Finding the Skills to play Piano Chords

By Michael J. McNeal


The piano chords are examples of the most engaging things to learn on the piano. For the main part of your study, a professional teacher will emphasize the significance of playing the keys by ear, reading sheet music and understanding the history of music. If you are a piano player who is attracted to the more modern songs of the era, like rock, pop or other less standard tunes, they will be of benefit to the most, from commencing with the basic skills of piano playing.

If you watch a performance where a piano is used? You could have had thoughts on how to play piano just like they do. Where did they learn? How did they master the keys?

Songs played on the piano such as Celine Dion, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, OneRepublic, Sarah McLachlan, Coldplay are easier to grasp and memorize when the piano player understands traditional piano chords. Even some of the most skilled guitar enthusiasts learned to play by ear by playing chords. They are more easy to remember and your hands have a unusual way of recollecting and remember all the piano chords. It is like your hands will find they have a mind of their own, they will not forget.

You might compare practicing and playing piano to speed typing. All an individual needs to do is place their hands on a keyboard and they're typing over 200 words a minute. Now you may not be that fast, but speed is not the issue, it is remembering the keys without thinking. You let your hands lead you.

So what are Piano Chords?

You will find that Major chords are interlinked with the letters of the alphabet. Let us take for instance: F, G, Bb, C. To play a major chord, you skip or jump over each other note. If you're playing the C chord, you will skip playing D and F. For the chord of G, you may focus on playing the notes of G, B, and D. You won't play A and C.

Now as you could already understand there are keys that are white and black on the piano. With the white keys there are 3 major chords that may be played: C, G, and F. Yet for the sound or song to sound just right , you will need to add in some black keys. One example you can play a D chord by using D, F, A.

By touching the keys in the right order, you can easily learn to understand the easier piano songs. After you master the basics, it just a matter of time till you start to grasp the more advanced music. As they say practice makes perfect.

What Size Djembe Drum Do I Need?

By Ruth Williams


Which djembe drum size you need will be dependent on your particular height, drum playing ability and whether you will be mainly playing the drum whilst standing up or sitting down. Djembe drums can be played whilst sitting down and also standing up - with the aid of a djembe strap.

The djembes with a 12" head are generally best suited for adults. Children should go for a 7" to 10" djembe drum. A good indicator of what size is right for you is how far your hand reaches across the drum head if the heel of your hand is on the rim, your fingers should just cross the centre.

The height of the djembe is also an important consideration as it needs to sit comfortably between the legs. Your arms also need to be able to reach the drum head with ease without having to over stretch. Some of the very agile are able to control the position of the drum with their legs, and actually move it, with smooth, minute squeezing and loosening motions of the knees against the drum's body. By picking up the drum with your knees at the same time as playing, the tone and volume can be altered to add explosive bursts of sound.

Once you have purchased your drum it will take a few sessions of playing to feel comfortable with it. You should practice playing the drum both sitting down and standing up.This will ensure it is the correct one for you, it will soon become apparent if it isn't. This follows the thinking behind the "Suzuki" means of learning music that was once popular. Little children learned how to play the violin and become acquainted with the musical instrument by walking around with it while playing. It takes time to be totally at one with your instrument. Size is an important factor to get right. The djembe is truly a spiritual instrument and one does not want to start off with it in an awkward relationship.

Once the size of djembe which you need has been determined the next consideration is style. Also whether you prefer a traditional wooden djembe or the more modern synthetic type.

SEO Hype Log

By Willis Barnes


There's a whole lot hype in the SEO industry probably because it is a techno field plus is very competitive so everyone is trying to eyebrow everyone else and get the upper edge.

Being in my antiquated 40's - hippy 1965 baby to be exact - I have been around the IT industry well before most of the current players were out of diapers. I was there in our computer room when they unveiled the latest hard drive - it looked like a modern day top-loader washer and was the same size! All up it held a 'breath-taking' 40 Meg of data. Yes that is right 40 Meg! When we saw the new micro PC's come out we felt they would never take off (we must have had IBM blood in us!) and the IT journey went on from there.

Today my 'long teeth' dip in my beer and my eyeballs roll back in their sockets when I hear some of the hype plastered around the Search engine optimization playing field.

Yes Search engine optimisation can be specialized but only usually while you got it wrong from the outset - your site that is. If you did not employ a good SEO consultant to provide you with the rundown BEFORE you started building then you most probably wound up with a site punctured with a million Search engine optimisation holes. These web sites normally takes some fixing for sure. Many web designers do not know anything about Search engine optimisation and what they do know they almost never put into action due to the fact they are not requested to by you! Not hiring a great Search engine optimisation consultant is like constructing a three storey house without using an architect and engineer and expecting the builder to get it right - no way.

I come across a great Search engine optimisation site once in every 100 web sites. It is a weak track record for web-developers. Almost every other single web site is a ship filled with holes sinking in the lower regions of page 196 of Google!

So aside from adding some vibrant pros to this piece I suppose I should add some substance. Well here it is - short and simple (well maybe not that short!)

Content is King

Google makes use of inbound links a lot at the moment to judge a internet sites popularity. However, it's now quite simple to produce back-links of good quality in significant volumes to unbalance the ranking game. Google knows it's got to find the right way to balance this out. When it does, most people's position will come crashing to the ground overnight.

On the other hand, Google always wants High quality content - the best it can display. Should you have this, then because content is the only reason why we have search engines like google in the first place, your website will usually excel no matter what twists and turns Google puts its search engine algorithms through.

Never ever overlook that content rules within the SEO jungle. Ignore at your peril.

We struggled to get content on clients internet sites for so long until we built it into our Search engine optimization ranking packages. We now offer a content and back-linking service (SEO.SIMPLE.) that solves this inherent problem. Now our clients get fresh unique content on their web sites weekly and gain ranking results from it seeing it is Search engine optimization optimised as well.

Your content delivery engines needs to be well tuned

Don't think that anyone can just add content to a internet site and miss out on the platform you're adding it to. Google wants to make sure that the content is not just the best for the key phrase requested, but it also gives one of the best user experience. So make sure you cross your T's and dot your Search engine optimization eyes when it comes to making certain your website provides the very best experience such as doing these :

Make sure your server is quick - Google a short while ago added this one - upgrade right now if it takes too long to load your internet pages

Be sure ALL images have ALT tags WITH meaningful content material

Make sure every page has a UNIQUE page title relevant to the content of the page

Fix Canonical issues (were http://www.yoursite.com and http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com/index.php etc all resolve to the same page but have different addresses. Instead they should all redirect to a single page and that page should be utilised throughout the site in all links. If you are on a UNIX based server this can be fixed quickly usually through the htaccess file)

Make sure there are a minimum of 300 words of meaningful text on any web page - the more the better for Google

Make certain that if you are using a Website cms that the URL's are fixed so only words show up (and preferably keywords) and not funny programming expressions and numbers

Whenever you create a link use a keyword(s) and not the notorious 'click here' as the anchor text

If you cannot add content material to your internet site (maybe you have a flash site), then at the very least add a blog attached to your internet site - this helps a whole lot

When you next renew your current domain, renew for at least three years - of course longevity shows maturity and increases trust

Back links and more backlinks

And lastly don't cease back-linking. Right now it's the powerhouse for Search engine optimization but don't rely on this for the long term.

So I hope this has helped 'de-hype' a few of the Search engine optimisation materials out there and assisted you along the Search engine optimisation highway a bit further.

Photography Techniques For Landscape Scenes

By Jon Warner

Deserts are an excellent place to take pictures of the night sky, a long exposure can capture the movement of stars.

Coastal regions provide a huge variety of photographic opportunities. The way in which you approach taking pictures of sea coasts and marine scenes would depend upon the type of shore that you are in proximity of. Consider how to best convey the atmosphere and action that is present. Search for elements that can help to reinforce the type of feeling which you are hoping to convey.

Taking photographs of forests can be challenging. You will need to get a sense of the character of the forest and the feeling that it arouses in you. For example, the trees may appear light and airy or dark and brooding. As with all photographs, use these landscape photography tips to try and use a point of interest within your frame.

When you are reading such reviews, there are a number of things that you need to note. For starters, you have to make sure that they offer high quality items. For instance, the diamonds that they sell need to be genuine, not fake diamonds such as diamante diamonds.

However, just because you are buying genuine diamonds does not mean that you should be overcharged for them.

Model Casting Calls

By Bobby Franklin


A lot of aspiring models want to know the best place to find all modeling casting calls. There are tons of modeling casting calls that people don't even know about. They look in the wrong places.

Here are thousands of modeling casting calls that are updated frequently. Your agent should be also helping you find modeling gigs and if they aren't getting you any, you might consider getting a new agent. If any company like an agent or model agency asks for money upfront, I would be weary because they can promise a lot of things but not follow through. Get a professionally taken portfolio that you can show modeling casting directors and get a headshot along with a full-length professional photo taken.

Modeling agencies also need to know your measurements such as your height, weight, and bust size. If you are not comfortable with posing nude, do not compromise your standards and stick with it.

Treat your career in modeling just like a whole entity in business. Just like Nike and other brands, you are a brand within itself and you need to market yourself. With more and more recognition, you'll also receive more and more opportunities to be successful. Want to get into Modeling and acting? Here are some jobs for you to go for to become a top model. You can also try to get a MTV casting call.

On a final note, be sure that modeling is something you want to do. The harsh reality is that modeling isn't all fun and games. There are a lot of long grueling hours ahead and lots of traveling and no rest. Beat those things in mind when going forward in modeling. Maybe someday your picture will be in an ad in the middle of Times Square. Good Luck!

A Harmonica Case Is A Smart Investment

By Martina Angely


From the first tentative notes on the dime-store harmonica, to reaching proficiency, is a thrilling journey. Harmonicas can be easy for beginners to learn, but the soul of an accomplished musician pours through this homey instrument with the richness the rarest Stradivarius violin can muster. Harmonicas, like violins, will need care and protection. The right harmonica case takes proper care of your harmonica.

##History of the Harmonica

A European teenager named Christian Friedrich Buschmann patented a primitive precursor to the modern harmonica around 1821. This flexible little reed instrument was copied and improved upon for the next thirty years. In 1857, a German clock maker named Matthias Hohner began producing harmonicas. Hohner brought the harmonica to North America in 1862, and by 1887, his operation was turning out one million harmonicas each year. Today there are hundreds, if not thousands, of harmonica models to choose from among, along with specially engineered harmonica cases.

##Harmonica Music

Though the harmonica is usually associated with folk and blues music, this flexible instrument features in rock and roll, as well. The harmonica cases of musicians like John Popper of the band Blues Travelers, or Bob Dylan in his heyday, must hold remarkable varieties of gleaming harmonicas.

##Getting Started

The thrill and freedom of playing the harmonica starts as soon as the initial pleasing sounds are breathed out and in. A little bit of experimenting produces recognizable tunes, and the novice musician is addicted. Harmonicas vary extensively in price; begin with an inexpensive model, especially if the instrument is for a young child. It's tempting to stuff a harmonica into your pocket, but trying to keep the instrument in its harmonica case helps to protect it and extends its life.

##Basic Care

Keep the harmonica as clean and as dry as you possibly can. Do not let food or drink get into the instrument; clean you mouth and teeth prior to playing. Replacement reeds are available for some models. And try to keep your harmonica in its case when you're not playing it.

##Support Equipment

In addition to harmonica cases, provide the appropriate cases for all your instruments and equipment that supports your music. Audio equipment cases are imperative for moving and storing the support equipment that helps your music sound best in any setting.

Gothic Mystery And Its Permanent Place In Literature

By Shawn Houston


Literature is about entertainment and instruction. In the case of Gothic mystery it seems that entertainment may be ascendant. The genre has so many obvious features of entertainment that some people might think that instruction plays a relatively minor role except to teach wide eyed girls to be very careful of men, particularly those with dark piercing eyes wearing a cloak and living in a castle.

The Castle of Otranto was the first novel in this genre, published in 1764 and written by Horace Walpole. Many similar works by other authors followed. Novels, poems, plays, films and even architectural features that belong in the genre have particular features which make them identifiable.

Long ago Aristotle proposed that literary works need opposite impulses of fear and pity to make them interesting. One advances towards pity to help but retreats from fear to escape. The tension in the imagination inspires irresistible interest and involvement. In this genre readers or viewers experience pity for the vulnerable heroine and fear of her tormentor.

Mysteries do not have to be extreme but they must involve the unknown. As readers are taken through a process of revelation their curiosity is both stimulated and satisfied. Literary works in which curiosity is mixed in with pity and fear are potently interesting. Readers can easily become addicted romping through stories rapidly.

Early examples of the genre were often set in castles. These are buildings that are supposed to be safe, and yet they can often be seen as frightening places especially when they have towers and passages that are often dark. In contemporary tales writers may abandon the castle for a large building built for one purpose but serving another such as an abandoned factory.

Metonymy is an effective literary ploy much favored in Gothic mystery. The small, ordinary house comes to stand for the psychological perversion of the people who live in it. As the rules of the genre are followed many opportunities for metonymy emerge adding to the entertainment possibilities for audiences who wish to enjoy the thrills of being frightened.

At least 63 percent of eighth-graders in 32 other states read at a level below proficiency.

To assist educators and parents in helping children become more proficient in reading, SFK Media Specially For Kids Corp. provides an innovative learning program called ReadEnt. It blends reading with entertaining movies to teach and improve vocabulary and comprehension. These Reading Movies use a patented technology called "Action Captions," which show each spoken word on-screen, in real-time, as a character speaks.

According to SFK Media, this type of captioning is effective in improving the rate of vocabulary development and comprehension. The words become ingrained in the children's minds and, therefore, both reading and spoken language skills develop naturally.

One of the hot things in renting movies is online renting. If you rent a lot of movies, this may be an option that you'll love. You can buy a yearly membership with some companies and rent as many as you want the whole year. Of course, this is only a good option if you and your family rent movies on a regular basis. Compare the costs. It may be a great deal for you, especially if everyone in your house likes a different kind of movie.

ReadEnt's Reading Movies are available as interactive DVD programs for use on the TV or computer and include such classic titles as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Tales of Gulliver's Travels" and "The Trojan Horse." They can be used in a variety of different teaching configurations: as a shared experience on a single television monitor; as a guided activity, where a group of students interact on their own computers; and as a one-to-one tutorial, in which the teacher or parent assesses the child's comprehension and vocabulary recognition.

Using The HDMI To DVI Cable For High Speed Video Transfers

By Wetha Lotan


HDMI which stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface is a system developed for transmitting uncompressed digital signals between a host of compatible audio video devices. The HDMI to DVI cable was introduced late in 2003 around about the time that High Definition Television was becoming popular.

The cable is able to connect most set-top boxes, Xboxes, Play Stations and DVD players as well as Audio Video type receivers to computer monitors, HDTV's and other consumer AV equipment.

On one cable, any PC or TV video format can be supported. This includes up to eight channels of uncompressed or compressed digital audio and a CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) connection. This CEC connection has the capability of allowing various high definition devices to control one another and gives the user the ability to operate several devices using only one remote control.

Because DVI (Digital Visual Interface) and HDMI signals are electrically compatible, it is not necessary to convert the signals. Also, there is no video quality loss suffered by using the adapter cable. The current standard for the high definition interface is fast becoming the digital replacement for co-axial cable, S-Video, composite video, VGA, D-Terminal and SCART.

Rapidly approaching the de facto industry standard for HDTV, the marketing group In-Stat says that ninety percent of all high-definition TV sets manufactured in 2007 were fitted with the interface. Subsequently, In-Stat reported that 229 million of the devices were purchased in 2008 followed by a further 394 million in 2009. They further predicted that by the end of 2009 every digital TV would have HDMI installed.

There are four types of connectors and they have been named A, B, C and D. Type A is a nineteen pin connection and is DVI-D compatible. Type B is a twenty nine pin connection but carries a video bandwidth double that of Type A. Type C is a mini nineteen pin connection and is used by portable units. Type D is the latest nineteen pin connection, but the plug itself is a micro version and resembles a micro-USB plug.

There are several versions of the HDMI standard with each version being allocated a number. Currently versions 1.0 to 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 are available with all of the versions using the same cable but having increased bandwidth and capabilities for each subsequent version number. Although a maximum length for the cable has not been specified, resistance in the cable and the way it has been manufactured together with the materials used, places a limit on usable lengths. HDMI to DVI cable is currently manufactured in lengths ranging between 5 and 15 meters.

Why Buy Used Guitars

By Lance Sermons


People buy used guitars for two main reasons. It's primarily because of the price and preference. Vintage guitar fans, guitar collectors and seasoned guitarists obtain a particular brand or kind of older used guitars for the reason that they prefer them, while beginners and first time buyers on a tight budget usually try to find used guitars to spend less.

A classic used guitar of a popular brand or model is often valuable to a vintage guitar collector for many reasons. First is playability. Experienced guitarists have likely played various types of guitars of several brands. Eventually, they have somehow gained technical knowledge and so they know well which guitar brands or models are most playable.

Second, classic, exclusive edition or custom guitars become valuable instruments. They are really ultimately, no small investment for almost all guitarists. Vintage instruments and rare models made by well known brands which include Gibson, Fender, Epiphone, Gretsch and Martin are usually considered collector's items. Usually, the older they get, the more likely they become expensive. The passionate enthusiasm for such types of used guitars makes these instruments more costly.

Next is definitely the quality of wood materials and sound. Top guitar manufacturers are famous for superior wood materials and sound quality, hence guitar enthusiasts pursue them even when they are already used because they realize that such guitars sound better and therefore are longer lasting.

On the other hand, a novice guitarist and first-time guitar buyer often saves money with a used guitar for a great deal of reasons.

Used guitars on the market may have some aesthetic imperfections, but even so, if they are still fully functional and operational along with a reasonable price, then they're definitely much to consider.

If you're buying for the first time, it isn't needed to spend a huge budget over a guitar that'll be used as a student or beginner instrument. A second hand guitar in good, functional condition can be regarded as a great deal.

Most beginners would rather use acoustic guitars than the electric ones, simply because acoustic guitars generally don't require purchasing a guitar amp in order to be heard well, which can make it relatively less pricey. Another highlight is you don't have to locate a power source when playing an acoustic instrument. Therefore, an acoustic used guitar that's still in quality is generally a practical investment.

Once you learn what to search for in used guitars, you actually can have a deal that's worth it. However, if you believe you still need expert consultancy for your proposed guitar purchase, it's far better to seek their help.
