Tip 3: Familiarize yourself with school policies, procedures and deadlines How many times have you said, “I didn’t know,” or “No one told me,” about City Tech policies that affect you? In college you are expected to read school publications to find out about the college’s rules and regulations. At City Tech, these include the Student Handbook, available at the Information Services Center, and the College Catalog, accessible on the City Tech web site (www.citytech.cuny.edu). In addition, you should check the academic calendar each semester, to avoid missing key deadlines. You can get a copy of the calendar at the Information Services Center and on the City Tech web site. The course withdrawal procedure is a crucial procedure that is overlooked by many students. If you simply stop showing up for class, you will earn a WU grade, which is equal to an F, and lowers your GPA. In addition, your financial aid may be affected. Always check with the financial aid office (Namm G13) before you withdraw from any classes....

...females that may need an ambidextrous guitar, but the new product offering will be one of the first on the market. The proposed design of the ambidextrous guitar will have a symmetrical body design with switches, sliders, and straps that offer one of a kind versatility. If there is a market for a new product that does not require ample consumer education, a company that can support fast growth has a substantial chance for success in its introduction (Schneider, J., & Hall, J., 2014, July 31). Justification Ciravolo and DRG have been internationally recognized with numerous honors and awards, such as being inducted into the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM), the Museum of Making Music (MMM), the 2012 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) “She Rocks Award”, Guitar Goddess Magazine’s 2009 “Trailblazer Award”, and the “Searchlight Scholar Award” from the University Wisconsin School of Business. In addition, Ciravolo is seeking to expand her vision of women empowerment with DRG through the exposure of their involvement with their first full-length feature film, the partnership with the print music publishing company Alfred Music, and her partnership with various charities such as Make a Wish Foundation, Los Angeles Women in Music, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation (DRG, 2018). Because of DRG’s established success and vision for their future, they are a company that has proven their ability for continued expansion. Furthermore, the justification of selecting DRG is...

...Sonicbids Success Story: Respect Music and Anthony Salari Placement Respect Music: * As a music publisher, how do you select music that you’ll eventually place? We have a listening session every two weeks . One week before the session all of the new music is given to 4 members of staff who spend time listening to the new submissions in their own time and without confereing to any anyone else in the team. Each member of staff brings the ones that they think are suitable to the final session.The best songs/compositions always shine through, * What type of music typically works best for placement? It depends what type of sync it is – most genres can work- jazz is difficult though. The music submitted has to be broadcast quality. Upbeat positive music works for ads for example. Anything with reference to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol is a no no. So if there is a great song with these references then it is always good to have a ‘clean’ version. * What kind of artist/songwriter should consider working with a company like Respect? We are interested with artists with great songs for sync or songs that could be pitched for other artists. * You pitched Anthony Salari’s song to Jane By Design. How does a pitch like that work? We submitted the song to the supervisor and she came back to us to say that she loved the song and was considering it for the show. The producer got to hear it and even set it as her personal ringtone. A few weeks later we received and email...

...Introduction The overall team process of MGI seems dysfunctional and ineffective; members forming the MGI team brought a variety of skills set resulting from the multi-talented compositions, diversity in ethnic backgrounds, close personal relationships and a shared desire for the product. The main task for the team was to launch a product at the Harvard Business School (HBS) business plan contest, however, the team has failed in delivering such product for the lack of group roles, defining objectives and facilitating communication among themselves. The MGI lacked a manager to lead the group assignments and making sure every task is performed for the best interest of the group; which is completing the task in the given time frame. There was no structure and clear role assignment for members, this led to having more and more conflict among team members that affected the communication process as well as the outcome of the group. Not only ineffective communication was created in such team forming setting, but also a misunderstood perception for each member’s role was generated. One given example, when Dav joined the group, Henry and Dana did not know the intentions for the team founders as to themselves, as they had no idea what Dav’s role was in the team, which affected the team work as a whole. Also, as Henry thought they were very clear in respect to each member’s role that’s been placed initially, each member played a facilitator, moderator, task manager, and strategic thinker...

...Joshua Kelly 205496 Joshua Michael Kelly – 205496 AUD207 Music Production Analysis “Genre History – Experimental/Electronic” Word Count: 1,650 Submission Date: 30 August 2012 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of ‘Bachelor of Creative Technology’ JMC Academy, 2012. 1|Page Joshua Kelly 205496 Once stated by a pioneer of the genre itself, “an experimental action is one the outcome of which is not foreseen” (Experimental Music, 2010). Arising in the mid-20th century, Experimental/Electronic Music refers to an electronically produced sound recorded on tape and arranged by the composer to form a musical composition. ‘The journey of this genre has been a long, boundary pushing and often negatively characterized one. Crossing multiple continents and facing cultural alienation, it has formed into a well-established but still sometimes undefined genre at the crux of technological advances’ (Kembrew McLeod, 2001). It is well placed in this day and time, and like all music nowadays, the inclusion of the internet has seen the genre become more and more popular across the globe. The term “Experimental/Electronic Music” is an umbrella term used in this report to label an idiosyncrasies list of subgenres made with the use of any combination of computers and electronic or acoustic instruments. ‘In no way is the use of this term an attempt to ignore the concrete differences between the way these subgenres are consumed and produced. Although...

...gone through multiple changes. First there were vacuum tube amplifiers dating back to the early 1900’s made by Gibson and Redenbacher, to the transistor/ Solid State amplifier created in the 1960’s. Then the world renowned Jim Marshall combined the two amplifier types in 1991, and the era of the Valve State amplifier was born. These have evolved into some of the best products imaginable, and have become one of the most controversial debates among musicians since the creation of the guitar amplifier. On January 14th, 2010 a brand new era of professional guitar amplifiers were introduced into the world of music. The first lithium battery powered 60watt Grid C-1 professional vacuum tube amplifier was viewed by the general population at Namm 2010. This amplifier is equipped with many great features such as: Tubes: | 2 Nos U.S.-made 1u4 mini 7 pin preamp tubes | Controls: | (Clean Channel) Gain, bass, mid, treble, reverb, volume. (Lead channel) Bass, mid, treble, Gain, bright switch, channel select switch. | Channels: | 2 | Power: | 60watts | Extras: | Effects loop, footswitch, automatic switching between battery and AC power. | Weight: | 40LBS | Kudos: | Good range of clean and distortion tone, loud and punchy, battery...

He was halfway through his final semester in the MBA program at Harvard Business School (HBS), and things were not going as expected. Spring break was about to start, but Henry, like many others in the class of 2002, was feeling the pain of the worst job market in over a decade. Henry recalled the troubled sentiment around campus: Going to business school during the aftermath of the Internet crash changed everything. Before the crash, the feeling was that if you graduated from HBS, you could take on the world. Now people were feeling a lot more insecurity. I was having some doubt about my own capabilities—about what I could accomplish on my own. Anxious to test his abilities and distinguish himself beyond the standard curriculum, Henry had decided to enter the School’s annual business plan contest. About six weeks earlier, in late January, Henry had teamed with HBS classmate Dana Soiman and the founders of start-up company Music Games International (MGI). The MGI founders—an HBS alumnus (MBA ’87) and two professional musicians—later brought two additional students from other institutions onto the team, creating a group composed of diverse views and talents. (See Exhibit 1 for team member bios.) The team was dynamic but very conflicted, and progress on the business plan had been slow. They had...

...The power of music: its impact on the intellectual, social and personal development of children and young people Susan Hallam, Institute of Education, University of London Executive Summary Recent advances in the study of the brain have enhanced our understanding of the way that active engagement with music may influence other activities. The cerebral cortex selforganises as we engage with different musical activities, skills in these areas may then transfer to other activities if the processes involved are similar. Some skills transfer automatically without our conscious awareness, others require reflection on how they might be utilised in a new situation. Perceptual, language and literacy skills Speech and music have a number of shared processing systems. Musical experiences which enhance processing can therefore impact on the perception of language which in turn impacts on learning to read. Active engagement with music sharpens the brain’s early encoding of linguistic sound. Eight year old children with just 8 weeks of musical training showed improvement in perceptual cognition compared with controls. Speech makes extensive use of structural auditory patterns based on timbre differences between phonemes. Musical training develops skills which enhance perception of these patterns. This is critical in developing phonological awareness which in turn contributes to learning to read successfully. Speech processing requires similar processing to melodic contour. Eight year old...

...13/04/2011 Bajo eléctrico - Wikipedia, la enciclope… Bajo eléctrico De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre El bajo eléctrico (también llamado sencillamente bajo)nota 1 es un instrumento musical de la familia de los cordófonos, similar en apariencia y construcción a la guitarra eléctrica, pero con un cuerpo de mayores dimensiones, un mástil de mayor longitud y escala y, normalmente, cuatro cuerdas afinadas según la afinación estándar del contrabajo.1 nota 2 El bajo eléctrico, al igual que el contrabajo, suena una octava más grave de como se representa en notación musical, con el objetivo de evitar un uso excesivo de líneas adicionales en el pentagrama. Como la guitarra eléctrica, el bajo eléctrico necesita ser conectado a un amplificador para emitir sonidos. Desde la década de 1950, el bajo eléctrico ha reemplazado progresivamente al contrabajo en la música popular como el instrumento de la sección rítmica que se ocupa de las líneas de bajo.2 Aunque éstas varían notablemente en función del estilo de música, el bajista cumple una función similar con independencia del estilo de que se trate: establecer el marco armónico y marcar el tiempo o pulso rítmico.nota 3 El bajo eléctrico se usa como instrumento de acompañamiento o como instrumento solista en estilos de música diversos, incluyendo el rock, el heavy metal, el pop, el blues, el jazz, la música latina, el reggae, el funk o el flamenco.3 Bajo eléctrico Clasificación Instrumento de cuerda pulsada Tesitura Contenido ...
