celebrities at New Birth Missionary such as gospel singer Dottie Peoples, preacher Bernice King, and of the popular "Sex Trap" Evangelist Wanda Davis-Turner. By the way, I do not know if Wanda Davis Turner saw this situation coming to her pastor. But it looks like his alleged sexual scandal was trapped. Eddie Long said "I am not a perfected man, but this one I am going to fight." He slammed the microphone on the podium, and walked off the stage rather arrogantly. He never addressed the allegations of sexual coercions with the young men of his church, and seems as though the members are not demanding are not demanding an answer. Everybody seems to be going with the usual flow of services. Eddie Long chose to be celebrity pastor of large congregation and leader of the vast growing boy’s club. His life is not private, so he owes the public and attendees of his church an adequate and honest response to the allegations.

Gospel Singer Ted Wynn who is the leader singer on New Birth Missionary Choir’s cd was interviewed on the Coko show in GA. He was asked the question regarding what is the Christian viewpoint of homosexuality which primarily he negated and avoided the question, then after going around the questions for several minutes, he stated that Christians can be homosexual. That was the incorrect answer because the biblical standpoint is clearly opposed to his answer. When individuals are presented a question, yet avoid it, and do not answer the question from the beginning, many times they become questionable as to why they are not answering the question. The answer is because they have something to hide themselves. That is because they are usually indulging in it, and feel uncomfortable speaking on the subject.

Eddie Long was asked the question and people are waiting for the direct answer to the allegations. There is nothing self incriminating about denying something you did not do. It comes of major concern how could Eddie Long think that these young men would not eventually tell someone that they had been sexually abused by him. They were teenagers, not babies. Although the individuals had no fathers in their lives, they were at the age wherein they had a sense of knowing that something was not right about the relationship. I am sure that the perception that they had of a father was not gay and fondling with his son. The boys should have made rational decision because it is just like being raped, as a child. They had taken sex education classes in school, family life, by the age of 16. The boys should have really be aware to tell an adult, if they received no answer tell someone else. On the other hand, although the age for consent is 16 in Georgia, they were not adults and incapable of making fully rational decision. Eddie Long bribed these boys with money, gifts, and travels. Eddie Long was potentially and very unequivocally using scripture to justify his deviant, homosexual, lustful actions to perform on these boys. Lust never gets enough, and moves on to others to prey on. He allegedly stopped giving these guys gifts, and moved his lust on to other young men once he was finished. The gifts were not for life, he stopped paying their tuition, providing housing, money etc. These boys were drawn by money, and thus felt a need to tell. That is still not rational. The word of God says

present your body a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to unto the Lord.

For Eddie Long if allegations are valid, his homosexual lusts were greater than his brain. Eddie Long needs to sit down because he needs ministering to. If these congregations and the church boards keep putting sick people up to serve in leadership positions, leaders such as this are not going to be no delivered from bondage because they feel like it is alright. It gets the individuals to thinking that deviance is a norm. That is a very dangerous thing.

Eddie Long's son Edward Long says he is not a Christian according you tube video, yet he performs in at different churches and concerts doing so called “holy hip-hop”. There are celebrities and others who gravitate to large ministries like this. Many them have minimal standards. Many of the events are like worldly clubs to meet people rather than worshipping God. It’s about going where everybody else is. Many of these people who never step foot in a small church. Most of the celebrities who attend churches only attend well known churches. That is just food for thought.  Even from New Birth former members and praise leaders, gospel singers Byron Cage and Pastor Gary Oliver who accredits Eddie Long his spiritual father. 

According to news this week, an individual from the New Birth church presumed Elder spoke saying that the Long's program has helped many youth. He went on to say that the travels were included as a part of the mentoring program. According them it takes trips across the country and the world for a a child to experience the presence of a fatherly example in their lives. How ridiculous this story situation is makes it bad for individuals who have a real desire to help kids with no greed, lustful, deviant motive in their heart. After viewing this it is really hard to trust anyone with your kids. Sure the Long program may have help some individuals which are perhaps the individuals who were not sexually abuse by other men while participating.

Eddie Long is in the hot spotlight more than ever before. If these allegations are true, Eddie Long has really been a hypocrite embracing the notion “Do as I say not as I do”. He preached against the homosexuality and held rallies against it. It is a complete contradiction. Many of his dvds, cds, or tapes at the time probably could not sell for $1.00, and many would not be accepted if offered for free. That is sad even in the worst of the economic shortage. Eddie Long preached on the popular sermon he entitled "Delilah". Which is the bible story of Sampson and Delilah. That particular story is about Sampson lusting after the Philistine women. Delilah represents lust. Although there is no homosexuality in that story, there was lust. Eddie Long preached about along with homosexuals and lust. Both of which are situations that he is possibly dealing with. If you would actually listen to message he curses in his message rather often. He embraces mostly anything in his church including hip hop which is a religion/culture. There is a lot of secularism at Eddie Long’s church. The current situation just adds to the things that he has taken from Baal’s alter. Eddie Long just literally ‘Crosses it Up”. His son named Edward Long is the youth pastor, and gospel rapper, yet I heard him say that he is not a Christian. Then why is he youth pastor, how does he lead people to someone to Christ that he does not know, and why is he performing in churches and functions across the country. That is hypocritical. That is crossed up, just as the song him and his father perform “Cross it Up”. Eddie Long crosses both arms in the air as an x cross for the skull/cross bone symbol as a movement dance gesture to this song “Cross it Up.” He also invites congregation in for participation. In his own words, "Cross it Up", yes it is crossed up along with the homosexual allegations and not to mention his toupee. By the way could he not afford to have one like Steve Harvey or Greg Mathis. Eddie Long hair is all crossed up, and backwards.

His church is very large and people see the broadcast on television weekly. They possibly have an influence on the world’s view of Christianity. That is truly sad because that is a misconception. Many times there are strong examples of Christianity even in small churches that may have moral standards and obedience of the word of God, yet often everyone is thrown into one category.  This is not an example of  Christians, and thus they should not be linked to the way Eddie Long is being portrayed. There are true Christians that fear God and are walking according the holy bible, have to stand up. Eddie Long allegations were brought in the public, and it has become a public situation. On top of the fact that these are outrageous charges that need to be addressed, Eddie Long accepted to be a leader to the masses. He needs to be honest and answer to the allegations to the masses. It is a public issue. He chose to be a public, famed preacher. Should his life be private? The word says that there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed. How more is that even true for a celebrity. Eddie Long’s related his current situation to the biblical story of David. Eddie Long said he has about five rocks, and he has not thrown one yet. That story honestly did not work for him. That week one of the rocks were thrown at him with evidence of explicit pictures and texts messages sent to the guys cellphone. David was a man that was chosen by God. Today quite frequently people choose people that they want in position, rather God. They choose people that are often not ready for deliverance not subjected to come in alignment with the word of God.  Eddie Long was engaging in this activity for quite sometime, throughout pastoring years, and could have even been before, but would God designate a person to do something that is an abomination, and contrary to his word? They that preach the gospel must live the gospel. It is a point of crucifying your flesh no matter what the devil sends your way. IT is a fighting spirits that sometimes manifest themselves in the flesh. It is imperative to be an example of walking in the way of the Lord and defeating the enemy.  The Eddie Long situation is a very astonishing situation. The pastor is not perfect of course, but one who is suppose to have maturity in God and in the word of the scriptures enough to follow and properly discern.  According to allegations in recorded statement said he used scripture justify his actions.

 There is a billboard sign at this time that says “Lead like him.” This is not the time for this poster. He is currently displayed as a poor example. Eddie very likely guilty. When you are innocent, you would say so. This is not a petite situation, but it is very major. Long's lawyer said people should be mad at him not Eddie Long because he told him not to say anything. That was not a very rational statement from the lawyer. Individuals are upset with Eddie Long not the lawyer, he did not commit these sexual coercions. If Eddie Long did not commit these acts, he would have denied them openly, but he did not. He would have requested a lie detector test because he has nothing to hide, but Eddie Long did not. The attorney states that the motive was money of these allegation because they burglarized the building. That is not valid because all of the individual did not burglarize the office. Many of the individuals that brought the civil charges against Eddie Long did not know about the others, yet all four stories were similar in allegations of sexual coercion by Eddie Long. There has been about 30 other charges brought against Eddie Long in which I am told that they are not sexual related, but I think there is a cover up.  Some those 30 lawsuits will eventually be dropped. Eddie Long is going to at least pay these young men to be silent and drop the charges, or because he is in a secret organization, they will get him out of the charges.

Understanding the basics of MIDI

MIDI (Music Instrumental Digital Interface) is a common topic in electronic recording.  It encompasses how we communicate electronically through music. It is the communicable transference of musical and electronic components. Midi involves a chain of communication.  For example, if I have two keyboards, but I want the sound to project out of only one keyboard, I would make this happen through MIDI. First, I would have to send signal from one instrument to the other.  I would have to use an output/input connector cable to connect the output of keyboard one to send transmitted signal response through the input channel of keyboard two. The result  is that the sound of keyboard one is now projected  inside of keyboard two. MIDI makes this action possible.

Computers and a series of other instruments can also be incorporated the MIDI process. There is no limit to the number of components connected in the process. MIDI is often used in music studio recording. Many times you hear various sounds in song, which are not  music instruments or least not instruments that would present in a studio, but MIDI allowed it to be possible.  MIDI is a very large topic. Computers can respond to keyboards though MIDI. Each letter and symbol has a musical note value, so the computer and keyboard are allowed to communicate through MIDI. MIDI even includes converter boxes, video camera, vcr, dvd etc. MIDI communication is used in most daily electronic activity.

How to get a high paying job after college

Many people go into college with hopes, dreams, and aspiration of someday landing a great paying career. I went to college with a passion for criminal law. It is so critical for individuals to think in terms of what they have a passion for. You must first develop an great foundational base or experience that motivates you to pursue a selected field. It is very important to do job fairs, and to market yourself. There is a popular slogans "It's not what you know, it's who you know". That slogan is true because marketing yourself is so critical to obtaining a career. For years students were told internships is a guarantee to a job, and that works for some individuals, but many times that alone is not always sufficient. Moreover in the 21st century, it is takes more than just merely completing an internship. Competitions is more rigorous.  People often fail because they do not have a contingency plan. A contingency plan is back up plan. When selecting a minor concentration in college, make sure you are just as passionate about your minor concentration as your major concentration.  Statistic report that a vast majority of the students who graduate from college  will venture in career in the minor, rather than their major.

Social networks are growing.  Many jobs are hiring at times, but they are checking facebook, myspace, twitter and many other social networks. They want to be able to see your appearance, conversation, attitude, tone, and everything. They using these practices to match prospective candidates with job description, and if you do not match or exceed them, your not likely to receive the job. Some people may say that some of them may be a violation of the 14th amendment, but it is true.

 There was a recent article on Yahoo that included "Things not to do on facebook". Well, the most important on the list is to watch your speech. Speaking negatively about your job or boss will often hinder you from getting a job.  Also, acknowledging bad behavior listing things such as late for work, hate the job are considered inappropriate, as well as using profanity. On facebook and social networks, you want to inform people of positive developments about yourself. For example, the following list of things are considered positive,  attending a special honorary achievement awards, listing insightful things regarding your book reading, projects or other relative topics. In maintaining your network, you want to connect the focus of each topic to what your passionate about, while yet maintaining a balance. Balance is important because people have the tendency to overdo it until there is minimal connection. The key thing to remember is that the Internet social network is almost an absolute part of the hiring process for many companies, so you should make it an absolute part of your application to marketing yourself to your destination. Think of it as being a part of the application process along with your resume, cover letter.

Many jobs use a host of strategies such as checking criminal records, credits reports and history. Individuals are to make sure they are free of crime. There is very minimal chance that people will want to hire someone who is a felon, or someone who cannot pass the drug test. As for credit reports, jobs want individuals who have positive credit history. They are not really looking for individuals who do not have any credit, nor individuals who have bad credit or list declared bankruptcy.

 The application of marketing and networking for job is quite simple. The Internet social network and the public relation social network. In the public spectrum, attend job fairs. Present yourself as professional. Develop your own business cards. When landing a job, in the beginning be open to doing jobs that may not be exactly what you want. Be prepared to work your way up. For example, you may see your name on the organization's  flow charts or hierarchy system at the bottom, but months later you will rise top. As far as Internet social networks are concerned, be current and relevant as possible. Add friends of similar or common interests.  Know that if you have links of friends, they can recommend you to other friends. That is what the network is about. It is networking chains that help, if you do not know anyone in your prospective job field, one of your friends knows a friend who is a manager, CEO in your desired field.

 If you are an 18 years old freshman  attending college, and you join a facebook dentistry group wherein the administrator is a CEO, the chances are very high that you will land a great job in dentistry by that alone. That is great because by the time you are 21 senior or graduate, you have already become acquainted consistently involved in the dentistry group for four year. Volunteering while attending college is good way to land a job after college because that is best time to volunteer. Many times it is too late for individuals to volunteer after college because you look forward to earning a living. Many times after college many bills are inquired with time constraints, so it best to take advantage of volunteering opportunities while in college. Also, college workstudies programs are great. Many of the directors of the departments and work studies programs will hire students upon their graduation for full time jobs. Actively becoming involved within the community is great thing for students. Build yourself as young achiever and striver known for doing honorable and noble things within the community such as helping the elderly, community awareness. Build yourself as advocate against crime and issues. Also, running for class office and sponsoring program that reaches not only within the confines of the school, but the community as well. Extensive study and research is a key element.

Students who study hard and dig deep in their field for performing research do best on their jobs than others. These individuals know how to apply themselves. Seize every opportunity granted to gain hands experience because it  has a much longer lasting a effect than merely studying with no hands on training. Some are able to write things down one time, and the information is stored into the long term memory bank. Others have to rewrite and for to grasp the understanding of the information. Moreover, the visualization accompanied in experience lasts longer than studying. Studying with application ensures the most promising results. Always accompany the studying,  hands on experience with social network marketing, and the keys to high paying job are right for you.
