Working with lyrics and vocal music presents a special set of challenges and opportunities to burnish your music engraving skill set. In this first of a two-part episode, Philip Rothman and David MacDonald discuss many of the conventions and principles that govern lyric text.
Staff position, alignment, and spacing must all be carefully considered when setting vocal text, and we sort through the best approaches for presenting the music clearly in relation to the lyrics. Beaming is an issue that has often confounded notesetters — specifically syllabic beaming, where the beams reflect the text instead of the rhythmic groups — and we talk about the change from traditional to modern notation and how best to handle melismatic passages.
Fonts, always a favorite topic of conversation on Scoring Notes, are again worthy of exploration, and why certain fonts are better than others for lyrics. We offer our suggestions there, and also discuss the topics of hyphenation and word extensions that are necessary components of any instance where vocal text is present.
There’s much more we cover in this episode, and then in the next episode, we’ll talk about where in the music notation software you can find the settings to control these various aspects and some tips to achieve good results.
More on Scoring Notes:


Things went great. We did couple of takes both vocal and guitar. The instrument part was pretty successful but vocal needs more time. I was happy with result though. I hope we have something finished soon.

Queen founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Foo Fighters on stage as part of the tribute concert, honouring the late drummer Taylor Hawkins at Wembley over the weekend.
This on stage merging of Queen and Foo Fighters began with archival footage being show of Hawkins himself. This footage was shown on the stages’ screens.
Taylor Hawkins was a long time admirer of the band and the drummer would often take over the mic from Dave Grohl to share a live cover of Queen’s ‘Somebody To Love’ at many Foos concerts.
After hyping the crowd with an imitation of Freddie Mercury’s iconic “ay-oh” chant, Hawkins can also be heard saying “When I was 10 years old, my older sister took me to go see Queen in concert – the first concert I ever saw – and I watched the fucking drummer, and I said, ‘I wanna fucking be him, I wanna do that’”.
Queen Join Foos On Stage For Live Set
Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Dave Grohl and co for a set of classic tracks from the rock band.
This live set saw this new supergroup perform tracks ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘I’m In Love With My Car’, ‘Under Pressure’, ‘Somebody To Love’, and ‘Love Of My Life’.
‘We Will Rock You’ saw Roger Taylor joined on stage by his son Rufus who played drums, while Luke Spiller of the Struts starred as lead vocalist.
Taylor was on vocals for ‘I’m In Love With My Car’, while Justin Hawkins took to the stage for ‘Under Pressure’.
Dave Grohl then welcomed Eurovision singer Sam Ryder onto the stage for ‘Somebody To Love’. The Foos singer revealed that it was difficult to find the right vocalist for that track, as Hawkins also sang that song.
“It might have been Roger that had this idea,” Grohl told the audience.
“Roger showed us a clip of someone singing along to this next song, and we made one phone call, and within 20 minutes, this person told us that he would come here tonight to sing it with us”.
“On this exact spot”
Brian May finished off the set with a live acoustic performance of ‘Love Of My Life’.
“I did not write this song, it was written by a young boy called Freddie Mercury”, Brian May told the audience. “And in 1986, we were on this exact spot, singing this song together”.
“And in 1992, exactly 30 years ago, we said goodbye to Freddie in a style similar to this – so I know that Freddie would be very happy to use this song to honour Taylor Hawkins. But here’s the deal: I don’t sing this song, we all sing this song together”.
This live performance at Wembley also saw Taylor Hawkins’ son Shane deliver a live performance of Foos track ‘My Hero’. Check that out here.


The Milwaukees - The Bland Comfort Of Life With Lloyd Justin
No, they are not from Wisconsin, but yes, they do rock. The Milwaukees,
hailing from New Jersey, have put together 6 songs that are taxing on your
counting skills [3 songs in 7/4 time! Crazy!], while at the same time making
you bob your head and play air guitar right along with them. "Planes Above Us,"
the first track, is a great up-tempo emo-rock song, and sets the tone for the
rest of the album. Even the last song, "Lloyd Justin," starts off with a
pseudo-metal riff, but then kicks into the rock some more. As I mentioned
earlier, the time changes in here are crazy and seem to come out of nowhere.
It's nice to hear the beat change up, and their rhythm section is one of the
tightest musically that I have heard in some time. The singer's voice for some
reason reminds me of a cross between Jamie of the Stereo and J. Robbins of Jawbox,
even though the band doesn't particularly sound like either. The band kind of
has a sound like a harder-edged Gameface, or maybe a not as ferocious Husker Du.
Either way, this EP is a winner, look for big things from this band.

Beethoven's early music was largely influenced by Mozart. He admired Mozart's music, and actually met him in Vienna at the age of sixteen, whereupon Mozart was so impressed by the young prodigy that he gave him his first composition lesson. Forced to return to Bonn with news that his mother was dying, Beethoven did not return to Vienna until 1792, by which time Mozart had died. Haydn then gave Beethoven further composition lessons for a short time, which is why music from this "first period" of Beethoven's composing career strongly reflects the styles of Mozart and Haydn.
Vivaldi had a huge impact on Baroque music. Although Baroque music is usually associated with Bach or Handel, Vivaldi was one of the epitomized composers. His music is basically what Baroque music is about.


Jamie Laval's Celtic Christmas
Asheville Community Theater, Asheville, NC
Jamie Laval’s Celtic Christmas captures the beauty and atmosphere of Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, and Iceland during the holidays. An entertaining and thought-provoking family holiday experience, the show weaves a tapestry of music, dance, poetry, and stories that hearken back to the ancient Celtic celebrations associated with the Winter Solstice and Christmas. Joining Jamie is a cast of young, critically-prasied performers of Celtic harp, woodwinds, guitar, Irish step dancing, and extraordinary vocals.


A chance to see the BBC Symphony Orchestra perform British composer Gustav Holst's The Planets at the London Barbican, in a concert from last September timed to celebrate the centenary of the premiere. But there's a special scientific twist to this concert, as before each movement, Professor Brian Cox discusses what modern science reveals about each of the planets.
In the first programme of the series, music agent Emma Banks looks at how the music business finds talent and creates superstars. Over 25 years as one of the top agents in the business, Emma has worked with some of the world's most famous artists, including Katy Perry, Kanye West and Red Hot Chili Peppers. She's seen first-hand the fine line between success and failure, following the careers of hundreds of acts - from geniuses who never quite made it to megastars who conquered the world.
The composer examines the history of the past 100 years in music, known as the popular age. During this period, classical music - as it is now termed - seemed to be in decline, but Howard argues that while some cutting-edge works proved too challenging to be appreciated by the mainstream audience, the DNA of the genre is alive and well in musical theatre, cinema and popular music.
Tracing the story of Ella Fitzgerald's life, this documentary film explores how her music became a soundtrack for a tumultuous century. From a 1934 talent contest at the Apollo theatre in Harlem, the film follows Ella's extraordinary journey across five decades as she reflects the passions and troubles of the times in her music and her life. Moving beyond conventional biopic, the film uses images and music to evoke the feel of those times, bringing to life the context of Ella's unique career, featuring interviews from Smokey Robinson, Jamie Cullum, Tony Bennett, Norma Miller and Laura Mvula.

Stewart Copeland explores the drums as the founding instrument of popular modern music. Beats that travelled from Africa via New Orleans and across the world are the consistent force behind musical evolution. Stewart plays with some of the most inspiring drummers of the last 50 years, including John Densmore of The Doors, Chad Smith of The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Prince’s musical director Sheila E, New Order’s Stephen Morris and Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins. He goes dancing in New Orleans, builds his own bass drum pedal and checks out hot new bands on Santa Monica beach.
A journey into the BBC archives unearthing glorious performances and candid interviews from the golden age of jazz. Featuring some of the greatest names in American music, including the godfather of New Orleans jazz Louis Armstrong, the King of Swing Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Dizzy Gillespie and Ella Fitzgerald. Broadcasted as part of the Old Masters, Rising Stars: Jazz On BBC Four season, this film unlocks the BBC archives to explore the words and music of some of the greatest names in jazz. The BBC soon moved on from Lord Reith's proclamation, made in the 1930s, that jazz was "a filthy product of modernity", and invited some of the legends from the golden age of American jazz to perform and talk on British television. This film is a series of revealing portraits, from Louis Armstrong, jazz's first great soloist and global ambassador, to Duke Ellington, the ever-suave bandleader and composer who brought a new sophistication and ambition to the music. Count Basie is sheer swing, Dizzy Gillespie provoked a musical revolution with bebop, and Ella Fitzgerald is just incomparable. Through long-forgotten archive and specially shot interviews, Jazz Legends In Their Own Words tells the story of an art form that has been called "America's gift to the world".

DMACC announces new Simon Estes School of Fine Arts
DMACC President and CEO Rob Denson announced today the new Simon Estes School of Fine Arts at DMACC.
Initial plans call for the music and theater programs to be expanded and housed under the new fine arts school. But, eventually other programs will be added.
"Simon's vision is taking our fine arts program to a whole new level. It's a quantum leap for our program," said Denson. "We're moving forward with his recommendations and decided it's only fitting that the new fine arts school should be named after him.
“Our goal is to become a destination institution for students, from throughout the Midwest, who are interested in pursuing a degree or career in fine arts. With his help and guidance, we're sure to make that happen."
Simon Estes has been lecturing and giving voice lessons at DMACC for three years as a visiting professor of music and is thrilled that DMACC has decided to put more emphasis on the fine arts.
"People are given talents and gifts by God, but many times they don't find out what those talents are during their lifetime," said Estes. "One of our goals is to help students uncover their abilities and inspire them through art and music."
DMACC board chairman Joe Pugel said that it has been an honor for the college to have
Estes teach here.
"His knowledge, experience and tremendous talent have created a wonderful opportunity for our students. His vision for the fine arts is moving the college forward in ways we never could have imagined," said Pugel.
Estes and Denson both credited two, new DMACC faculty members, James Thompson, professor of music and Carl Lindberg, professor of drama, with taking both programs to new, higher levels of achievement.
Estes noted that the DMACC choir only had a handful of students a year ago. Today, more than 50 students are participating.
For the first time, DMACC theater students worked jointly with students from another institution, Grand View University, to produce a new play.
Denson said the initial work to create the new Simon Estes School of Fine Arts will be on the academic side:
· Adding the classes needed to provide a comprehensive two-year curriculum in music and theater.
· Purchasing new equipment and investing in more resources
· Creating new articulation agreements with four-year institutions, allowing students to
seamlessly transfer from DMACC after two years.
Denson said the college has even greater aspirations. "Someday I would like to see
us build a new DMACC Fine Arts Center to house these wonderful programs and showcase college and community performances," said Denson.
Estes noted that a fine arts education has great value even if the student doesn't pursue a career in the field. "Fine arts is a way to explore and grow your creative abilities. It will bring value and focus to all their academic studies," said Estes.
The new Simon Estes School of Fine Arts will be launched this August at the start of the fall 2019 semester.

EDWIN ROXBURGH (b.1937): Les Miroirs de Miró (Thalia Meyers), 6 Etudes (Hiroaki Takenouchi), Piano Sonata (Peter O'Hagan), 2 Pieces (Sally Mays), Prelude and Toccata (Karl Lutchmayer), Labyrinth (George King), Introduction and Arabesques (James Young), For Piano Duo: Reflets dans la Glace (Tong Duo).
Catalogue Number: 08J118
Description: Ranging in style from stimulating pieces within the technical capabilities of young pianists to études requiring considerable technical prowess, the varied piano output of Edwin Roxburgh is striking and original. Predominantly broadly atonal though with clearly defined tonal referents, and with a tendency toward energetic, complex textures, the music is nevertheless too thoroughly structured and clear of direction to be representative of the (now not so new) New Complexity (though the teeming textures shared between two pianists across the entire keyboard in the homage to Debussy that gives the disc its title suggests a certain sympathy in this direction). Works such as the substantial and virtuosically challenging sonata have a tough, sinewy quality and a hard-edged clarity, also present in the icy prelude and cumulatively energetic toccata. Modern in concept and execution yet clearly acknowledging especially impressionistic antecedents, and invariably expertly crafted for the piano, these are works of potent imagination and craftsmanship, well worth investigating.


Creative Makers Project: 'The Harmony of Difference' with Mapledown School
This page is a PRIVATE page intended for project participants & partners only.
Session 1 - 'sounds'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with sounds made with ordinary objects and more conventional percussion instruments.
The students chose the following objects/instruments to make sounds with:
Joncy: Pom Pom
Charlotte: Tin Plate
Gabriel: Chain / Pot
Dudi: Rain Stick
Session 2 - 'textures'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with making print images that we can convert into sound. Print making is messy and fun - the link between pattern and sound/music is hopefully made.
The students made the following prints:
Session 3 - 'patterns'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with making patterns that can be converted into music. Dabbing on a grid is similar to adding notes to a manuscript; punching holes in music box cards help to develop fine motor skills.
Here are some pictures of work in progress:
Session 4 - 'playing'
The main objective of this session was to engage students with playing/initiating sound. Pupils played the Talking Tiles in place of guitar for our welcome-song, then used the tiles to collect recordings of themselves playing the outside instruments.
Here are some pictures of pupils playing and recording the outside instruments:

Title: Sacris solemniis
Composer: Johannes Brassart
Manuscript post 1445 in the Trent codices 87, no. 87-182
Description: “Corpus Christi” hymn transcribed from the Trent manuscripts tr87. The notes' values accidentals and colourings are as in the manuscript, the coloured notes are “hemiolæ”. The time signature is missing, the “tempus perfectum” has been assumed from the context; the perfect notes and rests have been dotted and a tie has been used for a note’s value that cannot be exactly represented. The notes' values within the "ligaturæ" are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves - the right downstemmed notes are longæ. The "musica ficta" suggestions are in the MIDI and MusicXML files.

Jean-Baptiste Dupont is one of the most renowned organists of our time. His artistic prowess is reflected in his success at international competitions as well as his performing career across the globe.
Trained in the French organ tradition, both in interpretation and improvisation, his new recording of Widor's 8th Organ Symphony combines this tradition with the sound-world of a Cavaillé-Coll organ: the instrument at Saint-Sernin (Toulouse) seems to be custom-made for the most complex work by Widor who confessed that without the experience of listening to the Cavaillé-Coll instruments he would not have written any organ music.
Jean-Baptiste Dupont is deeply rooted in the heritage of the French music tradition. His extensive expertise as an improviser leads to a particular state of consciousness within music: when interpreting repertoire works, he grasps and analyses the creative structures of the work on a deep level; in the moment of the performance, he experiences them like an improviser - the creative process of the composer becomes his own when he plays.
You are invited to listen to one of the most famous French organ works, played on a French organ by a French organist - a resounding commitment to the French tradition!

Experience Tim Burton’s Academy Award-winning 2010 fantasy film Alice in Wonderland on the big screen in the glorious surroundings of the Royal Albert Hall, with Danny Elfman’s magical score being performed simultaneously by a live orchestra and choir.
Directed by Tim Burton and written by Linda Woolderton, Alice in Wonderland is an imaginative new twist on Lewis Carroll’s original beloved novel and sees a 19-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) return to the whimsical world she first entered as a child. With the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), the extraordinary characters all come to life richer and more colourful than ever.
This high-definition screening with live orchestral and choral accompaniment from the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the Maida Vale Singers and the Cardinal Vaughan School Schola Cantorum, all conducted by John Mauceri, will bring the record-breaking film to life in an incredible feast for the eyes, ears and heart, captivating an audience of all ages.
This screening will be the World Premiere performance of a newly scored soundtrack for the film’s finale. Danny Elfman, who composed the original score, has written a new ending which will be played live by orchestra and choir, and soloist (to be announced). Elfman himself will be in attendance for this special event.
‘I felt that something big and dynamic deserved to play out the end of the concert so I wrote something completely new to play from the end of Alice’s Theme to the very end of the credits. London will be the first time this will be performed.’

Danvers / Desire EP
Title: Desire EP
Label: Boogie Cafe
Cat. #: BCB008
Format: 12 Inch
Country: Great Britain
Track Listing:Fast becoming the golden boy of a new generation of broken beat producers, Danvers shows no signs of slowing up with this latest release on Boogie Café.
Four cuts of soulful broken beat tinged deepness, kicking off with 'Desire' a double bass groover interweaved with hazy pianos and chopped up vocals. On remix duties, Harry Wolfman lays down a woozy, sun-drenched, emotive rework. Awash with jazzy keys, dreamy synths and tight drum loops offering up the perfect soundtrack to kick back to, beachside, Pina Colada in hand…
On the B side, Danvers is back at the helm with 'Can't Let Him Know' an afro tinged, bruked up jam, heavy on the live bass, syncopated synths & vocal litanies. Last up, 'Someone To Count On' is a crunchy, late night, soiree coupling a monstrous bass synth, crushed up drum hits and sleazed out pads.

Bloc Party's Kele Okereke to release solo album in June
Electric guitar player and Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has announced he is to release his debut solo album in June.
The record is to be called The Boxer and will be available to fans from June 21st 2010, following the release of first single Tenderoni a week earlier on June 14th.
Okereke told NME that the album will mark a move away from Bloc Party's indie roots to showcase his love of dance music.
"I've said from the beginning I'm into dance, it gets me excited and I think this record is going to go some way to prove that to people, hopefully," the electric guitar player said.
With Bloc Party currently on hiatus, Okereke is not the only member of the group to busy himself with other projects.

Early in 2001, in their "50 Great Recordings" series, Philips reissued the 1958 Sofia recital by Sviatoslav Richter. You may also acquire the recital in the 2 CD "Great Pianists of the Century" series where it is in tandem with Richter playing Prokofiev piano sonatas. I have neither heard that latter release nor ever heard any issue of this Sofia recital before, so I listened to it with "fresh ears".
Reviews here and elsewhere warned me that the sound was barely tolerable, and that audience coughing was too intrusive. Well, I can report that, once the "Pictures" begin, poor sound quality is forgotten. This is a riveting performance. The piano's dynamic range is well enough suggested, the recording quality is better in the other items, and I was not disturbed by any audible background hum. To those who complain about audience coughs I say: firstly, attend more concerts yourself and become accustomed to this phenomenon and, secondly, regard such sounds as reminders of a live performance before a large audience.
No one is likely to attend any live performance as brilliant as this.


Thought it'd be interesting to see how you guys like to record things like demos and EPs, assuming you don't have a label backing you that is!
My band's started to record our first demo, we've opted to record it all ourselves, utilising our own recording gear, a practice studio we're friendly with (for drums) and some ghetto recording techniques (hung up duvet as a vocal booth... =P).
We're getting some good results which is lucky cos we don't have the cash for studio time.
So, what do you guys do? =)

The Weeknd at House of Blues
Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has been mysteriously brewing since he started recording and uploading songs to YouTube in 2010. Drake gets a lot of credit as the tipping point for his popularity, but I'd argue The Weeknd's trilogy of free releases — House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence — speaks for itself. It's sex, drugs and R&B, and I could go on and on about the production value, but the best description I have heard is this: "The Weeknd is music to have sex to ... with someone you shouldn't be having sex with."

Patricia A. Grubbe began playing piano at age 3, and as a teacher and music and choir director, she spent most of her life sharing her passion.
"She touched the lives of thousands of people through her commitment to the Catholic faith and her musical gift," her son Frederick said.
Mrs. Grubbe, born Patricia Mooney, grew up near 74th Street and Eberhart Avenue in Chicago. Her family said she could play piano by ear at 3 after listening to her father play, and they have recordings from that time.
After graduating from Hirsch High School, she studied music for a year at Roosevelt University. She was an accompanist at the school for other students, including a trumpet player, Robert Grubbe. They were married in September 1946.
After a brief stop in Berwyn, the couple moved to Des Plaines in the early 1950s. Mrs. Grubbe was giving private voice and music lessons in her home and began playing at masses in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Des Plaines, where she later became music director.
In the early 1960s, the family moved to the north side of Des Plaines and joined St. Zachary Parish. Mrs. Grubbe was music and choir director and taught music in the parish grade school, her son said.
For a while, she also was music director at Queen of the Rosary Church in Elk Grove Village. "It was an amazing schedule she juggled while still raising six kids," Frederick Grubbe said, explaining that his mother sometimes took her children to work.
"She'd put us in the 'cry room,' and we'd play back there," he said. "It was kind of a unique exposure to the life lessons -- the elation of marriage, the sadness of death."
Rev. Michael McMahon, associate pastor of St. Mary Parish in Buffalo Grove, met Mrs. Grubbe as a young student. "I was 8 years old when I started taking piano lessons in her home," he said. "She had a beautiful soprano voice. Bell-like, clear and very lyric."
McMahon was a music teacher for years before entering the priesthood. "She showed you how integrated music, life and faith were," he said. "She showed me that long before I went to seminary."
Mrs. Grubbe also played for nearly 30 years at a mass on the first Saturday of the month at All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, according to manager Marty Psik.
She played for more than 15 years in the chapel at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. "She played for mass every week," said Brother Valentino Bianco. "She could play anything. She had an unbelievable memory."
"She was a graceful and grace-filled person," McMahon said. "That's how she taught music. That's how she lived her life."
Survivors also include two daughters, Regina Besenhofer and Pamela Hentges; three other sons, William, Thomas and Patrick; two sisters, Germaine Nylen and Claire Coughlan; and 12 grandchildren. Robert Grubbe died in 2000.
Visitation will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday in Glueckert Funeral Home, 1520 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights. Mass will be said at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Queen of the Rosary Church, 750 W. Elk Grove Blvd., Elk Grove Village.

The genius of Paul McCartney’s basslines
A recent Disc Makers Blog post highlights the criminally-overlooked contributions of Paul McCartney’s bass playing during his tenure with the Beatles.
Paul famously resisted playing bass at first, but took over after Stuart Sutcliffe left the band and Paul’s guitar broke.
Paul admitted that he grew to love the instrument and developed a unique style which turned it into a more melodic instrument. His bass lines are credited with revolutionizing the way the bass guitar was used in rock n’ roll.
The Disc Makers article does a great job of highlighting the evolution of Paul’s bass playing from the early years when its simplicity allowed focus on the vocals, through the end of the Beatles’ career, when it added a completely new and different layer to their songs. The article is complete with analysis and examples of bass lines in specific songs. Of George Harrison’s song “Something,” the article says:
As the Beatles matured and neared the end of their time together as a band, we see each member reach their creative peak, displaying fully what each instrumentalist was capable of bringing to a song. McCartney’s bass parts on Abbey Road are another chapter in his melodic bass textbook. On George Harrison’s classic love song, “Something,” McCartney spends very little time on the root of each chord, instead opting to explore the upper registers of the bass, creating an ideal countermelody to the verse vocal line. During the chorus, the bass returns to the low register to give the song the necessary weight and depth that only a full bottom end can bring.

Appearing here for the first time on record, Dunstan is a trio by Finnish drummer-producer Teppo Mäkynen, bassist Antti Lötjönen and the Blue Note recording American based in Paris, alto saxophonist Logan Richardson. The trio initially formed to perform at Helsinki's We Jazz Festival in 2014 and since then, they have performed occasionally and recorded original material by Mäkynen, to be revealed now. The Dunstan sound is deep, spiritual, and groovy, with Richardson's natural "cry" on the sax laying darkly toned splashes of colour over the seamless groundwork of Mäkynen & Lötjönen, who have been collaborating closely in units such as The Five Corners Quintet, Timo Lassy Band, and Teddy's West Coasters. Based on this solid rhythm section, this new unit sounds like the trio would have been playing together for a long time and their shared musical thought is clear. This is contemporary spiritual jazz of the highest grade. The artwork of the Grotto X We Jazz series is created by the Stockholm based graphic designer Johanna Lundberg.

About The Rayburn Bros.photo by Leslie Rayburn
The Rayburn Brother’s Band, with their rough-hewn folk-rock sound, is comprised of gifted singer songwriter Craig Rayburn, a well-seasoned musician with a powerful voice and lyrics, and brother Keith Rayburn, also a talented singer songwriter, who brings his stellar dobro and slide guitar playing to the mix. The Rayburn Brothers voices blend and intertwine as only brothers can, with graceful harmonies and poignant singing. Deftly combining acoustic and electric instruments, they play songs ranging from heart-rending ballads to foot stomping rockers. They each bring their particular style to the mix, creating a soulful and eclectic mix of music; from folk, to rock to alternative country.
The Rayburn Brothers Band new album, "Back to California" is a compelling collection of songs ranging from the honest portrayal of long-term relationships in "Go Down Easy" to the hopeful, upbeat "Back To California". "Ordinary Love" tells of finding extraordinary love, while "Lonely Train" speaks of love lost. "Te Propongo" and "Hole In My Heart" mix Spanish and English lyrics in a way that reflects the brother`s California heritage.
The entire collection of songs is infused with elements of rock, folk, country, reggae and jazzy blues that channel the musical influences the brothers gained growing up in the Golden State. All songs feature the effortless blood harmony of Craig and Keith, augmented by the dulcet voice of Eliza James that give the vocals texture and intimacy. Long time lead guitar player Nick Heinz adds fluid guitar lines evoking classic rock greats, while the driving drum beat is provided by Andrew Tuckman. Dick Tacklind provides sturdy basslines, and keyboard player Kevin Taylor weaves in and out of the songs with grace and harmony.
This powerful and moving CD is full of surprises and unexpected twists. Eliciting comparisons to bands such as The Eagles, Neil Young, Los Lobos and Jackson.
Craig Rayburn`s first CD, "Coyote" was very well received on the local music scene and was featured on various radio stations, most notable KPIG as well as KKUP and KZSC. This record showcases Rayburn’s diversity, including folk-rock, country, ballads and Americana. Joining him on this collaboration is talent Jim Norris with amazing “right on” drumming, Paul Olguin with his driving bass, the rich melodies of Keith Greeninger and Tamala Brown, multi-instrumentalist Dayan Kai, pianist extraordinaire, John R, fiddling pro Chojo Jacques, hot licks by guitarist Randy Mitchell, lush organ by Gianni Staino and stellar dobro and slide leads by brother Keith Rayburn.

She has been a pupil of Nina Bielikowa, Aleksander Sobol, Peter Gosaa, Yuriko and Robert Cohen. From 1969 to 1988 she was the soloist for the Teatr Wielki (Grand Theatre) in Łódź. She also studied abroad, at L'Academie Internationale in Paris and at the Nederlanden Dans Theater in Holland. In 1988, she assumed the position of managing and artistic director, taking the place of Conrad Drzewiecki, at the Polish Dance Theatre - Poznan Ballet. She strives to broaden Drzewiecki's concept of the Polish modern dance school by including classical ballet as well. She is a professor at the Department of Education and the director of the Unit of Dance at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. She is also a member of the International Dance Council (CID) – UNESCO, ministerial expert and the president of the Polish Choreotherapy Association.
In 2005 Wycichowska estblished Dancing Poland including International Modern Dance Workshops, Modern Dance Biennale and International Dance Theatres Festival.
She is one of the most multifaceted dancers in Poland. Included in her repertoire are both roles from classical ballet such as Juliet in Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet (1969), Liza in Ferdinand Herold's La fille mal gardée (Polish trans., Córka źle strzeżona) (1973), and the title roles in Aram Khachaturian's Gajane (1975) and Adolphe Adam's Giselle (1979), as well as unusual and modern dance roles: Medea in Juliusz Łuciuk's musical performance (1982), roles in Mieczyslaw Karłowicz's Interpretacjach / Interpretations (1983) and Krzysztof Penderecki's Capriccio na choreografa / Capriccio for a choreographer (1988).
Ewa Wycichowskia is known for her courage as an artist, and for her constant search for new forms and means of expression. "Ewa Wycichowska has provided an unusually beautiful interpretation of the character Gajane, her masterful, romantic adagios are particularly clear in their lines, clean in their execution, and her acting subtle and convincing." (Zygmunt Gzella, "Gajane", "Odglosy", no. 49/1975)
The artist is also known from her choreographies created for theatres, operas, and films. She has worked with famous directors such as: Jerzym Jarocki, Krystyna Janda, Maciej Prus, Krzysztof Zanussi, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Jerzy Kawalerowicz, Adam Hanuszkiewicz, and Krzysztof Zaleski.
In the performance Faust Goes Rock (1986), Wycichowska "surprised the audience above all with her courage in the bold personification of the secrets and all manner of intricacies of the human soul, she impressed with her unusual precision and simplicity in the way that she conveyed all of the complicated philosophy of Goethe's play into the language of dance." (Anna Izykowska-Mironowicz, "Teatr diablem podszyty", "Glos robotniczy", 19 Dec 1986)
For the benefit performance on the occasion of her twenty-fifth anniversary on the stage, she chose Carmen, danced to the music of George Bizet, Rodion Shchedrin and Heitor Villa-Lobos. "Once again, she has amazed us with her masterful technique, the lightness of her gestures and the wonderfully harmonic movement of her entire body." (Teresa Brodniewicz, "Gazeta Wielkopolska", 4 Dec 1993)
She made her choreographic debut in 1980 with the work Głos kobiecy / A Woman's Voice, with music composed by Krzysztof Knittel. From that time, she has done a great deal of choreography for various performances, the most interesting includes Mieczyslaw Karłowicz's Serenada (1982), Faust Goes Rock The Shade (1989), Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring (1989 and 1993), Mateusz Kuźnik's Samotnść Fauna / Loneliness of a Faun (1989), Maciej Malecki's Skrzypek opętany / The Mad Fiddler (1991), Misterium słońca / Mystery of the Sun on the basis of Alberto Ginastera's "Estancia" suite and "Ollantay" symphonic poem as well as Misterium ziemi / Mystery of the Earth based on the choreographic legend "Panambi" also by Alberto Ginastera (1993), Krzesimir Dębski's Album z tego świata / Album of this World (1992), Transsss... (1997) and Tango z Lady M. / Tango with Lady M. (2000).
"I am not a fan of theatres that focus exclusively on the director's own works, because sooner or later the dancers would be tired of the monotony. Theatre develops by drawing its vitality from the experiences of a variety of choreographers," Wycichowska has said. ("Rzeczpospolita", 19 April 1992)
She thus invites many different leading artists to work with the Polish Dance Theatre, including Brigit Cullberg, Örjan Andersson, Stanisław Wiśniewski, Toru Shimazaki, Matsa Eka. Wycichowska tries to create a ballet that speaks to modern audiences, through a very communicative language of movement linking elements of both classical and modern dance. In all the performances, music, choreography, drama and images merge together to create unique shows. Her own production Transss... (1997) is an "exciting adventure with Gombrowicz, at once a theoretical tract on the subject of ballet and a performance of a woman director and choreographer, as well as a story about people's dependence on one another." (Ewa Obrebowska-Piasecka, "Zegar teatru"). In one of her most recent choreographic works, Tango z Lady M. (2000), "the artist has penetrated all the various climates of Latin American dance: nostalgia, aggression, eroticism, combining different eras, stories and times." (Lara, "Tango bez konca", "Gazeta na Pomorzu", 1 Dec 2000)
In Cases of Mr Von K. inspired by Letters of Heinrich von Kleist, she focuses on artistic and tragic life of said German artist. The show was made in cooperation of Polish Dance Theatre and Kleist Forum from Frankfurt Oder. Carpe diem from 2007 was an outcome of inspirations of its creators' minds. The authors about the spectacle:
We gave a moment, time between the past and the future, to the children and poets. We no longer can feel pure rapture over things we are still experiencing. We can no longer feel things with all our souls and bodies, to absorb colors, tastes, sounds, movements. We canceled the present, harking back only to what used to be and planning the future. Our play was born out of the yearning for what it all used to be like. We wish to freeze the elusiveness of a meeting of creators and spectators, to get to know our carpe diem and to share it in such a way so as not to lose any moment. This is what was behind the work – mutual inspirations enticed by thoughts, music, movement, voices and sounds, colors and shapes.
In Spring-Effatha (2007) she combined minimalist choreography with multimedia in a ballet on ice. It is a breath-taking image of the „spring awakening”to Jacek Wierzchowski's music. Wycichowska stated:
We have shut off our senses, lost our child-like curiosity, openness and strength from nature, which cyclically comes to life.
Then in 2009 in Komeda – Sextet (on the 40th anniversary of his death) to film music by Komeda, she was exploring the meaning of „unforgettable 60s” today. In 2011 she directed Meetings in Two Unfulfilled Acts which was produced as a cooperation of the Grand Theatre in Lodz with Polish Dance Theatre – Poznan Ballet. Several generations of Polish dancers met to create a performance together. Krzysztof Knittel, one of the artists, said:
Years ago, the debut has occured, Ewa Wycichowska as a choreographer and mine as a composer of ballet music – for the dancers of the Grand Theatre in Łódź. The premiere took place on December the 6th 1980. Our actions was inspired by the erotic cycle :Female Voice" by Rafal Wojaczek. Music, written for the percussion instruments and electronic sounds strongly alluded to the rythms of Middle Africa. Now we are coming back to this stage in "two unfulfilled meetings"... After years of our "Meetings" the same dancers shows up, the same who took place in the same performance. [...] Composers and choreographers, who we know and admire for their creations, and next to our work you will see their pieces together with their imagination, different sens of form, new themes and problems. Meetings of different generations, different creative attitudes, different artistic ideas and visions.
A year later Wycichowska made FootBall@... to talk about the atmosphere and emotions during Euro 2012.
Wish you were here (2013) and Good to have you here (2014) were based on Polish Dance Theatre's original choreographic materials from 1973-1993 and were dedicated to dancers connected to the theatre. These are to present the audience the world of dance „that becomes the guide to the past times and sometimes penetrates present plots”. In November 2015 Wycichowska choreographed and directed Lament. In Memory of Tadeusz Rożewicz. It was inspired by renowned collection of poems by Różewicz called Mother Departs.
The authors want to infiltrate the transgressive world formed between the space of the trauma and the space of the artistic piece. The piece has a therapeutic and expiative nature. The essence of the intimate confession contained in literary works included in Różewicz’s volume has inspired the show’s authors to work with selected plots and motives. In a creative manner the authors adapt the literary piece to the genre structure of a dance theatre. By balancing the importance of words and movements, by building a dramaturgical structure using a semantic sign and a body sign, the authors of the show think about the dichotomy of the world and the dichotomy of art. (European Capital of Culture 2016)
For Wycichowska, dance is a symbiosis of music, visual art and movement.
"Through choreography, I tell about myself, including in it my attitude towards the world, life, asking questions to which I am searching for the answers, attempting to define a set of values and goals. (...) Perhaps this sounds paradoxical, but I try to avoid simply creating fictional stories, I am not interested in things that are able to be expressed in terms of concepts that are semantically closed; what I am doing is my choreographic path toward illumination that is more often subject to the spirit rather than the material world." ("Głos Wybrzeża", 13 Nov 1997)

Whether you’re just getting started in dance or you’re looking for ways to improve your technique in dance, there is so much you can do to kick your skills up a notch. You’ve taken the right first step by researching ways you can improve your dance technique.
Just remember that significant improvement takes time so don’t get discouraged if you find it taking some time to master a certain dance technique. Even the best dancers today started at the bottom and look where they are now. The trick is to never give up!
If you want to become a better dancer, the following advice will teach you how to improve your technique in dance.
1. Stretch before you do a dance routine
Stretching in your daily routine is a great way to improve your technique in dance. Stretching helps improve dance techniques by helping your muscles become more flexible, which in turn increases your range of motion. When your body is used to being flexible, there is less of a chance that you will suffer an injury like a pulled muscle.
There are some important things to keep in mind when stretching. The first thing is to slowly increase the stress on your muscles, allowing them to adapt. The next thing you want to keep in mind is to properly warm-up before you start stretching.
If you end up stretching a cold muscle, you’re not stretching the muscle at all – you’re actually stretching the joint instead. It’s best to stretch in the morning so you can enjoy the benefits of stretching all day.
2. Practice to improve your technique in dance
Perhaps one of the best tips we can give you is to practice, practice, practice! Practice is the best way on how to improve technique in dance. Even if you’re watching TV, put it on mute, play your music and dance, dance, dance! Dancing is also a great form of exercise, so you get the benefit of working out too. Try to set aside some time every day, or a few times a week to practice.
The more you improve your technique in dance, the better you will get. Just remember that it takes lots of time, practice, and patience to get really good at dancing. It will all come to you in time, just practice and immerse yourself in the world of dancing as much as possible. Keep at it and you’ll be a wonderfully skilled dancer before you know it.
3. Practice dancing in front of the mirror
When practicing your dance technique, do so in front of a full-length mirror. This way, you’ll be able to see correct lines and angles. When your practice and there is no mirror around, you have no way of knowing how your form looks.
By seeing your reflection in the mirror, you can make sure you are doing the correct moves learned in your dance classes. Once you feel more confident about your technique, you can stop using the mirror.
4. Review old dance routines
You put a lot of energy and time into learning dance routines. The last thing you want to do is forget how to perform them. To avoid this problem, regularly review old dance routines. This will keep the routine sharp and you can pull it out and modify it for new routines.
You’ll also start to build a repertoire of all of the different dance routines you have ever done. Set some time aside to review different pieces periodically and you’ll never forget a dance routine again! We can all use the extra practice so it’s a win-win!
5. Watch dance videos
Watching someone dance or watching a dance video can be just as good as practicing. Doing so exposes you to different moves and techniques that you may not have thought of before. It’s also a great way to learn what other dancers are doing and what works for them.
If you’re looking to improve your technique in dance, watching others dance this technique or watching videos can be a great way to immerse yourself in this new style of dance.
6. Improve your fitness
The more fit you are the easier dancing will come to you. Your muscles will already be conditioned and performing dance moves will not be as hard. Your muscles will be used to moving in certain ways and they will already be strengthened, making it even easier to improve your technique.
Increase your muscle strength by lifting weights at the gym and doing other exercises, like core building exercises. Exercising regularly will also increase your stamina and help you master dance moves even quicker than before. A bonus is that you’ll be physically fit and be a great dancer! What could be better than that?


The Reed Island Rounders will present a public Concert at Gage Hall, 4 Archdale Street, Charleston SC at 7 PM, October 7th. Doors open at 6:30 PM. Suggested Donation $20.
The Reed Island Rounders have long been known for not being your typical string band. Drawing from the lonesome hollers of West Virginia, the lively traditions of Kentucky’s fiddlers, their local Blue Ridge Mountains styles, and the North Carolina sounds from Round Peak to the Piedmont, they weave archaic with sophisticated, soulful with foot-stomping, romantic with down-to-earth. The resulting tapestry is alive with texture and color, making for an invigorated dance hall, or a lively and enlightening concert.
Each a veteran of festivals, music camps, and dance circuits, Betty, Billy & Kirk choose the tunes and songs they love the best, bringing a unique variety of sounds to each venue. Betty Vornbrock’s fiddle bow brings energy to dance tunes, emotion to waltzes and listening tunes, and imagination to her twin fiddle harmonies with Kirk. Billy Cornette keeps his rock solid beat and fanciful bass runs on guitar, and is the vocal lead. Kirk Sutphin, adept in different banjo styles, frails or fingerpicks, complimenting each number. His fiddling evokes his Round Peak roots, as well. Hillary Dirlam is a master of a wide range of instruments and musical styles. In 1991 she was chosen to be the program director for the Blue Ridge Old-Time Music Week at Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, NC. She continues to share that position, which allows her to teach classes in guitar, banjo and bass during the week. She is also one of the founders of the Old-Time Herald, an old-time music journal. Hilary joins the band for this weekend on stand up bass.
The Reed Island Rounders’ concert will treat listeners to driving dance beats, tasteful twin fiddling, fun songs, and maybe some music history thrown in!


Live music scene! (Almaty)
Hi folks, I'm a gigging session musician here in Ireland, I play many types of music with lots of different kinds of artists. After a while over there I know its going to be one of the biggest things I am going to miss after our move to Almaty in a couple of weeks.
My question - are there any musicians or singers (at any level) out there that meet to play music or sing together - either in a pub (always preferable) or a home or anywhere and if not would anybody be willing to start something up?
I'm not looking for gigs, kinda happy to take a break from all that for a while tbh but just something for fun and to feed the soul a little! :-)


According to Jack.fm, Roxette will play in Los Angeles Gibson Amphitheatre on September 15th. You can win tickets for the concert following the link.

Giana is a professional singer/songwriter with works registered through the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). Although music has always been an important part of Giana’s personal life, taking a chance on pursuing music as a full-time career only recently came to fruition.Growing up, she studied classical music for over 9 years and subsequently taught piano in private and semi-private settings from 1999 – 2007. At that time, she broke away from music to focus on her then career in the health care industry.However, in 2011 she re-routed her path back to music when she started teaching piano again; independently released her debut solo album, “For Now;” and left her career in health care to pursue her passion as a singer/songwriter (stage name Giana Nguyen). Her music has garnered recognition by new media makers around the world, and she was a nominee in the 2011 Hollywood Music in Media Awards for “Best Pop Song” and the 2012 All Indie Awards for “Best Pop Artist.” Giana has since performed solo acoustic shows or with full band at notable venues such as the House of Blues in Los Angeles, the Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, and at the Honda Center in Anaheim where she sang the U.S. and Canadian national anthems for an internationally televised sporting event. To further her joy for music, she teamed up Alex Thai Nguyen to open Dancing Keys Music Studio in March 2013. Now with over 10 years of experience working with students of all ages, she is ecstatic to teach Simply Music Piano. Giana supports various charities in/surrounding Orange County with the most active participation as a Board Member for the Vietnamese American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA) and as an a volunteer/performer for 8 years with the CHOC Follies – supporting CHOC Children’s Hospital.
