How To Write a Song Today 4 Easy Steps

How To Write a Song Today 4 Easy Steps Sign up successful 1. Play chords or a riff. Play chords that you know sound good together. You can use what you know of music theory to help think of possible chords. One of the most common chord progressions is I, IV, V, which would be C, F, G in the key of C. Another approach is to forget about all that theory and just play chords that sound new and good to your ears. This is a great way to make a song sound like your own. 2. Sing or hum over the harmony. Start by singing syllables without words. When Paul McCartney originally wrote “Yesterday,” instead of saying “all my troubles seem so far away,” he sang “Scrambled eggs, oh my darling you’ve got lovely legs.” Likewise, when Stevie Wonder first wrote “Superstition,” instead of singing “writing on the wall,” he sang “wash your face and hands.” If they write lyrics this way, so can you! Then once you have a basic melody, it can be much easier to add lyrics. 3. Repeat steps 1-2 to form a chorus and then a bridge. Here is a general breakdown for what each section of your song should look like: Verse: The verse should tell a story. Use it to describe a scene, an emotion, or something in detail. This section can rhyme but it doesn’t have to. Chorus: The chorus should be very simple and repetitive. Try to make a hook that people can‘t get out of their heads. Here are a few examples of songs with memorable choruses: Beatles All You Need Is Love; Carly Rae Jepsen Call Me Maybe; Eric Clapton Layla Bridge: The bridge is a common addition to a song that keeps the listener engaged by going into new territory. It‘s often used as an instrumental section where solos can occur. Changes in the chords, key, tempo, dynamics, or instrumentation are common. Here are two additional song sections that are commonly used: Pre-Chorus: The pre-chorus is typically a transition between the verse and chorus. Another approach can be to use the pre-chorus in place of a chorus for the first half of a song. This allows you to save the chorus for a big climax toward the end. Intro and Outro: Intros and outros can be instrumentals or feature lyrics that introduce or develop the main idea of the song. 4. Place the song sections in this order: Verse, Chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus This is a very common structure for pop songs. Examples of songs that use this structure are: Otis Redding Dock of the Bay; Incubus Drive; John C. Mellencamp Jack and Diane By playing chords, singing over them, making multiple sections, and finally ordering these sections, you can quickly and easily write a song today! Congratulations! As you continue to write, avoid writer’s block by doing these steps without judging yourself and your abilities. You can do it. Happy songwriting! Learn more: Check out our guide to songwriting!

ACT Prep

Huntington Learning Center Offers Advice for Effective SAT/ACT Prep Its that time of year when many college-bound students are taking or re-taking the SAT and ACT. Co-Founder Eileen Huntingtonof Huntington Learning Center says that the best way for students to prepare for college entrance exams is through plenty of practice. It is true that keeping up with school work inherently helps students acquire the knowledge that they need to perform on college entrance exams, but there is no substitute for regular, thorough studying of the types of questions they will see on these tests, says Huntington. Shesuggests that parents think about the following as they and their teens develop a summer study schedule that will yield positive results: Learn the ins and outs of each exam. Teens should get to know the format and details of the exam they decide to take. Its essential to understand what is expected on the test, the time limit for each section, the number of questions, and other basic information. This can help steer teens toward one exam over the other. Some of the major distinctions that could also impact a test-takers decision between the exams: The ACT has a Science Test that tests critical thinking skills (while the SAT does not). The SAT has one more reading passage than the ACT. The SAT has some math questions that must be answered without the use of a calculator (the ACT allows the use of a calculator for all math questions). Take a diagnostic evaluation. A teens very first step to devising an effective SAT/ACT prep plan should be taking an initial test to determine his or her strengths and weaknesses. Study sessions will be far more effective when teens know exactly what to study and where they need to improve. A full-length diagnostic test gives a baseline so that teens can identify areas to focus on (and measure their progress). Create a schedule. Teens will be more effective in their study approach if they create a schedule with milestones. The schedule should dedicate the appropriate amount of time to each subject and specific section of the exam, targeting weaker areas and considering teens strengths. Certainly, a teens specific test score goals (possibly driven by his or her target college or university) and the gap between the diagnostic test score and goal test score will impact the amount of study time needed. Cover all the elements. Yes, the SAT and ACT require subject-matter knowledgethis should be the foremost area of focus in a teens study plan. However, the best study plan should cover several other areas as well: Practice exams Teens should take at least two full-length, timed practice tests that simulate the actual test environment. Speed work There are a lot of questions on the SAT and ACT to answer in a short timeframe. Its important to work on improving ones speed without sacrificing accuracy. Stress management Theres no getting around the fact that the SAT and ACT can cause teens anxiety because of the impact that the exams can have on their future. Its important that teens learn how to manage any stress and are able to employ relaxation techniques as needed. Plan ahead for a retake. Many teens take the SAT or ACT a few times to attain their best score. Summer before junior year is a good time to prepare for the SAT or ACT. In doing so, keep in mind that many colleges have application deadlines as early as January 1. The SAT is offered seven times per year and includes a summer test in August, and ACT is offered six times per year, with the first test of the school year occurring in September. Its wise to put the best foot forward by adhering to a study plan and schedule because planning ahead for specific test dates is key.

5 Tips for Dealing With Your First Mistake at Work or School

5 Tips for Dealing With Your First Mistake at Work or School via Pexels Don’t make excuses, own up to your mistake: Your whole life you made sure that everything was perfect and the first time you mess up, your head automatically goes to shifting blame to protect that reputation you built up for yourself. Trust me, it’s a lot better to own up to whatever mistake you made than deny what happened. Increase communication about how you will do better: Your managers and co-workers want to hear from you about the things you are doing to try to be better. This way they know that you really are trying to get better and make up for the mistake you made. The more you talk to them and show them how you’re trying to get better, the easier it will be for you to gain their trust back. Gaining trust back is the first step to gaining back your original reputation with them. Don’t dwell on it too long: I know you feel awful about whatever you did, but dwelling on it will affect your performance in the future. People respond to action more than words and once you clean up your actions, they will believe your words. Take some time for yourself: The reason the mistake occurred in the first place is probably because you were stressed out, tired or not paying attention to what you were doing. Taking some time for yourself to reflect and to do nothing will help your mental health. It’s okay to be sad about it at first but you need to move on and work past things. Don’t apologize a million times: The only thing more annoying to your employer than not owning up to your mistake is apologizing a bunch for it. This makes you seem not genuine and that’s something you never want your employer to think. No matter the mistake, it’s not the end of the world. In most situations, if not all, the mistake is not going to be life or death. And if you end up getting fired, there is always another job out there for you.

ACT Vocabulary What Do You Really Need To Know

ACT Vocabulary What Do You Really Need To Know If, for you, being tested on vocabulary means answering the exact definition of a word, then you may not necessarily be familiar with how the ACT chooses to test vocabulary. The ACT knows its fairly straightforward to memorize words and their meanings, so they decide to take it a step further by  testing whether or not you understand how the word is being used and in what specific context. I am a professional in the ACT preparation field and a question we tend to hear from students beginning their test prep journey is how, exactly, the ACT tests vocabulary and what students can do in terms of preparation to succeed in this area. I am going to explain how the ACT tests your understanding of words based on context and how you can prepare yourself to do well! What The ACT Vocabulary Tests You On Context What does being tested on context mean for vocabulary? Being able to understand the context of a word involves analyzing the words around the underlined word and coming to a conclusion of how the words being used. You need to look at the word being questioned and how it relates to the surrounding text. Let’s look at a couple examples where you must use context clues to understand the meaning of a word, should you not know their specific meaning beforehand: I get extremely squeamish when Im in a hospital. I count the minutes until I can go home. You’ll find that the word squeamish actually has two meanings. And you’d need to look at the context to know which meaning is being used. Have a look at the Merriam Webster’s definition: Squeamish: 1.  a. easily nauseated 1. b. affected with nausea 2.a. excessively fastidious or scrupulous in conduct or belief 2.b. easily offended or disgusted You’ll quickly notice that the word squeamish in this context doesn’t refer to nausea caused by a hospital but rather an excessive feeling towards being in hospitals, fitting more under 2 A’s definition of squeamish. Let’s try out another new word that has only one basic meaning: Sarah is very morose and quiet today. She says when the weather is cloudy, she gets gloomy. Let’s have a look at the Merriam Webster’s definition: Morose: having a sullen and gloomy disposition marked by or expressive of gloom Based on context clues in the two sentences, we can assume that the definition of morose reflects a similar meaning to gloomy, which is how she feels when the weather is cloudy. Moderately Difficult Vocabulary It’s likely you already know what most of the top words tested on the ACT already mean. Take a look some of the top ACT vocab words and you’ll be relieved that you already know what most of them mean. The verbs anticipate, determine, and engage rank in the top 20 for ACT vocabulary and you can likely put any of these words in a sentence without even studying! So if the ACT vocabulary is not that difficult, what makes the questions hard? The ACT will check that you understand which specific meaning is being used for the word. Idioms Although idioms are not necessarily vocabulary words, the ACT will still test whether or not you understand the meaning of a  popular idiom. Idioms can be difficult for ESL students because they don’t necessarily fall under any specific grammar rule, but rather are learned through exposure speaking with natives. There are many resources out there to review idioms, but if learning all these idioms has you you stressed, just keep in mind that very few questions will be idiom-specific, so it may not be worth worth a great deal of your time to perfect this skill if you can immediately improve in other areas instead. How To Practice The best method of practice for the ACT vocabulary is to begin taking ACT Reading and Science practice tests and build up your skills in looking for contextual clues in the passages. As mentioned, once you know the meaning of the vocabulary words, the biggest advantage you have on test day is to be able to know how the word is being used in the sentence!

Tips for Salary Negotiation

Tips for Salary Negotiation Image via Pixabay In the upcoming months, thousands of young twenty-somethings will walk across a college stage to receive a piece of paper that represents a college degree one has worked anywhere from three to five years for. The end goal is to enter the work world and begin working at a really great job, making a really great salary, and paying off those hefty student loans. By working so hard to earn your degree, you are well ahead of those who opted not to go to college and certainly ahead of those who barely made it out of high school and are still working their part-time high school job at your age. However, there is a good chance that most grads will be so happy to even land a great job that they will fail to do one thing: Ask for the money they really want. You may think, “This is my first job, I don’t want to make a bad impression so I will keep my mouth shut and do what they tell me.” Or, “I am so excited to have this offer compared to friend 1 who received a lesser offer and friend 2 who didn’t receive an offer at all.” Or, still, “The company knows what it’s doing; I’m just a new grad with a lot to learn.” (Sure, the company knows what it’s doing and it’s largely looking out for its own best interests). But has any of this ever crossed your mind? A 2015 survey by NerdWallet and Looksharp found that out of almost 8,000 new graduates who entered the working world in a three-year period (2012 and 2015) and 700 employers, only 38 percent of those who responded negotiated with their employers upon receiving a job offer. And nearly 75 percent of employers said they had space to increase their first salary job offers by 5 percent to 10 percent. On top of that, 84 percent of employers said one would not be putting their job at risk if they asked for a negotiation, including entry-level candidates. So, what does this mean for you? Well, it means two things. First, you don’t have to give in to fear of losing a job or job offer. PayScale revealed in its Salary Negotiation Guide that 28 percent of survey respondents felt uncomfortable negotiating their salary, 19 percent didn’t want to be perceived as pushy, and 8 percent feared losing their job. When it comes to dealing with money, things can get awkward and even make you feel anxious at the negotiating table. But, come on, it’s your life. What do you have to lose? According to David Fletcher, career advisor at American University, “Employers work very hard to identify a strong candidate the last thing they are going to do is toss out a top candidate because someone wanted a few thousand dollars more.” Second, companies always have room to pay more. However, they will pay as low a salary as they can for the greatest amount of productivity possible. The company may not willingly offer a pay raise and thus you’ll probably never get one if you don’t ask. The biblical admonition, “ask and ye shall receive” still rings true. If you don’t ask, you won’t get. So, if you’re a recent grad, here are some tips to follow to negotiate your salaries: DO YOUR RESEARCH Throughout the interview process, show that you can do the job, prepare for the role, and act as if the job is already yours. Find out what is expected in the job position, and then train yourself to take on the role. Be knowledgeable and show you are capable. When it comes to negotiation time, the hiring manager will offer the lowest end of the salary stick. You can present an outline of what you will do or have done in the job position and work your way up to the salary you desire. USE YOUR BRAIN You must have a rationale for the pay raise. This can be based on previous experience whether paid or unpaid. It can be based on a  general salary range for the position. It can be based on unique skills you bring to the company. Saying you want a pay raise just because isn’t going to cut it. Don’t come across as demanding or entitled. If they say no the first time, don’t give up. Bring it up again in three months, six months. In between that time, prove yourself. ASK FOR ALTERNATIVE PERKS An increased salary may not always be feasible or possible at the time of your request. Consider asking for additional vacation time, one day a week to work remotely, work schedule flexibility, stock options, a better retirement package, increased health benefits, and so forth. You want to be both respectful and reasonable. An all or nothing approach will hurt you far more in the long run than getting what you want or at least what can be beneficial to you all along the way. KNOW YOUR WORTH This should probably be number one. But enter the process with reasonable expectations and information to support what you’re saying. If you increased sales at Company One by 50 percent in six months, then it is likely you can do it for Company Two. Know what you’re capable of and be humbly firm and confident about it. Don’t go by what your friends say they did to get the job or what they earn or that you have $XX expenses to cover. The goal is to share your skills, experience, ability, education, and how you can make a difference in the overall goal of the company. If you know who you are, know how good you are, and know what you can offer and politely and reasonably express your request for a salary increase, any employer would be willing to work with you and in the end, you may end up getting far more than you asked for.

Creative writing, talent or skill

Creative writing, talent or skill Writing of any sort is not easy but perhaps creative writing is the hardest of all. Creative writing falls into the fiction/non-fiction or poetry categories, but essentially it's purpose is to express thoughts, feelings and emotions, rather than to simply convey information. Perhaps you have noticed that your child has a vivid imagination and loves reading books and inventing his/her own stories? Perhaps you are an adult and have always wanted to learn how to transfer your thoughts and emotions to paper but don't know where to start? Although there are many websites about creative writing, dedicated to both adults and children; a private tutor can provide invaluable help to boost the imagination and master the techniques of creative writing. There has been much a debate on whether creative writing is an inert talent or learned skill. Most experts would agree that it's a bit of both - skill and talent can work together. If English was always your best subject at school and you also enjoyed the lessons, this could be an indication of what you wish to study for a future career. Creative writing is a skill and that's why we have this category in our Arts Crafts website together with many other skills: drama, painting, photography to list a few. Just like other artists, musicians and other creative people, they all follow a similar path - a passion hones through years of learning and practice. True dedication will result in truly wonderful writings.
