			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As an organist, I have been working in club land in the North of England for the past 30 years or so and one of the crucial qualifications in this environment is the ability to sight read music on demand. When I say music this can be anything from a beer matt to a ripped piece of paper repaired with selotape and stained with beer.</p>
<p>To be fair most of the music is written by professionals and is nice to read but not always easy. As a club organist, you do not get a band call. In fact, you are lucky to get five minutes to scan through between 10 and 15 pieces of music. Some written in different keys and some organist will tell you they hate it when they get a piece of sheet music written in six sharps, six flats, or even seven sharps, and there is a solo especially for you. Oh the joys of live music.</p>
<p>So how do you improve your sight-reading? Well I asked my music teacher this very question when I first started playing in clubs, because I knew I would have to play sheet music that I had never seen before. His answer was to practice sight-reading. He went on to tell me that session musicians practice by picking up any music book start playing on page one and continue until they have finished the book.</p>
<p>Does it work? Yes it does. Try it for yourself, pick up any piece of music you can find, preferably one that you are not that familiar with, then start to play, but do not stop. If you make a mistake it doesn&#8217;t matter, you&#8217;re not learning how to play the piece of sheet music you are learning to sight read it. You have to be strict with yourself and don&#8217;t stop playing, even when there are lots of mistakes.</p>
<p>When you have finished playing the piece of sheet music, you can then go back to the parts of the music that were giving you problems and learn how to play it.</p>
<p>Basically sight reading, is the ability to recognise musical phrases instantly. For instance if I ask you to read and play a 1 bar phrase consisting of Middle C, D, E and F, all crotchets, you should be able to play this phrase almost instantly without even thinking about it. Now, if I write the same phrase out again but two octaves higher, you might have to look at it twice. This is because the notation, two octaves above Middle C, is not as common.</p>
<p>Musical phrases are like words, we tend to learn what we need then stop learning new ones. So it&#8217;s probably no surprise that the intelligent people of the world know lots of words and really good keyboard players know lots of musical phrases.</p>
<p>If you really want to test yourself. Get yourself an audience. I practice my sight-reading every week in front of a 200 plus audience. It certainly makes you concentrate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can configure your iPad&#8217;s home button to perform a given action by being triple clicked. To do this, simply bring up the Settings tab and then click on General, followed by Accessibility. Then go ahead and triple-click your home button and go on to select what you want your home button to do. This will enable you to triple click and access a chosen function.</p>
<p>If you are getting irritated by the amount of times that you are being asked to join Wi-Fi networks, go into your settings and change it. There is an option labeled &#8220;Ask to Join Networks.&#8221; Select that and you will no longer be bugged by all of the incoming invites.</p>
<p>When web browsing privacy is important on your iPad, turn on private browsing. Sometimes the things you are searching for or looking at are highly sensitive or personal, so much so that you don&#8217;t want a history. That&#8217;s ok, the iPad has you covered. You can turn on private browsing from the Safari menu in settings.</p>
<p>Do you find that searches take a long time on your iPad? Consider going to Settings, General and then Spotlight Search and turning off categories you never search for. This should speed up the process by avoiding searching those areas which contain no content or content you don&#8217;t seek out frequently.</p>
<p>Now, maybe you have some of the answers to the questions you had about your iPad. With so many options and abilities that the iPad offers, it can be difficult to learn everything all at once. Use what you have learned here to begin unlocking the many things your iPad can do for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn how to play piano books are for both the beginning piano student and the student who wants to review their skills! They can truly give the student the opportunity to have this experience very fast.</p>
<p>Learn how to play piano books help students learn to accept challenges such as learning a difficult song, as well as to perform pieces in front of friends, teachers and families at recitals! However, piano music books are different than any other guide you will find, and can truly give the student the opportunity to have this experience often!</p>
<p>However, Piano instruction shouldn&#8217;t be drudgery, but if &#8220;fun&#8221; is all that they contain, students might be just as well off with a movie or a computer game at very low cost. Parents can help makes piano music books more fun by encouragement, attention to lessons and recognition of progress</p>
<p>However, Music education involves both art and math. In fact, playing the piano improves fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination in children. Instrument majors are the most likely group of university grads to be admitted to medical school. Even Physician and doctors studied the undergraduate majors of medical school applicants.</p>
<p>However, learn how to play piano books are written by accomplished instructors and musicians and make it easy for anyone interested in learning to play, or for more advanced pianists to sharpen their skills. Therefore, more and more people are being attracted towards these books.</p>
<p>However, if you&#8217;ve always wanted to take piano instruction, why not now? Taking piano instruction will increase your ability to learn anything. Just follow the instruction in the books and then I promise you will learn how to play the piano very fast.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It really must go down in history as one of the all-time best marriages of tool technology and it all took place with someone deciding take a standard chainsaw and fit it with a diamond masonry blade. It is the perfect fit, and once you see one in action you&#8217;ll understand why this is so.</p>
<p>Diamond chainsaws actually work better for cutting stone, cement, and masonry then a standard chainsaw does for cutting wood.</p>
<p>Sound hard to believe? Well you can believe it because it&#8217;s true. For starters because the diamond pads work by gradually sanding or wearing down the surface cutting area there is no binding. This means that you do not get the gripping, the binding, and the resulting kick backs that make cutting with a chainsaw so difficult and also so very dangerous.</p>
<p>Also while standard chainsaws replace older technology that was available for jobs like cutting logs, and quickly felling trees, a diamond chainsaw makes new cutting tasks possible.</p>
<p>For instance this new stone cutting technology makes plunge cuts easy. Simply plunge the saw headfirst into even steel reinforced concrete for a perfectly straight cut as deep as the bar.</p>
<p>Then there are diamond pads instead of jagged teeth so you don&#8217;t have the gripping, binding, and kick back issues that you would with this type of plunge cut with a standard chainsaw.</p>
<p>This advanced technology also makes cutting windows, doors and ports for HVAC duct-work simple, and unlike a circular concrete and masonry saw you don&#8217;t have the over cut. This makes it the perfect tool for doing cut-outs for doors and windows in particular.</p>
<p>This handy power tools also the perfect solution for blowouts and other types of concrete pouring errors. It&#8217;s also great for carving in decorative touches and things like texture patterns in concrete stairways and walkways for traction when they&#8217;re wet.</p>
<p>Artists are also discovering new ways of using this handy cutting technology that can be used for sculpting huge chunks of stone. Do the maths and you can see that using a saw with a 16 inch bar, which is the minimum size you can cut a 32 inch wide chunk of stone if both sides are accessible, and 32 inches is an awful big piece of rock.</p>
<p>Then again, convenience and affordability are two important aspects of this cutting technology that&#8217;s putting more of these tools in the back of peoples&#8217; trucks.</p>
<p>Stone cutting equipment has always been expensive and cumbersome to use. It also had its fair share of limitations with regard to what it can actually cut, which was really only flat surfaces.</p>
<p>A diamond chainsaw changes all that because not only is it less expensive but it&#8217;s far easier and convenient to use. Just pull it out of its box, give a start-up cord tug and it&#8217;s ready to go, just like that. Then unlike the standard concrete cutting equipment, this type of saw cuts pretty much any surface you can reach with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are going to purchase a condo, apartment or a townhouses, make sure you inquire about Home Owner Association (HOA) fees. Although HOA fees sometimes cover lawn care, household repairs and provide you with amenities, it can also cost a fortune. Make sure you factor these fees into your budget before you purchase a place.</p>
<p>Never let the color of a home&#8217;s walls deter you from purchasing it if you&#8217;re getting it for a good deal. Paint is one of the easiest and cheapest fixes out there. Besides, you&#8217;ll probably end up painting every few years anyway, so even a color you love when you move in will need to be freshened up soon.</p>
<p>Finding a seller that is motivated may help you save money. You may be able to get them to work with you to pay the closing costs that you need to finalize the purchase of the home. This process is called seller concessions or contributions. It can save you upwards of nine percent of the cost of the home.</p>
<p>If you are considering buying a house in a certain area, think about the area&#8217;s future prospects for growth. There may be a grassy meadow across the street from the house you are considering, but that might be a mini-shopping mall in five years. Try to choose a home where you can be sure of the surrounding area for years to come.</p>
<p>Hopefully, these tips have provided you with some very valuable information and given you a way to organize all of the thoughts and information you may have already had on how to purchase real estate. Keeping these tips in mind when you start looking can help you get the dream property you desire without losing money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make your subject more comfortable by introducing some kind of a prop. Give a lady a flower to play with or a man a football. Give a bride and groom some bubble gum and have them blow bubbles together. You do not really have to include the prop in the frame in some cases but there may be shots that work out well with them.</p>
<p>Give your subject something to look at to avoid direct eye contact with the lens. You are sure to get more natural looking photos if you do not have them looking directly into the lens. Have them focus on something behind you or looking to one side or the other.</p>
<p>Learn about composition rules. Practice and experiment with these rules to create unique pictures. For instance, organizing a picture around diagonal lines gives an impression of depth. You can also play with colors and gradual nuances to give an impression of movement to a picture. Do not follow the rules blindly, but learn when to use them.</p>
<p>Hold your camera at eye level. This better enables you to capture a personal and inviting image. For pets and animals this means getting right down to their level to take photographs but by doing so you will bring the viewer more intimately into the shot and evoke a more emotional response.</p>
<p>As stated before, photography is a great hobby for anyone. Photographers use cameras to create images and express creativity with the addition of filters and lenses that produce unique photo results. By using the tips from the article above, you can get started with photography and produce your own unique photos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many guitarists are adamant that the only way to learn guitar is by learning to read sheet music. Some even go so far as to say that if all guitar tab was removed from the world the level of guitar playing would be much higher. The main objection to that idea is that many famous guitar players never learnt to read sheet music. Some even have trouble with tab. Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Tommy Emmanuel and Jeff Beck are shining examples. Of course, all these guitarists were following their own idiosyncratic ways of expressing themselves through the guitar rather than learning a broad range of music but there are still those who are thinking of a whole world of music that is closed to people who have not learnt to read notation. What would possibly be raised if tab were eliminated would be the level of communication between guitarists because we would all be speaking the same language.</p>
<p>But it is highly unlikely that guitar players who have more of an instinctive approach to the guitar will ever take the trouble to learn theory and standard music notation. At the same time the people who have made the effort to learn to read music will continue to feel that they have a greater understanding of the guitar and the ability to learn new music faster than guitarists who do not have a background of theory at their fingertips.</p>
<p>You could say that the bottom line is what works for the individual. If you can play guitar but can&#8217;t read music, does that make you an inferior guitarist? A weakness with learning from tabs is that timing and rhythm can&#8217;t be learnt from tabs but some people write tabs incorporating the elements of sheet music notation that show note values and timing, and this kind of notation is very easy to learn.</p>
<p>There are those guitar players who see sheet music notation as a language that was invented by keyboard players and is not very well suited to the guitar. It should be noted that without learning musical theory as well, learning to read music is just a part of the language of music and is not a great deal more useful than tabs. Also the amount of music theory a guitarist learns is in proportion to his interest in music in general but will not necessarily make him a better guitar player than a guy who doesn&#8217;t read music.</p>
<p>It has often been pointed out by guitar players who play in an open or alternate tuning that if you are used to reading and playing music in standard tuning you might find it very difficult to sight read a piece written in an alternate tuning using standard musical notation. If this is true it would suggest that reading standard music is not the key to universal understanding of the guitar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Technically, upright pianos can differ in various sizes, from the smallest-at 36 inches-to the largest-a whopping 5 feet! They can be categorized under names such as:Spinet, console, studio, upright grand pianos or vertical pianos. The Spinet is the smallest while the upright grand is considered the largest.</p>
<p>The common rule of piano is: the bigger the piano, the bigger the sound. Nowadays as the science of piano engineering evolves, such as the construction and the method of &#8216;overstringing&#8217; that allows a longer string and deeper tone, smaller pianos such as the upright can be designed to produce magnificent tone. Hence the criteria for choosing a used upright would be on your preferred size and tone. Some uprights may produce a much bigger sound than a grand, however it is good to note that the touch of playing will not be similar to a grand, as the style of actions of both differ significantly.</p>
<p>You can find your desired piano at reasonable costs in each category. It is important to note if the workmanship had been outsourced to third-world countries, which continues today. This may result in typically low standards on quality, and employee and environmental-care. A piano with NO maintenance other than proper humidity, will last 30 years and can be repaired thereafter. A piano that has been properly cared for can be passed from one generation to the next (exceptions for China-made pianos).</p>
<p>There are commonly two types of players: tonal players and those who prefer the looks. Depending on your requirements for selecting an upright, whether you are a music teacher, student, or for practice, the rule of thumb is to get the tallest you can afford. For a good tone, full bass and wide dynamic range, the minimum you should consider is a studio from 44 inches to 48 inches, right up to an upright grand from 49 inches and above. The usual brands for large verticals are: Steinway, Baldwain, Yamaha and Bosendorfer.</p>
<p>The Golden Age of pianos were reportedly from 1890 to 1930s where the craftsman and companies were reputable. However with the large used piano market, a lot of American and European companies have been reported to cut corners in their uprights to stay competitive. This does not mean you should not buy a brand new American brand, however you SHOULD consider all pianos regardless of their age, even from 40 to 100 years ago. Do note that this truth does not truly apply to Korean or Japanese pianos as they are not considered old.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you realize one of your loved ones is suffering from alcohol addiction, your primary duty is to help them admit to their problem. Else the disease of alcoholism would ruin their lives as well as careers. If you fail to break their denial, seek help from a professional counselor. Intervention would help them find the right way to return to a sober life. Once the affected individual admits to their problem, the rest of the treatment process becomes easy to follow. The counselor will guide you through the entire course of treatment and even post-treatment remedy so that the transition is easy and permanent. You would be required to show commitment to your treatment course.</p>
<p>If the addiction is severe, the individual would be required to undergo detoxification at the alcohol treatment centers. Under detoxification, the body would be purged of alcoholic substances so that no toxic trace is left, which would further ensure smooth recovery for you. But detoxification is bound to result in withdrawal symptoms, which can be severe if the state of alcoholism is chronic. This would mean that you would be required to overcome this pain and withdrawal hoping for recovery from alcoholism. This way detoxification prepares you for the rest of the treatment process, which is not as severe as withdrawal. Counseling and guidance during detoxification ensure that the staff would keep you motivated to stay committed to the treatment despite pain and hardship.</p>
<p>Alcohol Rehab Programs</p>
<p>Once you are through detoxification, the journey of treatment would begin, where you would learn to practice sobriety. If you are a chronic alcoholic, residential rehab program would be the best course to enroll for. As alcoholism can produce severe cravings because of dependence of the body and mind on alcohol, residential rehab program would ensure that you get adequate treatment as well as counseling to end your dependence on it.</p>
<p>In residential rehabs, you would be lucky to receive an alcohol-free environment, where there is no trace of alcohol or intoxicants, to practice sobriety. Further, during your stay at the residential or inpatient rehab, you would be required to stay at a distance from the outside world would remain so that no temptation draws you toward alcohol during your recovery. Actually this is quite effective, as you would learn and adapt yourself to an addiction-free environment.</p>
<p>With this, you get a great platform to enjoy wellness therapy. The holistic treatment approach of this program is enough to guide you through the difficult phase of recovery. You would learn a number of skills that would come to your rescue in one or the other in the later phase of life, particularly after you are discharged from the rehab and reenter the real world of temptations.</p>
