Its Never Too Late! 5 Musicians Who Got a Late Start

Its Never Too Late! 5 Musicians Who Got a Late Start Shanika These days, we hear a lot about music artists who have made a name for themselves starting from a young age pop stars like Christina Aguilera and sibling-duo Donny and Marie Osmond, for example. But don’t worry if you don’t have that kind of early-on experience it’s never too late to start your music career! There are a number of musicians who either did not get into music until later in life or took several years to become famous. Here are five famous musicians who got a late start in music, but have left a mark on the music industry forever: Sheryl Crow Crow started out as a music teacher after graduating from the University of Missouri, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. She continued to pursue her dreams, however, by playing gigs on the weekends and writing jingles for commercials. Crow didnt reach mainstream success until she was 31 years old, when she shot to fame with her single All I Wanna Do. The song helped her win the Grammy award for Best New Artist in 1995. Leonard Cohen Cohen was born in Canada in 1934, and emerged in the music industry at the age of 33. He started as a writer but found it difficult to earn money, and turned to writing folk music full-time. He began writing for other artists, such as Judy Collins, and eventually signed with Columbia Records. His first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, was released in 1967. He played various instruments including guitar, piano and synthesizer. Al Jarreau Jarreau got his start performing jazz in various hot spots throughout Los Angeles. He appeared on various talk shows, including Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin, to promote his career and eventually signed with Warner Brothers Records in 1975. His debut album released when he was 35 years old. Since then, Jarreau has won seven Grammy awards. Tuli Kupferberg Kupferberg was a poet, author and cartoonist, along with being a musician. His music career took off at the age of 40, when he co-founded the Fugs, a funk/punk band. Before that, Kupferberg was well-known for his counter-culture books Beatniks (1961) and 1001 Ways to Beat the Draft (1966). John Ondrasik Ondrasik, also known by his stage name Five for Fighting, is yet another famousmusician that came to fame at a later age. He was born in 1965 in Los Angeles, and studied science and math at UCLA. However, he pursued music in his spare time. After performing at several small venues, Ondrasik was eventually signed by EMI records in 1997. His first album was Message for Albert, but it was his hit single from his second album Superman that brought his name to fame when Ondrasik was 35 years old. There are many other artists who became famous at a later age. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, one of the biggest-selling solo artists in classical music, was 35 when he recorded his first album. Deborah Harry of Blondie recorded her first album at age 31. Opportunities abound for talented musicians these days on reality TV competitions; Susan Boyle, for example, got her break on The X-Factor at age 48. Many people think that someone who is older can’t make it into the music industry, but these artists prove the assumption wrong. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Photo by  Kevin Burkett

Ancient Egypt

King Djoser tasks architect Imhotep to create his funerary monument; his pyramid became the world’s first built stone structure.2181 â€" 2055 BC, the First Intermediate Period: the Old Kingdom collapsed and central leadership dissolved, leading to civil war within the provinces2055 â€" 1786 BC, the Middle Kingdom: peace returns to the land; leaders adopt an aggressive foreign policy agenda that includes diplomatic and trade relations with Syria and Palestine1786 â€" 1567 BC, the Second Intermediary Period: Rival powers attempt to gain control over all of Egypt but fail to consolidate their power1567 â€" 1085 BC, the New Kingdom: Egypt is reunited and power consolidated under the first king of the 18th dynasty. A dramatic shift of religious beliefs ensues.1805 â€" 664 BC, the Third Intermediate Period: massive upheaval in society, politics and culture; a return to local governance.664 â€" 332 BC, the Late Period: Egypt is reunited but becomes a part of the Persian Empire.In 332 BC, Alexander the Great fought the Persians and won control of Egypt. After his death in 323 BC, Egypt was ruled by Macedonian general Ptolemy, who formed his own dynasty by passing leadership to his descendants.Cleopatra VII, the last Ptolemaic ruler, surrendered Egypt to Roman forces in 31 BC, an act that placed Egypt under Roman rule for the next six centur ies.During this era, a burgeoning new religion called Christianity was replacing ancient Roman deities that so closely aligned with Egyptian ones.This new faith spread through the Roman Empire â€" of which Egypt was now a part of, putting that ancient civilization in the crosshairs of Arab invaders, who took over the land in the 7th Century AD and promptly converted the people to Islam.Their doing so eradicated any outward resemblance to ancient Egyptian culture.This timeline is obviously very condensed. It glosses over virtually every aspect of life in Egypt, from the grandiose pharaohs to the laments of the poets and the slaves in the fields to the silent Sphinx â€" the very symbol of Egypt.On the other hand, now that we’ve laid out the epochs, we can easier illustrate which changes were wrought at what time during the long existence of this magnificent civilization.Also discover one of the shortest-lived empires: the IncasBasic Facts About Ancient EgyptThe Nile River Delta was a lush and verdant region with an abundant supply of water; settling along its banks must have seemed like an attractive option to those migrating out of Africa.Much like the people who eventually settled along the Tigris River to build the Mesopotamian civilizations, the earliest Egyptians founded small colonies. They hunted and gathered their food.Once they mastered the cycle of the Nile’s flooding and draining, they were able to plant crops, thus transitioning into an agrarian society.  They cultivated wheat, flax and, most importantly, papyrus, which gave them a means of establishing their written language.As the Nile is quite long, it was both a generous resource and a means of achieving dominance in the region. Ancient Egyptian art reveals that pharaohs were thought of as descended from the gods Image by Oberholster Venita from PixabayThe PharaohsAlthough the period known as Ancient Egypt spanned more than three millennia and was ruled by no fewer than 31 dynasties â€" periods where members of a single family ruled, only a handful of pharaohs were truly remarkable.Khufu commissioned the Great Pyramid at Giza but Djoser was responsible for the first step pyramid. At the time of its building (and still today), it signalled great advances in engineering and architecture.Amenhotep was remarkable for his diplomatic skill; under his rule, Egypt enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity. By contrast, Thutmose III was military-minded to the utmost degree; in fact, he left his stepmother in charge of government affairs, taking over only after she died.You most likely know her name: Hatshepsut. She was the one of only a handful of female rulers in Ancient Egypt.You probably know this name as well : Tutankhamun.Known as ‘The Boy King’, he was not famous for his rule but for his burial â€" the magnificent treasure found intact in spite of a penchant for grave robbing in that area.What is even more remarkable was the fact that he was mummified and buried without his heart or chest wall â€" a practice completely contrary to traditional Egyptian burial.Egyptologists suspect that his death was caused by a hippopotamus bite, citing as proof the physical evidence â€" his missing body parts, as well as a statue he was buried with, that depicts him throwing a spear.Apparently, hunting those great beasts was a common pastime, at least for royals, in Ancient Egypt.Ramses II was perhaps the most ostentatious pharaoh; it is thought that his extravagance nearly drove the monarchy close to bankruptcy.He ruled Egypt for 67 years and reportedly fathered 97 children. He left behind an extensive architectural legacy; some monuments were erected in honour of his greatness while others alread y standing were modified to reflect his power and allegedly divine nature.Ramses the Great, son of Seti I, ultimately declared himself a god. No one argued the point.Akhenaten brought about a revolution in Egyptian religion.  In fact, such a devout was he that he changed his own name from the dynastic Amenhotep to the one we know him by, which means ‘he who is in service to Aten’ - Aten being a sort of über-god that supplanted all of the others. Discover the bloodthirsty Aztec gods of Mesoamerica. Even in death, Ramses the Great proclaimed his magnificence Image by Loretta Rossiter from PixabayTo compound the intricacy of the Egyptian belief system, each region had its own particular deities.When a new family took power - became king, his region’s gods took centre stage. For instance, when the seat of power shifted from Memphis to Thebes, Amun, their principle god became the national chief-god.The most dramatic example of such a religious reversal was when Amenhotep proclaimed Aten to be the only deity. This was the closest that Ancient Egypt ever got to believe in only one god.Atenkhamen’s decision to invoke that obscure aspect of the sun god must not have been a popular one; after his death, all of Egypt reverted to worshipping their entire array of gods.The sun god ranked highest in their pantheon â€" even over local gods. He had many names; the most popular one being Ra or Re.Outranking Ra, Amun-Ra was the supreme deity, comparable to Zeus in Greek mythology. He was ma rried to Mut â€" ‘mother’ in Egyptian, represented in hieroglyphs as a vulture, a cat, a cobra or a cow, depending on the region.Osiris was the god of the afterlife and, curiously enough, vegetation. Anubis, a jackal, is said to help in the afterlife and protect the dead.Horus was the god of vengeance or, alternatively, war, the sky, protection and light.You may wonder why Egyptian gods have such diverse or even contradictory roles.Aspects of life needing a god did not change from region to region or rule to rule. The provenance of the gods did, though, and that lent them new powers and responsibilities.For instance, Horus is said to be the child of Osiris and Isis, which lent him qualities suitable for vengeance and war. Conversely, he is also said to be the product of Zeb and Nut. The latter, being the sky goddess, lends her son qualities that make it possible for him to be of light and sky.Other important gods include Thoth (god of wisdom), Hathor (goddess of motherhood), Sek net (goddess of healing) and Geb (god of earth).Also discover another culture that believes in animism: aboriginal Australians. The ankh featured prominently in Ancient Egypt as a symbol of life Image by Devanath from PixabaySociety in Ancient EgyptThe ancient Egyptians firmly believed in social stratification.Naturally, at the very top of social ranking came the pharaohs, who were believed to be descended from the gods.  Next came the pharaoh’s advisers â€" some of whom were consorts, and then high-ranking government officials.After that came the nobles, lower-ranking government officials, soldiers and scribes.  Finally, at the lowest ranks of society, came merchants and artisans. Under them were ranked workers farmers and slaves.People could improve their lot in life by getting an education â€" either academic or an apprenticeship. If one went the academic route, it would be possible to become a scribe or government official.Otherwise, positions held by the parents would be inherited by the children: farmers’ offspring would be farmers themselves while a trader’s son would himself become a trader in t ime.Discover the Mayan’s rigid social hierarchy.Education in Ancient EgyptSchools in ancient Egypt taught reading and writing, maths, religious instruction and social values.Then as today, people believed that education could open doors to a better life, so the people with the means to do so would send their sons to school.Yes, only sons; daughters were educated at home.Through their mothers’ tutelage, girls too learned to read and perhaps to write but math was probably not a part of the curriculum unless the child belonged to a merchant family.Overall, the focus of girls’ education was more on the domestic arts: cooking and caring for husband and children.Children of peasants and slaves generally did not go to school because there were so few schools and what places might have been open were reserved for wealthy families’ children.Anyway, the poorer classes would not have had the money to spend on education.Gender Roles in Ancient EgyptAncient Egypt was one of the most adva nced civilizations in terms of gender equality.While it is true that men held most of the power and government positions, women enjoyed great financial, legal and civil independence. Women could enter into contracts, buy and sell property and serve on juries.Generally, women did not work outside of the home, or the family fields if she was a farmer’s wife. On the rare occasions that women may have worked outside the home, she generally received compensation equal to that of men.Perhaps most remarkable was the clothing worn by both men and women, and how they adorned themselves.While women wore shifts â€" short, sleeveless dresses, men wore skirts, leaving their upper body bare. This was no doubt a means of beating the heat. Both men and women wore makeup, too.Children, boys or girls, wore nothing at all until they became adolescent. Romantic love was very much a part of life in Ancient Egypt Image by Albert Dezetter from PixabayFor Love or Marriage?We mentioned earlier that the ancient Egyptians were quite romantic; nowhere is that better seen than in the images of Tutankhamun with his young wife who, by all appearances, praised and adored him.Likewise, poetry points to the fact that ancient Egyptians were quite romantic, especially in the papyrus from the New Kingdom era.It is a bit off-putting when one reads ‘My sister is unique, no one can rival her...’ until you realise that, in general, women were referred to as ‘sister’.All older women were called ‘mother’ whether any of them were the writer’s actual mother or not so we must conclude that the sister in question was actually the writer’s wife and his words are a testament to his deep love for her.Nevertheless, in spite of ample evidence that ancient Egypt was rife with romantic love, marriages were arranged for social or family stability rat her than out of any glow of adoration.Legacy of Ancient EgyptBesides the pyramids and tons of sand to dig through to discover artefacts, the legacy left by the Ancient Egyptians is vast.Being surrounded by harsh terrain is one reason that the Egyptians did not suffer many invasions. Their territory was easy to defend, which relieved them of the obligation of constantly fighting off those who would endanger their way of life.Thus protected, they could devote almost all of their time to develop their cities, religion and society. They had time to ponder and create architectural marvels and technological wonders.From the papyrus to the ink to write with; from toothpaste to ox-drawn ploughs: some early Egyptian discoveries are still in use today, although in an updated form.Let’s not gloss over Egyptian writing! Samples of Egyptian hieroglyphs have been dated as far back as the 28th Century BC.Egyptologist Geoffrey Sampson contends that ancient Egyptians got the idea of creating a wri tten language from Mesopotamia because there is some evidence of cultural exchange between the two civilizations but, so far, the theory has not been substantiated.Still, it is important to know that the Egyptian scripts paved the way for the Phoenician alphabet which, in turn, evolved into the Greek and Aramaic writing scripts.Bottom line: the Egyptian script is the root of most scripts being used today.If that were all the claim to fame that ancient Egypt could make, it would still be substantial, wouldn’t it?Now discover other ancient civilizations’ legacies.

Forming Study Groups - Private Tutoring

Forming Study Groups BobbiM Apr 19, 2014 Study groups can be very helpful. In fact, one of the best ways to review is by forming study groups. Some students will form study groups that meet on a weekly basis to talk about and review what went on in class that week. Other students like to use study groups just before an exam as a way of reviewing and perhaps even getting a new or different perspective on what they have learned. Either way, study groups have big advantages if they are done right. Perhaps the biggest advantage of being part of a study group is that it allows you to listen to information on another persons voice, which can provide insights that you may not have considered. In a traditional course, you listen to your professors interpretation of the information during lectures, you read the text for another interpretation, and through these two sources, you come up with your own interpretation or meaning. You have listened, read, and written down material, so you have used several if your senses. All of this interaction should help you gain a greater degree of understanding of the material. It stands to reason, then, that by listening to and interacting with others who are also trying to understand the course information, you would gain a deeper understanding, be able to remember the concepts better, and subsequently do better on the exams. Its important to think about the characteristics of good study groups. Just meeting with people in the same course does not necessarily make a study group. Good study groups have the following characteristics: -Everyone comes prepared. Study groups do not replace studying on your own. Everyone should come to the group prepared to review the information, pose and answer possible test questions, and voice questions about material they dont understand. If the study group members have to spend all their time trying to teach a large portion of the course material to someone who didnt even attempt to learn it on her own, most members will not benefit. -Everyone can talk through a difficult idea with the group. It helps everyone in the group if you choose something that is giving you a bit of trouble or something that you may have some questions about. As you are reviewing your understanding of the concept, others who may understand it better than you should be encouraged to offer additional explanation. Dont shy away from discussing information that you dont know very well; it defeats the purpose of the group. -Members of the study group should be classmates, but not necessarily friends. Everyone knows what can happen when friends get together to study: everything goes fine for the first few minutes, but its easy to get off track. Its much better to have serious students, who all have the goal of doing well, in your study group rather than just recruiting your friends. Thats not to say that studying with friends will never work; its simply harder to study with friends than it is with classmates working toward a common goal. -Meet at a place that is conducive to studying. Campus libraries often have study rooms set aside for just this purpose. Such rooms are generally small and sound proof so that normal conversation an discussion can be carried out with ease. If your library doesnt have study rooms, dorms often have common areas equipped with study rooms. Empty classrooms can also work well if your only alternative is to study in someones room or at someones home or apartment, remind yourself what the purpose of the session is-to review the course material for a test, not to socialize. -Have clear goals and structure. When you initially form a study group, you should have a more specific goal than to get together and study. Most groups meet at regular times. Groups that have a game plan in mind before they come together are generally the most successful. Almost everyone can benefit from belonging to a study group at one time or another, but study groups work particularly well for students who learn better auditorily and through discussion and in courses they find problematic.

After all, this is the video generation moving through schools now and it’s always easier for kids to learn when presented with material in the best format for their learning style. Movies and other programs are used to further discuss the different methodologies that surround several types of subjects such as science and mathematics.

Flash cards This type of teaching tools is actually more preferred by tutors who are teaching younger children and toddlers. You will find that flash cards are effective in teaching the alphabet, types of animals, vegetables and many more. Additionally, it is also a great tool for teaching basic mathematics including subtraction, addition, division and multiplication. These cards can be bought at bookstores or the tutors can do their own version of flash cards. Using flash cards makes the learning process more fun and also is a great way to keep track of where your child may be weak on any given topic. Course-specific tools These types of tools include dissection kits, chemistry lab sheets and many more. There are also items that are useful in teaching anatomy such as skeletons, posters of muscular systems and many more. Globes and maps can be used to teach geography while there are also planetary study tools that can be useful in teaching earth science.
