			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wales has a long tradition of music and has been known as the &#8216;land of song&#8217; since at least the Nineteenth Century. This reference to Wales as the land of song, probably comes from the enthusiastic singing in Welsh churches and at Welsh sports meetings, especially at rugby matches. However, Wales&#8217; links with music go much further back than that.</p>
<p>Wales has a tradition of folk music which is closely linked with Scottish and Irish folk music. There are several forms of musical gathering that are comparable to those in other Celtic countries in the United Kingdom. For instance there is the twmpath (folk dance session), g?yl werin (folk festival) and noson lawen (a traditional party comparable to the Gaelic &#8220;C?ilidh&#8221;).</p>
<p>Modern Welsh folk musicians have often resurrected traditions which had been suppressed or forgotten, and have competed with imported and indigenous rock and pop trends. This has been especially true since the 1990&#8242;s.</p>
<p>Despite modern Welsh trends in music, Wales will always be connected with Male Voice Choirs such as the Morriston Orpheus Choir and Treorchy Male Voice Choir which benefit from world wide fame.</p>
<p>These choirs were frequently made up of workers from one village or one coal mine and so it was fairly natural for men to sing when one town played against another, particularly when that game was Wales&#8217; national sport of rugby. The first time the Welsh National Anthem, &#8216;Yr Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau&#8217; (&#8216;The Old Country of my Fathers&#8217;, normally translated as &#8216;Land of My Fathers&#8217;), was sung at an International sporting event was in 1905</p>
<p>Along side the choirs, brass bands developed in villages, working men&#8217;s clubs, churches and at work particularly in South Wales where brass bands are still very popular. In fact, the Cory Band is one of the most best brass bands in the world.</p>
<p>There were more than a few world famous Welsh singers in the Twentieth Century and some of them are still singing to packed audiences worldwide. Ivor Novello was one of the first who became well-known during the First World War as a singer songwriter. Then there was Geraint Evans and Delme Bryn-Jones during the Second World War.</p>
<p>After that, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey began their singing careers in the 1950&#8242;s and are still singing fifty years later. There were also popular bands during the Seventies and Eighties such as Man and Budgie and solo singers such as Shakin&#8217; Stevens, nnie Tyler and John Cale (Velvet Underground).</p>
<p>In more recent times, we have seen the Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, Super Furry Animals and Gorky&#8217;s Zygotic Mynci; the last two bands being famous for many their songs&#8217; lyrics being in Welsh.</p>
<p>There have always been operatic singers as well such as Rebecca Evans, Aled Jones, Bryn Tervel and Charlotte Church. Cardiff hosts the &#8216;Singer of the World&#8217; competition and the Wales also has its very own Eisteddfod, where Pavarotti sang for years. It was because of Wales tradition as a nation of singers that Paul Robeson sang in Wales in the Fifties</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you love going to the movie theater and get lost in the realism that their top-quality sound systems create? If you do, then I bet you are also one of those people who dislikes going there, only to have a potentially fantastic evening ruined by irresponsible people talking through the film or letting their cell phones ring.</p>
<p>I used to love the movie theater, but that was in the time when people respected the rights of others to listen to a movie in silence. There were no crying babies, ringing mobile phones or noisy youths in cinemas and if they got in they were soon kicked out if there was any noise.</p>
<p>Nowadays, cinema managers seem to take the easy route of letting these people spoil it for others. As a result, more and more quiet people are staying at home and the cinemas are becoming even noisier. If you are one of the stay-at-homes, but miss the cinema, why not recreate one in your home?</p>
<p>Build yourself a home cinema with surround sound. You will never be sorry for installing surround sound in your home, because you will be able to play your favourite films, the TV and your music through it. The distinction between surround sound and stereo or even quadraphonics is breath-taking.</p>
<p>Different people have different requirements, aspirations, finances and even hearing ability, so it is tricky to recommend a system to a mass audience, but there are ways and means for going about the purchase of your own home theater system. A lot of people buy a kit home theater. This is OK, if funds are limited, but you will want to upgrade the screen and the speakers before very long. If you just want to put a home theater in a small spare bedroom and do it quickly and easily, then this method is for you.</p>
<p>If, however, you want a bit more, then you might prefer to get a bigger screen but make do with the speakers that came with the kit. These can easily be upgraded later. If you want to get everything part by part, you will need a screen, speakers and DVD player. If you would like to play games too, replace the DVD player with an Xbox.</p>
<p>But back to the speakers, whether you are renewing or putting your own system together, the strategy I suggest hold true. Write down the dimensions of your room or better still make a little plan of it to scale. Take this around the shops and malls and try to listen to a few set-ups in a room similar to your own. This could be difficult, but you might be fortunate.</p>
<p>Work out whether you need a 3.1; 4.1; 5.1; 6.1 or even 7.1 set of compatible surround sound speakers. Basically, it all depends on the size of your room, but the shop assistant will be able to show and advise you. As a guideline, a 5.1 surround sound set will be sufficient for most rooms. The figures stand for normal speakers and sub-woofers: ie 5.1 means five normal speakers and one sub-woofer.</p>
<p>The arrangement of the speakers depends on the size and shape of the room and on your personal preference, but the standard layout would be: one speaker the far left and far right of the screen and one underneath it with two more speakers slightly apart from each other at the back of the audience. The sub-woofer can go at the front or the rear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The owner of TV Pink Zeljko Mitrovic lost his yacht &#8220;El Bosco&#8221;, which was seized by customs authorities in Croatia! He owed two million euros because it allegedly violated the law, reports local media. Mitrovic claims that did not break the law and to put pressure on him. [I:http://learningtoreadmusic.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/MileNikolic16.jpg]</p>
<p>Croatia&#8217;s &#8220;Jutarnji List&#8221; newspapers reported that the Customs authorities in September seized Mitrovic&#8217;s yacht 32 meters long, because she committed two customs violations. He is in fact, charged because at the time of entry into the Croatian territorial waters, as the majority owner of the El Bosko Ltd. to which the yacht was registered, was not on board? Also, Mitrovic was punished because he has hired four Croatian citizens! Local law, in fact, prohibited from working in the Croatian companies are working on a yacht that is foreign owned?!</p>
<p>- I am not a resident of Croatia, a ship registered in Gibraltar. The same is the case, for example, and with Bernie Ecclestone, but no one thinks of his seizure of a yacht! Also, it turns out that the problem is to employ the Croatian crew. This, I guess, thanks &#8230; &#8211; The indignant Mitrovic, who says that his lawyers appealed the decision of the Croatian customs and that he expects the first-instance decision on the sentence to be annulled.</p>
<p>- If you have already said that &#8220;El Bosco&#8221; made a breach, the ship was supposed to return to Montenegro, and not let him enter our sea and then to seizure and punishment &#8211; said in a written statement Nobilo. Pink TV has sent written statement to the media that Zeljko Mitrovic said that at the time of sailing yachts in Croatia&#8217;s territorial waters has found himself on a yacht, but there he was one of the owners of &#8220;El Bosco&#8221; from Gibraltar.</p>
<p>Currently, the customs procedure against the company &#8216;El Bosko Split&#8217; is the fuzzy decision of the competent authorities of second instance and the appeal lodged against the decision of the competent customs office. We expect that the appeal is granted, &#8220;the statement said.&#8221; Jutarnji list newspaper reminds that Zeljko&#8217;s luxury yacht with six cabins and two decks bought 2007th on Croatia boat show in Split for 10 million euros.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The generations alive now, particularly in the West, are all au fait with speaker technology to a limited degree. Most individuals started buying music centres in the Seventies if they were old enough and that trend has carried on and the technology has got better and better.</p>
<p>Audio reproduction has come on in leaps and bounds since the Fifties and Sixties when most individuals were content with a mono Dansette record player. My father was still listening to his favourite records on a wind-up record player with a dressmaker&#8217;s pin for a needle and a trumpet for a loudspeaker in the early Sixties. Then he purchased a Dansette later in the Sixties.</p>
<p>I purchased a Sanyo music centre in the Seventies and he followed suit. The quality of acoustic reproduction on those systems was laughable in comparison with what is on the market these days.</p>
<p>The latest development is surround sound, which was just accessible in the cinema twenty years ago, but surround sound speakers are a lot better now than they were then and you can install them at home without requiring a bank loan.</p>
<p>Usually surround sound speakers are connected with film scores, so a surround sound speaker system could be fitted to the outline jacks on your television or home theatre system.</p>
<p>Home theatres are very much in fashion now that many individuals are having to stay in more frequently to save money. A small family that likes to go to the pictures once a week can recoup the costs of a good home theatre system within a year.</p>
<p>When looking at surround sound speakers, you may think that the cost is high, but do not forget that it is the surround sound speakers that transform a film into a cinematographic experience. They also last forever if not abused.</p>
<p>Two bits of advice: buy the best that you can afford and get speakers that will stand on the floor or can be hung on the wall.</p>
<p>Purchase quality rather than quantity. If you can only afford two speakers of great quality, so be it, You can purchase another one later. With surround sound, the rule is: the more speakers the better.</p>
<p>Three is the absolute minimum, seven is fine, but eight is much better. The more speakers that you have, the less volume you will have to drive through them so the longer they will last.</p>
<p>The above configurations will be stated as: 2:1 (stereo plus a sub-woofer); 6:1 (front and back stereo speakers, a front central channel and a rear sub-woofer); 7:1 will add a rear central channel.</p>
<p>A good thing concerning this sort of surround speaker system is that you can easily upgrade it, but you have to start properly by buying a recognized marque that will allow you to add speakers throughout the years.</p>
<p>One of the best speaker systems you can buy is Bose, but they are costly, but they are also the envy of any sound enthusiast as well. If you would like the best, but do not have the capital take your time creating a system of Bose surround sound speakers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second most important part of a good home theater set-up is its loudspeakers. You simply cannot attain that authentic theater environment, if you do not have good speakers. It goes without saying too, that the amplifier and player must be just as good, because any system is only as good as its weakest part.</p>
<p>However, if you do it right, you can easily recreate the sound quality achieved in a full size movie theater. Regrettably though, many people seem to get confused about which speakers they should have, when they go to buy for their home theater in order to create proper surround sound.</p>
<p>The minimum requirements for a good set of surround sound speakers are a left and right channel speaker, a centre channel speaker and a sub-woofer. The following are the basic speakers that are required to complete a good home theater: front left and right speakers, a centre channel speaker, surround sound speakers. Sometimes people try to do without the centre channel speaker, but this speaker provides a good proportion of the soundtrack in many movies as well as adding depth to the dialogue.</p>
<p>The surround sound makes the film seem more realistic. It is what makes the difference between watching TV at home and going to the movie theater. The option of having this at home has only recently become affordable. The most common systems are: 5.1 channel, 6.1 channel, or 7.1 channel surround sound. The first digit refers to the number of normal loud speakers and the second one to the number of sub-woofers. The amount of speakers that is the best for you, depends on the size and shape of the room you are sitting in. The more is not always the merrier.</p>
<p>The sub-woofer is the cause of the deep bass sound that underlies so many movie soundtracks and these are the sounds that are responsible for heightening the drama in a film. A good sub-woofer is an vital element of your home theater speaker package, if you do not have one, you will miss out on this.</p>
<p>There are many makes on the market and some are cheaper than others, but it is essential that you pick speakers that will work well together. They have to be compatible. If you do not know how to make certain that they are, the best choice for this is to purchase all your speakers together in one kit by one maker. It may be tempting to save money by mixing and trying to match speakers, but if you get it wrong, you will not create the true quality of sound you are hoping to achieve in your home theater.</p>
<p>Some speakers are made to stand on the floor and others are made to hang on the wall. Floor standing speakers are the best for home theater, but they also take up the most room and can have wires running everywhere. If this is not a problem to you, then fine, but if it is, you can solve it by purchasing wireless speakers.</p>

It&#8217;s a fair $50 for 500 minutes of speaking. Although it could be no distinct compared to a month-to-month contract, in the event you search more closely, you could in reality be saving funds. A typical mobile mobile phone bill is roughly $50 to $75 eacg month for about 500 to 1,000 minutes.</p>
<p>Even so, what in case you are not in a position to use these minutes? The succeeding month your cellular phone bill is nonetheless the same. And in the event you call someone out of state or use your mobile telephone although roaming, you can find other fees added for your bill. Using the prepaid mobile phone from LG, the price is often exactly the same, $0.ten, no matter whether you are producing normal calls, extended distance calls or even when you are roaming, it&#8217;s only 10 cents each and every minute.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s say you merely use your LG 620G for a couple of hours per month.</p>

And you don&#8217;t lose the minutes when the month is up since you prepaid for 500 minutes so you just go on speaking until finally you use the minutes up. Which for a lot of cell phone users indicates they could be saving amongst $500 and $1,000 per year by just paying for the speak time they use.

<p>I play guitar by ear and have done so for 3 years and even though I&#8217;ve tried to learn how to read music, it always looks so foreign!!! It becomes a headache, and I give up. I know it&#8217;s not necessary to know how to read music, because I&#8217;ve gotten exceptionally good; I play at open mics and even have job offers and I&#8217;m 17! But there must be a way to learn how to read music, and I want to know how for my own benefit, and for my band. =/ Could anybody suggest a website or book I could read? Do you think &#8220;Music for Dummies&#8221; or whatever would help? I&#8217;m kind of in a rut with this! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You would think that once you have your degree in Music Production you would be well on your way, would you not? But it does not normally work like that. It is false that acquiring a degree makes acquiring a job easier, because there are more people going for jobs with degrees than ever before and we are in an period when every business is searching for savings. It is true though that you will not ge a decent job with prospects without a degree any more.</p>
<p>So, you have your degree in music production and firms are not falling over themselves to hire you, so what do you do now? Well, one of the things that you should do is put your creative talent to work to find ways to get a career in the music industry. Before we get onto the issue of looking for a career, there are a few items that you have to know about music firms.</p>
<p>Most young people fantasize of getting into the music industry and rubbing shoulders with stars even if they do not have any talent. Because of this the music industry as a whole rarely needs to advertise for vacant jobs although they may be required to by law in some countries.</p>
<p>They will just pay lip service to this law because it is daft, a sop and unenforcable. They will promote from within, use family and hire head-hunters, just like most companies do.</p>
<p>This means that it is at least as much who you know as what you know and this means networking. You will have to learn how to network to get yourself at least an interview. Attempt to get in even if it means on the lowest rung of the ladder, as an intern.</p>
<p>The vast majority of companies that take interns fill vacant positions with the best and most eager interns. The drawback is that interns get paid very little if at all. But if government can get away with it so will industry.</p>
<p>The first step to take after getting your degree is to study up on the career you would like and the company you would like it with. You know how to do that. Learn as much about the job and the firm as you can. Then draw up a list of all the people you know who might be able to help you or vouch for you.</p>
<p>Teachers, lecturers, bands you roadied for, concerts you helped out on &#8211; anything &#8211; and contact them. Ask if they know of anything going and get their permission to use their name in an interview or career application.</p>
<p>Send out resumes to the exact person by name who has the authority to hire or recommend you. This involves more research. This is a long shot because music production firms are swamped with resumes, but follow yours up with a second letter and enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope. Send a third too, why not? Then begin following it up by email and phone.</p>
<p>Stay calm, be pleasant, but say that you would like a reply and if you have been turned down with reasons why so that you can remedy your short-comings. Attempt to learn from set-backs and one day it will work out for you.</p>
