08/03 How to hold the violin

It is possible to play the violin holding it in a variety of ways. Most players hold the lower bout of the instrument between the left shoulder and the jaw, often assisted by a semi-permanently attached chinrest and detachable shoulder rest. If it is held properly under the chin, the violinist can let go of the instrument with their hands and it will stay there firmly. Other common ways to hold the instrument include the seated Carnatic attitude, with the scroll resting on a foot, or the dancing-master’s “kit” or “pochette” hold, along the forearm, by the lower margin of the rib cage. The chinrest and shoulder rest accessories come in a great variety of styles and shapes, so each individual may find the combination that best suits their build and playing style.

07/27 Entertaining the Kids at a Wedding

Most people like to have a night out to go on a date or go to a wedding, but there are many people that have kids, and are not able to leave them anywhere. I know that I have my won wedding coming up, and I have been trying to decide what to do for people who want to bring kids. I finally decided that the best thing to do for the kids is to have childcare with fun activities. I got a wedding magician to come in and entertain the kids while the adults go to the ceremony and the reception.

07/24 You Can Learn to Play the Blues

I used to only dream about playing the blues like the guitarists I admired so much.  I could listen to Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Johnson, and B.B. King for hours on end.  I had been told that you can’t learn to play the blues; I was told that you have to be able to feel it.  I am really glad I didn’t believe that when I heard that.  I was thinking about taking lessons from an expert when a found blues lessons online.  I bought the DVDs and am now learning to play the blues guitar.  I many never be an expert, but I’m sure having fun.

07/19 The Pictures Of Tattoos Helped Convince Me

I had gone to the tattoo parlor with my brother.   He had been wanting a tattoo for months and had finally worked up the courage to get one.  I was just there to lend moral support.   While he was getting his tattoo I started looking through their books and saw a lot of pictures of tattoos.   Some of them I really liked and then I began to wonder how they would look on me.  I did not get one that day but now I know a place to get one and I have a very good idea about what I would want when the time comes.

07/12 Looking for a pet portraita artist

I think we might have found the ideal pet portrait artist to create a portrait of Melissa, our five year old Shnauzer. It’s been an exhaustive search though. Most pet portrait artists are just great, but few really stand out as having somethingspecial, something that captures more than merely a copy of a photograph. It has been disappointing untill now.

These portraits have that something else, that x-actor I suppose. They leap off the page with life and vitality, and that really does reflect Melissa’s personality for more than a simple posed picture. Now is the time to get it done, too, so that we don’t miss out on losing the chance leading up to Christmas when I expect every pet portrait artist gets really busy.

07/10 2009 Jewelry Trends For Men

This year, the trend for clothing in men is turning to the more subtle and neutral colors like gray. Since the palette (men’s clothing is already a palette for style, just like women) is somber, the jewelry that would be the trend this 2009 is neutral and simple as well. Accessories for men take on a dignified look, which can be worn with work clothes as well as with clothes for nights out with the boys. Necklaces are also fast evolving for men’s jewelry fashion. costume jewelry Before, men chose to wear necklaces that are thin, almost invisible, and are much understated pieces of accessories.

06/25 Cards for Teaching German

Educational is basically the same as the normal game (which just about everybody either already knows how to play, or which can learn in minutes), but adapted to the classroom situation. These adaptations include using cards containing items which are part of the curriculum, or modifying the style of game play to facilitate class discussions.

06/24 My Internet Shortlist for London Wedding Photographers

My mum always said to me to shop around in London if you need to find quality.  Well, I wondered if that would the case for my wedding.  I needed a good way of searching for the best london wedding photographers.  I didn’t have any specific recommendations from friends so I turned to the powerful internet search engines. At first sight it seemed a bit overwhelming with nearly half a million returns.  But actually, I managed to assess about 20 photographers on the first few pages in about 30 minutes.  The great thing about the internet is that you can see photographers’ portfolio galleries very quickly and see what style they are likely to use on your wedding day.  I created a good shortlist in no time.

06/22 Buying a Used Guitar

Who would ever buy a used guitar?  I cannot understand the appeal.  First of all, they cost almost as much as a new guitar, or if they belonged to someone famous, they can cost even more than that. It is like the owner thinks the talent from the previous owner will rub off on them and they will instantly become a famous rock star.  Plus used guitars can warp scratch and ding.  Rock stars would rather break their instruments on stage than sell or donate them.  They have such little regard for their own instruments, why should I have anymore regard for them? I cannot imagine spending that much money for something used.  So maybe its signed and a “collector’s item”.  Really?  What’s the point?  So it can hang on the wall?  You are going to spend that much money for something you will never use?  I guess there is just no accounting for taste.  One person’s trash is another one’s treasure.
