Stay Fit With Music

By Gregory Paul

Lets face it. One of the challenges of getting in shape is being consistent. Most of us find working out tedious and frankly it is hard to keep on when what youre doing is hard and repetitive. These days though, people have relied on one thing to make exercise really interesting and fun. While it is difficult to strain our muscles and sweat it out, it could be a very enjoyable activity if you can rock to the beat at the same time.

There are two ways that one can swing and groove to the music. You can bring out the giant speakers and the powerful woofers and have a blast. Unless you have soundproofing or better yet live alone in the wilderness, the neighbors wont be appreciative of that. Best way to have that rush privately would be through the use of head and earpieces. Technology has come a long way; now you can have the luxury of banging to the groove as you work out without disturbing others even when you're with company.

Choosing the right earphones needs a bit of consideration. It may surprise you that there are actually some thought that you need to do in finding the right piece for you. There are regular headphones, water resistant headphones, sweat resistant pieces, and there are some that works at temperatures as low as ten degrees; perfect for winter sports athletes. I've heard that they are now selling sport optimized fit earphones. An answer to my falling earphone problem.

You might want to consider the weight and color of an earphone. Are they the right one for your lifestyle? are they manly, or feminine? Would they go well with your clothes. Do they make you look good? Personally i wouldn't care much but i know of someone who would.

One of the problems I have with my earphones is the cables. I have many pieces because I prefer different lengths on different occasions. Some of them have long cables, and they get caught up with anything all the time. Some are a bit short that when I move it falls off my ear or gets disconnected from my ipod.

As a music lover, audio is very important to me; in fact it is my first consideration. I want to hear strong bass tones and a clear separation of the high and midtones. I'm the type who likes to get carried away by the music so i like the volume really loud.

The extras also give the earpieces an additional appeal. There are those that come with rubber casing and magnetic clasps. I presume those are designed for ease when you get them in a hurry, or maybe if you are wearing gloves. The clips to me are very valuable as I can always keep away the cables when they prove to be meddlesome. It comes very handy when you are engaged in something active like working out.

I have realized that despite the intricacies of finding the right equipment for me, I want them for a very special reason. I want to stay fit. I need music to keep me going, I rely on music in a very big way to keep me working out, to keep me healthy, and to keep me alive. - 18780

The Development of the Trumpet

By Jim Samposzi

The trumpet, an instrument in the woodwind or brass group, is typically made out of brass or bronze and has: a mouthpiece, horn end, a spit valve, and keys. The trumpet is among the instruments that are fully chromatic because trumpets contain three finger controls for tone manipulation. Some can also include a trigger operation to fix bad notes by the use of the main note buttons. This line can be used during play and the change is so smooth that the audience would not notice. The spit valve is there to release any fluid that has built up in the tube just beyond the mouthpiece. The history of this instrument is rather astonishing and these instruments go way back in time; as far in the past as 2000 B.C.

The melody of trumpets are created by the collision, inclusion, or emission of the three main buttons. The sound emulated from this instrument is made from the vibration of the musician's lips on the mouthpiece and then manipulated by the keys before the air makes it to the bell, or end, of the instrument. The mixing of combinations of tones became fundamentally important to the exploration of specific brands of music. Because the buttons can be changed to produce any sound, all kinds of music has been known to include a trumpet sometimes.

Trumpets are pitched specifically for the soprano range of tones. This means, the chromatic range of tones available start with F sharp all the way to C - just above the clef controls air for treble generation. But, the abilities of this instrument are not only in F sharp and C; some musicians can create notes in the G and high C area.

Trumpets, like other instruments, come in various styles and brands. Some are bought more often than others. Also, because of this, they differ widely by cost. In addition, lots of them have other features for pitching that the others do not. Some of the better known kinds of trumpets include:

Piccolo, Brass, Herald, Natural, Slide and Bronze

The trumpet was first created in 2000 B.C. where they were included in religious service. The first styles included objects to create sound, like: a stick of bamboo, or horn from wildlife, or bone. The religious books have many references to the trumpet and trumpets were discovered in the casket of the historic Egyptian King, Tutankhamen. In the 14th century, manufacturers introduced the folded trumpet that is like trumpets of later times where the metal piping is folded and contoured from beginning to end. The earlier trumpets were merely straight and long with a horn on one end and a mouthpiece on the other. When operas were popular, the trumpet was introduced in 1607 during a well-known Opera named Orfeo. Later on in history, trumpets were sounded to send military communications but in time were played in musical productions. In the 19th century, trumpets became a must-have instrument for symphony orchestras. Now, trumpets are mainly seen in jazz groups, military productions, marching groups, and sometimes rock groups. - 18780

Synyster Gates - The Best Modern Guitarist

By Nathan Spencer

Brian Elwin Haner was born on the 7th of July and is better known as Synyster Gates, his stage name; he is the lead guitarist and the backup vocalist of Avenged Sevenfold, an American hard rock band/ heavy metal. He attended the Musicians Institute situated in Hollywood after attending 2 different schools in California. Despite the fact that he did not graduate from this institute, music flowed through his veins. He had taught himself the rudiments of music by reading books and viewing music videos prior to joining Musicians Institute.

This is surprising because his father was guitar player and also a songwriter who had played with Frank Zappa too. After bring in the Institute for approximately six months, Synyster, who prefers to use Schecter guitars and Bogner amps, received a phone call from The Rev of Avenged Sevenfold and was asked if he was willing to join that group as their lead guitarist. Preferring to pursue the career of a studio musician, Synyster forsake his education and joined Avenged Sevenfold.

He had joined this group when he was just 18 years of age and towards the end of the year 1999 Synyster joined this group. This was immediately before the recording of Avenged Sevenfold's 1st album titled `Sounding the Seventh Trumpet'. Synyster featured on the extended play of Avenged Sevenfold, `Warmness of the Soul' and also on the re-release of the first album of that group. At certain moments, Synyster also plays the piano for a few selected songs. The Rev during the course of a drunken drive thought out the name Synyster Gates. Some of the members of his band alleged that Synyster had often thought of himself as too good a player for that type of band, but these thoughts were brushed aside by Synyster.

This famous guitarist, along with The Rev had also played for Pinkly Smooth, a metal band. Both of them wanted to devote all their time behind Avenged Sevenfold and therefore they finally left this group. Synyster Gates has won various awards like the `Young Shredder' award in 2006 and also the Total Guitar Magazine's guitarist of the year award in 2006. He has also featured in guest appearances in music videos like Dirty Little Girl (Burn Halo) and `The River' (Good Charlotte). This famous guitarist is also endorsed by Schecter guitars and there are two different versions of his signature model. - 18780
