A teaching adventure overseas
A teaching adventure overseas By Steven SandersThere are times when travellers are given the opportunity to prolong their stay in a place, be it through volunteering, studying or working, and some opportunities are too good to pass on.While travelling through Bolivia â" the South American country that surprised me the most â" I was three days into exploring the white washed buildings of the countyâs second capital, Sucre, when I came across a job advertisement.There was something about this high altitude city that captivated me, and it made sense to enquire about the job in question â" teaching English to Bolivian teenagers. After struggling through the interview in stuttered Spanish, I was offered a short term contract the next day.I had one week to transform from a backpacker in khakis to a teacher in a shirt and tie, and the spur of the moment experience is something that I will never forget. I stayed in Sucre for an additional four months, and soon realized that the reason these students were struggling to grasp the English language was because they were simply struggling to enjoyit. Steven in BoliviaI showed them a different style of learning: by creating resources â" and visuals â" from scratch, creating a one-hour music lesson each day, and implementing lessons which involved taking my students out into the city on daily photo expeditions, scavenger hunts, and even conversation practise at an English speaking restaurant.I implemented a strict âno Spanishâ rule, but made sure my lessons had my students laughing and smiling, even while they were racking their brains for the correct English phrase or verb.The last day of the school term â" and my last day on the job â" will be a day that will live long in my memory. Communicating in simple English with my students became a reality, and the barrage of gifts and thank you handshakes from parents, made me remember why I had done all this hard work.Teaching abroad is no stroll in the park - but it is days like these which make it all worthwhile.Steven Sanders is a Placement Coordinator at Teach Away. Sanders taught English in Italy and Bolivia.

Reading Makes Life A Lot Easier
Reading Makes Life A Lot Easier Reading makes life a lot easier, don`t you think? I`m certainly quite sure everyone should read at least one book per month. Reading is important not only because if you read it gives you knowledge of many different things but because books can unsettle us, challenge us, move us, open us up to different experiences, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. Personally I prefer reading to the above activities (though perhaps not to listening to music). Do you read a lot? What was the last book you read? Are you looking for a great reading tutor with lots of experience and convenient scheduling? Youâve found what youâre looking for on TutorZ.com!

There are also classes that allow students to take part in a summer internship. Some may find the courses offered at the University of Denver to be a bit more difficult than those offered at a conventional four-year college. However, when they take into account the fact that students are getting an education at an institution that is considered one of the top 10 universities in the country, students often find that this is not such a negative thing.Students who pursue studies at the University of Denver will find that they are taught about many areas of study such as politics, business, and the liberal arts.

A Quick Look at the Chemistry Definition
A Quick Look at the Chemistry DefinitionIn this article, I want to discuss a more general chemistry definition and talk about shielding. There are a few types of shielding:The first is the material that actually absorbs or reflects the radiation from the object. This type of shielding is typically metal or polymer. The second is called chemical or physical shielding.Chemical shielding is formed by reacting one substance with another. In this case, you could use a chemical like chloroform and an alkali like sodium hydroxide. If the chlorine reacts with the sodium hydroxide, it will block out the ultraviolet radiation which has a higher energy than the infrared radiation. In this case, you have just created a solid-like shield that can be used for many other purposes.Magnetic shielding is caused by either conducting magnetic fields or with magnetic fields. So in this case, the material that is used will be the conductor and the object that is being shielded will have the opposite field strength which will prevent any harmful electromagnetic radiation from reaching it.Materials that are used for shielding include ceramics, metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, and other silicates. The most commonly used for shielding are ceramics because they are able to form the strongest shielding barrier and the easiest to produce. It is also very durable and can be molded to almost any shape.Technology is constantly changing and it is important to understand the changes and adjust the technology. One of the most common problems that are commonly caused by shielding is radiation sickness. Some people get nausea, vomiting, or headaches when they are exposed to high levels of radiation. Even a small increase in radiation can cause major health problems if the shielding technology is not modified.So in conclusion, shielding is a relatively new term but is also used widely in the field of science. There are many other forms of shielding and we will look at them in the future articles.
What Does it Mean if a Singer is Classically Trained
What Does it Mean if a Singer is Classically Trained Suzy S. What do you think of when you see the words classical singing? Perhaps opera comes to mind? Here, vocal instructor Molly R. explains what being classically trained really means and how it can be applied to any genre of singing Suppose youâre a rock or pop singer looking for a voice teacher while some teachers may stress that theyre all about rocking or teaching a certain vocal method in their bios, many of them mention being classically trained. With that said, what does it mean to be a classically-trained singer? Will it help you achieve the sound you want? Im a classically-trained singer. I received my degree in vocal performance after studying a healthy diet of art songs, oratorios, and opera arias. Now that Im a voice teacher, I find myself counting the number of my classical singing students on just one hand! The rest of my students sing commercial music styles metal, pop, RB, and others. The bottom line is that in order to sing healthfully, you should use the classical technique. Although, this is a different ballgame from classical STYLE. Classical Technique vs. Classical Style Classical technique is a lot less complicated than it sounds. To learn this technique, a few things must happen. First, we must breathe and support very low on our bodies this is coupled with proper balance and posture. Next, we must sing clear, round vowels with an open throat. These are the principles I was most focused on as a young classical singer, tackling songs from the greats like Puccini, Schubert, Barber, and more. Any singing style or genre could surely benefit from these practices, right? Thats exactly right! Classical style comes from artistic choices you make when you sing. For example, you may choose to be a little breathy in a lower register for a sultry jazz tune, or you may make the sound sassier, brighter, and more âin your faceâ (literally!) if youâre belting a Broadway song. In rock, we donât sing the words out nearly as full as we do in an aria itâs much more conversational. (Editors Note: For more on different styles, check out our Ultimate Guide to Singing Styles and Genres!) Use a Healthy Mix Putting together the classical technique with your preferred style is where itâs at, as far as I am concerned! A healthy singing technique and a rockin style are the best of both worlds. Donât assume that all classically-trained teachers wonât welcome other genres, because many of us do! In fact, rock was my first love. Sharing what I know from the classical world has helped my rocker students feel a lot more confident in their abilities. Theyve mentioned an increase in stamina after long rehearsals and gigs because they breathe and support just like the opera singers do (and those singers have a lot of singing to do talk about vocal athletes!). They realize they need not scream or push to produce a lot of good sound. Classical vocal training also stresses the importance of a good warm-up and being mindful of proper vocal hygiene. Although, I wouldnât suggest sticking to a regimen of solely vocal exercises in lessons. Do spend time doing exercises that cover a variety of vocal skills, including flexibility, diction, breath control, and dynamics. All of these things can and should be applied to your songs, whether theyre classical Mozart arias or metal Judas Priest covers! Apply it to Any Genre I hope these facts will ease your fears about your classically-trained teacher âturning you into an opera singer. Good teachers are respectful of your preferred styles of music and should never consider turning you into someone youre not. Quality voice teachers want the best for all of their students and want to ensure many years of healthy singing. The classical technique can do that for you, regardless of the styles you choose to sing. As an example of a legendary rock star who was classically trained, check out Pat Benatar. Sheâs still rockinâ and sounding great in her sixties because she was taught solid classical technique on Brahms art songs long before she was a Heartbreaker! Classically-Trained Pop and Rock Singers A few pop and rock singers have studied the classical technique, believe it or not! In addition to Pat Benatar, Madonna (after she made it big) worked with a teacher on the â24 Italian Songsâ to prepare for her role in âEvita. Lady Gaga worked on classical technique every day for six months to prepare for her big âSound of Musicâ medley at the Oscars. Contrary to popular belief, metal singer extraordinaire Ronnie James Dio did NOT take vocal lessons, but he did say he was greatly influenced by the singing style of tenor and great singer Mario Lanza! I can safely say that my classical training has improved my singing across every genre Ive attempted. Its the perfect starting point for anyone wanting to learn a healthy and correct singing technique. Apply what youve learned from classical training to any genre you want and youll be unstoppable!
