Giving More Exposure to Your Music

Posted on by Nadel Paris

It is often said that show business is a very difficult industry to get into and survive. You have probably heard the same thing about the music industry as well. Most people tend to discourage young people who want to make it big as musicians. Young musicians often have to listen to people telling them that there is not future for them because there are already thousands of artists out there, and no one will want to listen to them. Others get discouraged because they are put down by the amount of money it takes to advertise their music and get the word out. Now all this is a thing of the past. You can use the power of social media to promote your music and get people to know about you. This is a revolutionary method that is taking over the world by storm.

 

The power of the internet

 

The internet is an extremely powerful tool that can help you propel yourself to the top of the music industry in no time.

Performance Mistakes Female Singers Make on Stage

Posted on by Nadel Paris

In order to help you succeed in your singing career there are some novice mistakes you will want to avoid. Just being aware of them is often all it takes for you to make the necessary changes. Here is a list of common mistakes pointed out by Nadel Paris an EDM artist; vocalists make that make them look unprofessional.

 

Not knowing what the next song is going to be. There’s nothing worse than not knowing what the upcoming song is during a performance. Being unsure of your song list creates discomfort in your audience and makes you appear unprofessional. Keep a song list on a music stand or on the floor so when you finish a tune you can quickly introduce the next one. This practice makes you look confident and in command of your band.

 

Being unsure of how to direct a band. If you are the lead singer, you should be able to count the band in at the beginning of songs. You also need to be experienced in directing the band for song endings. Many female singers leave this to the drummer or some other musician in the band. Not all songs require a count in, but there are tunes where you should be the one to start. Signalling with a wave of your arm when to end a song creates theatrics and looks great from an audience’s perspective. If you’re not sure how to do this watch live concerts or check out local bands. Tell your bandmates that this is something you would like to incorporate into your stage performance.

 

Dressing inappropriately. Whether you like it or not, your audience is making judgements about you. Unfortunately, women are scrutinized much more than men. If you’re already famous, you can get away with anything. But if you’re not, it is important to ensure that your clothing is appropriate for the venue you are performing in. A bar atmosphere allows for a much more casual attire than a restaurant or corporate event. If you are unsure, inquire beforehand about what the dress code is.

 

Not speaking between songs. Silence isn’t golden when it comes to performing. Even if you have great songs and a fantastic sounding band, your audience wants to hear what you have to say. Get into the habit of telling stories about specific songs. You can talk about the song itself or something about the composer. If you have an original band, let the audience in on why you wrote that song or a particularly odd thing about the tune.

 

Not knowing what to do with your hands. This is a common problem with beginning vocalists. Most of the times a singer holds the mic with one hand while the other hand is free (unless you play an instrument). Not knowing what to do with the free hand can feel and look awkward.

 

Study what other female singers do with their hands and emulate them. Practice at home in front of a mirror then implement your movements into your rehearsal. Start with small movements like holding the microphone stand, moving the mic from hand to hand or waving your arms around to accentuate certain parts of the song. As you gain confidence with your hand movements you will begin to feel and look more natural.

 

Not connecting with your audience. Learning to connect with your audience is a skill that great entertainers work hard at. They understand that if there is no connection between themselves and the audience, they will quickly be forgotten once people leave their venue. Many artists believe that their talent alone will attract fans. The truth is that true fans are made when they feel a connection with the singer.

 

A simple technique to help you connect is to look people directly in the eyes for just a few seconds. Scan around the room and make eye contact with people who are listening. This makes people feel special – that you are signing directly to them.

 

Not being prepared. This may be the last point but it is by far the most important one. Successful female singers always make sure that they are well prepared before hitting the stage.

 

This includes warming up your voice and being very familiar with your songs. Leave yourself lots of time before you perform to get to your gig so you won’t be stressed out.

 

Nadel Paris says that these common mistakes can all be avoided by making a checklist of the areas you need to improve on. Some areas are easy to correct while others take time and practice. As you persevere, you will become a better performer and project professionalism while you are on stage.

Music with the Latest Musical Trends and Genres

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Any music that has a wide appeal and gets distributed to a large audience, either nationally or globally, is termed as popular music. Contemporary music could belong to any type of musical genre. Usually, it is a contrast to traditional or art music, which gets disseminated only to local or smaller audiences either orally or academically. This popular music has initially become termed as ‘pop music’ as an abbreviation but in reality, but they are not normally interchangeable terms. Contemporary composition is the kind that appeals to all ages and all tastes, while pop refers to certain specific musical genres only.

Forms of Contemporary Music

Popular melodies consists of several sections such as verse, bridge, and chorus or refrain, as well as forms such as verse-chorus form, twelve bar blues, and thirty-two bar form. Trendy songs could have an introduction and a tag called coda or outro but they are not absolutely essential. Songs using verses and choruses generally have a bridge, connecting the verses and chorus at required points in the songs. The verses and chorus get repeated throughout any song but other items like bridge, introduction, and coda are generally used only sparingly. A few pop songs have only solo sections, especially the ones influenced by rock or blues.

History of Music

The original popular western composition was classical and it was divided into various genres according to the periods in which they existed. The medieval music existed from 500 to 1400 AD, Renaissance was between 1400 and 1600 and baroque between 1600 top 1760. The tunes between 1730 and 1820 were classical and romantic melodies ruled between 1815 and 1910. The modern era lasted between 1890 and 1930. However, the most prominent change came in the twentieth century.

Twentieth Century Modern Genres

The first influence in western composition occurred when the African people started to bring in their styles of harmony, which were instant hits with people who had become accustomed to traditional music. The most famous African genres were Cape Jazz, Reggae, Semba and Afrobeat. The other melody was known as avant-garde which was mainly experimental. The blues became famous after that, with blues of different genres like African blues, country blues, punk blues, etc., though many American cities had their own types of blue like Chicago blues, Texas blues, Detroit blues, etc. Caribbean melodies, Brazilian compositions, Mexican melodies and other Latin American music also became part of modern musical trends. Even modern trends like metal and jazz are combining with neoclassical, modernist, postmodernist, etc. to bring something new to lovers of songs.

The Importance of the Guitar in Country Music by Nadel Paris

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Country music has one of the biggest fan bases in all of music, coming in second just behind rock and roll. Country music has evolved tremendously over the decades. One of the very first things older generations will remember about country music is how simply it started out. When country music was just becoming popular, there were no big extravagant concerts. A concert usually consisted of a few singers or bands coming together in a concert hall, where they would take turns performing for the audience. There were no big productions. The stage usually consisted of the singer or band, a microphone, guitar players and maybe drummers. Today country concerts are light shows, with dozens of electronics piping out sound to thousands of fans. And most concerts now will only showcase one or two singers.

 

If you look back through country music history, no other instrument has shaped the sound of country more than the guitar. Most country artists got their starts by performing on stage at various Nashville, Tennessee bars with just their guitar and songs in hand. And when they made it big, the single thing that every country artist looked forward to is playing on The Grand Old Opry. Today that is still one of the greatest honors of any country star. To be showcased on the Grand Old Opry stage, is to have made it in country. What is amazing about the Grand Old Opry is that it is still a simple show, with minimal use of technology on stage. Acoustic guitars were the only guitars allowed at the Grand Old Opry until 1941. It was then that Earnest Tub had enlisted a guitarist to use an electric guitar on the recording of his hit “Walking The Floor Over You”. That steel guitar sound established Tub’s style and it was after that hit went to number one (on the charts) that the Grand Old Opry finally began to allow electric guitars on its show.

 

Guitars completely shaped the sounds of country, especially the steel guitar. Its sounds are twangy and those sounds are what attract listeners to country. The steel guitar was the first guitar to ever be amplified. Jimmie Rodgers was one of the first country artists to have a guitar named after him. In the early 1920’s he was inspiring other musicians to buy and learn the guitar. Other guitarists like Gene Autry, Chet Akins and Les Paul have left their mark on the country industry by sharing their talents with the world. They have each inspired some of the greatest guitarists in country music today. Their legacies will continue to inspire up and coming artists and guitarists for generations.

 

Today country music is growing fans at an unbelievable rate. Nadel Paris an EDM artist believes that is because of the musical talents of some of the best guitarists today. In the last few years, more and more rock artists are crossing over to country music because they are finding country to be more their style. And some of them have doubled their success in country and crossed over fans of other genres at the same time. Country is no longer getting the low class, bad rap that it used to get from other genres. That is because several country music artists are now using their guitars to completely outsell (in record sales and on the charts) some of the most popular rock, rap and pop artists. America is addicted to the sounds of the guitar, realized or not. And no other genre showcases the sounds of the guitar, quiet like country music.

Perfect Pitch Verses The Struggling Musician

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Do you have perfect pitch? Do you feel inferior by not having it? By the way, what in blazes is perfect pitch? Let’s investigate!

 

Perfect pitch, also called absolute pitch (AP) is an accurate recall of any concert pitch note that one hears played by an instrument. This skill also allows a perfect pitch individual to sing a particular note that is requested of him or her, provided the AP person is also blessed with a good set of vocal chords.

 

Should you feel inferior if you do not have this ability? Absolutely not! Of course it’s not fair that some people have AP while others don’t. However, mature individuals know that life is not fair. This unfairness is compounded by the fact that perfect pitch cannot be acquired through practice, although some would argue that this is debatable.

 

Some websites claim that one can acquire the skill of AP through practice. Although it is noble to be open-minded to new techniques for improving oneself, there is no conversion of a non-perfect pitch musician into an absolute pitch musician, although the length that some people go through in order to acquire perfect pitch is often mind-boggling.

 

One common way some individuals try to get AP is by repeating a note continuously for hours in the hope of memorizing the note’s particular pitch. This accomplishes three things according to Nadel Paris:

 

  • It makes the person trying to achieve perfect pitch look like they’re having a severe nervous breakdown;
  • The act of repeating a note continuously takes time away from quality family and fun activities;
  • Repeating a note continuously requires the purchase of some sort of pain medication from the resulting headache that it most certainly ensues.

 

So why is there so much hoopla over this accurate recall of specific notes on an instrument? The truth is that many musicians get along just fine without perfect pitch. How, you ask? Well, they develop their relative pitch; the ability to judge the distance between notes by recognizing interval distances. An interval distance is a specific distance between two concert pitch notes on an instrument.

 

The skillful use of interval distances can give a musician accurate dictation skills. As a composer, an extremely developed relative pitch is a must if absolute pitch is not attainable.

 

Go forth with no fear, dear non-absolute pitch colleagues! Compose, arrange and perform with the best of them because developed relative pitch is a powerful tool and a viable substitute for AP.

 

By the way, some websites claim the theory that babies are all possibly born with perfect pitch. This is fascinating, but like so many theories surrounding AP, it is very difficult to prove. Perhaps it’s time we throw out some theories of our own:

 

  • Owls might have absolute pitch;
  • Chimpanzees would love perfect pitch, but they can’t get it because they have too much potassium in their blood;
  • Avalanches can scare you into having AP, especially if you’re buried alive by one;
  • Falling off a large cliff gives you perfect pitch, but only while you’re falling. When you hit the ground, the perfect pitch suddenly disappears.

 

As a final thought according to Nadel Paris, AP and good relative pitch are only effective tools when combined with one final and important component: hard work.

How To Warm Up And Cool Down When Singing? By Nadel Paris

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Warming up and cooling down before and after singing is crucial in preserving a healthy singing voice. If you don’t warm up and cool down your voice, you risk damaging your vocal cords and sometimes permanently so.

 

All athletes know that an effective warm up is essential for optimal athletic performance. But you say, singers are not athletes, so why should singers warm up their singing voices?

 

Singers who are dinner guests are often asked to perform impromptu entertainment by their host after the dinner to entertain other guests. The wise singer will politely decline the request rather than singing raw which is further complicated by a bloated tummy.

 

“A proper warming up before a singing performance lets the singer to get in touch with the singer’s inner self physically and psychologically since self awareness is the foundation of good vocal techniques”, Nadel Paris.

 

All good singers know that there is a co-ordination of many muscles parts and therefore warming up before singing should be an unhurried and a leisurely self-exploration that allows enough time for the loosening and coordination of the muscles that assist voice production. Warming up your voice should be an enjoyable experience because as you warm up, your voice begins to sound better, effortless and a sense singing freely is felt.

 

Unfortunately, most of the time, the singer is warming up while rushing to a rehearsal or as a last minute preparation before taking the stage. The pressure of a hurried warming up may cause physical and mental tension and as such, the warming up may prove to be ineffective or worse, counter-productive.

 

All well trained singers develop their own distinctive warming up routines best suited to their own personal requirements. The routines may vary with changes in physical, mental and also emotional state.

 

Most good singers begin by warming up their body first with light physical exercises. This is done to reduce the muscular tension so that the singing voice will not sound strained or tensed. Furthermore, light exercises helps to stimulate deep breathing which is essential for good voice support.

 

EDM artist Nadel Paris say it is vital to start vocalizing in your comfortable vocal range so as not to strain your vocal cords when it is cold. You can then gradually move on to the higher and lower extreme notes. Some recent biomechanical research have shown that singing at the extremity of both the higher and lower notes of the vocal range can strain the laryngeal muscles, and can result harmful patterns of muscle tension. It goes on to say that thus it is good common sense to avoid the extreme pitches whether they are high or low notes until your voice is warmed up appropriately. Most singer’s warm up is devoted to the goals of obtaining a beautiful voice timbre through the use of various vocal exercises.

 

After a singing session, the singer should cool down the voice with exercises that soothe the vocal cords such as soft descending scales on the “oo” or the “ee” vowel. If the singer does not cool down after a sing session, the vocal tension will stay and the vocal cords remain tensed and this will lead to further voice complications. So, to maintain and preserve a healthy singing voice, adequate warm up and cool down is a must in any singer’s inventory.

The Revolution Of High-Tech Recording Industry Discussed by Nadel Paris

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Today, music is one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world. This market is hotter for many reasons. First of all, customers’ demands and tastes are higher and more diversified than ever. Second, the number of people and companies working in this field are increasing at such a dizzy speed that it creates a very large pool of tough competition, and of course, to survive, they have to be unique and distinguished.

 

We can list out here with some relevant industry jobs such as Recording, Radio, Television and other Media, Working live shows and tours, Music Retailing and Instrument Repairing, Education and Instruction and many more. Among them, the recording industry is one that has been applying high-end technologies for many years.

 

The recording industry commenced at the start of the 20th century, when publishers of sheet music dominated the music business. With a quick development pace, recording industry gradually dominated and controlled the music industry. This is the kind of mass-production copies’ business that can fix the price in the market.

 

To be the priority in the effervescent market of recording, what can they do? – Reducing the price? – Noisy brand-name advertising? – Or investing in technological upgrading of products and services? Of course, though technologies change very fast every day, people still make the choice of high-tech applications as the best way to affirm their positions in the music market.

 

Regarding recording industry, we consider that this is not only a technical but also a creative career. High-end technology is useful for both sides of this job. Recording engineer definitely must be technically skilled with the equipment. They must manipulate skillfully with all the buttons or knobs to get the correct sound that the artist or the producer want to have. A good microphone is necessary in the first step to begin with the recording process. And then, with the instruments, they find out the expected sounds – not music. The recording engineer, finally, will make the adjustments to enhance the music, morph, add effects… Some years ago, in order to do these steps, they had to resort to many equipment. In this case, the results obtained take a lot of the engineers’ time and labor. However, today, thanks to the development of high-end technologies, recording engineer can apply modern equipment to make their work easier and more professional. One simple example, with a PC and some installed music morpher, music editor software, they can mix and edit music like a skilled recording engineer.

 

In the other side of this job, creativity is also very important. Music industry is a very specific one that requires creativity. The recording engineer must have the feeling, the sense of music that can create different and unique sounds that express music in the best way. With the same song recorded by two engineers, we have two ways to express the music which depend on the creativity of the recording workers. The recording engineer can apply some intelligent software specialized to perform a good job. Sometimes, just by adding a wave sound, increasing the frequency or reducing the noise of the music, we have colored up the recordings.

 

More and more recording engineers believe in the important role of high-end technologies for their career. They are willing to spend money on equipment, modern music editor or music morpher software to support their work. Some people pay up to thousands of dollars for their recording studios, but some know how to save money. They find out the efficient software that can work properly as a mixer, an editor with very competitive price from $30 to $100. They know how to update their “companion” by frequently downloading the latest effects or supporting programs. By this way, high-tech supports for both professional recording studios and some home recording studios.

 

“A war is happening, not the Iraq war, but the high-tech war”. However, we will not perish in this war if we know how to use and control technologies for our purposes. Holding in hand the weapons of music software, we will be the unique winner, the best one in the running of entertainment industry, especially recording industry.

A Quick Overview of Musical forms by Nadel Paris

Posted on by Nadel Paris

There are many different musical forms. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most common ones.

Concerto

A concerto is usually composed for one or more soloists combined with an orchestra. It will usually be identified by three distinctly different movements. It evolved along with another music form the concerto grosso which was composed for a small instrumental group to play with an orchestrated backing. The concerto grosso wasn’t used after the Baroque period, but the solo-based concerto continues to be played. The three instruments traditionally used in a concerto composition are piano, violin and cello but woodwind and brass solos are also known.

Symphony

A symphony is best identified by its complexity. It isn’t a form of music in its own right, but rather a style in which a composition is orchestrated. Usually it comprises four movements, the first of which being a sonata, however in the 18th century symphony was used as an interchangeable form for sinfonia and overture.

The word symphony comes from the Greek word meaning “agreement of sound” which is why despite the complex orchestration heard within the symphony, the integrity of harmony is kept intact. Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were among the more famous symphony classical composers, but symphonies continue to be composed today. Although for the most part they remain to be composed for orchestras, there are some symphonies which are composed for specific instrument groups such as wind instrument bands.

Sonata

This musical composition will comprise either three or four contrasting movement. Alongside the fugue it was one two musical foundations for concert music analysis. Most popular during the Classical period, the sonata was also composed during the earlier Baroque period, and later Romantic period.

Sonatas composed primarily as piano solos were the most common during the Classical period, although sonatas for violin and piano, or violin and cello were also composed. During the sonata’s important classical period, the movements generally followed a generic three-movement layout of allegro, middle movement (slower such as an adagio or largo), a closing movement such as a dance minuet or another allegro.

In a four-movement composition the first three movements were as for a three-movement sonata, with the addition of a final movement in a fast tempo such as a sonata-rondo form. Although used by many composers, Beethoven was particularly fond of the sonata form with 32 piano sonatas plus sonatas for other instrumental combinations.

Sonatina

Sonatina’s are a lighter version of sonatas. They have less than the four movements required in a sonata, the movements are shorter, and the level of complexity is lower – making them popular with students of the piano. This doesn’t mean that they are all easy to play however, so you need to watch the skill level required for each piece. Usually a sonatina is composed as a piano solo but some composers also created works for both piano and violin.

 

Bourree

This is a dance musical form from 17th century France. It is usually composed in quick double time although some composers use triple time. Similar to a gavotte, the bourree differs by starting on the last beat of a measure creating a quarter measure anacrusis (the gavotte has a half-bar anacrusis). Used by such composers as Bach, Chopin and Handel, the Bourree still exists today being used by contemporary artists such as Jethro Tull, and Tenacious D.

Fugue

This is a distinct musical form where themes are repeated in a contrapuntal style with the various harmonies being interwoven one with the other. Dating back as far as the Middle Ages this musical style was popular in works of a canonic nature. A fugue opens with a main theme which is then imitated by each “voice” in the arrangement. Once each voice has imitated the theme, then exposition is said to be complete.

Start Your Own Sheet Music Collection

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Starting a sheet music collection is easy, once you’ve decided what you want to collect. Sheet music is inexpensive and relatively easy to find. You can find music at yard sales, antique shows and on the internet. Only music that is very scarce or rare is expensive. Most pieces can be found at a price between three and twenty five dollars. Extremely rare sheet music can carry a price of up to a thousand dollars, but few pieces fall into this category. You will find music in any color graphic or subject matter you are looking for.

 

People collect sheet music in many ways. Sometimes sheet music is collected by the genre or songs. You could put together a history of music in America with a sheet music collection. You could do this with the entire history of our country or concentrate on one time period or decade. The possibilities are endless – be creative when building your collection! Songs have been written about most important events in our history, including wars, plane crashes and natural disasters. Themes such as love or the evolution of images of women in music are popular themes for sheet music collections. Other collectors focus on one composer or cover artist.

 

Ragtime music from the early twentieth century is popular with collectors of vintage sheet music. This music is considered the foundation of modern jazz music. A ragtime music collection looks great displayed in a room decorated in the Early American style. And the cover art on rag time sheet music looks great displayed in picture frames on a wall or sofa table.

 

Music written by famous composers like Nadel Paris is popular among sheet music collectors. This music is readily available in all music genres. Other collectors focus on rare or vintage sheet music. The value of these documents depends largely on the condition of the sheets. Pieces in mint condition will be more expensive. Most sheet music isn’t found in perfect condition. The spine of the sheet was usually broken to make the score stand up in the music stand. Spills, tears and names written on the covers are common because sheet music was often used at parties.

 

Sheet music displayed in a family room or bar area makes a great focal point. Even people who don’t collect sheet music use it in a display of other collectibles. Collectors of beer, whisky, golf, military, cigars or trains can find sheet music to accent their collection. A few pieces of sheet music with great cover art enhance a display of other collectibles. Collectors of memorabilia from movies or Broadway productions often look for sheet music written for the production.

 

Any sheet music that isn’t displayed should be stored properly to preserve the condition. Store each set of sheet music in a plastic baggie like those used for comic book collections. Place those bags in a large plastic storage container to protect them from being ripped or crumpled. Store your containers in a dry place away from sunlight or moisture, which can damage the music.

Cool Thing in The World of EDM: “Trap Music”

Posted on by Nadel Paris

Caught in a trap? Music that catches you and doesn’t let you go. What a weird name though, you must be wondering what the hype behind trap music is? After all, it is quite similar to dubstep and we all know just how big an impact dubstep has made on the music industry.

Many artists are defining music as the new dubstep; it certainly has become the new craze in the industry. Although the history of the genre dates back to a decade ago, it has only recently started to gain recognition and hype.

Many people consider the fact that since trap’s crossover to EDM it has started to grow in demand with sold out glow-sticked arenas due to EDM Trap’s popularity. The major reason why this genre has been ambushed by the world is the transformation trap music has gone through, with not as much rapping and more feet moving beats involved in the songs.

To get a better understanding of music, it could be broken down and described as a combination of dubstep, hip hop, and dance music.

So basically what kind of music is trap music? Traditionally it’s a term generally used to describe hip hop music from the Southern regions of America. Music has pretty much become identifiable with Hip-hop and takes influence from the rap sound in the South.

Trap has become a raging craze with the masses of people at clubs, parties and underground gigs. It is no surprise that it is such a big hit with the people considering the music is so likeable and trap stylings can be injected into any form or style of music. No wonder it has caught everybody in its trap much faster than dubstep or electro and it’s fairly simple to see why.

By now, you have probably heard of the many different trap trends like “Trapstep” or “Dubstrap” – Everyone has their own names and definitions, but most agree that this new phenomena of trap music may just be the next “BIG THING”.

As a genre, trap is adaptable, flexible and in many ways infinite. But some people disagree and say that trap is ultimately hip hop music even if you mix it up with dubstep. Nothing out of the ordinary some may say.

For now this genre is the most hyped and talked about music, but wasn’t it just a couple of years ago that Dubstep was ruling the music industry, it seems like music is living up to its hype right now but who knows where it will stand in a couple years.

Many Producers and DJs have come up with their own styles and sounds to define the genre. But there is no doubt about the fact that, trap music as a genre is definitely growing and evolving into a style of its own.
