TINIE Tempah wants to front a safe sex campaign as he’s ensuring he doesn’t create any small Tinies. The rapper believes new track Frolicsome, which I am expecting to follow his debut Pass Out to number 1, is a positive illustration of what it’s love to be a reasonable single. Chatting with Playlist’s Natalie Edwards at this weekend’s GreatEscape Holiday in Brighton, Tinie explained: I would like to front a safe sex campaign because I do not need any mini Tinies running about so I emphasize the importance about being safe.
I latterly moved out of home. When mummy cleaned out my room she did not find my porn collection but she was like: ‘You’ve got so many condoms.’ I am a fully developed guy now and I might be able to speak to my mummy about it. Frolicsome is all about open truth. I am a young and free 21-year-old chap who doesn’t really need to make any commitments to any person. After a gig I just need to get frolicsome and, to be truthful, there’s rather a lot of offers.
Londoner Tinie Tempah Frisky, who releases Frolicsome on June seven, said he doesn’t have any goal of letting his success change him. He announced: I am awfully reasonable in that I am really particular about who I let in to my personal world. “When you are in my position it is very to get carried away and finish up doing lots of stuff you’ll regret”. Wise lad.

The Suzuki violin method has come to dominate the way violin is taught in America and throughout much of the world. Mention the Suzuki violin method to music educators, and you will get a variety of responses. While it is common for some teachers to mix elements of Suzuki violin method with the traditional approach other teachers either love or hate the Suzuki method. Let’s examine the Suzuki violin versus the traditional violin below.
The Suzuki violin study method emphasizes passive modes of learning - watching and listening. Before engaging in formal study, Suzuki violin students are exposed to recordings of the first and subsequent pieces they will play, as well as recordings of great performances from the general classical repertory. This continues when students begin formal study and as they progress. Recordings are played as “background music”, for hours each day and at low volume levels. Here, the thinking is that exposure to recordings is similar to the effect of immersion that naturally occurs in the process of primary language acquisition. Successful study is enhanced by prolonged repeated exposure. Suzuki violin students develop an internal model of the music to be studied. They memorize the music and internalize the nuances of pitch, tone, timing, articulation, and dynamics demonstrated in recorded performances.
Traditional violin study favors a type of training that virtually ignores passive learning approaches. While students may be encouraged to listen to recordings of the more advanced repertory played by concert artists or symphony orchestras, beginning students are generally not given the opportunity to listen to recordings of the beginning pieces that they are or will be studying.
Suzuki violin incorporates the passive mode in class. Before Suzuki violin students ever receive the violin, they observe others who are doing what they will eventually do. Even after receiving and working with the violin, they continue to observe others in the masterclass setting and group lessons. While, the more traditional violin lessons are modeled on an environment of isolation. When students do interact, competition between individual students is often used as a means to motivate them. Cooperative learning techniques are neglected or ignored. With the one-on-one model, students don’t get much opportunity to study and play music with peers.
The Suzuki violin method imparts technical skills needed to play the violin in a way that has similarities with the approach used in traditional Asian martial arts. There is meticulous attention to form, detail, and movement and it is usually taught by a master who has been handed the skills by other masters. Suzuki formulated a highly original violin technique that is radical and remarkably efficient. He has disseminated these ideas to teachers and students in the form of “teaching points” - specific descriptions, each dealing with a single aspect of technique and recommended exercises for its mastery. In the process of renovating violin study, Suzuki dramatically improved the way the violin is technically mastered.

Sheffield indie giants Arctic Monkeys have posted a new webcast of the band performing live.
The return of Arctic Monkeys was one of 2009’s biggest stories. The Sheffield group are arguably one of the most influential British rock groups of the decade releasing two seismic albums.
Combining kitchen sink realism with indie dancefloor riffs, Arctic Monkeys are one of the biggest bands in the country. Retreating to the United States to work on their third album, the group recruited Josh Homme to handle production duties.
With long term cohort James Ford helping to mix the album in New York the resultant recording was one of Arctic Monkeys most ambitious efforts to date.
Kept under lock and key the new material was released to fans in a series of inventive ways. Recording a special webcast Arctic Monkeys performed in front of giant blues screens, dramatically lit as they blasted through new material.
The performance included five tracks from their new album ‘Humbug’, while the band also found time to blast through a cover of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds classic ode to outlaw behaviour ‘Red Right Hand’.
The studio version of this special cover version appeared on the flipside to the single ‘Crying Lightning’. A huge success the single was only available on vinyl through Cancer Research charity shops.
Going on to become one of the biggest selling physical singles of the year the gesture was well timed, raising countless thousands for the charity.

Calvin Harris has branded the British Phonographic Industry “cunts”, accusing them of causing the removal of his official music videos from YouTube.
The singer/producer was reacting to the removal of the video for his forthcoming single ‘Ready For The Weekend’, which he says was taken down after a “copyright claim” by the trade organisation that represents the UK music industry and was clearly annoyed.
Writing on his Twitter page at Twitter.com/calvinharris, Harris pointed to the fact that although bootlegged videos of the song still remained on the site, his original version had been removed.
He added: “The BPI are the worst organisation to ever walk the earth, and their set-up is shambolic, and their online employees are all massive retards.
“This is unbelievable, and it seems I am completely powerless to do anything. Sony [his parent record label] have done nothing, the BPI have done nothing.”
Joking about innovative ways to sort the problem, Harris continued: “I’m going to drive my car into the big window in the BPI’s offices on my way to the studio this morning (July 23). I’m going to hire a 4×4 for the day so I make more of an impact, and hopefully reach the online monkeys at the back of the office.”

Listening
I gather the harmony which floats on the air
And thrill to the meaning that waits for me there.
From the depths of my heart to the chords of my soul
Finding the sum of four parts can be greater than the whole.
Only one in a million can be a singer like Perry Como or possess the perfect warm voice of a Bing Crosby. There are thousands of singers out there with good voices that stay on pitch who, for some reason of another, never got to sing for an audience other than the occasional stint with the church choir.
Enter the Society For the Preservation and Encouragement of Quartet singing in America, Inc. Quite a mouthful, but it means what it says. Picture yourself, not in front of an audience of thousands, but in the living room of an older couple. Dressed in snappy tuxedos, you mingle with the guests at the lady’s birthday party. As a surprise, her husband has hired a Barbershop Quartet to sing to his wife some of her favorite songs in four part harmony.
A brief introduction is immediately followed by three songs, each of which is avidly accompanied by nodding heads, reminiscent smiles and mouthed words. The chords reverberate wonderfully off the walls with feet tapping while knowing looks from the husband ricochet back and forth, the audience suddenly bursting into wild applause.
The four gentlemen are from totally different walks of life. One owns a computer service company and another is a retired business man. The third member still takes a picture or two as a professional photographer and the fourth member has just started his own consulting company. Each one sings the part most suited to his vocal range. The lead sings the melody since his voice contains the most character. The low range is well covered by (surprise, surprise) by the largest male of the group. Amazingly, the tenor can also sing bass! There is one note left in the four part chord and that is gladly given to the baritone. Once a week they attend a chorus meeting, leaning new songs and furthering their singing techniques. Their efforts at quartet singing require an additional two hours of practice if they are to succeed in front of an audience.
There are not too many hobbies that provide fun and a social night out with some great people. Add to this the instant satisfaction of four part harmony for a great time.Once a year the chorus and quartets present a Barbershop Show to perform for their friends, relatives and the general public. Their non-profit status provide much needed funds for worthy causes around the world. The old songs bring back many wonderful memories and these new performers are creating many more!
Music lovers seem to fall into one class of people - nice.

Every student realizes that guitar practice is important if they wish to become a better musician. Even so, many have trouble establishing a regular practice routine. Other
responsibilities have a way of squeezing them into a work-a-holic lifestyle, leaving little room left for personal pursuits. Even teens and children are over-stretched these days with school and other extra-curricular activities. So, what’s the secret to creating an effective guitar practicing schedule? The answer: MAKE IT YOUR PRIORITY!
That may sound simple to some and impossible to others, but it is absolutely imperative to becoming a good guitarist. Giving something priority simply means to put it before everything else in order of time and importance. Now, it’s always easier to set priorities when there is a desire to accomplish, or reach a specific end result. So, having a goal in mind when practicing the guitar, will help you to maintain your focus and provide a sense of purpose too.
According to the Scribner-Bantam English Dictionary, the word “Practice” means:
- to work or pursue as a profession
- to perform often in order to learn
- to teach by frequent repetition; drill
In order to make your guitar practice a priority, try thinking of it as you would your job or school work. By this, I don’t mean it should be a drudgery, but an important necessity.
Schedule a time each day to practice your guitar, and stick to it. Be firm in your decision. Mark it in your appointment book, or on your calandar. You will begin to notice an improvement in your overall ability when you practice the guitar on a regular basis. There will be times when you seem to leap forward, and other times when you don’t seem to be getting anywhere. But understand that the guitar is one of the most difficult instruments to become really proficient on, so you will need to guard against discouragement. I have a friend who plays piano, cello and violin. She decided to take up classical guitar and
confessed that it was the most difficult instrument she had ever tried to learn. So, you may want to keep notes on your progress for personal encouragement as well as an incentive to
persevere.
Commitment and determination are two of the most important keys to success in any pursuit. Talent and natural ability are a definite plus, but many talented guitar students lack discipline. In order to succeed, you must learn to cultivate and nurture your natural abilities through regular guitar practice. Skill is developed by continually honing, experimenting and perfecting your gift. Don’t just take it for granted, be willing to work hard. All great guitarists have this one thing in common- they made guitar pracitice a priority! So, get yourself started in the same direction by keeping these things in mind…
1. Make your guitar practice a priority
2. Establish a specific time of day to practice
3. Make a commitment to practicing regularly
4. Set short term and long term goals (make a note when reached)
5. Persevere through difficulty
6. Be determined to succeed
Above all else, enjoy playing the guitar and learning new things- have fun! Think of your guitar practice as an adventure. With so many different guitar styles and techniques, there will always be something else to discover. Life is short, so make some time to do what you love and be happy!
