From the Principal's Desk for Our LIHSA Families Long Island High School for the Arts is a Nassau BOCES program From the Principal's Desk for our LIHSA Families Remote Edition: May 29, 2020 Master Class: Def Leppard's Phil Collen Last week Phil Collen, guitarist from the English rock band Def Leppard, conducted a Master Class with LIHSA afternoon music students, opening with a live performance of the 1987 hit “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” Collen teamed up with Yousician, a music education company that provides interactive learning for guitar, bass, ukulele, piano and voice to make this visit possible. Collen began with the Def Leppard’s hit followed by a some of our students showcasing their own guitar version of the band’s instantly recognizable classic. Collen provided structural and technical feedback and the students were able to ask Collen questions about his music career and guitar expertise. He told the class, “It really comes down to putting the effort in, practicing and getting the technique down. It’s all a learning curve. You gotta be you.” Yousician provided the students with codes for free premium subscription access to encourage continuing their music education while at home this summer. Collen announced to the students that they will receive a signed Def Leppard T-shirt. "Being an artist consists of so many different journeys and for each road taken it can be completely different. The opportunities for creative expression and inspiration are endless—a book, a song, a movie, a phrase or even a drumbeat coming out of someone's car.” Collen said. “The cool thing is that you can interpret them into anything YOU want. I'm glad Yousician nurtures young artists. I look forward to sharing what I can and being a part of that personal journey." Master Class: LIHSA Alum Matt Kunkel On Monday May 18, 2020 Abbe Gail Gross’ Directing class had the opportunity to talk to LIHSA Alumni Matt Kunkel. Matt is a professional director who was named one of Newsday’s Rising Stars of Tomorrow. Some of the questions the students asked Matt were about his directing process, how he arrives at his directing concepts and how he works with the crew, actors and staff. Matt shared pictures of his inspiration board for his upcoming production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC at The Muny Theatre and explained his process for narrowing down the ideas in the play to a single sentence to arrive at his concept. Matt recently Directed and Co-Created An Evening with the Stars at the St. Louis Muny as part of their 100th Anniversary Season which starred Chita Rivera, Tommy Tune, Heather Headley, and Matthew Morrison. Additionally, he directed Follow the Fellow Who Follows A Dream for the 92nd Street Y / Lyrics and Lyricists, A Celebration of Muny 100 with The Muny and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as well as Sunset Boulevard and Elf the Musical at the John W. Engeman Theatre. For new works, he directed Dick Scanlan’s new opera libretto Fallingwater. He has worked on over 25 productions at the Muny as an Associate. He is currently collaborating on the upcoming National Tour of An Officer and A Gentleman. Matt is a graduate of the University of Michigan and The Long Island High School for the Arts and a Proud Member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society. Mattwkunkel.com @Matwkunkel Master Class: Casting Director Sam Yabrow The Contemporary Musical Theatre Ensemble had their final Master Class for the year this week with Sam Yabrow, casting director at Stewart/Whitley (casting Broadway's Hadestown, Chicago, the new upcoming national tour of Hairspray, the current national tour of Spongebob and much more). Students were given an inside look into what a casting directors job entails, how they work as a connector from actor to creative team, and were able to ask Sam questions about the casting world. Sam is a Casting Director at Stewart/Whitley, primarily focusing on Musical Theatre. Prior to joining the Stewart/Whitley team, he worked at Abrams Artists Agency as an Agent Coordinator in the Talent Division. He started his career as an intern at Telsey + Company before going on to be a Casting Assistant at Joy Dewing Casting, where he worked on such projects as the 20th Anniversary Tour of RENT, Mamma Mia!, and Annie. Sam has also worked on staff for the Broadway Dreams Foundation. Sam is a proud graduate of the University of Michigan’s Musical Theatre Department. Master Class: LIHSA Alum Aggie Lesser On Thursday May 21, 2020 Abbe Gail Gross’ A.M. and P.M. Play Writing classes had the opportunity to work with Aggie Lesser who graduated from LIHSA in 2016. Aggie is a rising senior at The New School for Drama majoring in Playwriting. She has written several plays while in college and is currently working on a four act play for her thesis project. The students were curious about college level play writing classes and the opportunities they would have to present their plays in college. Aggie discussed play writing technique with the classes then guided the students in an exercise using gossip as a prompt to create a story. Once the students conceived the basic story, they then turned that into a scene. Though the prompt was the same, each student’s plays turned out quite different.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Singing Accent Americanisation in the Light of Frequency Effects: Lot Unrounding and Price Monophthongisation in Focus
    Research in Language, 2018, vol. 16:2 DOI: 10.2478/rela-2018-0008 SINGING ACCENT AMERICANISATION IN THE LIGHT OF FREQUENCY EFFECTS: LOT UNROUNDING AND PRICE MONOPHTHONGISATION IN FOCUS MONIKA KONERT-PANEK University of Warsaw [email protected] Abstract The paper investigates – within the framework of usage-based phonology – the significance of lexical frequency effects in singing accent Americanisation. The accent of Joe Elliott of a British band, Def Leppard is analysed with regard to LOT unrounding and PRICE monophthongisation. Both auditory and acoustic methods are employed; PRAAT is used to provide acoustic verification of the auditory analysis whenever isolated vocal tracks are available. The statistical significance of the obtained results is verified by means of a chi- square test. In both analysed cases the percentage of frequent words undergoing the change is higher compared with infrequent ones and in the case of PRICE monphthongisation the result is statistically significant, which suggests that word frequency may affect singing style variation. Keywords: frequency effects, LOT unrounding, popular music, PRICE monophthong- gisation, singing accent, usage-based phonology 1. Introduction The phenomenon of style-shifting involved in pop singing in general and the Americanisation of British singing accent in particular have been investigated from various theoretical perspectives (Trudgill 1983, Simpson 1999, Beal 2009, Gibson and Bell 2012 among others). Depending on the theoretical standpoint, the notions of identity, reference style or default accent have been brought to light and assigned major explanatory power. Trudgill (1983) in his seminal paper on the sociolinguistics of British pop-song pronunciation interprets the emulation of the American accent as a symbolic tribute to the origins of popular music and provides the list of six characteristic features of this stylisation (1), two of which ((1c) and (1d)) are addressed in the present paper.

Transworld Publishers Ltd, United Kingdom, 2016. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. Meet Phil Collen. You may know him as the lead guitarist in Def Leppard, whose signature song Pour Some Sugar on Me is still as widely enjoyed as when it debuted in 1988. Maybe you ve heard of him as the rock star who gave up alcohol and meat more than 25 years ago. Most likely you ve seen him shirtless - in photos or in real life - flaunting his impeccably toned body to appreciative female fans. But it wasn t always like this. Collen worked his way up from nothing, teaching himself guitar from scratch as a teenager by imitating his heroes. He slogged it out in London-based pub bands for years, long before Def Leppard formed and transformed from unknowns to icons (all thanks to a little album called Pyromania), from playing openers in near-empty arenas to headlining in those same stadiums and selling them out every night.

VINYL Def Leppard were the definitive hard rock band of the ‘80s. There were groups that rocked harder, but few captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the late ‘70s as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Def Leppard gained a following outside of that scene by toning down their heavy riffs and emphasizing melody. In The Many Faces of Def Leppard, we are going to dig deep into the lesser known work of their members, collaborations, side projects and of course, their hit-filled catalog.

  • Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman
    Def Leppard “Hysteria” By: Kyle Harman Hysteria would be a fitting name for the album thought Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen, following his 1984 injury from a horrific car accident that resulted in the loss of his left arm, Hysteria was the perfect title to describe the worldwide media coverage that followed the band between the years of 1984 and 1987. The album was the last to feature the late Steve Clark and his role of lead guitarist due to an overdose in the year of 1992. In the very prime years of glam metal in the late 80’s at the dawn of grunge genre about to begin, Def Leppard delivered the bands bestselling album to date with selling 25 million copies worldwide and 12 million in the US alone. The three year recording process of Hysteria was painstaking with the accident of drummer Rick Allen, and with producers coming and going left the band with the perfect example of sometimes patience truly does pay off. A unique recording process took place where each member recorded their own recordings at separate times, allowing each member to focus on their own performance on the album. The original intent of the album was to be a rock version of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, with the desire of having every song off the album as a possible hit single. The end result of the album was impressive to say the least with 7 singles released off the single album alone. The album recording sessions were painstaking at times, “Animal” consisted of 2 and a half years to produce its final product, where “Pour Some Sugar On Me” was finished within two weeks.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I, for one, found his take on fame and fortune refreshing. Could Phil Collen become your personal coach then? Harry Crisswell July 18, at pm Reply. I thought the guys were gonna hate it, but I showed it to them anyway — and they really liked it. Wow, these are beautiful! That's what happened to Rep. You can get away with a lot less, just by tweaking it here and there. I'm a huge Def Leppard fan. Leading with a foot-tapping bass beat, "Man Enough" has a jangly rhythm track that uses guitars sparingly. There is beauty in all of it. I lost 6 pounds in a week, and I wasn't actually trying to lose weight. They convey genuine strain and regret about a lost love, alongside a serene acoustic guitar. Sammy Helen! I knew that Collen started in a band named girl with Phil Lewis who went on the L. Def Leppard On Through the Night. Still, the band received a good amount of grief for releasing something so polished in a time when alternative bands were beginning to invade the airwaves. I also didn't appreciate that he blames this evil on religion, greed, blah blah blah, all while admitting his profession is part of the problem.
