Humanoid Robot's Appearance at Yo-Yo Ma Performance to Highlight DSO's Youth Music Programs

DETROIT, U.S.A., April 23, 2008– ASIMO will focus attention on the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's (DSO) nationally acclaimed music programs for young people in Detroit by conducting the orchestra as it performs "Impossible Dream" to open a special concert performance with renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma at 8 p.m, Tuesday, May 13. Honda hopes ASIMO's appearance will draw attention to the DSO's music education programs, and particularly the DSO's effort to encourage and support involvement of children in Detroit.

In addition, ASIMO will demonstrate its unique capabilities for hundreds of area school children at 10:45 a.m, May 14 prior to a specially arranged master class in Orchestra Hall, where a select group of music students will receive personal music instruction from Yo-Yo Ma. In attendance will be students from the Detroit School of Arts (DSA), Detroit Renaissance and Cass Technical high schools, as well as from schools across metro Detroit and Windsor, Canada.

ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is designed to help people and will someday assist the elderly and disabled in their homes. But while Honda continues to develop and enhance ASIMO's capabilities, ASIMO is being used today to encourage and inspire young students to consider studies in math and science. The addition of music education to ASIMO's repertoire is a natural extension of these efforts.

As recently announced, Honda is providing the DSO with a gift of more than $1 million to create The Power of Dreams Music Education Fund. With the Detroit Public Schools drastically reducing or eliminating music programs due to financial constraints, many students are denied the opportunity to learn to play instruments, read music, and participate in bands or orchestras. Honda has partnered with the DSO to develop an innovative, multi-faceted program to promote and support music education as well as to promote diversity in the field of classical music. In addition to sponsorship of the YoYo Ma performance and Master's Class for students in May, over the next five years the Honda partnership with DSO will include:
· Launch of a new initiative called The Power of Dreams String Project to provide introductory music education/string training to children in metro-Detroit communities where opportunities are non-existent or unaffordable.
· Establishment of The Power of Dreams Music Scholar program to provide private lessons to aspiring students with financial need in the String Project, DSO Civic Ensembles and/or DSA, enabling them to fully develop their musical capabilities.
· Support of DSO Civic Youth Ensemble performances; the DSO's educational partnership activities with the DSA; and the DSO's spring Educational Concert Series for metro area school children in Orchestra Hall at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
· Support of the 2008 Classical Roots Gala which raises funds for programs such as the DSO's African-American Fellowship Program.

As part of this initiative, Honda is working with the DSO to solicit contributions from donors. More information on this initiative, including how to participate, can be found online at http://ww.detroitsymphony.com.

Lagu Terbaik Anugerah Juara Lagu 23

Kepada pelajar-pelajar SSJB yang tak berpeluang menyaksikan AJL 23 yang lalu, (maklumlah tinggal di asrama) kini berpeluang untuk menyaksikan sendiri rakaman persembahan oleh artis-artis yang menjuarai AJL 23.

Siapa sangka kumpulan Meet Uncle Hussien berjaya merangkul gelaran juara sekaligus menyingkirkan finalis favorit , Faizal Tahir. Pasti ramai peminat Faizal Tahir kecewa dengan keputusan ini.



Meet Uncle Hussain (AJL 23 Live)



Video Klip Lagu Untuk mu (Lagu Tema Filem Kami)

Apa pun, kehebatan Lagu Untukmu yang digubah dan liriknya ditulis sendiri oleh ahli kumpulan ini iaitu Taja, Tass dan Lan ini tidak boleh dinafikan. Lagu ini mempunyai kekuatan yang tersendiri. Walaupun mempunyai persembahan yang ringkas tetapi vokal yang dilontarkan oleh vokalisnya cukup mantap. Sebagai juara, Meet Uncle Hussien membawa pulang wang tunai berjumlah RM25 ribu berserta trofi. Lagu ini juga menjuarai kategori Pop Rock yang menawarkan hadiah RM12 ribu berserta trofi.

Pentas AJL 23 juga menyaksikan kemenangan berganda kepada Faizal Tahir. Walaupun gagal meraihkan gelaran Juara Lagu 23, tetapi dia dinobatkan sebagai Vokal Terbaik, Persembahan Terbaik dan Juara Balada. Dengan ketiga-tiga kemenangan ini, Faizal bagaikan menebus kekecewaannya pada Anugerah Juara Lagu 22 lalu apabila tidak berpeluang membawakan lagu Mahakarya Cinta dan Kasih Tercipta kerana digam gara-gara aksi membuka bajunya. Pada malam ini Faizal membawa pulang wang berjumlah RM32 ribu berserta trofi.



Faizal Tahir - Sampai Syurga AJL 23


Faizal Tahir - Coba

Juara Etnik Kreatif pula menjadi milik lagu Persoalan Cinta, dendangan Farawahida, komposer Julfekar dan liriknya ditulis oleh Ku Seman dan Izza Rosley.

AJL 23 menyaksikan pertandingan 14 buah lagu oleh 13 artis-artis popular solo dan berkumpulan. Masing-masing berjaya mempamerkan kehebatan vokal dengan mengalunkan lagu-lagu yang dicipta oleh komposer dan penulis lirik terkenal melalui tiga kategori utama, Etnik Kreatif, Balada, dan Pop Rock.

Berkonsepkan Iluminasi Muzik , AJL 23 malam ini menerapkan sinaran dan keajaiban dalam acara yang gilang-gemilang. Pembukaan acara ini juga cukup menarik dengan persembahan stopping dance bersama nyanyian daripada One Nation Emcee.

Gandingan Ally Iskandar, Faizal Ismail dan Cheryl Samad sebagai pengacara juga tidak menghampakan kerana berjaya menghidupkan suasana. Usik-mengusik yang diselitkan oleh mereka berjaya menggamatkan ruang stadium.

Sebelum kemuncak, acara karpet merah telah diadakan pada jam 7.30 malam yang menyaksikan selebriti tanah air hadir dengan menggayakan busana rekaan pereka-pereka fesyen terkenal. Bagaimanapun acara karpet merah ini hanya boleh disaksikan di laman web www.tv3.com.my dan www.gua.com.my.

Seperti tahun lalu, AJL 23 selain daripada bersiaran langsung di kaca televisyen, penonton dari seluruh dunia juga boleh mengikuti siaran langsung AJL 23 di internet di laman web www,tv3.com.my dan juga di www,gua.com.my. Hot FM, radio rasmi AJL 23 juga menyiarkan rancangan ini secara langsung.

Sebagai tanda prihatin terhadap mangsa-mangsa perang di Gaza Palestin, TV3 turut mengedarkan tabung-tabung Fund For Gaza semasa majlis berprestij ini berlangsung. Sambil berhibur orang ramai yang bersimpati dan ingin menghulurkan bantuan boleh menyalurkan sumbangan ke tabung-tabung yang diletakkan di pintu-pintu masuk Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil.

IntelliScore Ensemble 7.0

IntelliScore Ensemble is the only product in the world that can listen to a musical audio file (CD, WAV,MP3, WMA) comprised of several different instruments and convert it to multiple track MIDI file containing the notes played, broken down by instrument.


Ensembles are a grouping of instruments that perform together to create a single piece of music.

Although intelliScore’s capabilities are revolutionary, to obtain best results you need to tell intelliScore what instruments are present in the original music. If desired, for higher accuracy, you may also specify the pitch range played by each instrument in the musical piece and which stereo channel it’s on. IntelliScore includes 28 ensembles to get you started, plus you can edit these or create your own.

If you use the proper recognition settings, intelliScore Ensemble can assign notes to the correct instrument track about 75% of the time. You can then use the included Anvil Studio or your own MIDI editing tool to clean up the results. Note that if the music contains two or more instruments that are very similar to each other, such as a violin and viola, intelliScore will have a harder time distinguishing between them, just like a human would. Also note that intelliScore does not recognize non-pitched instruments such as percussion; there is currently no product in existence that can.

Prior versions of intelliScore contained a feature known as patch maps. They appear similar to ensembles, in that they both contain a list of instruments, each with its own pitch range and stereo channel. However, the two function very differently behind the scenes. Prior versions of intelliScore could assign each detected note to a MIDI track based on its pitch and position in the stereo image. If a note fell into two or more pitch ranges, the same note would be assigned to multiple tracks. The Ensemble Edition, however, actually listens to the sound of each note and attempts to identify which instrument(s) produced that note.

Convert polyphonic MP3 to MIDI, WAV to MIDI (.mid). Spend less time figuring out the notes
Create notation from your favorite WAV, MP3, WMA, and CD music using intelliScore with the included Anvil StudioTM or other sequencer
Change individual notes, swap instruments, transpose your WAV, MP3, and WMA music, etc.
See the names of chords present in your WAV, MP3, or WMA file
Grab music from a CD and convert to a MIDI (.mid) file. Play it in your MIDI keyboard
Compose MIDI directly in your sequencer by playing your non-MIDI instrument
MIDI-enable any musical instrument. Play your synthesizer simply by singing into intelliScore
Easy to use wizard interface.

System Requirements:
Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98SE with 64M of memory.
The included Hubi’s MIDI Loopback Device requires Windows Me/98SE. (For Windows Vista/XP/2000, use LoopBe1 instead of Hubi.)
Sound card
Speakers or earphone
Mouse or compatible pointing device

Program is full version 100% working and tested.

How To Help Your New Musician Succeed On Their Instrument.


How To Help Your New Musician Succeed On Their Instrument.
As a parent you have always done your best to give your child everything needed to succeed in life. By allowing your child to learn a new instrument and play in the school band you are adding another brick to a strong foundation that will support your child in all aspects of her development. Playing an instrument is not going guarantee that your child will one day be more successful than someone that is not in the school band, but the pride, confidence, and initiative that being a member of a team builds in young people will serve him the rest of his life. In order to ensure that this positive
growth occurs you as a parent need to take the lead and help your child develop good practice habits.

Every parent needs to set up a daily block of time during the afternoon or evening for their new band member to practice on their instrument. This practice time must be given the same weight and importance as would any other piece of homework. If you treat practice time in this manner, your new musician will also see it as important and will eventually work into a routine that will produce steady improvement. Make sure that the area your musician is practicing in is free from distractions. No TV, no radio, no iPods, just your new band student and his or her instrument. A good beginner practice session is twenty to thirty minutes each night. Don't let them count the time it takes to put their instrument together or clean it afterwards. Twenty minutes of practice means twenty minutes of playing time with lips on the instrument!

There are other
things that can negatively impact a new band student. One that comes up more often than I would like is when I hear a student tell me that ?Dad doesn't like it when I practice,? or ?I couldn't practice because my brother can't hear the TV while I'm playing.? On one occasion I actually had a student who was forced to go outside and practice in their barn with the horses IN THE WINTER! These kinds of situations kill any hope a student has of reaching his or her full potential as a musician and as a member of the school band.Do everything in your power to keep the experience or learning the instrument positive and enjoyable when at home.

Eventually the excitement of learning a new instrument will wear off, and this is the time that you as a parent must step in and rekindle the fire. Teachers know that the best possible way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. For a change of pace, why not have your band student teach you how to play a few notes on their instrument? Ask them to teach you how to put it together, how to clean it, how to place the lips on the mouthpiece, how to sit up with good posture and horn position, how to get a good tone, etc. By doing these things you will show your new band student that you are interested in what they are doing and that you are proud of them for working so hard. Being in the school Band is meant to be a positive experience, but that positive experience must continue at home as well for true learning and a love of music to develop.

Strumming Patterns For Guitar


As there are many different picking techniques, and any number of chord inversions, there are different strumming patterns for guitar. A list of strumming patterns is nearly impossible to define, as there are variations from jazz patterns all the way to country strumming patterns (and every style in between) that go well beyond the usual guitar strumming patterns. As many players as there are, you can be assured new strumming guitar techniques, as well as guitar strumming tricks will be invented to challenge the old patterns. Learning guitar chords strumming or just the basics of strumming the guitar could take a few months, but years to master.

Basic strumming patterns is where this all starts. Down strokes or up strokes, it is imperative you keep the rhythm steady (unless of course you want a slower or different strum on your opposing direction). Sometimes within the same stroke you might slow down or speed up, but these are beyond the basic strumming patterns. In fact there are those basic strumming patterns where you don?t even attempt opposing down-strokes and upstrokes, just a nice steady flow with a flick of your wrist in one direction.

No matter what stroke you are trying, what level of skill you have, the motion with guitar and strumming should come from the rotation of your wrist. Overall it is best not to stiffen your wrist stiff when strumming (even picking).

There are some differences in strumming a guitar, based on the type of guitar you play. Strumming patterns for acoustic guitar can often become very percussive; there is a lot of bouncing off the strings. In some ways the acoustic makes guitar strumming tricks easier and the flourishes you manage might seem very showy because of the big sound you can get by moving your wrist fast across the acoustic sound hole.



But at the same time, placement of your hand is very important when trying various strumming patterns for this type of guitar; no matter how you are strumming the guitar you get the best results by playing directly over that sound hole.

Guitar strumming techniques for electric can be different, but basically it is still up to how well you move your wrist?and where you strum. The pick-ups in an electric guitar (or an acoustic with pick-ups) allow you to play at various places over the body of the instrument. Strumming the guitar close to or away from pickups, even choosing to play over one pick-up instead of another alter the sound of even the most basic strumming patterns.

As a magician might claim, it really is ?all in the wrist?. By regulating your speed during guitar strumming, adding some guitar strumming tricks like hammers and pull-off?s, and even actually lifting your hand from the guitar, you can introduce whole new strumming patterns into your playing. The trick really is to keep the motion consistent and your wrist placed correctly (and your pick held tightly (if you are using a pick). The dexterity and speed you will gain in practicing a good steady strum will help you even as much or more so, then the scales you can run off. There are a bunch of good lead players out there, in fact almost everyone who picks up an electric guitar wants to play lead, but how many players do you know even know the most basic country strumming patterns, or how many of us can keep up a consistent, odd timed rhythm through an entire song?

Guitar strumming is a basic of playing the instrument.
