How Tension Affects Your Voice (And What to Do About It!)

How Tension Affects Your Voice (And What to Do About It!) Suzy S. As a beginner singer, its important to understand how unnecessary tension affects your tone and your breath support. Here, NY teacher  Nadia B.  shares what to keep in mind and how to combat that tension Singing is, in many ways, a very natural activity. We all have a voice, and it is meant to be used to communicate in speech and in music. However, when one delves more into the art of singing through voice lessons, practice, and performance, tension sometimes creeps in. It can seem uncontrollable and the source unidentifiable. The reasons for tension are many, but with the following tips you should be able to better identify how to sing without tension and enjoy a singing practice that is full of expression and requires much less effort. Understanding the Common Causes of Tension To combat tension, the first step is to understand some of the common causes for tension while singing. The most common ones I encounter are a mix of psychological and physical. Trying to be right and using too much effort are two of the biggest factors in tension. To identify whether these apply to you, notice as you’re singing if you’re always trying to fix something. Are you set on singing each passage perfectly, no matter what it takes? You might especially notice this in your singing lessons, when your teacher is observing you. While the intention is good, trying to sing something perfectly can lead to excess mental and physical tension. Using too much effort goes along with this idea. Although singing is a very natural activity, sometimes singers use too much effort in an attempt to sing loudly, more expressively, or faster. So, What Can You Do? Pay attention to your physical reaction and your thoughts as you approach a passage that calls for one of the above qualities. Do you notice an increase in tension, or of negative or panicky thoughts? If so, simply noticing these trends and taking steps to reduce your engagement with these unproductive methods can greatly reduce the amount of tension you’re using. Instead of placing your mental and physical energy in these methods, focus on staying open as you allow the expression to come up and out of you, connecting with the ground to sing louder, and using the breath as a means to propel a fast passage instead of muscular effort or unhelpful thoughts. What Else Causes Tension? Two additional mindsets that lead to excess tension are over-focusing and anxiousness. As you sing, are you overly focused on the voice and the vocal mechanism? While the vocal mechanism is undoubtedly important, singers can forget the rest of the body, which is an important part of resonance, power, and connection. If you are fixated on the vocal mechanism, try to bring your awareness to the whole torso, and then include the legs, arms, head, and feet as well. Similarly, feeling anxious or nervous while performing can create tension. To work with nerves while practicing or before a performance, give yourself a few breaths to notice what areas of your body are responding to the feelings of nerves, and see if you can mentally connect those areas to the whole of you. For example, while your neck might feel tight and tense, remembering that it is part of your whole spine and supported by all the buoyant connections within the spine and the ribcage can help you release the tension. Dont Let Tension Take Over! Whatever the cause of tension, it always has a physical manifestation that can be very uncomfortable and can interfere greatly with singing naturally and beautifully. As you become more in tune with how to sing without tension, use your awareness of your body to release tension in the following areas: The root of the tongue (it should be soft, not tight and hard) The jaw (release the muscles of the jaw to free the whole vocal mechanism, including the throat, the back of the neck, the head and mask and the tops of the shoulders) The soft palette (allowing it to rise up, or releasing any depression in the soft palette, can create more room for resonance) The throat (not tightening or constricting the throat allows the air to move easily) The mask (releasing any deadening in the sinuses, contraction in the eyes and forehead, and allowing the nose to be wide can create much more space for the sound) The intercostal muscles (in between the ribs; allowing these muscles to release allows the breath to move easily in and out without excess effort) The diaphragm and the back (the diaphragm’s connection to the ribs and back makes it essential for ease in singing, and the back is a wide and long swath of musculature that you can allow to expand to create more flexibility and freedom in your singing) The back line (think of this as a line that extends from your sacrum down through the buttocks and legs and into your heels; allowing it to lengthen into the ground ensures that you are not over-contracting the buttocks, legs, and ankles) With these tips, you can easily discover how to sing without tension! And in the process, you may also find even greater delight and enjoyment in exploring the craft of singing. Use these tips as a jumping off point for your own exploration of how your whole self â€" body, mind, and soul â€" acts as an open vessel for expressing everything a rich, meaningful voice has to offer.

Building Childrens Confidence in School

Building Children’s Confidence in School School doesnt come easy for every child. It can be a challenging experience, and one that requires persistence and patience. Unfortunately, however, when school work becomes overly difficult, many children lose faith in themselves as students. Left uncorrected, this can have a lasting detrimental effect on a childs performance in school and overall attitude and demeanor. To pave the way for school success, parents should work to build their childrens self-confidence. Confident children do not shy away from hard work and will generally see failure as an opportunity to make changes and try again. How can you develop your childs confidence? Here are several tips: Be supportive. Children typically trust what their parents say as the truth, so its essential that parents regularly let them know that they believe in their abilities. To grow into capable, confident students, children need to feel supported by parents, not controlled. Let your child take the reins on homework and school and be on hand for help. Work together on goal setting. The process of goal setting helps children take control of their success, resulting in a greater willingness to attempt hard things and increased confidence that their efforts will yield good results. Encourage your child to lay out what he or she wants to achieve and the barriers standing in the way, as well as a plan to work around those obstacles. Foster independence. Whenever possible, parents should offer their children the chance to make decisions for themselves. Set high but achievable expectations, then put trust in your child to tackle tasks on his or her ownfrom homework to household chores. This will cultivate your childs sense of responsibility. Every accomplishment, however small or routine, gives your child the assurance that he or she is capable. Encourage doing new things. Parents who nudge their children to put themselves out there to try thingsfrom joining a new club to taking challenging classesare helping them grow and adapt to new situations. Always support your childs attempts to acquire new skills and learn from challenging endeavors. While parents cannot simply make their children confident, they can take note of their childrens strengths and encourage them to work hard, take initiative, persevere, and learn from their mistakes. These types of actions inspire children to go for what they want and strive to improve themselves as students and people, taking calculated risks along the way. Confidence, after all, is one of the building blocks for academic achievement. By making your child feel empowered and skilled, you are equipping him or her with the tools for lifelong school and career success.

Kumon Runs Deep for this Trio of Siblings

Kumon Runs Deep for this Trio of Siblings Kumon Runs Deep for this Trio of Siblings Meet the Rodrigues familyâ€"Sheridan (13), Rania (11), and Haydn (9). Their parents, Chantal and Dominic, decided to enroll them in the Kumon Math and Reading Program three years ago. Thanks to their hard-work and the guidance from Instructor Gulnar Surani at Kumon of Summerlin, today all three of them are studying above their respective grade levels and achieving remarkable success outside the classroom. Sheridan’s time in Kumon is impressive. He enrolled when he was 10 years-old and quickly completed the entire math and reading program in one short year. That means he was studying Shakespeare and calculus at 11-years-old! And the most impressive thing about his accomplishment is that he did that while also a member of the US Youth Olympic Development Program for Nevada, participating in state piano competitions, and winning many regional and state academic awards. “Kumon provided Sheridan with an incredible foundation that goes beyond merely the curriculum of the math and reading programs,” said Chantal, Sheridan’s mother. “It extends to the fundamental process of seeking and gaining knowledge, being consistent, learning independence, being motivated, trying hard and sometimes failing, building perseverance, setting goals, measuring yourself, and ultimately succeeding.” Rania was 7-years-old when she first enrolled in Kumon. She immediately fell in love with the Kumon Math Program and completed the entire program by the time she was 11. As the second sibling to become a program completer, she was studying three years above her grade level in Kumon. Not to mention balancing competitive soccer and musical activities. Rania may be the middle child between her two brothers, but she is definitely her own person. “Rania is like the little engine that could,” said Dominic, Rania’s father. “She sets high goals and big dreams for herself, and they truly are her own, not ours or her brothers’. Some may be realistic, and some may not be; however, she embraces all of them as if they were of the same importance to her.” Did we mention that she consistently ranked in the top 20 of top performing Kumon Math Students in all of North America? The youngest of the three siblings, Haydn was just 5-years-old when he enrolled in the program. Now at 9-years-old, he’s studying three years above his grade level in math and reading at Kumonâ€"discovering trigonometric functions and analyzing literary characters while improving critical reading abilities. “Haydn is an inspiration to us because of what he has achieved in the Kumon Program at such a young age,” said his parents, Chantal and Dominic. “The youngest of our three children in Kumon, he has worked smartly and quickly to progress to the upper levels in just a few years.” Haydn also plays competitive soccer and the violin. He consistently ranks in Kumon North America’s Top 20 in both the math and reading programs. A healthy dose of sibling rivalry is good for the competitive soul, but it’s obvious that this trio of siblings are just as proud of each other’s accomplishments. We look forward to seeing their continued success inside and outside of the classroom. Discover even more student success stories.

For instance, if your focus is on Levantine Arabic, a channel that teaches North African Arabic wont be as useful.Look at the level of the content. Ideally, you should look for YouTube channels that focus on your level.  For instance, if a channel posts exclusively beginning vocabulary, it isnt a great choice for advanced level learners.Check how frequently videos are posted. It can be helpful to go and look at old videos, but its even better if a channel posts frequently since this will be a helpful reminder to study the language.Watch a couple videos to see if you like the style.  Each channel has a different production style, and educational channels frequently have different teaching styles. Watching a couple videos on any channel youre interested in will help you determine whether you like the style enough to keep watching.Dont hesitate to mix and match channels.  Thankfully, theres no one stopping you from watching any and all channels you like.

Things to Appreciate Before Autumn Ends

Things to Appreciate Before Autumn Ends pinterest.com The weather during autumn is something that I definitely have to point out. The weather is in that stage of “not too hot” and “not too cold.” I’m not sweating and I’m certainly not freezing to death. Autumn makes sure to find that perfect balance. This type of weather just calls for cute outfits. I honestly refer to autumn as cardigan season. Its that time of the year to wear comfy sweaters, leggings, and adorable accessories. Also, dark red and dark purple lipstick just scream out at me when this season comes around. pinterest.com All those pretty colors and outfits will just compliment all your Instagram pictures. I know that many people (including myself) take advantage of taking artsy pictures near pumpkin patches and leaves on the ground. So before you decide to skip autumn, just remember that this is the season where your likes and followers are sure to rise. Let’s not forget to mention that stores, bakeries, and restaurants all have that one pumpkin item on the menu that you just adore.   There’s pumpkin pie, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread, and even pumpkin cookies! The pumpkin possibilities are endless during this time! pinterest.com Theres so many more things that come along with autumn. But besides that, theres something else thats a bit more important than all of the items mentioned above. I know that Halloween apparently marks the end of fall, but it’s not. Theres one more holiday to celebrate and that’s Thanksgiving. Whether you hate it or don’t even believe that it’s a holiday that deserves to be celebrated, just give thanks. It’s good to have a moment in the year where you spend time with your loved ones and just say all that youre thankful for. Its the perfect time to reflect on everything. With that being said, I hope you take advantage of these next couple of weeks in November. Happy fall!

When to Use a Knockout Or a Bo3 Chemistry?

When to Use a Knockout Or a Bo3 Chemistry?While a majority of players believe that a Bo3 Chemistry is always better than a Bo5, some are of the opinion that a Bo3 Chemistry is just as good as a Bo5 Chemistry. This is not really a fair argument. As much as we love having a couple of rounds with our favorite football team and try to sneak one in as soon as possible, it is only natural to want the competition to be as intense as possible. The league, which has the toughest competition amongst teams is usually the league which has the highest level of competition between teams and this is why the best leagues are divided into two categories: a Knockout and a Bo3 Chemistry.The Knockout format is normally more focused on getting all of the points, winning as many games as possible before a final in which the best team will make it to the finals. The benefits of a Knockout format of the game are that the players are given more chances to play but also have a chance to improve their performa nce because in such a competition you know that there is no money on the line and that the team will not be able to buy the opponent out of the competition for example if they lose and then make it to the semis. This is the reason why the competition is so intense and why the best teams in the world would never attempt to miss any opportunity to qualify for the finals.But in a Knockout, the difference between the winners and the losers is just too huge. The best possible scenario that can come from a Knockout is that you get to watch the finals in a live setting, which means that there are less variables which makes the results unpredictable. A Knockout doesn't allow any game to end with a tie since there is no prize money involved, so if the two teams of equal performance to meet at the end and the winner has the advantage, this will definitely happen and this is a sign of the strength of a team.The game format for a Bo3 Chemistry is different from a Knockout and the two formats ar e different in many ways. First, there is no prize money in a Bo3 Chemistry and the teams are not forced to qualify for the playoffs to qualify for the finals; in a Knockout however, because there is a prize money at stake, there is a pressure to win the championship in order to earn some money.While a Bo3 Chemistry requires that the teams of equal performance are allowed to play each other to determine who will go on to the finals, in a Knockout there is no need for that because the league does not pay any prize money and there is no guarantee that the best team will go on to the finals. The players are still trying to qualify for the playoffs and so there is a great chance that their performance in the earlier rounds will determine their success in the final. So it is really more about how the team will be able to put up a tough fight until the end and maybe even the best team in the world will go through to the finals.In a Knockout, the difference between the teams is very small and there is very little variation in the performances between the teams. Sometimes even the final result depends on the result of the earlier rounds. It is not often that teams have a strong performance in the early rounds but the players are very eager to qualify for the finals and usually the best players will play their very best in the later rounds to win the championship.Therefore, it is best to learn the difference between a Knockout and a Bo3 Chemistry before participating in any of the tournament and especially in a better league. There is no doubt that a Knockout is better and more difficult to qualify for and therefore the team which has the most exciting competition wins the championship in a Bo3 Chemistry.
