4 Duets to Sing for Beginners (Plus Tips to Shine!)

4 Duets to Sing for Beginners (Plus Tips to Shine!) Sign up successful 2. (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing (1987) This very romantic upbeat 80s rock song makes you want to dance right from the beginning! Its best for a male bass and a soprano or alto; each singer has his or her own verses and then you sing the chorus together. 3. A Whole New World from Aladdin (1992) This beautiful Disney love ballad by Alan Menken can be sung in either gender, although its best if a tenor and a soprano sing this song. It has beautiful lyrics, and is great to perform at a coffeehouse, karaoke night, or school recital. 4. Take Me or Leave Me from Rent (1996) This fiery love song between two women from Jonathan Larson’s musical Rent is a strong belt song. It shows lots of attitude and emotion, and is very fun to sing! Its definitely a good one to work on those Broadway chops! And as youre practicing these duets to sing, keep the following tips in mind: Pick a song you both like. There are many duets out there, ranging from contemporary RB love songs to country ballads, and showtunes to classical pieces. Pick a song that will showcase both your voices, whether singing male and female, female and female, or male and male. Also, if you feel it is appropriate, don’t be afraid to try a song that was meant for the opposite gender sometimes these are the best duets! -Practice your parts alone, then together. First work hard at learning your vocal part on your own, and then practice and perform with your partner. If both of you are trying to learn your parts at the same time, if you are singing in unison or in harmonies, it’s going to be more difficult. It is best if you are both feeling solid and comfortable on your own parts before putting them together. Also, explore different duet combinations some voices blend more than others, and if the duet is not working for some reason, it could be because your voices are clashing. You and your partner should be working as a team. Add parts together and harmonies. Now that you have practiced both of your parts individually, it’s time to put them together! Do it slowly at first. Take each part section by section, and slow it down if you need to. While you should be listening to your duet partner, try not to let their part distract you. Duets can be sung in different ways, by two people singing different verses, and the same chorus, or completely different lyrics at the same time. Choose a duet that is right for you, and that you are passionate about. Once you have mastered your duet, I encourage you to add some interesting harmonies your audience will love this! I wish you all the best in working with your duet partner, and if you feel like you need more help, schedule a voice lesson with me through at TakeLessons!

Tips and Tools for Students with ADHD

Tips and Tools for Students with ADHD Messy backpack and binder. Disorganized desk. A poor or non-existent organizational system. If your child has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), youve likely dealt with one or more of these issues during the school year. It can be incredibly frustrating to see your child operating in such an inefficient, ineffective manner, but there are ways you can help him or her improve those executive functions and develop strategies to stay organized and on task. Here are several tips and tools that will help your ADHD student: Embrace charts and checklists. A daily assignment chart will help your child keep track of homework and ensure you know whats expected at home. Try a simple sheet with subjects across the top and days of the week in the left-hand column. Your child should record any homework at the end of each subject or class and keep this chart in one central place, such as a binder. At night, this chart should become your childs to-do list, which he or she can keep on hand during homework time and check off as tasks are completed. Checklists posted by the door (or wherever your child gets ready for school) with everything needed for the school day are also helpful visual reminders. Use a day planner. A day planner is a good idea for any student, but especially important for ADHD students who struggle with organization. Help your child learn the basics of referencing the planner frequently and during homework time and using it to plan a schedule for any bigger assignments or projects. Many students use day planners successfully to stay on top of their assignments as well. Whether your childs planner is simple and used for high-level recording of extracurricular reminders, due dates and test dates, or detailed with homework assignments, its a useful daily companion. Master prioritization. Often, children with ADHD lack strong time management skills. A consistent routine helps such children become accustomed to staying on task and setting aside time for both have-tos and want-tos. Before sitting down to do homework, have your child rank each subject in order of priority. Due dates that are furthest away should be lower on the list than assignments due the next day. Then, have him or her estimate how long each assignment might take and set time limits for each. A stopwatch or timer is an invaluable device for helping your child avoid veering off on tasks. Create a system. Help your child develop a system for keeping track of handouts, supplies, notebooks and more. Whether thats a color-coded filing system for each subject, inboxes at home used in conjunction with a binder with subject dividers, or a combination of methods, the key is to embrace the everything in its place mantra. Teach your child to always store similar items in the same location and to develop good habits for organizing the backpack and desk at the end of each homework session. Lastly, your support is critical as your child learns to be an effective student. Keep tabs on homework and project deadlines and keep a family calendar and bulletin board in a central location. Make organization a family practice. Most importantly, remind your child that all his or her efforts will pay off in the long run. With reliable procedures in place and continued practice, your child will learn the routines that help him or her the most.

FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like commercials, cartoons, vlogs, news and music videosâ€"and turns them into personalized language lessons.For language learners, dual-language books are an ideal reading option because theyre less daunting than reading fully in your target language.

Having the English text handy means that you can easily fill in any vocabulary gaps with just a glance. Starting out with a dual-language text is a good stepping stone to reading in your target language without support.While dual-langu age books are often associated with beginning and intermediate students, theyre popular among all levels of language learner. Thats because they offer a quick way to ensure youve understood the meaning of the text.

UK Childminders - Tutor Hunt Blog

UK Childminders Precipitous decline in the number of UK childminders Precipitous decline in the number of UK childmindersSchoolsThe problem of childcare is a perennial one for working parents. Who takes care of the children during the day while they are at work? The situation is somewhat attenuated once the children are old enough to attend nursery - but this won`t be an option until they are three or four years old, and even then their classes may end at 3pm in the afternoon (or even earlier), long before a typical working day concludes. There are facilities available to help - daycare centres or `creches` are places where children can be cared for. Many of these centres can be paid for using government childcare vouchers, and are seen by many working parents as the ideal solution to their childcare concerns. With an abundance of parents however living too far from one of these centres, not to mention the traffic problems every morning, these cr ches don`t offer the ideal solution to their childcare problems. Many parents choose to employ childminders: these are qualified, Ofsted registered professionals, who remain in the home with the children while the parents are away at work. ; Normally booked through an agency, they will be DBS registered, and possess the all the relevant childcare qualifications. Recent information published by Ofsted has however revealed a precipitous drop in the number of registered childminders in the UK. Compared to 6 years ago there are now 16,000 fewer childminders - with an astonishing 1300 leaving the sector since December 2017. The Pre-School Learning Alliance - an educational early-years registered charity, and voluntary sector provider of childcare for young children in England - have expressed their concern over this huge decline. Their Chief Executive Neil Leitch recently said: `It is incredibly concerning to see that the number of childminders has continued to decline. To lose 27% of a workforce over less than six years is simply unacceptable, and it beggars belief that the government has still not seen fit to do anything to tackle this ongoing trend.` `Childminders offer parents a vital source of quality, flexible care and education and the services they provide are absolutely crucial to the sector as a whole, especially at a time when the government is trying to expand the childcare offer in this country.` The reasons for so many childminders leaving their profession is unclear, but it may well be to do with the decline in average disposable income for working families since the financial crisis of 2007. Of course it doesn`t help that the UK has the highest childcare costs in the whole world. According to the OECD, UK parents (and guardians) pay far more than any other country for home childcare and nurseries. With two children (aged two and three) being sent to a childcare centre for 40 hours a week, the fees reach an astonishing 55% of the average income for a couple. When it comes to childcares costs the UK isn`t just the most expensive country in the world, it is way out in the lead, being 15% more expensive than New Zealand, the very next most costly country. For 10 years I worked in the NHS as Lab Technician, and many of my colleagues would leave their children at a cr che - a nursery conveniently located on hospital grounds. I recall thinking how nice and convenient it was for my colleagues, not being obliged to drive to a nursery far away, but having a suitable place near their workplace to leave their children. They were able to pop in for a visit during their breaks, and the cr che stayed open all the way through their work shifts. I then discovered just how much this service cost - I believe it was around around 800 per month, a huge portion of their monthly income. Some of my colleagues told me that when they added up the costs of childcare, travel expenses, and the yearly accreditation fee required to work in the lab, it actually cost them money to come to work. The rapid exodus of childminders will of course only increase demand, and thus increase the price for those choosing to remain in this profession. Neil Leith of the Pre-School Learning Alliance said the government must take steps to address this issue: `We urge the government to finally take some action on this issue - and addressing concerns over excessive paperwork, substantially increasing hourly funding rates and, crucially, removing unfair rules preventing childminders from claiming funding for related children would be a good start.` Ofsted researchers said that those childminders who have left the profession during the timeframe of the study (December 2017 to March 2018) had been working in the field for around nine years on average. The recent the `Labour Force Survey,` conducted by the Office for National Statistics, and the annual `Family Resources Survey,` carried out by the Department for Education suggests that the deficient childcare system is preventing 450,000 mothers with children under the age of five either finding work, or increasing their working hours. The two reports suggest that working mothers may be missing out on 3,400 to 11,400 a year. Extrapolated to the whole of the UK this could mean that UK mothers are potentially losing as much as 1.2 billion per year. 20 months ago0Add a Comment

Traveling 101 Surviving long haul flights

Traveling 101 Surviving long haul flights If someone told you that they enjoyed long haul flights, you’d probably do a double-take. That’s because there’s nothing much to enjoy about being on a plane for 10+ hours. It’s tough to stretch out your legs and get comfortable enough to sleep, the food isn’t anything to write home about, and you can’t account for who you’ll be sitting next to. But for teachers heading to teach overseas this New Year, we’ve compiled a list of ways to make long haul flights a little more bearable. A good seat should be your top priority. If you’re on a 10+ hour flight, it’s likely that you’re going to need to use the washroom at least once, so a good seat means an aisle seat. Believe us, the novelty of looking out the window and seeing the ocean will wear off just as soon as you have to ask your neighbor to move for a second time. Even better than just an average aisle seat, though, is an aisle seat with no one beside you. If you’re traveling alone, pick a seat in the window row if there’s a three-seat configuration. Make sure to pick a row where the window seat is already booked. Being crammed between two strangers is no one’s cup of tea. These middle seats are likely to be the last booked, so you might be lucky enough to get an empty seat between you and the person sitting in the window seat. Watch what you eat. A couple of days before you leave, try to make sure you’re eating healthy. You’ll feel pretty uncomfortable sitting on a long flight if you’ve stuffed yourself with junk food. Our bodies don’t digest fatty foods and foods filled with sodium very well on a good day, so trying to digest these kinds of food at 30,000 ft in the air is even tougher. But beyond digestion, we also have to worry about blood circulation while flying. Sitting with very little movement for many hours can affect blood flow which can cause swollen feet -- another uncomfortable in-flight experience. Lean toward healthier choices: packages of nuts, water instead of carbonated drinks or alcohol, and vegetables. Make a move. Sitting for a long time isn’t good for your body. Make sure you take regular breaks to get up and walk around or do some exercise in-flight. CNN even put out an in-flight yoga guide. Give yourself the best chance at some sleep. First and foremost: avoid alcohol. Some travelers make the mistake of using alcohol as a sleep aid, but it’s actually a depressant and can also really dehydrate you. If you’re looking for something to help you sleep, try a more natural alternative like melatonin tablets or valerian tea. If there’s an in-flight comfort package available, invest in it. Otherwise, make your own! Pack a sleep mask, some ear plugs, and even a small blanket if possible. These small things can go a long way when it comes to trying to get some sleep. Pack your own entertainment. This is especially crucial when in-flight movies are pre-picked and shown to all passengers. It’s good to have some distractions that will keep you happy. Bring your favourite book or magazine, stock your iTunes library with a couple of movies or a TV series you’ve been meaning to watch, bring a journal and list all the places you’d like to visit once you arrive -- just think ahead about what you’ll do if the in-flight movies are a drag. We know that long flights are no one’s favorite, but if you follow these tips, you can minimize some of the travel stress you’ll experience. Especially if you’re heading to work within the first few days of landing, you’ll want to make sure your flight is the best that it can be. What have you done in the past to make long haul flights more bearable? Share with us below in the comments!

7 Perks of Working in Retail

7 Perks of Working in Retail Image via Pexels.com Show some appreciation and encouragement for the people trying to improve your shopping experience. You’re going to make their day a lot better, and they’ll give you better customer service in return. 2.  The hours are usually flexible This is the ideal perk for any college student. Because many sales associates are students, retailers understand that school comes first. Your availability can revolve around your classes and extracurricular activities. You’re also typically able to request off for as many days as needed. Plus, there’s always the option of applying as a seasonal worker, so you’ll only work during holidays and busy seasons when you’re likely to be off from school. If, for whatever reason, you need to make changes to your availability, don’t be afraid to talk to a manager about it. It’s better to be up front and ask for a change rather than constantly calling off. 3.  Your coworkers are like instant best friends When you finally finish up with a difficult transaction and you just want to vent about it, who are the first people you go to? Your coworkers sitting in the breakroom, of course. They understand, because they probably had a few difficult transactions that day, too. They’re the perfect therapists because they just get you. Cleaning up the store at the end of the night isn’t fun when you’re alone. Coworkers make it 10 times more enjoyable because you have someone to chat with while you spend hours trying to make a table look presentable. They’re also perfect for after-work plans. When you’re all done for the day, why not go out together for some staff bonding? There are going to be times where you might not get along. Everyone gets on each other’s nerves under stress. Maybe you don’t really like one of your coworkers at first, but that will change when the two of you bond over how much you dislike cleaning up the denim wall. Image via Pixabay.com 4.  There are new tasks every minute You’re never going to be bored in a day of working retail. Every day will bring new experiences. There’s such a wide range of retail jobs out there, and each one will require different tasks. “Look at these two retail employers:  Kohl’s and  Babies “R” Us. Just think about how many different jobs exist within these two giant employers and digging a little deeper how many tasks and duties make up these individual Kohl’s and Babies “R” Us jobs,” said Snagajob writer Amy White. Let’s say you work in a clothing store. You could be on register, replenishing stock, managing the fitting room, dressing mannequins, or helping customers. Customers are enough to keep you busy they’re constantly coming in with new questions. One minute you might be running around the store looking for the last pair of shorts in size 6. The next minute you might have to help with a long gift return. Retail is going to keep you on your feet for your entire shift, so it’s the perfect job for anyone that likes to stay busy. 5.  You gain an improved sense of patience When registers are slow, when customers don’t make sense, or when you’re waiting for a break, it can be very hard to have patience. Things aren’t always going to go your way and it will be frustrating. Don’t let it ruin your whole shift. There will be rude, impatient customers, but stay calm and don’t be rude back to them. If needed, call a manager and have them handle the situation. It might not seem very fair at times, but the customer’s happiness is a priority if they’re going to shop there again. Image via Unsplash.com Albright College senior Paige Sutton has several years of experience working in retail. “Ive found that its as good as you make it. Like if you really engage some customers you meet some interesting people. Once in a while, you get a really cool customer, but only if you put off the same vibe,” she said. Working in retail will teach you to endure some pretty stressful situations, and this patience is a virtue that will help you in so many ways outside of the workplace. 6.  You learn how to make decisions in a chaotic environment There are 15 people in line at the register, and only two cashiers available to ring. You’re in the middle of checking out a customer when they question a price. It’s a very busy afternoon, so when you call out to the managers and associates on the sales floor, they’re all occupied with helping other people. Do you check the price for yourself, or do you override it to keep the line moving? Working in retail teaches you how to make these kinds of choices every day. The store is going to be packed sometimes, and your managers won’t always be able to answer questions in a pinch. They need you to be independent enough to come up with your own solutions if you can. It’s going to take some time for you to figure out how to handle situations by yourself, so asking for help is definitely okay, but soon enough you’ll be the one giving the answers. 7.  The discount can buy you a new wardrobe Ah, the employee discount. It’s one of the best retail job perks there can be. A customer is going to pay full price for that cute top you’ve had your eye on for days, but you sure won’t. The same goes for buying shoes, groceries, toys whichever retailer you’re working for. If you can, apply for a job where you’ll want to take advantage of the discount. Be careful with it, though.

Solving Solvable Solving Problems Through Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry Practice

Solving Solvable Solving Problems Through Organic Chemistry Stereochemistry PracticeWhen you first become acquainted with the subject of organic chemistry, you may wonder what the purpose of getting involved in stereochemistry practice problems is. Well, if you are at that stage, you will have to get the right attitude and mindset about stereochemistry and this can be done through working out some solvable stereochemistry practice problems.There are a few rules for practicing chemistry. For example, you should never try to solve these problems before you have understood the basics of the subject. In other words, if you try to do this on your own you will never understand how stereochemistry is actually conducted and at best you will end up trying to outsmart your instructor.You should always try to learn the basic concept first before trying to tackle some hard-core problems. This will help you grasp the exact process of working with the molecules in a scientific manner. If you fail to do this, you will end up with wrong conclusions and may end up being wrong with the results. To put it another way, by taking some organic chemistry stereochemistry practice problems, you will be able to prepare yourself for the actual test.When you are practicing the stereochemistry problems, you should try to get a better understanding of the lab procedure. For this, you must ensure that you are well prepared in terms of chemical equipments. Before you try to solve these problems, you should also look up all the available resources to help you understand the process. But before you get the necessary information, it is important that you remember that you should be proficient in the procedures before taking on any stereochemistry practice problems.Once you are confident that you are equipped and ready, you may proceed to attempt to solve the solvable problems. As a guideline, you should try to solve the problem on the right side and you should also keep in mind that your task is not to understand the entire theory behind the structure of the molecule but instead to solve the stereochemistry practice problems. You should be familiar with the theory on the molecular structure and that is the least complicated part of the process. So, you can try to solve the problems on a given side and focus on solving it on the correct side.You should also make a note of the results as you proceed through the procedure and start putting your solutions on the relevant problems. As far as the solvable problems are concerned, it is also important that you take them one at a time. This will help you focus on the solution and eventually you will understand the process better and will get the right solution that you want.Of course, before you embark on this new line of studies, you must first have some basic understanding of chemistry and the basics of the field. Studying this field can be a challenging process but once you have a handle on the concepts, you will be able to work your way to success. So, ensure that you get all the help that you need so that you can tackle the challenges of the field of organic chemistry.
