  • Dan Wells, in Musical Form
    Partials Playlist Dan Wells, in Musical Form The characters in Partials live in the ruins of the world you and I leave behind, eleven years after a devastating plague wipes out 99.9% of the human race. They scavenge through the old, empty stores and houses to find things they need, like clothes and canned food, and one of the characters, a girl named Xochi, collects music players—iPods, Zunes, and so on. This is one of my favorite little quirks of the novel because a music player is so much more than a song or an album: It’s a record of who you are, reflected through your music. It’s a little piece of your personality that survives the plague and reaches out to future generations. So this got me thinking: If somebody found my music player in the wreckage of the old world, what would it say about me? I’d love to just plop my entire iPod up here for you to listen to, but it’s several gigs and way too big. What I can do, though, is create a little mini musical portrait of myself—a representative playlist to show you who I am and what I’m about. I’ve painfully narrowed it down to fifteen songs, and here they are: 1. “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters We might a well start at the top: “Everlong” is my very favorite song. I also have an acoustic version, which I listened to constantly while writing my first published novel (a supernatural thriller called I Am Not a Serial Killer), but the standard version is just as awesome and that’s the one I’ve included here.

    AMERICA IN SONG A Written Creative Work submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for 2 -0 18 the Degree WflC Masters of Arts in Music: Vocal Music Education by Spiro Nickolao Tsingaris San Francisco, California Spring 2018 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read America in Song: A Music History Course Focusing on Aaron Copland, American Composers and Vocal Works that Defined Our Nations Sound by Spiro Nickolao Tsingaris, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a written creative work submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Music: Vocal Music Education at San Francisco State University. Wendell Hannah, Ph.D. Professor of Music Education AMERICA IN SONG Spiro Nickolao Tsingaris San Francisco, CA 2018 The objective of this music history course is to educate my students as to how the people from around the world came here and expressed their unique experience through song. As America is made up of immigrants from around the world, it is understandable that our music reflects this diversity. Likewise as we are a nation just starting out, we can document our growing pains, struggles, changing attitudes and civic morality through the music and lyrics found in our songs. This course will focus on music around the turn of the 20th century, as this was the time of discovering our National Musical sound, as well as the time of greatest civic change and unrest. American nationalism and American music will be thoroughly discussed and analyzed, as well as the many differing types of vocal music, such as African American Spirituals, Folk Songs, Choral Works and Gospel Music.

Painstaking crafts- space, Countryman has recorded manship of both music and lyrics is what numerous albums over the past Dana is all about. To him, the song is every- decade-plus. thing. And it shows. The following interview was conducted long-distance, with me in Phoenix, Arizo- na, and Dana in his home studio in Everett, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. But it’s as intimate as if we were casually conversing in the same room. I do need to provide one disclaimer. I am the co-writer of one of the songs on Dana’s new album: “Then She Smiles.” But this in no way affects my journalistic objec- tivity regarding Dana. Even if you never listened to this one particular song, his new album would still be amazing. (Of course, I do hope you listen to all the tracks, because they are all worthy of your attention). (As an aside, I was quite honored when Dana asked me to work with him on the lyrics to his song. And I couldn’t be happi- er with the way the song turned out). So, Dana, tell me: what is “Vocal Retro Pop” all about, photo by Frank M.

    Vocal Music Virtual Learning 8th Grade Choir Vocal Technique Guided Practice May 20, 2020 8th Grade Choir Lesson: May 20, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: To learn and perform 3 simple songs that can be performed while practicing good vocal technique. Warm-Up Activity Find a recording of your favorite song on YouTube, and sing along to the song. As you sing, practice taking deep breaths before each phrase: 1. Your mouth and throat are open 2. Your shoulders and collarbones are set and not moving 3. Your ribs expand outward as you feel your diaphragm open up the bottom half of your lungs 2nd Warm-Up Activity Find a recording of your favorite song on YouTube, and sing along to the song. As you sing, practice maximizing your resonating chambers: 1. Your throat is open and relaxed 2. Your jaw is dropped low and you are making space in your mouth 3. You are focusing your sound through the “mask” in your face Practicing good vocal technique Yesterday we reviewed some of the fundamental concepts to singing with good technique. Today, we are going to attempt to put those ideas into practice. We are going to learn 3 simple songs (you may already know them!) that we can use as tools to practice our fundamentals of singing. Good Literature Have you ever tried to sing along to your favorite song on the radio, and found that by the end your voice was really tired? Or maybe you don’t feel like you can sing one section of the song because it goes too high or too low? Music on the radio is sung by professionals, who often have quite a bit of training and experience.
