The Surprising Advantage Singers Have Over Most People

The Surprising Advantage Singers Have Over Most People Suzy S. What makes a good public speaker? Whether you want to improve your communication skills or overcome a fear of speaking, youre already at an advantage if you have a background in singing (or music in general). Read on as San Diego, CA teacher  Carl M.  explains I could go on and on expounding on all the reasons singing lessons are a valuable tool for millions of individuals â€" whether or not a career in music is intended. However, the one that emerges foremost in my mind has very little to do with singing. So why mention it? Having spent most of my life juggling the business world with the artistic side of music, singing, and theatre, I made a unique discovery relating what makes a good public speaker to that of being a singer/musician. For more than 40 years Ive trained singers, and managed international sales and marketing teams in various industries. While there are many singers in this world, they are dwarfed by those who speak (or should I say, blabber). While I generally enjoy listening to a well-trained singer, it became painfully clear to me many years ago that individuals who are charged with speaking to groups are usually ill-prepared to do so in a manner that keeps my attention. This ranges from professional speakers to teachers to clergy in virtually every denomination. Whats missing? Well, there are actually two common threads evident throughout. Most People Arent Directly Taught Speaking Skills First, the function of reading out loud, which can train the ear as effectively as early music instruction, is generally frowned upon during early education. Think about when you were first learning how to read pronouncing each word out loud, then two-word phrases, then sentences, and then paragraphs.  Then as soon as you really felt good about what you were doing, your teacher told you to read silently, and to absorb the meaning internally. If you moved your lips while reading, your teacher likely stopped you. So that was the end of any oral communication vis-a-vis reading. No more practicing reading and listening skills skills that would last a lifetime. The student taking music or singing lessons has a distinct advantage here, which well discuss next. The Correlations Between Singing and Speaking The second, and certainly the most direct correlation between singing and speaking, is that contained in terms singers learn early on:  tone, rhythm, pausing, dynamics, and phrasing. Tone, as taught to a singer, involves the proper placement of vowel sounds, mouth formation, proper breathing, etc. These same tenets apply to the speaker (but without the need to read music). Rhythm has a very distinct meaning to every musician. However, transferring that technique to speaking is lost on virtually everyone who professes to be a “speaker.” Pauses are quite natural in the music world for dramatic impact. The old adage of “Silence is Golden” actually applies more to a speaker’s performance than it does to that of a singer, as the singer is reading music notation and observing dictated, periodic rests. However, most speakers are either too nervous to notice â€" or they just love the sound of their own voice. Dynamics are simple. Loud vs soft. Again, a singer is trained in this area from very early on, but most speakers have one volume. Wouldn’t it be cool if the speaker observed some variation as well? Phrasing is probably the most difficult concept for both the singer and speaker to understand (and implement). However, it is also the most meaningful. With the proper phrasing, the gut-level meaning of a song comes to life. The same is true when speaking. However, some speakers have a tendency to “punch” words, rather than using proper phrasing. I have been training speakers in the corporate world during the past several years, and the pool from which to draw students is enormous â€" and eventually will have a greater impact upon society and communication in general. However, I find that if a student has a music or singing background, it makes it considerably easier to learn and understand what makes a good public speaker. Over a series of lessons, my students learn what these techniques are, and how to effectively put them to use. Youll be a more interesting and believable public speaker, allowing the audience to fully understand and retain the information youre offering. Isn’t that what we all want?

Once you have the plan ready and have an idea of what your targets are you can start to write and fill in the blanks. Creating more opportunities for yourself in line with the positions that you are applying for.An excellent tip for the writing part of the process is to write down key terms from the job description that match your experience and insert them into your text while you are creating your cover letter. Once you have written the letter, it is essential to make sure that you edit the content to be as precise and powerful as possible.Al so, you should match the tone when you write your cover letter to the style of the company that you will be working for. If the company is formal like a bank, then your covering letter should be formal, but if you are applying for a casual company like a cool tech startup where people dress casually and are more relaxed, then your cover letter should match that tone.There is no correct style of writing, but your covering letter should represent you and your experience entirely.Your English Level And Writing Your Cover LetterAlthough it is important to make sure that you have no mistakes and are well understood in your cover letter it is also important to make sure that the cover letter is representative of you and who you are. Essentially if you don't have the best English, your letter shouldn't indicate that your English is perfect because when you are interviewed, they will find out any issues that you are trying to hide.So finding the balance of who you are and what passes for a great covering letter is not easy but it is essential for you to do to ensure that you are authentic in your application. Remember that in most cases the covering letter is the first part of the application and that you will have a face to face interview with the recruiter. In the interview, you will be expected to be the same person that was presented in the covering letter and CV.But if you find that in English while speaking you make lots of mistakes. It doesn't mean that you should translate those mistakes into your covering letter, but you should not use words that you would not usually use, and you should, of course, try to correct any spelling mistake and grammar while being authentic to your actual level of English.A tip for doing this is especially if your English is not the best is to highlight your English level on your CV and mention that you are in the progress of learning and improving. Employers often like when people are engaged in personal development, and this can really help you if you don't have the best English but plan to study to improve over time.While writing a cover letter can be daunting it’s not the same as writing an essay. Letters are short and you have to remember that the reason for writing it does not end with the writing, but you have to send it off in the hope that it can persuade an employer to interview you and hire you.Formatting For Your Covering LetterThe format for your covering letter is necessary because it is the formatting and visual presentation of the letter that will get the attention of the employer/recruiter.LetterheadAdd some basic personal information here such as your address and contact information.DateDate the letter with the long form date as date formats are not the same worldwide. i.e. use 7th September 2019 not 07/09/19FontsUse a basic clear font when editing your letter, fonts like ‘Arial' are professional and easy to read.Write your cover letter without a plan. Photo Source: UnsplashOther TipsAdd ress the recruiter by name if you know it or by a formal title such as To whom it may concern if you have no direct point of contact.The job Reference should be quoted if they are shown on the job description to help the recruiter know which job you are applying for.Show your interest in the position at the start of the letter with sentences such as I am writing to apply for the position of.Explain why you want to join the company and why you would be good for the company. Sentences such as I know your products very well and I would love to talk to you about how I can help you increase your international presence can be powerful.Explain your ‘relevant' experience and skills, for example, a sentence like my skills are an ideal match for this position.End with letting the recruiter know that you are motivated and available for an interview. With sentences like I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you to talk to you in person. A formal closing such as Sincerely or best regards. Editing your covering letter for grammar and spelling is very important at this point. You should also proofread the letter for mistakes, sentences that are too long or anything that is hard to understand.Remove industry terminology from the covering letter, This is ok in the CV, but the cover letter may be read by an assistant or recruiter that isn't specialised in your industry. If they don't understand what you are saying, then they may not pass your application forward.I hope that this will help you in your approach to writing a professional letter in English and I wish you luck with your application.Learn how to write a dissertation in English.

English Conversation Classes with TED Creativity, Music and Language

English Conversation Classes with TED Creativity, Music and Language Two things I have always been fascinated with are music and language. Ive been writing in some form or another since I was young, studied English at university, and worked as a journalist before teaching. I have also played guitar for about 15 years now, and particularly enjoy improvising music on the guitar with other musicians.In this TED video, Charles Limb, a brain surgeon and musician, talks about scientifically looking at creative genius, by looking at the brains of improvising musicians with scanners, while they are creating.Its a fascinating video, bringing up questions about the relationship between music and language, among other things. It will certainly be a fun and interesting English class! This video can be watched with Spanish, Portuguese and Korean subtitles.Why you should be interested in Charles Limb (from TED.com):Charles Limb has two titles on his official website: Associate Professor, Otolaryngology, Head Neck Surgery, and Faculty, Peabody Conservatory of Music . He combines his two passions to study the way the brain creates and perceives music. Hes a hearing specialist and surgeon at Johns Hopkins who performs cochlear implantations on patients who have lost their hearing. And he plays sax, piano and bass.In search of a better understanding of how the mind perceives complex auditory stimuli such as music, hes been working with Allen Braun to look at the brains of improvising musicians and study what parts of the brain are involved in the kind of deep creativity that happens when a musician is really in the groove.Read more from Dr. Limb on the TED Blog If you think about it from a kind of abstract philosophical level, it’s unusual that acoustic vibrations in the air can make you feel deep emotion, something that can affect your life.Charles Limb in Urbanite Baltimore magazineWatch the video below, and then see if you can answer the questions afterward: What is Charles joke about creativity and surgery?What makes Keith Jarretts concerts unusual?What does off the top of his head mean?Use five adjectives to describe Keith Jarretts music.What question did Charles ask himself about the music?What is the difference between magic and magical?How does the FMRI scanner measure brain activity?What happens in the brain when someone is improvising music?What was the hardest thing for jazz musician Mike Pope about playing music inside the scanner?What was the second experiment with the jazz musicians?What did the second jazz experiment show?What does Charles compare music to?Use 5 adjectives to describe Charles rapping.Will he ever rap again?What happens when rappers improvise?What question does Charles hope to answer some day?Want to take an English Conversation class?English Classes | Cursos Inglés | Aulas Inglês

Tips for Teens Changing your Study Mindset

Tips for Teens Changing your Study Mindset Youve got a big test coming up at the end of the week, and youre dreading it. You know you should start studying now so that youll be well prepared, but whenever you think about studying your mind gets flooded with negative thoughts: Theres so much material to study for this test, where will I even start? What if I cant find my notes? What if my notes arent good enough and they dont make any sense to me now? What if I put all of this time into studying and then fail the test anyway? All of these thoughts can quickly send you into avoidance mode. Before you know it, its the evening before the test and you havent studied at all. Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all dependent on each other. If we want to change the way we behave or act, and the way we feel about the things that we have to do, then we can start by changing the way that we think. So, if you want to develop study habits that will allow you to put your best foot forward, then challenge the negative thoughts that might be getting in your way. There are common negative thought patterns that everyone experiences sometimes. These thoughts are more likely to come up when were faced with something that makes us nervous, stressed, or overwhelmed like studying for a big exam! All or Nothing Thoughts. With these types of thoughts, youre either great at something or terrible at something. You need to do things perfectly, or not at all. When it comes to studying, this kind of thinking can cause you to set an impossibly high standard for yourself. If you think that you need to study perfectly and get a top score on the exam, then youll quickly become overwhelmed and anxious when you think about all of the work you need to do. On top of that, the possibility of failure seems very high since anything less than a perfect grade will be a disappointment. All or Nothing Reframe: Remind yourself that you wont get a top score on every test, and that is okay. No single test is going to make or break your final grade. If you study and prepare for the test then youll have worked hard in order to do your personal best. Turning Small Problems into Catastrophes (Catastrophizing). When people catastrophize they take one small incident and allow it to grow larger and larger in their mind until its been built up to be a complete disaster. For example, if you get one bad grade on a math quiz, you think that this just proves that youre terrible at math. Youll probably fail every quiz and test for the rest of this year. This will show up on your college applications and now there is no way youll ever get into your first-choice school! Catastrophizing Reframe: Remind yourself that this is just one small problem, and that you dont know what it means for the future. Youre not a fortune teller! Try to put the problem out of your mind. Learn from any mistakes that were made, and start fresh today. Should Thoughts. When you have a long list of rigid rules about things you should do in order to study effectively, you set yourself up for guilt and regret when youre not able to follow through. This is especially true when youre lists of shoulds is impossibly long, impossibly challenging, or simply not a good fit for your personality or study style. So, if you thought that you should have started studying on Monday, but you didnt start until Thursday, then youll feel very guilty and defeated before you even sit down to study. Should Reframe: Try not to think about what you should have done and instead think about where you are at right now. Make a plan based on the amount of time that you have available and do your best right now. Then, when youre getting ready to study for another test in the future, think about the lists of rigid shoulds that you have in your mind. Ask yourself: Are they are realistic? Are they a good fit for you? Are they helping you move forward or just making you feel guilty and holding you back? Talk to a teacher or tutor about finding new strategies that will work for you. Challenging these three common negative thought patterns will go a long way in helping you change your study mindset. Youll feel less stressed when its time to start studying, and youll tackle your study plan more effectively. Youll shift from avoidance mode to action mode, and before you know it youll be well on your way to achieving your best on that test! Youve got this!! ABOUT DR.
