			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-184" href="http://www.thecoggs.com/artist/choosing-music-for-your-event.html/attachment/live_music01"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-184" title="live music" src="http://thecoggs.com/photos/2011/06/live_music01.jpg" alt="live music" width="500" height="311" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Selecting the right sort of live music for an event is just as crucial a decision as the venue, catering style and the time of day. Live music creates an ambience and memorable atmosphere if correctly chosen. We all want events to be a success, so here are my top tips for ensuring you choose the right music for your event.<span id="more-183"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Type of event:</span></strong> If you are organising a reception with a &#8216;networking&#8217; element to it, or a dinner where people wish to speak to each other, loud music isn&#8217;t going to work. On the other hand, after dinner entertainment where guests want to dance will require a band playing louder music.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Venue:</span></strong> The size of the venue is crucial. A harpist playing in a huge hall with high ceilings is likely to be lost. Likewise a large band playing in a small room is going to be overpowering, with the music sound being &#8216;muddied&#8217;. Choose the size of your musical ensemble and instruments based on the size of your room. Also, if you have a space with two or more rooms, you will need to consider where to locate the musicians, so that they can be heard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Size of the event:</span></strong> A small event where there are 20 guests is unlikely to require as loud background music as at a larger event. However, it is down to personal taste as to whether a large band is required later on!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Theme of the event:</span></strong> There are plenty of musical styles that theme an event just as much as dressing a venue or servicing specific food. A steel band playing as guests arrive or a Scottish Piper serenading guests creates an impact as people arrive. Flamenco musicians and dancers for after dinner entertainment or a jazz band playing will enhance an event creating a memorable ambience. When you are researching a themed event, include music as well as the food; it makes a huge difference to the event.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Time of day:</span></strong> During the day, most events involve guests wishing to speak to each other and to meet new people. Loud music doesn&#8217;t work in those situations. As the evening progresses, guests relax and they might consider dancing. They have spoken to their friends and associates and want to let their hair down. As a rule, as the evening progresses, the volume and energy of the music should increase.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Acoustic of the venue:</span></strong> Some venues are &#8216;louder&#8217; than others. Rooms with plenty of fabric and wood absorb sound better than venues with hard or metal surfaces &#8211; where the sound tends to echo more. The latter is a challenge generally because people&#8217;s voices will also echo!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Location:</span></strong> Is the event taking place inside or outside? If it is outside, you will need to consider where to place the musicians. Many musicians that play valuable instruments will need to be out of direct sunlight and rain. Electrical equipment also needs to be kept out of the rain. Acoustic instruments such as string quartets and harps will need to be located next to a wall, so that the sound will carry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Volume of music and restrictions:</span></strong> A number of venues have restrictions on the level of volume. It is worthwhile checking this when you choose the venue. Some venues allow recorded music but not live music; however I would argue that acoustic instruments such as guitar, harp or string quartet could be a lower decibel reading than a CD!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Space available:</span></strong> If there is limited space, you will be restricted in the size of ensemble you choose. As a rule, instruments that take up most space are grand pianos. Other instruments can be relatively close to each other and they take up less space than you expect. My advice would be to calculate the area available and ask the musicians if they can perform within that area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Instruments available:</span></strong> If there is a Steinway Grand piano available at the venue, it seems a shame not to use it! Pianists could play classical/crossover music, or a jazz pianist would be thrilled to perform on it!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Age groups:</span></strong> As a rule of thumb, as we get older, we appreciate loud music less. Also, different age groups have varied tastes. We always recommend discussing the music with the musicians and to agree a range of musical styles before the event to suit different tastes. A dance band would offer music &#8220;From the 60s to the noughties&#8221; to cover every taste.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Live Music at an event, and more crucially, choosing the right music, makes a huge difference to the success of an event. Ask the right questions of your music suppliers; ask yourself what role you wish the musicians to play at the event, and choose wisely! Good luck!</p>

The flute is a type of woodwind instrument that has many varieties, such as the concert flute, the treble flute, bass flute, soprano flute and piccolo among many others. If you think you have the hidden flair for playing the flute, you should take Flute Lessons with a certified flute teacher. With passion and dedication, you&#8217;ll surely be able to play this amazing instrument skillfully.<span id="more-175"></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Why Taking Lessons is Better than Teaching Yourself</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, it&#8217;s completely possible to learn playing the flute by yourself just like it&#8217;s entirely possible for someone to learn playing the guitar or piano by himself. There are many flute packages today that come with detailed instructions on how to play the flute. If you&#8217;re the type of person who&#8217;s not comfortable with taking lessons and you have little time to spare for formal lessons, even those taken at home, teaching yourself the flute may be a good option.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Still, taking Flute Lessons is definitely a much better choice if you want to make sure that you&#8217;re playing the instrument correctly. A certified flute teacher can show you exactly how to properly and safely hold the instrument and use it, as well as point out immediately what&#8217;s wrong with your technique before you get used to it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Taking private flute lessons is a great idea since working closely with a teacher could actually save you years of correcting wrong habits that you may otherwise pick up learning to play the flute by yourself. Don&#8217;t just hire the first teacher you see on some random website, though. There are countless flute teachers out there but not all of them are good for you. You should try to find a teacher who will be able to cope with your schedule with ease and who has a good reputation of getting along perfectly with students.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Making Flute Lessons Work</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The entire plan for your private lessons should be formed by you and your teacher. Among the many things you should agree on is the regularity of practice. Fixed flute practice is generally accepted to be effective in instilling techniques fairly quickly. However, it&#8217;s still up to you if you want a fixed training schedule or not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Exercises should help build your technique but be honest with your teacher if you feel like he&#8217;s overloading you with tasks. After all, strict routines can destroy the greatest passions, so be sure you won&#8217;t lose your love for playing the flute because of too many exercises.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You won&#8217;t regret taking lessons once you feel that awesome feeling of creating music that everyone can appreciate and love. As long as you take your teacher seriously and spend enough time practicing, it shouldn&#8217;t take long for you to learn to play the flute. Go ahead and start taking lessons today. Whole new worlds of musical wonders await you and you may just have the hidden potential to be a great flute player.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cindee Daniel, who has a degree in Journalism, has been a casual yet big fan of music since she first listened to The Beatles when she was 10. She then came to discover other bands, most specifically from the punk, grunge, and post-grunge movements, and has since been interested in the scene. Her exposure to music saw him writing music reviews for various websites and founding his own band, with him composing songs and performing drumming duties.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-169" href="http://www.thecoggs.com/music/jazz-rap-the-exceptional-hip-hop-rap-sub-genre.html/attachment/jazz_rap01"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="jazz rap" src="http://thecoggs.com/photos/2011/06/jazz_rap01.jpg" alt="jazz rap" width="500" height="447" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The blend of the &#8216;yesterday-style&#8217; with the &#8216;today-trends&#8217; is called Jazz. Jazz-rap is hence, a fusion of the early hip hop African-American music and the present-day prominent musical formats. The word &#8216;Jazz&#8217;, which was earlier also written as &#8220;Jass&#8221;, was first reportedly used for music in Chicago, in 1915. This musical style originated in the early 20th century as a confluence of African-American tradition and the European musical traditions.<span id="more-168"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The form has always evolved and incorporated the &#8216;present&#8217;. Jazz rap is specifically a hip-hop sub-genre which has evolved through the late 1980s and early 1990s. The music is influenced by hip-hop rap beats while the lyrics are sung out in a rap-style. The distinguishing factor here is the type of content in this sub-genre and the musical instruments used.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The lyrics are often Afro-centric; laying emphasis on the importance of African people. They themes also follow political consciousness, historical awareness, intellectual thoughts, conscious rap and the general positivity. One can understand, hence, why this genre isn&#8217;t a popular choice or a favorite among many. It talks of reality and the reality that affects all of us. People choose to turn a blind eye to the &#8220;ill&#8221; of our society because it is a simpler path to take. Jazz-rap on the other hand, makes the bold attempt to lurch forward and uplift the set-up in which we live. One of the most renowned South-African groups which laid the foundation for this kind of rapping and influenced hip hop music greatly was the &#8220;Last poets&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They emerged from the Black Nationalist thread of the civil rights moments in the late 1960s and went on to make music which understood social commitment. Among other artists and groups who played a poignant role in the emergence of the genre is Louis Amstrong with his 1925 rap song &#8211; &#8220;Heebie Jeebies&#8221;, Gill Scott-Heron, and the Watts Prophets. They initiated the use of jazzy tracks. Following the innovative trends, came the band &#8220;Cargo&#8221; with the single &#8220;Jazz Rap&#8221; from the album with the same title; and thus went down as the first recorded jazz-rap-single. The genre had arrived.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Talking about the instruments, the musical style is distinguished by the use of the trumpet, trombone, clarinet, piano, electric-guitar, electric-bass, drums and turntables. These are a few common instruments basically used for the typical jazz-instrumentation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The jazzy auditory themes are the real flavor of the music. The lyrics and the rhythm make this form stand a part. For a music lover, with an intellectual aptitude and a hunger for good music this is where we stop.</p>
