How to Write a Black Eyed Peas Song

What is the Blues and do you know what it is when you hear it? What is R&B (Rhythm and Blues)? How does it all differ from Rock music? They all are distinct musical styles that, in fact, fuse together.

Blues. The blues has been attributed to a music genre created mainly in African-American communities in the South. It is characterized by what is called a twelve-bar blues where the chord progression is the first, fourth and fifth chord or note in the key.

There are many branches of the blues, Chicago blues, delta blues and swamp blues being some of them. The blues can probably be called the father of R&B and Rock Music. The music can best be characterized by the music of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and B.B. King.

The blues is even found in orchestral works such as George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blues” and “Concerto in F”.

R & B. In its simplest form, is blues with an up-speed tempo. Also called race music, the term was coined in 1948. Two of the performers and tunes who exemplified R&B in the 50s were Little Richard (Tutti Fruti, Long Tall Sally, and Lucille) and Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode and Roll Over Beethoven), although his distinctive guitar made his interpretation closer to what became rock music.

Rock Music. The person who straddled the line best between R&B and Rock was probably Elvis Presley. His recording of the old blues tune, “Hound Dog” might be considered one of the first rock and roll tunes. However, the song that is generally credited as being the first is “Rock Around the Clock” recorded in 1954 by Bill Haley and the Comets.

When the Beatles came along, they freely admitted that much of the influence behind their music was Chuck Berry and Elvis.

When audiences first glimpse this elegant, be-jeweled, lady enter the concert stage to take her seat at a 9’ Steinway, they immediately take note of her petite stature, particularly as the centerpiece of a huge orchestra. But when Pearl Kaufman raises her arm to cue the musical director, she’s decidedly in charge. Audiences are spellbound by her seemingly effortless precision as her hands trickle over the keys, and they’re thoroughly enchanted by the narrative she weaves into her concert.

At age seven, Pearl’s mother sent her to the movies. The movie was “Laura”, and Pearl was so haunted by the beauty of the film’s theme, she returned home and announced to her mother that she’d discovered her life’s desire – to play the piano.

True to her calling, Pearl eventually earned a music Masters. Her solo appearances with The Los Angeles Festival, Philharmonic, and Symphony Orchestras led to her play Igor Stravinsky’s entire Columbia Music recording series.

Since then, Pearl has played for over 200 films, including “Five Easy Pieces”, starring Jack Nicholson, whom she taught to play the piano for one of the scenes in the movie. “He was an excellent student,” she recalls, “a quick study and delightful to work with.”

Pearl has played original movie scores for such films as “The Great Escape”, “Summer of ‘42”, “Being There”, “The Pink Panther”, and “Dr. Zhivago”, which turned out to be the longest and most expensive studio recording session in motion picture history. The film’s director wanted authentic Russian balalaika players to play for a battle scene in the picture. Kaufman recalls, “100 Russian men showed up at the studio to record the arrangement, which should have taken about 15 minutes. Not one of them spoke a word of English or could sight-read a single note, and each had a bottle of vodka under his arm. My father, who spoke fluent Russian, served as a translator. I taught each man his part, and 18 hours later, we finally recorded the 4 minute piece…and there was not one drop of vodka in those bottles!”

If you have it in you to play a musical instrument or sing, most likely you will know it at a very early age. It will feel like a force that compels you to act on it. For example, if you like rhythm, you might be pounding on objects or develop makeshift drumsticks, cymbals and drums out of toys or pots and pans!

If you like the guitar, you might be strumming on stretched out rubber bands and if you like the blow instruments, you might be blowing whistles or whistling.

Eventually, you might bug your parents enough that they will buy you an instrument to get started. If that is the case, following are some factors to consider:

Patience. If you are young, you might not have a choice. You might be thrust into joyless lessons on music mechanics that create dullness in what once seemed like great joy. Stay with it. Learn what you can from lessons. You can begin creating quickly in music and can do that in your off time.

Approach. Not only were the Beatles not classically trained but neither John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, nor Ringo Starr could read music. They just played. When they needed a chord, they either figured it out themselves or travelled to see someone who knew it. Discover what works for you and do it.

Practice. Every musician that is worth hearing, practices all the time. Most of the time, if you are driven, it is a labor of love and a chance to get better. In fact, one famous studio guitarist saved up enough money when he was in his late teens to take off work for one year. For that year, all he did eight to ten hours a day like a job, was learn the guitar. After that year, he could play any style guitar and became a much sought after studio musician who constantly worked.

When he was just eight years old, Fabio Zini’s father presented him with his first guitar. He studied under Santiago Aicardi,and by the age of thirteen, was performing professionally in such venues as Argentina’s renowned “Festival de Cosquin”. During his early developmental years, he studied music at several private conservatories , and took Master classes with Tito Francia, Francisco Gil Baines (Paco), Juan Mehaudi (Poroto) and Julio Rolon.In 1994 he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Musical Education wit an instrumental major in guitar from Universidad Nacional del Litoral in his home town of Santa Fe, Argentina. By 1995, it was his honor to record with Hector Consolek, the last double-bass player who played with the legendary tango composer Astor Piazzolla.

Originally from Santa Fe, Argentina, Fabio now bases out of Florida. He presents a wide, spicy Latin repertoire that combines Tango-Argentine Folk with Classical Music, and he’s composed several works for the guitar as well as for other instruments. He’s an extraordinarily versatile musician with a multifaceted career, not only as a distinguished composer, but an electrifying performing artist as well. Fabio romances his guitar, and together they dance on stage for a most mesmerizing effect, making him as easy to watch as he is to listen to.

His book, The 10 Commandments of the Guitar, offers ten original compositions written following his invention of the “Zinisterio System”, the first music notation in color for the guitar. It is a fresh approach to musical expression with it’s own original method of teaching, writing, and reading music in color. The soaring spirit of Fabio’s music is sure to capture the listener’s emotions and motivate students to pursue higher levels of performance. In 2007, Fabio released a CD by the same name, and the classical collection includes 12 stunningly captivating arrangements, an assortment of tangos, waltzes, and milongas, all exquisitely performed. The level of his technique blends soft arpeggios, rich chords, and intricate fingering, for a soulful effect that delights audiences here in the U.S. as well as in South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Far East.

Finding out information used to be a time-consuming process. If you needed a biography on a famous person, you might have to spend hours looking through books at the library in order to compile enough information about the person. If you wanted to take out a car insurance policy, you had to call around to different companies to find out information. If you wanted to compare quotes, you had to schedule an appointment with several different companies and take notes so you could review the information at home.

The Internet has forever changed the way people get information. While libraries will always have a place, many people now spend the majority of their time searching for data on the Internet. Why shuffle through the pages of the dictionary looking for a specific word when you can type in “Define: word” and get the answer within a second on the Internet? To save even more time, many people bookmark a reference so they can load their favorite reference site even faster.

When you’re looking for information on the Internet, keep in mind that not all information is valid. Free websites that allow user-generated content may contain false information. By using online reference websites, you increase the probability that the information you find is, in fact, true. This can prevent a major headache because you won’t have to worry about conflicting information or misinformed data.

If you need information on a specific topic on an ongoing basis, consider signing up for the RSS feed with an online reference. This allows you to get the latest information in your email without having to visit the reference site. This is handy when you need to know the latest side effects for a medication or information relevant to your job. With online references, you can find everything you need from your home without building your own library.

Whether you are in an orchestra, an a cappella group or a 60s tribute band, the dynamics when you put two or more musicians in a situation where they have to make music together, it can make for well… beautiful music, smoldering resentment or raging battles.

So, what are the key ingredients needed to make a musical group function?

The Music- It is always better if the people in the group like the same music. For example, if you have a band that plays horn music like Motown, or Chicago, they might not want to learn Led Zeppelin. In a repertoire of 100 or so tunes, deviations can work but all members must agree to them.

Egos- Music displays egos as well as provides the chance for beautiful teamwork, something like a basketball team. The members need to be mature enough to know when to express themselves and selfless enough to know when lay back and let a fellow member shine.

Mission- All group members need to agree on a plan for the band. Are you playing for fun? Do you want to get paid gigs? Do you want to jam? For example, if you want to get paid gigs, then make sure all of the members know that and act together toward achieving that goal.

Roles- It is good to know what role each member will play in the group. For example, maybe one person focuses on gigs, another makes sure the equipment is functioning and yet another creates the playlist. It is best if the role each person plays is something they want to do and are good at.

Behavior- An endeavor like a musical group works if everyone respects each other. This means speaking in respectful tones, coming on time for rehearsal and making sure that you chip in where needed if any purchases are necessary.

Garin Bader was just 3 when his mother, a piano teacher, began teaching him to play the piano. By age five, he made his first appearance on national television, performing on The Merve Griffin Show. By his teens, Garin received over a dozen classical piano competition awards, including the Artist’s International Young Musicians Audition, and the International Chopin Competition of New York. Part of his Chopin gold medal win included a private tour of Chopin’s home, a memory he tells in the narrative of his concert.

Today, Garin Bader enchants audiences in prestigious concert venues across the U.S., and internationally, including Carnegie Hall and the London Palladium. He is not only an exceptional classical stylist on the piano, his show has expanded to blend his love of magic and illusion for an evening of “mugic” that fills the stage with visual delights, consistently surprises, and leaves audiences spellbound. His closing scene portrays himself as 19th century Mozart composing at his piano with quill in hand, writing by the light of a lit candelabra he produces by illusion. Mozart’s rival, Solieri, steals in from the wings to poison Mozart’s cup, locks him in a trunk, then raises a black canopy. Seconds later, when the canopy falls, Marie Antoinette steps out of the trunk, an impressive twist on traditional magic’s metamorphosis illusion.

Garin’s extensive travels inspired him to record “One Heart’s Journey”, a CD of original “musical portraits and landscapes”. Each melody paints a story, particularly “Table for One”, which is part of his expanded show and features the choreography and dance of his talented wife, Vanessa. “Valiant Return”, “The Wish”, “Just One More Night”, and “Reaching Through the Moon” are just a few of the selections that will refresh your soul, relax your mind, and make your spirit soar.

When he’s not performing, Garin Bader can be found in his studio in Las Vegas where he teaches a core-force fitness strategy he’s developed for improving strength, building confidence, and enhancing your life. This strategy is key to his success, and he’s committed to teaching his methods to others.

When you solo with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age 14, win the prestigious Avery Prize, and write cadenzas that make angels weep, you don’t expect the crown jewel of your career to occur at an elevator landing in a city subway station. Yet thanks to an experiment staged by Washington Post writer Gene Weingarten, this is exactly what happened to violin virtuoso Joshua Bell.

The premise of Weingarten’s experiment was simple: if a world-class musician were to busk at a Metro stop, would commuters take notice? Weingarten convinced one-time prodigy Joshua Bell to tote his Stradivarius to L’Enfant Plaza to find out. Though Bell’s playing was at its lyrical finest, a mere seven people out of one thousand commuters stopped to watch any part of the performance.

Bell was the right catalyst for this experiment. Joshua Bell’s career began, in a sense, when he discovered that he could vary the pitch of rubber bands by stretching them to different lengths. At the tender and curious age of three he imitated his mother’s piano tunes by stringing rubber bands on a drawer and stretching them sequentially to tune.

Bell became known as a prodigy who also loved games, especially video games. An early interview caught young Josh Bell slyly admitting that he tried to garner more video game time by convincing his mom that Atari was his way of cross training for the violin.

In Bell, Weingarten had identified an undeniable master of the violin as well as a showman who loved games and experiments. However, this particular experiment had an unexpected repercussion for Bell. Weingarten’s piece won a Pulitzer, and the stunt became so famous that it nearly eclipsed Bell’s own fame as a violin legend.

In a recent interview he sighed over the aftermath. Strangers who know nothing about classical music recognize Bell now, but not in his capacity as a master of his instrument. They know him as the famous busker of L’Enfant Plaza, who performs professionally for thousands of dollars per minute and yet was ignored by a sea of indifferent commuters.

Classical guitarist extraordinaire, Marc Teicholz was not only the 1st prize winner of The 1989 International Guitar Foundation of America Competition, he was also the winner in New york’s 1991 ‘East-West Artists competition, the 1986 Paganini competition, and finalist in the 1992 Pro-Musicians competition, as well.

Marc has just released his fourth in a succession of classical CD’s. “CANCIONES” is reflective of Marc’s passion for classical Spanish themes, and features 14 selections exquisitely performed by Teicholz, and featured cellist, Sharon O’Connor for a sublime listening experience. Noteworthy composers Joaquin Malats, Isaac Albeniz, Joaquin Turina, Federico Mompou, Francisco Tarrega, and Manuel de Falla are all honored in this collection. Selections include: “Sevillana Op.29”, “Preludio”, and the lively “La Vida Breve” to name a few.

Teicholz has toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia to critical acclaim for his master classes and recitals. In the mid-90’s, he toured New Zealand, Fuji, the Philippines and Singapore as an Artistic Ambassador for the United States. His career as a soloist has led him to play with orchestras in Russia, Spain, Portugal, Hawaii and California, and his playing reflects the flavors of all these countries in his broad repertoire.

Marc’s previous CD releases, “The Music of Napoleon Coste”, and “The Music of Fernando Sor I and II”, earned him international acclaim for his commitment to precisely playing “the ink” of these notorious composers. He’s recorded for such prestigious labels as Naxos, Sugo, and Menus and Music, as well as recording the pilot soundtrack for George Lucas’ “Young Indiana Jones.”

Currently, Marc Teicholz performs over 60 community concerts a year as part of the quartet “A Festival of Four.” He’s on the prestigious faculty of both The San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and The California State University at Hayward. He graduated Magna cum Laude from Yale University where he received his master’s degree from the Yale School of Music.
