For over a hundred years, Carnegie Hall has been a status symbol of the highest echelons of musical taste and appreciation.

Carnegie Hall bears the name of , who originally had it built to house the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony Society. Carnegie, who was famous for his philanthropy, served on the boards of both organizations. The great hall opened its doors on May 5, 1891 and featured the famous composer conducting his musical works.

Quite a prestigious beginning for a music hall. Over the years, many famous performers have appeared at Carnegie Hall, such as , Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Yo-Yo Ma and yes, even the Beatles!

Carnegie Hall houses three concert halls and a museum. The Main Hall seats 2,804 people and is five levels. If you don't want to walk up 100+ stairs, you can always take the elevator. This is where all the big concerts are held. The acoustics are marvelous. The late classical violinist, Isaac Stern, once said about the acoustics "It takes what you do and makes it larger than life."

The love that Isaac Stern had for Carnegie Hall is evident as you'll see that the Main Hall is now called the Isaac Stern Auditorium. Believe it or not, Carnegie Hall was slated for demolition in 1960, but due to the efforts of Stern, it was saved and eventually purchased by the City of New York for $5 million.

The other two halls are much smaller and suitable for more intimate performances. Zankel Hall seats 599 and the newer Weil Hall seats 268. You can also visit the Rose Museum, which houses the Carnegie Archives, artifacts and memorabilia of the buildings history and performances.

When you reach the great hall, located at and West 57th Street, you'll immediately admire its Italian Renaissance style architecture. The hall was even designed by a musician, an amateur cellist named William Tuthill.

Just a short walk around the corner is the Steinway Building, which displays some beautifully crafted Steinway pianos, the same type of pianos that are often used by Carnegie Hall performers.

There are over 100 performances a season held at Carnegie Hall. If you have your heart set on attending a concert there, be aware that you'll need to buy your tickets way in advance, because they tend to sell out quickly. If you are lucky enough to attend an event at Carnegie, you'll enjoy some of the world's finest musical performances while admiring its splendor.

Hesitant about consulting a doctor immediately, he performed a self-diagnosis and realized that his condition was due primarily to putting his foot in his mouth with alarming frequency.

Knowing the disposition of his , he determined to remedy his verbal dereliction and signed up for a course at , where he expected to learn How To Win Friends And Influence People.

At his first class, however, he found himself unable to listen calmly to his lecturer and began to dispute with him. Taken aback, the professor explained that his statements were not based on his own beliefs but consisted entirely of the time-honored teachings of Dale Carnegie.

The Vice President was not assuaged, and announced, "You're just not living in the real world. Let me show you how it really is."

With that, he ambled to the blackboard and began to revise the statements the teacher had written there. , a member of our staff, who always accompanies the Vice President when he thinks a story may be in the making, had accompanied him.

Here are selections from his notes on Mr. Cheney's revisions of Carnegie's teachings. For ease of comparison, we present the original Carnegie categories and principles, immediately followed by the Cheney update.

1. Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

Carnegie: Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.

Cheney: Easy fix. Just erase the word "Don't."

Carnegie: Give honest and sincere appreciation.

Cheney: Another easy fix. Let's add back the word "Don't."

2. Ways To Make People Like You

Carnegie: Smile.

Cheney: hardly ever smile; hypocrites do.

Carnegie: Make the other person feel important -- and do it sincerely.

Cheney: What other person? I'm the most important person in the room, even when I'm talking to the President.

3. Win People To Your Way Of Thinking

Carnegie: Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're wrong."

Cheney: Why? Since I'm the Vice President, the other person is always wrong.

Carnegie: Begin in a friendly way.

Cheney: Again, why -- when you're about to tell the person something that's not friendly?

Carnegie: Get the other person saying "yes, yes," immediately.

Cheney: Here we agree.

Carnegie: Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.

Cheney: What for, if he's wrong to begin with?

Carnegie: Throw down a challenge.

Cheney: Now we're talking.

4. Be a Leader: How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment

Carnegie: Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.

Cheney: Mind if I just erase the first syllable of the last word?

Carnegie: Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

Cheney: If I made mistakes, I wouldn't be the Vice President.

Carnegie: Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

Cheney: OK, that's why I'm here. Tell me how. Then maybe I can relax.

The teacher, gasping from his own shortness of breath, uttered, "I have no idea."

"Then, if you don't mind, I'll excuse myself. As a Vice Presidential courtesy, I won't charge for the updates." Tom Attea, creator of http://NewsLaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway and has written comedy for TV. Critics have called his writing ""delightfully funny" and "witty" with "good, genuine laughs." ]]> Do You Want To Sound Like A Pro? http://www.artwoo.com/article/do-you-want-to-sound-like-a-pro http://www.artwoo.com/article/do-you-want-to-sound-like-a-pro#comments Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:20:01 +0000 key signaturecarnegie hallold jokechord changepiano practicepiano studentsclassical pieces http://www.artwoo.com/article/do-you-want-to-sound-like-a-pro
?You've probably heard the : ? "How do you get to ?" asks the inquisitive tourist. ?"Practice, practice, practice!" replies the wise old responder.? ?But wouldn't you much prefer to learn the secret to sounding good just for your own satisfaction and enjoyment? ??That's probably why you take piano lessons=85 However, most forget to pay attention to the very areas that would enable them to sound great!

?Do you do one or more of the following?

1. Ignore the timing by not counting or tapping your foot.

2. Play everything at the same volume.

3. Disregard the and just start playing the piece.

4. Use too much pedal.

5. "Type" or bang the keys and disconnect one note from another.

6. Allow the accompaniment (usually the left hand part) to overpower or drown out the melody.

7. Listen to talk radio instead of spending some of your time listening to music.

If you recognized any of the above habits as things you do, congratulations! ?Now you know why you aren't sounding like a pro yet.

(Parents: Have you noticed these traits in your children who take lessons?)

Obviously, you want to sound good! (And you parents want your kids to sound good, don't you?) ??So instead of treating like a chore, here are seven ways to start you on the way to Carnegie Hall:

1. Pay attention to the timing: count or tap your foot.

2. Notice the dynamics (indications for differences in volume) and follow them.

3. Look at the key signature before you start to play and mark all of the sharps or flats if you need to.

4. Use the pedal with care. (Pedal changes are often marked in , and should be made in songs with each .)

5. Employ correct fingering as you work towards playing smoothly and connected (unless the music asks for staccato: detached playing).

6. Listen for the melody. Can you always hear it while you are playing?

7. Focus on spending some time listening to music every week. (With wonderful tools like iPods, MP3 players and the internet, it's easy to find recorded versions of the pieces that you play as well as music that motivates and inspires you.) Give these suggestions a try. ?Start today. ?You'll be surprised at how much better you sound!

But why should a vacationer spend his time in a Pittsburgh vacation?

Art for Art's Sake

The annual event Three River Arts Festival is an organized event for music lovers and foodies. Are you one?

I can say that a Pittsburgh vacation is not your regular vacation itinerary. Although the city has its normal share of museums, parks, wildlife, restaurants, shopping sections, and both indoor and outdoor activities, the neighborhood and building constructions of the city are already a vacation treat for everyone.

As far as the interior of the banquet hall is concerned, the best thing you can do is to plan everything out so you know where the food will be served and where guests will be setting, and all of the other important details that must be considered when booking a venue and planning the party. You should also make sure that the area is easily accessible and won't be cluttered with tables and chairs so that everyone can walk freely throughout the banquet hall.

You should also make sure that there is a dance floor or a designated area to dance as often times at , the key focus is placed on the food and the dancing so if your venue can accommodate these two aspects, everything else should fall into place. Again, with a banquet hall be sure to book months in advance as often times, the more famous venues (in hotels or other upscale establishments in the area) are booked very early and you do not want to have your wedding approaching without a place to hold it. Hence, I strongly suggest that you book the venue at least three to four months prior to the wedding to insure that you will have a location and set time that will not be assigned to anyone else. Once you complete this task, you can check this item off your to do list which is nice as choosing a location for the wedding and party is often the toughest aspect of .

S. Steel. When criticized by some of the board members for paying this salary to a man who knew nothing about the , Carnegie replied, "We have the greatest steel minds in the world, now we need a man who will help this organization to grow effectively. Life's greatest ability is the ability to influence and motivate others and Charles Schwab was one of the greatest motivators in the world."

This is the concept that made Andrew Carnegie so fantastically successful. He earned $600,000,000 in his lifetime, he gave away $365,000,000 in his benevolent interest, but the key to it was his fantastic ability to motivate people. He had in his Master Mind Organization, some 45 people; then in the smaller groups, some 15 people. The requirement was total unity, no hostility, individual initiative and compensation, and dedication to the common purpose. On one occasion Carnegie said "take from me my millions and my buildings and leave me my people and I'll soon build it back again."

Let me give you some suggestions today, to improve your personality:

1.Find out these things about every person you meet: His name and how he spells it, his family, his business, and his home. He will be happy to tell you about these things, they involve himself; and a man would rather talk about himself than any other subject in the world. You honor him when you him to talk about himself. In addition, you're finding out those things about him that you need to know to cement your fellowship with him.

2.Look for, pick out, and compliment, some good in every person you meet. You may have to look for it in some people, but you always find something good you can comment on. Be sincere and specific about your compliments.

3.Never use . It comes from the root word which means "to bite like a wild dog cuts flesh." Sarcasm tears the very heart and joy and out of an individual. Never use it.

4.Direct questions to the individuals: Learn all you can about each person you meet, keep asking them questions; they will delight in telling you about themselves.

5.Believe and urge other people to achieve their very best in life. Challenge them to achievement, give them something worthy to look up to. Especially this should be practiced by children and youth. They feel so inadequate, they feel so inferior, they haven't had life's achieving experiences yet. So throw down a challenge, give them something high and noble to attempt.

6.Seek and excite the spark of enthusiasm in every person you meet. Enthusiasm is not a loud noise, it is spirit, excitement, conviction, encouragement, belief. Bruce Barton has said, "if you can leave your child but one thing, leave your child enthusiasm."

7.Leave a little hope and happiness in every life you touch. Some=ACone has said "when I met him I was looking down, when I left him I was looking up." There is nothing finer to be said about a person than that kind of influence.

8.Repeat only those things that will honor, bless, and enrich every person you've talked with and about. Gossip always is exaggerated. It always gets worse, and the more people it goes through, the worse it be=ACcomes. Repeat only that which will bless other lives.

Let me assure you that the practice of these rules will make your life a more wonderful, radiant experience, and everyone you contact will be blessed. Why not take one of these rules for a week. Practice it, master it, make it become yours. Then, take another one the next week. You'll find your life will take on deeper meaning as you become a master in motivating people. Mr. Glenn W.

They said New York had culture. New York had a European feel to it. They said Europeans would always like New York because of its cultural element. Having traveled extensively in European cities, spending so much money to do very little, I was thinking to myself that they were flattering themselves. There is no European city that is anything like New York. Yes there are fascinating cities in Europe, old cities with so much culture and history, cities that can not be compared to anywhere else, but with a New York feel? I don't think so.

It is made up of five famous ; Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Queens. If all of these boroughs were cities in their own right, with the exception of Staten Island, they would be among the most densely populated cities in North America. With 18.8 million people in New York City's metropolitan area, the city has no shortage of people. The city is unique and is one of the most exciting places on earth. It is often referred to as the . There is always something to do in New York City. But it is New Yorkers who make the city what it is. And that includes everybody, the original Italian and Jewish immigrants, aspiring actors, angry taxi drivers, people who love New York and even people who hate New York.

There is fascinating architecture to see in New York City. There is fascinating history to learn about. If one wants to visit museums one can go to the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art, the Solomon R. , the Cooper-Hewitt National Museum of Design, the , the International Center of Photography, the Museum of The City of New York, El Museo de Barico, the Goethe House and the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts all located on what is known as museum mile. All of these museums are located on 5th Avenue in between 82 and 105 streets. There are plenty others also all over the city.

Classical concerts can be heard at the Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and Brooklyn Academy of Music. One can even hear the New York Opera for free in Central Park during the summer months of June, July and August. Jazz lovers can enjoy big names at Radio City Music Hall or Madison Square Gardens or attend more intimate concerts in the numerous smaller jazz venues where so many big names started off.

Don't Feed The Band http://www.artwoo.com/article/getting-married-dont-feed-the-band http://www.artwoo.com/article/getting-married-dont-feed-the-band#comments Mon, 06 Nov 2006 22:27:09 +0000 groomsmen giftschilean sea bassfilet mignongifts for himwedding bandmathwedding shop http://www.artwoo.com/article/getting-married-dont-feed-the-band wedding band you've ever heard to play. The question you may or may not have been expecting is coming: andquot;Do you want to feed the band?andquot;

The reception hall will gladly give the band the same treatment as the rest of your guests, for the same price. If they're marketing savvy they might even try to sell you on the idea by knocking off 10%. Don't do it.

It's simple , the average wedding band has 7 members. Multiply that by your cost-per-guest, and if you did the math right you're now looking at the same number I am: A Lot of Money!

Combine this with the fact that the band is probably expecting a tip in addition to their exhorbitant up-front cost and you're looking at even more, except you don't need to feed the band. If you took the amount it would cost to feed them, cut it in half and added it to their tip, they would be quite satisfied to bring sandwiches.

But chances are good they won't have to eat them because most reception halls will feed the band whether you pay or not. Yep! That's right! They may not get to choose between the and the but more often than not they'll get the salad and pasta courses, and maybe even the extra main-course meals that the reception hall made in case someone changed their mind or didn't like how their steak was cooked.

So, for my money (and yours) not feeding the band at your reception is the way to go. The band will be happier, and your wallet will be that much heavier. And in the run up to your wedding, every penny saved wisely is worth cheering over.

This treatise is a Manifestation Manual for money, and while it is true, there is more to manifest than money, we unashamedly adopt as our study, our pursuit, and the education we give to coming up the ranks, the application of the methods of manifestation to money.

Besides, earned money brings actualization. And actualization fosters a life of contribution.

From everything I have seen, gives you the height from which you have the vision to decide how you would like to contribute to the earth and the inhabitants during your brief stay here.

That is a thought of proportions vastly more grand than the daily survival thoughts of the masses of humanity. Need you be reminded?

Fortunately, we are not studying the poor, but the wealthy. Truly, with the things that wealth gives you, you can live even after your death.

Witness the names written here. Names still resounding in the ears of aware people even 100 years after their crowning achievements played out on the stage of the living moment.

Have you heard of the Ford Foundation? How about Carnegie-Mellon University, , The .

This is just a spattering of the worthy fortunes still working in our generation from the acquisition and investment of wealth.

Of course, we acknowledge riches cannot always be measured in money. Money and material things are essential for freedom of body and mind.

There are some who feel the greatest of all riches can be evaluated only in terms of lasting friendships, relationships, sympathy and understanding between business associates, and introspective harmony which brings one peace of mind measurable only in spiritual values.

All who read, understand and apply this philosophy will be better prepared to attract and enjoy these higher estates, which always have been and always will be denied to all except those who are ready for them.

Actualization happens when the most highly achieving, contributing people get the most juice out of life. It is necessary to have an independent income to do that. Manifestation and Actualization are two important ingredients to fulfilling your desires.

Conventional schooling is of no value. It was the Carnegie idea magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune and ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time or resources to investigate how people make big money. It was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling.

He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught, it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.

His experience with Charles M. Schwab, and other young men of Schwabs type, convinced Carnegie that much of that which is taught in the schools is of no value whatsoever in connection with the business of earning a living or accumulating riches.

Indeed, it is true. They just do not teach people how to become outstanding, entrepreneurial contributors to society, or how to design and grow your own business. Instead they focus on norming the population. Whether you like to admit it or not, you know it is true.

When it comes to acquiring financial independence, not just a better job, a higher rung on the rat race, study after study has detected no measurable advantage correlated to education.

Carnegie had arrived at this decision because he had taken into his business one young man after another, many of them with little schooling, and by coaching them in the use of this formula, developed in them rare leadership. Moreover, his coaching made fortunes for everyone of them who followed his instructions.

The practical value of this philosophy in the chapter on Faith, you will read the astounding story of the organization of the giant United States Steel Corporation, as it was conceived and carried out by one of the young men through whom Mr. Carnegie proved that his formula will work for all who are ready for it.

This single application of the secret, Actualization and Manifestation by that young man, Charles M. Schwab, yielded him a huge fortune in both money and opportunity. Roughly speaking, this particular application of the formula was worth 600 million dollars. And that at a time when a million dollars was still a staggering sum.

Today, in the New Millennium, the much heralded Twenty First Century, in the upper middle class neighbourhoods of cities around the world, a million dollar income is a common thing. Not so at the turn of the Twentieth Century, 100 years ago, when first setting the philosophy of success to paper.

Put your ear balls on this one. If you were to take the 600 million dollars created from that single idea in 1903 and adjust it for inflation to today, that would be approximately 12 billion dollars.

Clearly the realm of Bill Gates thinking=85 another practical visionary who turned an idea into billions of dollars.

These facts and they are facts well known to almost everyone who knew Mr. Carnegie , give you a fair idea of what the lessons learned may bring to you, provided you know what it is you want.

It is important to the design theme to the hall where the reception is to take place. There has to be a match here. It is important to have a complete idea of just how the hall is going to appear at the time of the reception. How many tables will there be? What kind of chairs are being used? How large is the dance area? Where will the head table be located? These are the types of questions that must be answered before a design theme can be planned.

The key elements to the design theme are s and flowers. The centerpiece and the table top decorations are the key areas of advancing the theme of the design. One good idea is to consider the season. If a wedding is in spring, a more normal design of bright and would be fine, but a fall wedding might feature a design theme more suited to autumn. A winter wedding can use a winter theme.

One good centerpiece idea is a floating rose display. You can make it easily by starting with any large clear glass container filled with water. Add some pink or red to the water and sprinkle artificial into the water and around the table top. The petals can be purchased from stores or candle shops. They are made of acetate, a silk like material. The sky is the limit for centerpiece design.

The other important element of the reception design is the floral arrangements. It is generally recommended that the actual placement and removal of floral arrangements be left to professional florists. It is not that you will be unable to create the arrangement that best expresses your design scheme, but rather that you are going to be very busy elsewhere on the wedding day itself. Once again, the decorating theme should match the hall. Large and tall arrangements work best in large halls. They fill space and also make a bold statement. Flowers can be part of the centerpiece design, and there are limitless ways to express a design theme with them It is a good idea to place an empty vase with water at each bridesmaid table for her bouquet. This not only preserves them, but they then become part of the table design.
