5 Talented Singers You Can Learn From in 2016

5 Talented Singers You Can Learn From in 2016 Suzy S. Ready to make 2016 your best year yet? Many vocalists stood out last year, and looking at their strategies and success stories can be a great source of inspiration especially if you want to be famous someday! Read on as voice teacher Molly R. shares her thoughts   2015 was a stellar year for lots of talented and famous singers. It seemed like you couldnt go anywhere without hearing about Taylor Swift and Adele, just to name two that stand out. Singers like those two generated a lot of buzz, and who wouldn’t want that? As we dive into 2016, its a great time to reflect on your goals as a singer. Do you want to be a famous singer someday? Do you want to start small, and overcome your stage fright? Do you want to learn how to write a song? Whatever your goals may be, theres a lot you can learn from the big artists of the past year. Here are some ways you can incorporate their major successes into your own New Year’s singer resolutions! Artist: Hozier What You Can Learn: Collaborate If you want to become a well-known singer within the music industry, your work is never done. Once you get yourself out there, you need to keep  yourself out there! To get extra buzz, many artists create more performance opportunities by collaborating with other singers which can be especially effective if its unexpected pairing. You can learn a lot from Irish singer Hozier; check out his electrifying Grammy performance with Annie Lennox here: On a smaller scale, you could ask another singer to be your duet partner for karaoke, or perhaps get a small group of singers together and put together a cabaret night! Artist:  Adele What You Can Learn: Know when to rest It’s tempting to say “yes” to everything, especially when you are just starting out. It’s great to be passionate about singing, but remember you’re human! You only get one voice, so be careful with it. Just look at  Adele, the hottest artist of the year: she underwent major vocal surgery a few years ago, yet didnt jump back into performing right away because she wanted to take her time healing. Not only thatâ€" she has also become a proud mom and wanted to put family first! Make it a goal to have balance in your life. Feeling worn out after a run of another musical, even though there’s another one holding auditions for vocalists next week? Ask yourself if you need a break, and really listen to your body. Artist:  Taylor Swift What You Can Learn: Market yourself You may have heard the advice “you gotta have a gimmick!” Thats originally from the musical “Gypsy”, and its often true! Being a talented singer is one thing, but what makes you interesting to your audience? Singers need to be savvy about marketing themselves. Taylor Swift happens to be brilliant at this. We should all look to her as an expert on a variety of things! She has revamped her image completely (country to pop!), she’s always out and about with her huge fan base, and how about that “squad” of hers? Ok, so a lot of that’s pretty hard to do if you’re well not Taylor. But heres what you CAN do: get out there in your community! Offer to sing at fundraisers, nursing homes, and so on. Show that you’re a singer with character who cares about a few causes. And yes, why not build up a “squad” of your own? Make this squad filled with trusted accompanists, like voice teachers, dancers, and other singers. Connecting with a group of like-minded artists is essential for your growth! Artists:  Tori Kelly and Shawn Mendes What You Can Learn: Keep plugging away YouTube is where today’s singer hopes to be noticed. But youll want to have a strategy in mind. Are your videos high quality? Are you posting good content? How often? What are you doing to promote your music videos? How about your audience what are you doing to grow them? Are you cross-promoting across other social media channels, like Twitter and Instagram? These are the important questions to ask. To get inspired, take a look at the success story of Tori Kelly! She was eliminated from American Idol, but took matters into her own hands and built up a huge YouTube following. Shawn Mendes, another great artist to learn from, got his start on Vine and now has a top 10 hit and a recording contract. Of course, youre not restricted to finding an audience online, or with one of those platforms specifically. The key is to keep plugging awayâ€" in any medium! Whether it’s YouTube or a local coffee shop, keep giving your best to your audience. Now put your learning into practice! No matter what your resolution is as a singer, remember to bring your best vocally every time. Look at what other successful and famous singers are doing, and find what you can learn from them. Working with a great voice teacher is also key he or she can help you become a better singer, and may even have insider advice or a network to connect you with. Happy New Year, and happy singing!

Food in the United States Its not all Hamburgers and Hotdogs

Food in the United States Its not all Hamburgers and Hotdogs One of my favorite English lessons to give students is about food. We talk about what they eat in their country, and ask what dishes and cuisine they associate with different countries, including Mexico, Japan and the United States.When I ask what food they associate with the United States, they almost always say hamburgers and hotdogs. Or Mcdonalds, or fast food in general. Ive been trying to convince them that there really is a variety of food here, that its not all hamburgers and hotdogs and fast food, but its been hard for me to pin down just what I would call cuisine from the United States.So, rather than try to explain it with words anymore, Im going to start posting a regular series of photos to show people just what it is we eat in the U.S.Heres two I took with my iPhone in the last few weeks:This is the pastry case at my favorite local coffee shop in Whitefish, Montana. I had the chocolate raspberry bread.Brussels sprouts from the local Farmers Market.

Teach Away Telegram - December 2012

Teach Away Telegram - December 2012 As always, the end of the year has crept up on us. We wish all of our teachers a very happy holiday season and hope you have plans to celebrate the new year (if you’re in a country that does so on January 1st!).In this month’s issue, we’re announcing the launch of our new Application Portal! We’ll also share five New Years Resolutions for teachers and travelers. Finally, our country spotlight for December is Vietnam.  Teach Away News: A Better Way to Apply!Teach Away is excited to announce the launch of our new Application Portal. Applicants will now create a user profile that they can update with career developments in order to be sure their information is always up to date.The enhancements to the new Application Portal ensure that teachers with fully completed profiles will be matched with the best opportunities for their qualifications, experience, and locational preferences. With this new, more comprehensive system, Teach Away reinforces its commitment to providing its ed ucators with the highest level of service.Teachers who already have applications with Teach Away will have the opportunity to update them through the Application Portal. We hope our educators enjoy the new and improved user experience!5 New Year’s Resolutions to Make this YearStarting fresh in a new year is a great goal. Actually doing so, however, is another story. We’ve all triedâ€"and failedâ€"before, possibly because we’ve set resolutions that are impossible or overly vague. The success of a New Year’s resolution depends largely on its size and specifics. Teachers and travelers could consider one of the following resolutions:1. Learn something newThis is a great and attainable resolution, as long as you settle on something specific you’d like to learn. Resolving to learn something new is great for a teacher: we’re used to instructing students, but we sometimes forget what it’s like to be a student!You might want to learn something academicâ€"a new language, or the comprehensive history of a new country (come on, you’ve got a year!). Maybe you’d like to learn something technical, such as how to use Photoshop. Or perhaps you just want to pick up a new hobby, like knitting. Whatever the case, come up with your plan firstâ€"will you enroll in an online course, research through blogs, or buy some books to get you started? Set a goal (“learn to create a basic website”), design the plan (“take an online course”), and go!2. Reach at least one additional student who’s been having troubleWe all want to start the new year as better versions of ourselves. But simply deciding you want to be a better teacher isn’t a clear goal. Instead, resolve to make an extra effort to reach out to students with whom you’ve been having difficulty. Perhaps you find there are a few students who make you lose your patience, or a child who is having difficulty learning to read. Make it your goal to improve this situation in some measurable way. This could m ean making a conscious decision to let go of the small things, or counting to ten before raising your voice, or giving up a free period to provide extra tutoring. Try to make a habit that will last the year.3. Try one new cultural experience each monthIt’s easy to fall into a routine once you’ve grown accustomed to your new home. For many teachers, though, the experience abroad won’t last forever, and it’s important to take advantage of your time overseas while you can! Many teachers fall into the same trap after moving overseas: they have every intent to visit all those museums, restaurants, and festivals, but because they’re no longer in “tourist” mentality, they put it off. Don’t let yourself say, “I really want to check that place out someday.” Check it out now! Learn more about your country, and take advantage of every minute.4. Learn local recipesAgain, it’s important to take advantage of living in a foreign country. Resolve to learn to cook one new local specialty each month, and work that dish into your repertoire (if you don’t have a repertoire, now’s the time to build one!). You’ll be thankful if you move back to your home country and can still enjoy tasty reminders of your time abroad!5. Add something new to your lesson plansIf you’ve been teaching a long time, you might be comfortable with the routine you’ve established in your classes. It’s easy to fall back onto the same activities and projects, and it’s great to find a comfortable rhythm. But don’t let yourself fall into a rut. New activities can energize you as a teacher, making your classes more dynamic. Try out a new game, introduce a different book, or change the way you approach certain concepts. You might be surprised with how the change resonates with your students!If you are a relatively new teacher, identify an area where you’d like to improve your teaching. Perhaps you’re a haphazard lesson planner, or your classes are always running behind sch edule. Pinpoint a specific area where you could improve, think of how you could get better, and resolve to change!Country Spotlight: VietnamDespite the influences from other cultures that are so apparent in Vietnamese architecture and cuisine, the country has an identity all its own. Vietnam is developing rapidly and is leaving behind the legacy of its tragic past, although some remnants remain. The country’s many museums and monuments provide fascinating commentary on the American War, but visitors and residents have ample opportunity to relax. Visit a French-style café in Hanoi, lounge on one of the nation’s many tropical beaches, or simply enjoy a piping hot breakfast of pho from a local stall.Though the whole of Vietnam is located in the tropics and subtropics, the country’s long, narrow shape means that climate can vary greatly from north to south. The south sees little difference between the hot and cold season, while the average temperature in the north varies more wid ely. Though each region comes with its own set of weather complicationsâ€"monsoons, typhoons, or extreme heatâ€"the months of April, May, or October are generally the best bet in terms of hitting pleasant weather throughout the country. Teachers can relax on one of the many tropical beaches, visit the mountains, or explore the villages and floating markets of the complex Mekong Delta.Educators who currently teach English in Vietnam enjoy a low cost of living and a beautiful location. Despite the country’s long history of foreign occupation, foreign visitors are treated warmly. For more information about working in Vietnam, check out the current teaching jobs abroad.

Reasons for the Popularity of Online Tutoring

Reasons for the Popularity of Online Tutoring Though the education system produces many great young talents, it is undeniable that the system is highly demanding and its all about producing a generation of “21st century competencies”. Unfortunately, many students find this to be stressful and because of this competitive nature and restrictive space, education is no longer as enjoyable as it used to be. The bitter truth is that children are compelled to bite off more than they can chew. The kind of education provided is of high quality but the pace and the rigour are too challenging for students in general. Above all this, the academically weaker students may feel like they are lagging behind and a feeling of helplessness will start shrouding them.   Many students seek external help as what is being done in schools seems insufficient; this is probably one of the predominant reasons for the boom in the tuition industry. Tuition teachers in general work tirelessly to guide students in as many ways as possible because they are aware of how education system is evolving and how the corporate landscape is making a huge transition rapidly. To be more specific, online tuition is gaining popularity and significance over the past five years or so, now that everyone owes digital devices and can access internet easily at any time of the day.   There are a few reasons why online tuition has gained popularity and it is an option that many students are looking towards in order to improve their grades.   #1: INTERESTING LESSONS The traditional way of learning as we all know is sitting in a classroom among forty other students and this has become somewhat boring and it is the usual. Students long for more interesting ways of learning and this is what will spark their interest and keep them motivated.   There is often a lack of a conducive environment for interesting and engaging lessons inn general and hence it’s probably the reason why many students underperform; which is not a justification for their capacity and capability. Online learning is certainly much different from that of traditional classroom learning where there is no teacher who is physically present to teach. This encourages independent learning as well and hence it is something that many parents seem to prefer.   #2: RESOURCES Books teach us a lot but when it comes to the online platform, there is easy accessibility and lots of time gets saved since information can be retrieved from the internet very quickly. Outside of class, students watch videos and other online materials which give detailed explanations of abstract concepts which is something like how a teacher would explain during a lecture or a tutor during tuition sessions. With online tuition, tutors on the other end can share lots of online resources related to the topic or concept being taught and this is much more convenient and effective as compared to printing and distributing physical copies. Online quizzes and tests are great ways in which online tutors can gauge student’s understanding as well. #3: A CHANGE There’s a lot to learn and one can never be done with learning. The online learning space creates the opportunity to explore and identify what one’s strengths and weaknesses and learning gaps. One should gain knowledge in different ways and not just by underlining keywords in lecture notes or by blindly completing assessment books or mock papers without truly understanding what the concepts are all about or what questions demand from candidates. The online platform is a good opportunity to widen one’s horizon and take a look beyond textbooks.   #4: PERSONALISED APPROACH Teaching a large group of students, as compared to tutoring one child is at either ends of the spectrum. Tutoring one student requires the tutor to study, analyse and comprehend the student’s learning pace, learning capacity, and the areas of the student’s strengths and weaknesses, etc. All this analysation then translates into a more customised teaching which will help the student to excel easily.   Every student is unique in his or her own way; some students grasp concepts quickly while others lag behind and require extra coaching and visual representations for them to comprehend those same concepts. Through online tuition, tutors can teach accordingly to fulfill their student’s unique learning needs.   #5: CONVENIENCE This can be done from the comfort of one’s own home and this is one of the key reasons why online tuition has gained in prominence. Students are always on a tight schedule running from one commitment to another and there is a lot of travelling time that goes to waste and it causes students to lack rest and sleep. By opting for online tuition, a lot of time and energy can be saved, and the best part it is that most students regard online tuition as equally as effective as private tuition or group tuition. BOTTOM LINE This method teaching has numerous benefits, especially so, since it is beneficial because it adapts to the changing times. Technology is growing in prominence every day and its crucial for the education system to evolve and adapt.

Writing - Thankfully - ALOHA Mind Math

Writing - Thankfully If you can read and write your can learn anything. Students in our writing program learn skills based on grade level. One of our students was published in an Indian publicationdistributed in the United States. Our students write beautifully and Thankfully as demonstrated in the piece that follows written by one of our South Edison, New Jersey ALOHA students. Written by Dhruvi Sarkar, a grade 4 student, entitled Thanksgiving. (unedited from student) Thanksgiving. It has different meanings for different people. For some, it is an extended holiday weekend. For others, a day of thanks that may or may not include church. For many, it is the time when families get together, have fun, play games, and create good memories. Thanksgiving is a day which we look forward to be thankful and grateful for what we have. Everyone, rich or poor, is very lucky to have a life, weather or not they have everything. The First Thanksgiving was the time the pilgrims, Squanto, and the governor, William Bradford had their feast. During the feast which lasted 3 days, they played, feasted and shot guns and arrows. Previously they called Thanksgiving the Green Corn Dance, or the Harvest Festival. At the feast they prayed for what they were thankful for to god as he is the one who gives us everything. We celebrate Thanksgiving in many different ways. We eat many foods, usually with family. We eat turkey, pie, potatoes, and many more. These are things the pilgrims, Squanto, and the governor ate during their feast. Many Americans still continue the tradition of eating these foods, but with some alterations. Thanksgiving is usually the time for family reunions! Many people celebrate Thanksgiving differently. Some eat turkey, and many other delicious items with their family, and friends. Some go out and do some early holiday shopping during the black Friday sale. This year I am planning to go out with my family and watch a movie. After that we will come home for a relaxing family dinner which will be followed by a game which our whole family loves; Wii. Thanksgiving for me means being thankful for my family, friends, belongings, and good home. My caring family is always ready to support me and guide me whenever I need it, and my friends are always ready to turn my frown upside down with a good laugh. We are so fortunate to have a shelter. Just think about all those needy people with no home and not many belongings. In conclusion, this is how Thanksgiving was started and what I am thankful for. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday, it is just a day of giving thanks and appreciating what god has given us. Our award winning students will continue to do great things, reading and Writing Thankfully.
