Most music teachers consider teaching music to their dear students both their profession and passion. Most of them have the heart for arts and music – making each student love learning music and music as a whole. With this kind of outlook and disposition in teaching music, the inspired and motivated music teacher tends to begin his search for consistent improvement in his teaching strategies as well as his effort for personal and professional growth.

Indeed, there is a wide variety of creative music teachers resources that students can certainly enjoy and get excited working on with. According to studies, the integration of audio and video recording in music education has been an effective technique to catch the attention and grab the interest of the learners. This is believed to be an effective tool in raising the level of interest and motivation among music learners.

Arabic music is not easy to specify, because the rule and principle of which it’s founded have been assumed from peoples non-Arabian like Iran, Byzantines, moors and some others. Yet we can make a differentiation between the original Arabian music, which music was practiced, and practiced nowadays, in it outdated from well earlier the advent of Islam religion and other religion, very recent, made under the Arab domain for the Muslim’s popularity and expansion.

One of the most wonderful forms of self-expression parents can foster within their children is the ability to play music. Happily, it is possible to get started doing so while the baby is still in the womb. Raising a musical child has many advantages – more even than can be accurately calculated. But just for starters, children who retain music into adulthood say it helps them to be happier, more thoughtful and compassionate individuals, and the world certainly needs more of those, I’m sure you will agree.

Gaga just released the third installment of her five-part “You and I” fashion film series. First we met Nymph, the make-up free Gaga with the long flowing blonde hair. The second video features another alter-ego called Bride, the dramatic half-robot woman with the huge floppy hat.

Lady Gaga has emerged from an egg-like “vessel” and a coffin, and last night at Canada’s MuchMusic Video Awards (the kinder, gentler, Canadian VMAs) she performed the first verse of “Born This Way” while encased in a cocoon. This was an inspired choice: It got the birth point across and explored the idea of metamorphosis while simultaneously referencing a quintessential ’80s movie, Cocoon, a film that was released smack-dab in the middle of the decade Gaga draws on most for her latest album.

Susan Boyle became the literally unlikely face of the music industry in 2009 when her gloriously beautiful voice was discovered on the U.K. reality show Britain’s Got Talent. Her debut album I Dreamed a Dream sold a stunning number of copies (more than 700,000 copies its first week), giving the U.S. record biz a major boost at a desperate time. She even gave Taylor Swift a run for her money, booting her from the top of the charts and nearly stealing the year-end sales crown (Swift ended up beating her by a hair). Boyle’s second disc, The Gift, didn’t sell nearly as well as Dream, but considering the intensity of original BoyleMania, someone figures there’s still more money to be made off the Scottish singer. That someone is Michael Harrison, the man producing a traveling musical about Boyle’s life called, you guessed it, I Dreamed a Dream.

Last week in Australia, Lady Gaga hit the stage in a wheelchair, dressed like a mermaid. That may seem like a bizarre, original idea… however, Bette Midler has a character named Delores DeLago who is a mermaid in a wheelchair. Seriously.

Two months after announcing that a movie version of Green Day’sAmerican Idiot musical was in the works, the first casting decision has been announced, and it’s an obvious one. Billie Joe Armstrong will reprise his role of the pusher St. Jimmy when the movie version of the Broadway version of the Grammy-winning album Green Day released seven years ago hits the silver screen, the Hollywood Reporter writes. Getting Armstrong in the film was essential for producers — one of whom is actor Tom Hanks — as ticket sales often plummeted for the Idiot shows that didn’t feature Armstrong as St. Jimmy. The curtain finally went down on the Broadway show in April 2011 after over 400 performances.

On Recovery‘s “Talkin’ 2 Myself,” a jealous Eminem raps about how at the depths of his drug addiction, he considered — but ultimately stopped himself from — provoking Kanye West and Lil Wayne with diss tracks. Eminem didn’t display that kind of restraint when broaching the subject of Lady Gaga, however. “Tell Lady Gaga she can quit her job at the post office/She’s still a male lady,” Eminem rapped in his Bad Meets Evil track “A Kiss.” The first shot fired in a potential beef? Nah. Fuse TV caught up with Slim Shady at Bonnaroo to ask him about his problem with Gaga, but it turns out that Eminem was just joking when he mocked his platinum labelmate.
