I’m a huge fan of musicals and after receiving a iTunes card for Christmas I decided I need to download something new! I’m a fan of all sorts of musicals from The Phantom of the Opera to Spring Awakening to Showboat and Side Show! I just need someone to recommend some things that I don’t already have!
Don Correia as Don Lockwood, Peter Slutsker (now Peter Marx) as Cosmo Brown, and Melinda Gilb as Dora Bailey in the Broadway version of Singin’ in the Rain at the Gershwin Theatre, 1985.
My daughter just finished her freshman year as a drama major but would like to transfer to a school with a musical theater program. We know about the obvious choices – Carnegie Melon, NYU – Tisch, Emerson (which is great but does not take transfers) but are interested in hearing about lesser known programs. She is looking to stay on the East Coast.
Thanks!
I just find it funny they made it into musicals, and I’d like to know more about them.
Preferably I’d prefer a site, but general knowledge is fine.
Is it possible to train new borns to hear music,so when they get old enough to play an instrument it will be easier for them to pick up on?
Which sports are the best for kids? What other activities – dance? musical instruments? Scouts? There are so many choices for camps and after-school activites that you can overschedule your kids. Parents please tell us which activities you think are best to raise a happy, healthy, well-rounded kid.
(kids want to do EVERYTHING but not enough time or money to sign up for it all!)
Please be specific and give your source. :] Thanks.
I am an aspiring librettist and wanted to know if any members are composes. I’m looking for someone to collaborate on musicals/rock operas with. Answer, if you’re interested.
Let us begin with Keith Moon. He was born in23rd August 1946 and died on 7th September 1978. He lived a short span of life because of his alcoholism and acute odd behaviour. But even today he is the famous Keith Moon.. Some of his followers also named him as ‘Mad Moon’. He was renowned for his innovativeness and was a dramatic drummer.. In 1964 Keith joined ‘The Who’ band. He was a speed drummer.He invented many styles of drumming.He composed also. He used to play faster and sound, but with authority. He used explosives and fireworks in his stage shows.. He was so eccentric that he has broken many drums and perhaps his past time was to blow up toilets.
Keith Moon did not have any particular Drum Kits.. He has no customized Kits as many other drummers had or have. He either borrowed or hired drum kits to play.He borrowed drum sets to play.He also hired them As a result, he had played with Rogers drum kit, Premier kit, Trixon kit, Lee Kings kit, Dave Clarke Five kit, Singerland kit, Ludwig kit and also Vistalities from Ludwig. Therefore he never stuck to any standardized kit.
Jon Henry Bonham was the drummer of Led Zeppilin. He was applauded for his 20 minute solo performance on his drumkit.~He played a 20 minute solo that made him famous} He was chiefly a Rock Drummer and that too a powerful one. He also died young at the age of 32..
He played three different Ludwig green sparkle set in Lee Zeppilin III and IV. Jon Bonham used 24” and 26” bass drums and his mounted Tom was 12” deep.. At times he played in his bare hands. Jon Bonham has used different types of branded Drum Kits.. He had used, other than from the Ludwig sparkle green sparkle, which was his choice and best sounding kit, The Black Diamond Pearl and Thermo gloss Natural Maple. He also used many other branded drums. He used different category of floor Toms, rack Toms, supraphonic snare and Ludwig Timpani. He started using Paiste 2002 series Cymbals and earlier he was using the Paiste Giant Beat Cymbals. His favorite pedal for Drums Were Ludwig Speed King Pedals.
Neil Peart from a Toronto based band called “RUSH”~Neil Peart from RUSH}. He was basically encouraged by Drummers like Keith Moon and Jon Bonham. He invented new style. He combined Jazz with swing. Pert was a Drummer and like Moon was also a composer of song for their band. He had a complex but sophisticated style as a Drummer.
His kits always give motivation to other Drummers. He had a large drum kit. He played with all the drums.The drum kit he regularly used was The Old Singerland Snare, Remo ‘Legato’ marching Snare, a 13” Ludwig Picolo on the back kit, Tama Gong Bass Drum, Promark drum sticks, Rem heads, LP Cowbells and some wind bells.
Danish-American Drummer Lars Ulrich from Metallica, the heavy metal band. He regularly used Tama drums, Zildjian Cymbals and Remo drum heads. He is seldom seen without his customized kits.~He never played without his own drums}. He also played with Ludwig drums, Grtsch drums and Sambian Cymbals, Calato Regal drum sticks but altered to Eastern Ahead at a later date.
Steve Smith and Phil Rudd played wit sonar drums. In recent times Danny Carey of TOOL and Gavin Harrison are some of the names who play sonar drums.
Drum Kits and Cymbals provide a good range of Drum Sets
My latest little obsession, is Beethovens March for Wind Sextet in B-flat Major! (Two clarinets, two horns, and two bassoons).
