  1. Master the Notes on the 3rd to the 6th string too

 

As mentioned earlier, notes are very crucial because they are used to construct chords that are played on a progression to bring out a musical sense. The other strings on the Guitar which are the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th strings respectively also have notes. These notes are on different positions of the fretboard. The positioning depends on the string’s thickness and position. Here  I have highlighted the notes found on various strings beginning with the 3rd to the 6th respectively.

 

3rd- G, A

4th- D, E, F

5th- A, B, C

6th- E, F, G

  1. Master the basic open chords, minor seventh and the suspended chords

 

Chords, in my opinion, and understanding of music are various notes played together systematically of progressively. Often, Tri Chords are played on the Guitar. They are what make us have an appreciation for music. The basic open chords of a Guitar are C, C7, D, D7, Dm, E, E7, Em, G, G7, B7, A, A7, and Am. One or two of these chords are very rare to miss when a Guitarist is playing the Guitar. Mastering their positions, and changing through them systematically and quickly is very important to every Guitarist.

Barre Chords are the easiest to play and the hardest to if one gets them wrong. They are often on the 5th and the 6th strings of the Guitar. Like all the other chords, when mastered and played as they should be in a systematic manner, one becomes a Pro at the Guitar. A progression is the systematic playing of chords to bring out a musical sense. To master the art of progression, one has to listen to lots of songs on the radio and the ones played live. The melodic transition of every chord one catches on songs is the progression used on the songs. A keen listener and one who has mastered the positions of all the chords on the Guitar can identify the various types of progressions played on all the songs they hear. Listen and practice.

When I used to be a kid, I liked playing rough games. Besides the rough games I liked playing, I loved running. I was this kid who got home full of sweat. I also got home full of dirt. I was so alive and full of energy. The funniest thing is what those rough games and running did to me. Something, a part of me that cannot change because I have never seen it change. I wasn’t lousy when I was a kid. I was as active as I can imagine and remember. Today I have a healthy weight, I have confidence in myself, I have a better vision and I am a sportsman! Various advantages are related to the involvement of Kids in sports. These advantages have been discussed in the following segment of this article.

 

  1. Healthy Weight

Kids who are more active in sports have a healthy weight. Today in this era so full of junk food, more and more children are becoming obese. From my observation today and what I can remember about most of the kids I grew up with, lousy kids tend to have some extra weight. More scientific data supports this idea. It has been statistically proven that active kids who are playful and into sporting activities have a healthy weight. I was one of those kids, and I am an adult today with a healthy weight.

 

  1. Skills development

Sports require lots of coordination. One has to coordinate the movement of his or her body, communicate with fellow playmates and also work on scoring a goal for example. The coordination of these skills is very essential due to its impact on the development of kids. Kids who are into sports from a young age develop skills in them that are essential at survival.

 

  1. Self-confidence

Confidence especially self-confidence is very important. As much as it does seem like an easy thing to have, confidence is a virtue that is not with many people. There are very many things that one can be able to accomplish in life if he or she has confidence. This could be getting that new deal, making new friends and many other things that can be achieved through confidence. Kids who have active participation in sports have a great sense of self-confidence in them. They are playful, jovial, courageous and have the guts of doing things that can amaze many people.

  1. Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship is a virtue that is learned and put into practice. It is a very important virtue worth having. Great sportsmen have respect, self-control, and discipline. Kids who are active in sports get to learn the rules of the game, they get to respect their coaches and referees. These are very important aspects of life. One thing I cannot fail to mention is this one important virtue in sportsmen. Staying positive! Kids who get involved in sports get this very fine quality.

How to Become a Professional Dancer

Kamata Music, Media, and Sports School is the best fine arts school offering the best dance lessons that any given individual can come across in Nairobi. The dance choreographers at this amazing institution will open a new door of possibilities to anyone who is more than willing to learn the skill of flexing up.

Does dance inspire you? Have you ever watched someone dance and felt envious because of the moves he or she had? Have you ever watched a song on the TV and then imagined yourself on the TV killing the show? If you have ever had all these experiences or one, you were born a dancer! If you still are trying to figure out how you can become a professional dancer, here is something that is meant to help you out.

1. Have an open mind to various career paths

Wait, is this guy saying that dance is a career? Well yes, dance is a very competitive career! Professionalism in the dance career is very difficult and competitive in nature. However, how you perceive this profession and how you set your mind is a determining factor of whom you will become. Nothing is really hard. How you see things is what does matter. Being a professional dancer requires you to be flexible. However, how you think after having attained flexibility is very crucial. Having an open mind and thinking of how you can use dance in different ways is what can make you get there. Just in case you end up being incapable of meeting the physical demands of the dancing profession, don’t feel so down to earth. Even professional dancers have had to take on 2nd careers after not being capable to meet the physical demands of dance!

2. Watch more dance performances

What do you do during your free time? This is another fact that is a determinant of whom you become professionally as a dancer. If you would like to have a career in dance, you need to start doing things that are dance-related. This could include activities such as watching dance performances at dance theatres. There are other areas that you can still be able to watch dance performances besides the dance theatres if you cannot afford to pay for one. This can be watching music videos. Watching dance performances can become very beneficial because you can catch a move or two in the videos and practice on them if you have a partner.

3. Diversify your skills

There are various dance techniques and styles such as Zumba, Salsa, Breakdance, Ballet, Tap, Hip-Hop dance, and Ballroom among many others. Having diversity in your dance abilities is very important! This is where dance choreographers come in handy. You can go to a dance academy, or a fine arts school such as Kamata Music, Media, and Sports School and take up dance lessons. The tutors at our school will take your dance skills to the next level. They will help you flex up, and train you to professional standards.

4. Learn and train other movement forms

Like I mentioned before, dance can really be difficult. This is because it does require an individual to meet its physical demands. For one to be a professional dancer, he or she has to be very flexible and physically fit. Other movement forms such as martial arts, gymnastics, yoga, and various athletic pursuits can be very helpful in the attainment of that physical fitness required to meet the relevant dance physique. Train hard and smile your way into the bank!

These here are just some of the things required to make one a professional dancer. A career in the dance industry is very much probable if you have what it takes to be the person you want to become. Train hard! Catch the moves and set your mind to that goal! You will eventually become that amazing flexible dancer! We are here to help you become a professional dancer. Feel free to come and learn from us!!!

How Music Impacts the Society

Kamata Music and Media School is the best music and media school in Kenya. The school proudly offers the best Music Lessons that one can come across in Nairobi and the entire country. Music is the pillar of ethics in the community. It is the determinant of how people will live today and in the next couple of years. Wonder how? Here is the thing. Many music personalities have influence on the masses. They have a following of people of diverse backgrounds in terms if class, ethnicity, race and among other variables that are used to classify humans.

 

There are famous musicians who even have a crazy following around the world. These musicians have the power to influence what is worn by people, character and many other things that the fans imitate from their favorite music celebrities.This makes them have the ability to shape the world if they want to. Musicians can orchestrate peace where there is none, war, hate, love, enmity, and even enable a politician to have an amazing following. This is the power of music! A brighter tomorrow can be guaranteed if musicians decide to use their music to craft that. However, if you asked me, I’d say that the world does like trash. That is why crap is being done by the people we all lovingly look up to. That is because the few musicians who make conscious music do not survive for long in the industry and if they do, they always at some point deviate from what they do.

Make it in Music in Kenya

Let’s assume that more than 50% of musicians today decided to make music that has positivity in it. The result of this is that the music would be heard by a majority of people who would in turn imitate what they hear from the music. How this happens is something that is yet to be discovered if it has not. Because I am writing about this, the discovery must have been made. Making music that does shape people’s ethics, reasoning, character and even self-esteem can turn out to be the healer humankind has been waiting for. We are always seeking a revolution in one way or the other in terms of work, how we run things and how we can make life better. If musicians decided to make the world a better place, then most definitely, they can. Only a few decades of conscious music can change the world!

If you have passion in music and believe that you can make a move in shaping the world into a better position, then Kamata Music and Media School is the place that you should be thinking of coming to. We will coach you and make you an amazing music personality. All it takes is your willingness to learn. Believe me, there is no other better place to learn music than our music institution. We have a reputation of making people amazing musicians. Ask anybody out there who knows much about music if they know Kamata Music and Media School. The answer you are going to get is very simple. Kamata Music and Media School is the best music school in Kenya!
