15 Fabulous Songs for Male Jazz Singers (with audio!)

15 Fabulous Songs for Male Jazz Singers (with audio!) Suzy S. Guys, ready to explore the world of jazz? There are so many good jazz songs to sing and talented jazz singers to check out! Here are some  top picks from voice teacher  Molly R... For beginner vocal students (or ANY vocal student, for that matter!) nothing beats a jazz standard! Even the rocker guys I work with agree that mastering a classic can do  absolute wonders for improving your voice. Jazz songs are great for singers for so many reasons: phrasing, musicianship, improvisation, strengthening your middle range… sold yet? Then why not consider one of these 15  great songs for male jazz singers? There is a huge variety here: you’re bound to find a few that you’ll love to sing! 1) “Fly Me to the Moon” What a fun one! You can swing the rhythm like Frank Sinatra, or sing it “straight.” That’s why jazz is so great you’ve got choices! 2) “Hello, Dolly!” While I don’t suggest you try to  emulate Satchmo’s signature scratchy sound, this song is swinging! Fun fact: it became a #1 hit that booted the Beatles off the top of the charts in 1964. 3) “Embraceable You” A beautiful Gershwin standard! It’s sweet, slow-paced, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Here’s Nat King Cole singing it in his smooth style. 4) “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head?” This is another uptempo jazz song that is witty and just  sheer fun!  This is performed by the legendary Dean Martin. Although it’s often performed with a full  band, don’t let the big sound fool you. This is always a treat sung with just a piano, too! 5) “Misty” Numerous singers have made this heartfelt ballad their own and can you blame them? It’s easy to improvise and the lyrics are just lovely. Here it is performed by the gentleman who made it most popular, Johnny Mathis. 6) “All of Me” Again, Mr. Sinatra shows us how you can make choices in jazz. Here, he swings the rhythm. Although you also have the choice of singing it slower and more in the style of a ballad. Either way, this is always a solid choice! 7) “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” I  love this song because of the clever and memorable lyrics. In this video, Harry Connick, Jr. gives this classic song his cool flair. 8) “A Foggy Day in London Town” The Gershwins did such an amazing job of painting a picture of a place with their music. Here’s further proof of that with Michael Bublé’s version this wonderful number. 9) “I Won’t Dance” This sassy song by Jerome Kern is sometimes sung as a duet, but it’s also sung as a solo jazz piece. Legends such as Sinatra and Tony Bennett are among the many who have sung it, as well as movie star Fred Astaire, seen here. 10) “It Had to Be You” Does anyone have a jazzier tone than living legend Tony Bennett? Hes one of the greatest male jazz singers of all time just listen to how simply but effectively he delivers this uplifting classic! 11) “All the Way” This standard has one grand, sweeping melody. Its the  perfect tune to show off emotion as well as how well you can build a phrase. 12) “Stardust” This one was made for intimate jazz club settings! It’s especially beautiful with nothing more than simple piano accompaniment, as heard here with Harry Connick, Jr. 13) “The Girl From Ipanema” Like many of the jazz songs in this list, there have been countless versions of this piece. This was even a Top-40 hit in the 1960s! Many have given this a Latin feel, but note how Nat King Cole gives it a slightly more traditional sound. 14) “When Sunny Gets Blue” Smooth… cool… and yet very emotional at the same time. Ah, that’s why we love vocal jazz! Mel Torme, the “Velvet Fog” himself, sings this so beautifully, with impeccable phrasing and diction. 15) “New York State of Mind” Billy Joel was no doubt inspired from great songs of the past when he wrote and recorded this favorite new standard in the 1970s! Many of the greats have put their own stamp on his salute to the Big Apple. Wouldn’t this be a great number to either open or close a show with? So there you have it! Fifteen fantastic jazzy standards that are perfect for male jazz singers of all ages. (Ladies, check out my list of popular jazz songs for females here!) Of course, the best way to determine the perfect songs for you is by working with your voice teacher. He or she can easily help you find what is best for your vocal range and musical abilities.  If you don’t already have one, TakeLessons can help you find your perfect match for either online or in-person voice lessons.

The History of Sewing

The History of Sewing Learn to Sew: a Brief History of Sewing Lessons ChaptersBasic Sewing: How it All BeganSewing Projects: from Early Civilisation until TodaySewing Tools: Do You Have These in Your Sewing Kit?Patterns for Success: Fashion Shows as Creative ExpressionHow did the practice of sewing get its start?How did it evolve into the multi-billion dollar fashion industry we all know of today?For our next speculation, we must outline the following fact:To clothe oneself is a necessary aspect of human life.If that is indeed the truth, why do clothing prices range from a few pounds for a serviceable, off-the-rack garment to evening attire and business wear that costs more than a month's wages  for some?Why are events that showcase talent in clothing design so heavily attended?How did we get from draping ourselves in animal pelts to scantily clad Victoria's Secret models parading on the fashion  runway?Would you believe us if we said that high fashion and the Titanic are intimately related?Let Superprof now draw back the curtains of time, take you bac k to that first stitch, to see how it grew into the sewing culture we know today.Discover also how to sew from our sewing tutorials...The first sewing needles were made of bone Source: Wikimedia Credit: British History Museum fashion shows and high fashion itself became a part of high society living only toward the end of the 19th century.And it was all because of an Englishman named Charles Frederick Worth.Impoverished in childhood, he was apprenticed to Swan Edgar in Piccadilly at age 12, after an unsatisfying tenure at a print shop.He moved to Paris when he was twenty one and, even though he spoke no French, found employment at a fabric store that sold their goods primarily to the royal court dressmakers.Annoyed by the mediocre quality of dresses sold in complement to fine shawls and cashmere scarves  the store stocked, he started sewing his own designs, which caught the eyes of the well-positioned clientèle that frequented said mercantile establishment.The rest, as they say, i s history.His fine stitching and expert tailoring won him entrance into the world of dressmaking.Today, Mr. Worth is revered as the father of haute couture.Thanks to him, Paris became the world's center for fashion.Especially after 1868, when the Trade Association for High Fashion was established in that city, many aspiring tailors and designers, even from other countries, set up shop in Paris.Plenty of native French did so, too: Jacques Doucet, Mrs Paquin, the Callot Sisters and Paul Poiret among them.Although Mr. Worth was the first to use live models to promote his designs, the credit for popularising the practice goes to another English native: Lady Duff-Gordon.Working under the professional name Lucile, she was the first designer in the UK to gain international acclaim.Lady Duff-Gordon is the originator of the mannequin parade, the precursor to the today's live fashion shows.Quite apart from the fashion world, she is also known as one of the few Titanic survivors.Aside from the fame and scandal garnered by the Titanic rumour, more and more designers jumped on the idea of live models displaying their creations.The rumour in question is that  that her husband allegedly bribed crew members in their lifeboat to not turn around and rescue more people.It was Lady Duff-Gordon who trained the first catwalkers to adopt the haughty mien still expressed by models today.The idea of using models to demonstrate how designed creations flow with the body's movement caught on, and soon, regular fashion shows were scheduled through the Trade Association's three branches.Thus, fashion became an industry.Find out how a serger makes sewing more efficient!The American Natives' tipi are created by sewing animal hides together Source: Pixabay Credit: SkitterphotoSewing Projects: from Early Civilisation until TodayPrimitive man drew on natural resources, found in his environment, to clothe himself and create shelter.Crude sewing techniques were born of the need to protect oneself : from the elements as well as more tangible threats.Early man's wardrobe consisted of tanned animal pelts.Sewing needles were fashioned of bone or ivory, depending on the region the clan in question roamed.Elemental thread was made by stretching animal guts and tendons.Needless to say, nobody in the Paleolithic era hosted quilting bees.Instead, greater means of self-protection were devised.As our earliest ancestors designed more tools, they would find new ways to work hides: for building shelter and for foot coverings.American Indians are notorious for their craftsmanship in that respect. The design for their traditional moccasins, deer hide sewn with thin strips of the leather, survive today.Would you like to bet they would have loved to have had a rotary cutter for their fine, detailed work?Meanwhile, in Africa, where protection from the elements was not such an urgent affair, occupants of the Cradle of Humanity used broad, sturdy leaves tied with vines to protect their feet.Howe ver, as hunter gatherers, they were far more interested in fashioning baskets. This was done by interweaving various types of leaves and grasses together.The earliest records of woven fabric â€" felt made of wool fibres, date back about six thousand years. Chinese silk goes back just about that far.Depictions of clothing from Ancient Greece reveal that, while fabric was certainly dyed, it was not sewn.The fashion of the day called for draping lengths of cloth; metal clasps were worn to hold things together. There were generally no seams or stitches of any type in any of those garments.Over millenia, the process of producing fabric grew ever more refined until, around the Middle Ages, well-to-do citizens of Europe could treat themselves to tailored dresses, pants and shirts.For the most part, the job of sewing these pieces was confined to women, who were labeled seamstresses.The next big step in the evolution of sewing came from Barthélémy Thimonnier, the inventor of the sewing mac hine, in 1830.A tailor himself, he married a woman whose embroidery designs earned her a living in her own right.His machine, patented with the help of a mining engineer, permitted him to establish the world's first machine-based clothing factory.It did not last long. Reports indicated that the workers themselves burned it down, out of fear that these machines â€" that could sew six times faster than hand sewing, would cost them their jobs.A subsequent patent was issued to Mr. Thimonnier for an embroidery machine, ostensibly to make his wife's work easier.The final historical step in sewing was taken by an American named Walter Hunt, the inventor of the lockstitch sewing machine: the same, efficient method used in machine sewing today.He also designed the safety pin; frequently used in making quilts.Join the discussion: should the art of sewing be reserved exclusively to women?Sewing Tools: Do You Have These in Your Sewing Kit?Needle and thread does not a sewing kit make.If such is the extent of your allowance to needlework, you may need a sewing tutorial or two.A well-equipped sewing kit should include, at a minimum:a needle assortmentincluding sewing machine needles, if your crafting aspirations include more than easy projectsa thimble or twoa collection of thread â€" of all types and coloursa needle threader would probably come in handy, toostraight pins and a pincushiona seam rippersewing scissors  - you may want to consider buying pinking shears and a rotary cutter; not just fabric shearsmeasuring tapeGoing further: you might frequent the sewing notions counter to select an assortment of zippers and buttons, maybe some hooks and eyes, or other types of  fasteners.A chalk pencil or two would come in handy for tracing patterns and marking fabric. You could pick it up when you select your sewing patterns.Elastic, velcro and bias tape should also be on your list.You may be starting out with simple sewing projects, but as you learn more, the more sewing suppli es you will need.If you are intent on going beyond hand stitching; if you have already bought your first sewing machine â€" or your first serger, you may have to take a couple of sewing tutorials.At the least, you should learn sewing machine terminology: bobbin, presser foot, thread guide, feed dogs, and stitch selector.You should also know the names of various types of stitches: backstitch, whipstitch, slip stitch, running stitch, blind stitch, basting stitch...You might opt for sewing lessons online: install your computer right in your sewing room, so that you can practice  the various manoeuvres  as you are learning how to sew.As you are taking these sewing courses, you may hear these basic sewing terms:seam and seam allowancehemliningdartspipingquiltingIn short, here is the straight stitch on sewing basics:Rather than picking up sewing tips from watching sewing videos, or reading sewing blogs or sewing books, it would be best to learn how to sew from somebody who is qualified to teach the craft.Check for sewing classes London here.Learning how to sew is a pattern for discipline and creativity Source: Pixabay Credit: 4Me2DesignYou too can gain an entire lexicon of sewing terms!Patterns for Success: Fashion Shows as Creative ExpressionIn spite of the insouciant attitude evinced by catwalk models during Fashion Week, a great deal of work (and worry!) goes into realising those biannual displays.And, what crowds they draw!Not just spectators and buyers for retailers, but the models, the designers, the artistic creators  - music arrangers, lighting engineers, set designers...The press!And behind the seams, far from the hullabaloo; concealed from the lights and behind the backdrop:The seamstress, finishing those last few sewing stitches on a hem or neckline, even as the model saunters toward the runway, with the garment swirling around her, showing it off to its best advantage.The prop master, checking the patchwork on purses or the appliqué on jackets â€" if th at season's line calls for such.The unsung dressmaker is, to great extent, responsible for our twice-yearly frolic into the tricks and technique of that multi-billion dollar industry.We should take our hat off to that sewer, even as we expound on the fact that high fashion does not necessarily produce practical garments for everyday wear.Fashion is not a particularly profitable enterprise.While it is true that a dress or skirt â€" or a scarf may fetch several thousand pounds, few people have the means to buy them, meaning that all of the skill and passion invested in these shows yields proportionately little return.And, after all of the confetti has been tossed and the champagne drunk, there remain bills to pay, including the wages of those that stitch the lofty threads together.The machine driving this phenomenon, besides the economy, is recognition.Fashion houses need to keep their label vital, visible and current; in touch with the times.In fact, one could say that they create th e times!Fashion Week happens in three major European cities: Paris, Milan and London; and across the pond, in New York.Their hype and embellishment seem to contrast sharply with any beginner sewing projects you might have undertaken out of fabric scraps from your grandmother's pattern making, doesn't it?Tying the knot on this sewing introspective, we conclude:Fashion, above all, is an art of change. - John GallianoIf such can be said of fashion,  shouldn't that sentiment include  plying the needle and learning to sew  as a step in your personal evolution?Discover how you can learn to sew from the masters of fashion!Explore how to interface fabric.Find out about French seams.

Musicians Checklist How to Promote Your Band [Infographic]

Musicians Checklist How to Promote Your Band [Infographic] Megan L. Congrats on getting the big gig! Whether youre preparing for your bands first show or your album-release party, these tips will help you learn how to promote your band, make your best impression on stage, and get invited back to the venue to do it all again. Share this Image On Your Site pstrongPlease include attribution to TakeLessons with this graphic./strong/pbr /br /br /br / pa href=/blog/how-to-promote-your-band-infographic-z01img src=/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Musicians-Checklist-Gigging-Tips.png alt=Musicians Checklist: 23 Little Things That Will Help You Nail Your Next Gig width=710px border=0 //a/pbr /br /br /br / p At Least One Week Before Put up posters around town. Dont rely completely on social media and the Internet to promote your band. An eye-catching flyer or poster is another great way to grab attention and bring people out to your show. Step up promotion on social media. Share and re-share your Facebook event and a digital image of your flyer or poster, and make sure youve invited all your local friends and followers. Contact local bloggers, radio personalities, and alt weekly writers. If you can get a little media coverage for your gig, youll be able to reach new fans. Plus you can share the coverage you get on social media to keep your current fans engaged and excited. Look for people who specialize in covering local music or music in your genre to help you out. Send an email to your local fans. Maybe youve noticed that its hard to reach all your fans on Facebook? For that reason, its a great idea to have an email list, as well. When you have a big show coming up, you can be sure your fans will get your email. The same cant be said for your Facebook posts. Confirm advance information with the venue. Make sure you know what time you need to set up, how long your set is, and the terms for payment have been agreed upon. The Day Before Double-check your gear. Do all your cables work? Do you need new strings? Better to take care of those things now than have an equipment issue on stage. Pack your gig bag. I like to bring a bottle of water, a couple protein bars, a roll of duct tape, extra ear plugs, sharpies, spare guitar strings, a handful of guitar picks, a bottle of hand sanitizer, and a small notebook with me to each show. Pack your bag the day before to get it out of the way and reduce stress the day of the show. Print or write copies of your set list. Dont wing it on stage. Make sure youve planned your set and practiced it before your show. Plan your outfit. Figure out what you want to wear and lay it out somewhere. Dont add stress  by scrambling to find the right stage look  at the very last minute.  If youre in a band or ensemble, talk about what youre going to wear with the group so you can present a cohesive image. Get a good nights sleep. Youll perform better when youre rested, and youll have more fun. The Day Of Banish your stagefright with a calming activity. Get into a good mindset by reading a book, meditating, exercising, or watching your favorite show. Figure out what calms you and helps you prepare to play like the rockstar you are. Eat a light meal two to three hours before you perform.  When youre on stage, you dont want to feel heavy and sleepy like youve just eaten five Thanksgiving dinners, but you also dont want to get hungry and lightheaded. Have a healthy meal so youll be on top of your game. At the Gig Be there on time. Being punctual shows the venue that you respect their time, appreciate the opportunity youve been given to perform, and that youre professional. Seriously, if you dont follow any of these other tips, you must at least show up on time. Always be polite and professional. Save your complaints about the crowd, venue, or other bands for the privacy of your rehearsal space. When youre at the gig, be positive and kind. You never know whos watching, and you want to make a great impression. Say hi to the sound person, and remember their  name. The sound guy or gal is the person who has the biggest impact on how youll sound in the audience. Be nice to them, and always remember to thank them for the  help. Make friends with the other bands. Hang out and watch their sets, and theyll want to stay for yours, too. If youre lucky, the other bands will  like you and offer you another great gig. Dont forget to bring merch. One of the best ways to make money at a gig is to have something for sale. Additionally, people will remember you better if they have something to take with them. Whether youve got stickers and CDs or vinyl records and t-shirts, dont play a show without putting something on the merch table. Always thank the venue, the fans, and the other bands during your set. Be gracious, and spread the love. Being likable will help you get further in your local music scene than just talent alone. Have fun on stage!!! Enjoy your time in the spotlight. Your audience will feel the vibes and have a great time, too. The Next Day Post thank yous on social media to your fans, the other bands, and the venue. Keep the good times rolling by thanking everyone again. They  will notice and appreciate it. Re-post the photos that your  fans shared at the gig. If someone captured a really great live shot of you, show other people what they missed out on by sharing it. You can generate buzz for your next show by sharing how much fun your show was last night. Update the upcoming gigs list on your website. Make sure your concert listings stay current by updating your site the next day. Or, if remembering to update your list is too hard, sign up for  Songkick  and their widget will update for you when the gig has passed.  All you have to do is enter your performance dates, and Songkick will display them on your website, Facebook, SoundCloud, and other sites. Once  the gig has come and gone, remember that the most important thing is the music. Keep practicing and working on your craft, whether you have a show coming up or not. You can always  improve musically, and youll likely find you get better with every gig you play. Rock on, and good luck! Do you teach music lessons?

Homeschool Tutors in New Orleans - Private Tutoring

Homeschool Tutors in New Orleans BobbiM Mar 17, 2013 Homeschool Tutors in New Orleans This post is the first of a series Im calling: Subject by City. What I mean is that Im going to highlight tutors that teach a specific subject in a city. Make sense? Okay, here we go. Todays subject of the day is Homeschool. And the city is New Orleans. Hence, Homeschool Tutors in New Orleans, or, people that homeschool within 20 miles of zip code  70119. Feel free to see the rest of the Homeschool Tutors in New Orleans area. A Quick Observation So, Ive noticed that there is quite a bit of inbound traffic from people looking for tutors that homeschool in the New Orleans area. I have a hypothesis. From what I know, and I could be totally wrong, New Orleans doesnt have the best public school in the state. If thats true, then Id imagine a large number of parents wish to homeschool their children because they might feel that by doing so their children could receive a better education than from the public school system. Heres what I think is interesting. Again, Google, through their search prowess, is describing a social phenomenon. They can predict I believe accurately which states are more likely to homeschool their children based on search data. How cool is that!

3 Signs Its Time To Transfer Colleges

3 Signs It's Time To Transfer Colleges Photo by Buro Millennial from Pexels #1. You Finished Your Associate’s Degree If you have finished your college studies up to the point that you have achieved your Associate’s Degree, then you are at a really good stopping point to transfer schools. An Associate’s Degree basically encompasses all of your general education requirements, without necessarily going (or going too far) into your major’s requirements. A big concern with transferring schools is that you will lose credits for classes that you have already takenâ€"just because you transferred does not mean your credits will. But an Associate’s Degree is a good springboard that will help more of your classes be accepted if and when you do transfer schools. The degree basically offers you a lifetime lock on the credits you have already completed. It is often cheaper to get your Associate’s Degree from a community college and then transfer to a four-year college or university for the specialized classes from your major. Why pay more for the same classes? And if you find that your studies are not a great fit, you transfer schools and it is still not a great fit and you decide to leave school if you did not first earn your Associate’s Degree when you leave school you will have nothing to show for it. If you use your Associate’s Degree as the turning point, you will always at least have that degree on your resume. #2. Your Major Program Is Not What You Wanted Maybe you are super psyched about being a theatre major. Or a business major. Or whatever major it is that you chose. But something about the program your school offers makes you sort of hesitant. If you are a theatre major, maybe the program does not offer enough support to those students interested in aspects of the field besides acting. If you are a business major, there is not enough emphasis on entrepreneurship, which is what you are most interested in. Yeah sure, you could get by, but you are not getting what you wanted or needed from the program you are enrolled in. If you are not getting what you are paying for our of the program, it might be time to transfer colleges and into a program that better matches your goals. #3. The College Just Is Not the Right Fit Sometimes, the best-laid plans go awry. Maybe you researched the heck out of this school before you chose it. Maybe you visited campus a dozen times before you started there. Maybe you talked to several people who do or have attended the school. But once you were actually there, enrolled as a full-time student, you just knew something was not quite right. Maybe you thought you would like a small student body, but now you feel as if you know everyone but can’t find the right people to fit in with. Maybe you thought you could handle harsh weather, but once you were living in it, you hated it. Maybe you thought an urban or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, a rural environment might be best for you but once there, you knew it just was not the right vibe. Sometimes, a school will simply not be the right fit for you. There’s nothing wrong with thatâ€"you just need to find a better fit! pexels.com In the end, only you can decide if it the right time for you to transfer colleges or if transferring colleges is really the right fit for you. But keep a close eye on the signs because you want to make your future as bright as possible while keeping yourself happy and healthy too. Keep in mind that everyone’s college journey is a little bit different and there is no shame in doing things at your own pace and in your own way. Good luck!
