Resonators: • Sinus • Nasal Cavity • Palates (Soft and Hard) • Oral Cavity • Tongue • Pharynx The articulators are responsible for enunciating the lyrics/words of the song. Articulators: • Teeth • Tongue • Palates • Lips [pic] II. VOCAL CLASSIFICATION PITCH The sound of a note is called a pitch. Each key represents different note or pitch. The quicker our vocal folds open and close the higher pitch we produce. VOCAL RANGE Everyone has a different vocal ability which in (mainly) classical, operatic and theatrical circles is grouped into a classification which is also known as 'vocal fach'. A singer with a wide vocal range may cover more than one 'fach' and as the voice develops with age, training and experience, the classification into which the singer has initially been grouped may no longer apply. As general rule: • SOPRANO high female voice, G3 (below middle C4) to F6 above high C6 although anywhere above high C can be included • COLORATURA a singer, usually soprano, who sings ornamental passages in music - C4 to F6 or G6 above high C6 • TENOR high male voice, C (an octave below middle ...

...“Is Australian Popular Music of the 20th Century a mere imitation of American Popular Music of the 20th Century?” Validate your viewpoint by referencing specific music styles, characteristic features of music styles (instrumentation, performance style, rhythm, melody, intervals/scales/blue notes, harmony, texture, and form), bands, vocalists and specific songs. The 20th century has provided music that was the soundtrack for a generation. During this period there was a rise of pop music and its demand. American bands and artists were monopolizing the market, pumping out band after band. Record labels that were prominent at the time were Atlantic, EMI and Warner Bro’s records. The rise of the Billboard charts and magazine also played a significant role in the success of pop music. Australia was also producing bands that were ranking very high on the charts with smash hits. This phenomenon of pop music and pop culture has defiantly defined the generations that it came from. By analyzing and discussing the popular music of the 20th century, we can see that Australia is not just a mere imitation of American popular music. Musical Roots The cultural music of Australia can be traced beck through to the Aborigines. They practiced music not as an art form or means of entertainment but rather as a spiritual ritual or a method of story telling. Their influence on Australian mainstream music can be heard today through their instruments the didgeridoo and the clap sticks. In the...

...What to Listen for in Music, written by Aaron Copland, is a classic reading for music lovers and musicians. Although this book was written almost 80 years ago, it still inspires the music today. Copland does not expect that all readers would be a professional musician and recognize every form of music. The main idea with the book is that the only way to appreciate music, is to listen. Actively listening to music will increase your knowledge and make you more aware when it comes to recognizing the composers’ different styles. One point Copland makes is also that readers or listeners tend to listen to various music styles within the same year; this is a mistake. It is impossible to compare historic composers, such as Mozart and Beethoven, to more modern composers....

The average heart rate at rest under normal conditions of adolescents and adults is 63.3 bpm ± 13.1 bpm, with variability of 3.2 bpm ± 2.1 (Leschka, 2006).

External stimuli or external factors also result in alterations of the heart rate. These include physical and emotional factors. One type of external stimuli that is shown to have effects on the heart rate is sound, specifically music.

To begin with, “soul music is defined as a fervent type of popular music developed in the late 1950s by black Americans as a secularized form of gospel music, with rhythm-and-blues influences, and distinctive for its earthy expressiveness, variously plaintive or raucous vocals, and often passionate romanticism or sensuality” (Kris, "Dictionary.com").

...since changed the music industry forever. For the first time in history people could watch their music being played with this new 24-hour music channel. With such promotion by MTV it jump started the careers of many artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna. With only playing videos music now couldn’t just sound good, it also had to look good if you were going to be a major star. What Jack Black and many people complain about with MTV is that they may have revolutionized music but with the promotion and the major profits these huge stars were receiving, it was simply building the power of the major record industries and gatekeepers who control popular music. Since the early 80’s, MTV has continued to shape what music is popular through the emergence of videos, ratings, and big business. In this paper, I will outline MTV’s quick rise to pop culture king, racism, influence by big record companies, and how they developed the ultimate pop star. In 1980 the United States along with politics, the economy, and music was in an awkward transition. After two wars, numerous Democratic Presidents, and the worst recession to hit America in nearly 40 years, Conservative Ronald Reagan was elected promising to end the recession. Along with politics there was a major transition in music. Disco and punk were falling off the table leaving a huge category of music that was considered“new music” that described everyone from Michael Jackson to Blondie. (Garofalo, 292) After the music industry had hit...

Instruments: Gayageum, Violin, Piano, Haegeum, Daegeum, Ajaeng, Geomungo, Piri, Janggo, Jing, Danso, Saenghwang, Taepyeongso, Kkwaenggwari, and Buk. Venue name, location, ticket price: Music Center Recital Hall, Santa Cruz. $0 Time I was present: 4 pm – 5:30 pm For this event or concert there was an introduction of new instruments for me so I was difficult to follow. The two forms of music that was point out were folk songs (minyo) and sinawi. The folk song was called Arirang and is very important to Koreans. In the form of sinawi, the performer was improvising throughout the performance. The music and each performance that was played was a mixture of strophic and through- composed form. The melodic movements or modes were very hard to distinguish from melismatic or syllabic and the music (folk songs) was explained as loosely defined melodic modes. The music was more toward melodies than harmony. The meter was in triple for the most part. There were very distinct differentiable aspects between female performers and male performers. The most differentiable aspects are their clothing. The female performers have a more colorful decoration than the male performers. The way the performers played their instruments are different...
