1. Jamming Art: Turn on some music-upbeat or mellow-you decide. Without looking directly at the paper, draw pictures and designs to the beat of the music. Make several drawings from different types of music.

2. Animal Walk Parade: Play your favorite tunes on the radio and dance and walk the way your favorite animal would. Remember, the more friends you invite to play, the more fun your parade will be!

3. Music Maker Box: Fill a small trunk, box, or dresser drawer with musical instruments for when inspiration strikes. Purchase inexpensive instruments at garage sales, or make your own including tambourines, strands of jingle bells and film canister maracas.

4. Dance Party: Invite your friends over for a dance party! Ask each guest to bring along a cassette tape or CD with his or her favorite music. Play a song or two from each CD and dance the night away. For super cool invitations, use a permanent marker to write the details of the party on those free Internet CDs that come in the mail.

Coveragetown.com Review

Usually one site only provides one type of insurance. That is the normal and ordinary one but this site www.coveragetown.com is a site where you can find any kind of insurance needed, starting from Auto Insurance, Car Insurance, Health Insurance, and Life Insurance.

The good things about this site once you open the home site, you would find the option about what insurance or what type of insurance you want to know. Then after you click it, the site would automatically give you the comparison or the result of the lowest quotation rate of the insurance you wish to have! Isn’t great? So you do not need to click one by one to find out yourself which insurance that could give you the best rate. One of the useful functions of this site is to give you the best selection and not only giving you the options.

So now, you do not have any excuse not to have insurance just because you do not have time to learn about it or just because you do not know which one is the best for you or because you do not know which one that has the best rate. Once you read about this site, you would have no excuse but having the insurance you need because actually insurance is really important for your protection ! No one you could depend when you are in bad situation

Making Music As A Lefty

Author Interview with Ryan Thomson, seacoast New Hampshire resident, and author of a new book advocating left handed violin playing by lefties. Playing Violin and Fiddle Left Handed.

This piece started out as an actual interview for an internet website article, but the author has expanded it into its present form, while maintaining the “interview” format.

What an interesting book! What prompted you to put this book together?

Almost every single time I’ve played in public for the last 10 years a listener has asked me why I hold my violin differently from other players, or has commented on the fact that they’ve never before seen someone play a violin left handed. For example, If you look at any orchestra, you’ll notice that every violinist is playing right handed! Its been this way for hundreds of years. Right and left handed people alike play the violin right handed. Violin teachers instruct all of their students to play right handed whether or not they are naturally right handed. I knew from early on in my own left handed playing experience that I wanted to explore this interesting subject. I found it fascinating that people who didn’t know whether I was naturally right or left handed would say things like, “It must be really difficult to play a violin backwards,” as if there was some inherent reason why it should be easier to play it right handed.

Beginner’s Guide to Music File Formats

Are you confused by the various types of music file formats out there? Most of you would have heard of the popular MP3 format, but are you aware there are other alternative digital music formats like WAV, WMA, RA and MIDI? Some of these give better sound quality than MP3 (e.g. the WAV format) but also need more disk storage space. Others like WMA give file sizes smaller than the MP3 format and are more suited for portable music players.

Let’s run through the various file formats now:

The MP3 File Format

MP3 files have the extension “.mp3″ and are available for download from many web sites. MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) technology compresses a sound sequence into a very small file (usually one twelfth of of the original file size). The designers of MP3 compression algorithm managed to do this by eliminating sounds that the human ear cannot perceive. While MP3 technology is impressive, it has been abused by music pirates. One can very easily create MP3 files from commercial CDs and make them available for download. The RIAA and major music companies have been cracking down on the distribution and sharing of MP3 files in this manner.

The WMA File Format

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is Microsoft’s proprietary music file format that it is marketing aggressively. WMA files are smaller in size than MP3 files, but still retain a decent level of sound quality. This format is getting very popular in websites for sampling music and also in portable music players. However, whether WMA will overtake the popularity of MP3 remains to be seen.

The WAV File Format

A wave file is characterized by the file extension “.wav”. This music file format provides raw, uncompressed audio data. Originally invented by Microsoft, wave files are still used widely (examples include your start up and shut down sounds in Windows). Audio quality is excellent, but the file size is huge. A full pop song in wave format may take up to 30 MB of disk space or more.

The AIFF File Format

The AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is a popular music file formats used in the Apple Macintosh operating system. In a way, they are the Macintosh equivalent of wave files. AIFF files have the file extension “.aif” when accessed via a PC. They contain raw audio data (which result in excellent sound quality) but take up a large amount of disk space.

The MIDI File Format

The MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) file format was originally created for recording and playing music on digital synthesizers. MIDI files are very small in size. The reason for this is that the MIDI file only contains information on how music is produced (e.g. note-ons and note-offs). The sound card which plays back the MIDI file takes this information and plays back music using an in-built soundcard wavetable.

The RA File Format

RA (RealAudio) files support streaming technology. Created by Progressive Networks, an RA file is highly optimized for live, streaming audio from websites. RA files are best played back on RealAudio players which are freely downloadable from Progressive Networks.

Conclusion

Well, that wraps up our coverage of the most popular music file formats out there. You may be interested to know that there are many software applications which can convert music from one format to another (e.g. MP3 to WAV or WAV to AIFF). Do a search for these applications at www.download.com.

How to Download Music From The Internet

Most of you have probably heard of the RIAA’s quest to crush online music piracy. The illegal sharing of copyrighted songs via the MP3 format over the Internet costs the music industry billions of dollars. This is conventionally done using illegal file sharing programs like KaZaa and iMesh. This article explores the legal ways to download and enjoy music from the Internet.

Method 1: Check out Free Music Sites

There are many free music websites which provide free music downloads. These are not the websites of your music pirates - they are totally legal. Don’t expect to find full albums to download, particularly if the song is from a famous artist (only music pirate websites allow full album downloads). You’ll only find a few “teasers” intended to make you want to buy the artists’ CD. Independent, less well-known artists are an exception - many of them will let you down their complete song catalog to promote themselves.

Here are a few of the free music websites which I recommend:

AMPCAST.com

Amazon.com Digital Music Downloads

RollingStone.com

ElectronicScene.com

The Internet Underground Music Archive

Method 2: Buy Music Online

An increasingly popular way to find and download music online is to head for legal online music services. The most popular of these is the Apples iTune service. Currently it provides over 400,000 songs from all five major labels. Each song is available for a standard price of 99 cents each. Here are the best online music services I’ve come across:

EMusic.com

iTunes

MusicMatch Downloads

Napster 2.0

Rhapsody

Weblisten.com

Conclusion

It is very tempting to use KaZaa and other file sharing programs to download music - but please don’t. If you wrote a song and sold a CD, would you be happy to see millions of people distributing that song for free? No. You don’t have to break the law to find and download free MP3 music. There are many websites out there offering free music - you just need to find them.

Grammy Award Winning Music Veteran Joins Teen Film, To Save a Life, Takes Helm on Music for Movie and Soundtrack

Charlie Peacock, composer and producer, to work on To Save a Life feature film set to release Fall 2009

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 15 /PRNewswire/ — Charlie Peacock, Grammy-award winner and six-time Grammy nominated producer, has taken the music helm for the feature film, To Save a Life.

“I saw a screening of an early cut of the film and was deeply moved,” Peacock explains. “This indie film looks great and has a very strong cast and script. Most importantly, it communicates in real-life language and emotion to the high school audience it seeks to reach. It also has the unique ability to entertain and make viewers think. That’s why I’m involved and giving my time to this project.”

Peacock is known for his artistic integrity and is a sought out mentor to many musicians, producers and storytellers. He is often noted as a unique musical and lyrical voice, intelligent, innovative and difficult to categorize. “Charlie will bring great sensitivity and intuition to the film,” says Jim Britts, screenwriter/producer. “We are so thrilled to have him on board and I’m excited to see the creativity he will bring to the film.”

To Save a Life is an indie film about the real life challenges of teens and their choices. To Save a Life stars Randy Wayne (The Dukes of Hazzard, Foreign Exchange, The Last Hurrah), Deja Kreutzberg (CSI Miami, Law and Order, Hope and Faith), and Kim Hidalgo (Ball Don’t Lie, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Scrubs). Directed by Brian Baugh (The Ultimate Gift, Jack and the Beanstalk).

As music supervisor, Peacock has a definite vision for a project of this nature. He states, “Music is such a pivotal part of teen life and culture - and it’s an important part of this film. I’m committed to having the music for the film reflect the independent nature of the film makers and of the viewers who will be attracted to the story.”

To Save a Life was shot in Oceanside, California and produced by New Song Pictures. Set for a fall release, the film is currently securing distribution. The trailer can be viewed at the official website www.tosavealifemovie.com.

A private screening of To Save a Life will be held Saturday, April 25th at the CBS Studio Center Lot Screening Room, Studio City, CA. To request tickets, please contact Lori@biscuitpr.com.
