What are the different genres within country music?

March 31st, 2010 admin 5 comments

I’m doing a project on music and I chose country music. I need to know what the different types of genres are in country music. Sorry if the question doesn’t make sense! Thanks!

These are throughout history:
Cajun
Bluegrass
Rockabilly
Honky Tonk
Nashville Sound
Countrypolitan
"alt.country" (the stuff that’s "too country" for modern country radio)
Red Dirt
Country-rock (although, technically, "country" is an adjective for the word "rock")
Western swing
Western
Outlaw
Old-time (usually referring to the fiddle tunes of the 1920s and 30s)
Classic country
Traditional country (usually referring to the vocal acts of the 1920s and 30s)

How do you buy concert tickets really quickly?

March 31st, 2010 admin 1 comment

My mom has tried on 2 different occasions to get tickets online to the Glee Live! concert tour, but she’s been beaten out by other buyers both times (the tickets have sold out within minutes). I’m going to try to get tickets this Saturday morning when they go on sale again; any tips on getting the tickets as quickly as I can? Maybe there’s some pro ticket-scorers out there? Haha ;-)

you have to be on there and ready as soon as the tickets go onsale. they can sell out in a few minutes. try again and if you still cannot get them, try the secondary market for tickets, you will pay more for the tickets, but they probably already have the tickets posted for resale.

What piece of Classical music really lifts you when you are down?

March 31st, 2010 admin 32 comments

Now Classical music can be relaxing, thought provoking or invigorating.

What is the piece of music that really lifts you up when you are down?

For me it is a) Beethoven’s 7th Symphony (especially first movement) b.) Mozart’s Overture to the Magic Flute.

Thoughts?

I’ve got loads…*groan* I love religious music despite being a non believer but there you go..

How come women don’t dig blues music?

March 31st, 2010 admin 9 comments

I regularly go to a blues bar and its always full of blokes. Do women have no soul or do women find it depressing?

because we dont have the blues :) we go out to be happy! ;) seriously, i like blues music but if i go out, i want to dance or be able to talk to friends, blues bar too loud to talk and you cant dance.

What type of audio file is there in commercially bought music CDs…most commonly played in cd players?

What type of audio file is there in commercially bought music CDs…
and
What is the best free program to convert MP3s into an audio file most commonly played in cd players…

CDs are made using a format called Red Book. You can read more at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_(audio_CD_standard)

I use Windows Media Player. There a lots of other programs out there. But Keep in mind that you can burn more songs on to a disc in MP3 format than if you make an audio CD.

How many music artists are there in the world?

March 29th, 2010 admin 2 comments

im writing a essay for school and as my eye-catcher in the opening paragraph i wanted to say how many music artists there were in the world on in the united states. i have been looking for this on the internet for a while and cant find anything. does anyone know? it doesn’t have to be exact, like if you said over a million or about 500 thousand… anything would be a big help

Well that’s hard to say because not everybody can SING or RAP, and all the REAL musicians have passed away.

What does a music therapist do, and what is their education like?

March 29th, 2010 admin 1 comment

I enjoy music, and I’m thinking of going into healthcare. Someone suggested being a music therapist. Does anyone know what they do, or better yet is anyone a music therapist. What does their education consist of, and what kind of background in music do they need to have. What are some of the working conditions, and what is the salary outlook. Anyone who knows any of this information it would be greatly appreciated.

Excerpt from the below website… which includes working conditions salary etc.

Recreational therapists, also referred to as therapeutic recreation specialists, provide treatment services and recreation activities to individuals with disabilities or illnesses. Using a variety of techniques, including arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings, therapists treat and maintain the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients.

Getting customers to come to my live music club?

March 29th, 2010 admin 1 comment

I have a live music club that is a fabulous venue. Great atmospher, great colors, great live music…all of the customers who come love it. The problem is I do not have enough people coming in. I have a Twitter and Facebook page, do some local advertising. Over half of the people who come to my club do so because they simply walked by. Can anyone give me some ideas of how to get customers to my club? Thank you.

I could build and design a website for you, this would help you advertise far beyond face book and twitter. If your intrested email me at basketball1324@live.com and we can go over the details or if you have uestions still email me. Check my site out and tell me if u like it.
