Justin Moore lets his fans know how appreciative he is of all they’ve done for him in ‘Flyin’ Down a Back Road.’ Moore tells Taste of Country the song was written in the same spirit as ‘Small Town USA,’ he’ll continue to include songs like this on future projects. “People want to know what you sound like coming out of the radio but they also wanna know who you are as a person,” he says. “They wanna know that opening up for Alan Jackson still gets you excited.” The first two verses are focused on…
Have you ever had one of the worst people in your life become the best role model you have ever had? My whole life I just wanted my father to be there for me and love me like he loved my younger siblings, But I never felt what that was like. I wanted to be more of a priority instead of being shoved to the side like I was a burden to him. I thought I wanted to grow up and be like my father, but I found out that I didn’t. I learned more about who I wanted to be as a man, and as a father in my own…
When it comes to teaching listening and responding come as a packaged deal. Granted most teachers only like one or the other. Often times teachers will respond to what they believed you said. But then others listen and just forget to respond. It is hard to find a teacher that wants or cares enough to do both. I really think these two are the hardest skill to teach. I believe I may be lucky enough to already have them. I grew up around mostly boys. These boys are my pride and joy. I have seen…

The patient had difficulty with this task and phonated on the exhalation rather than the inhalation. Laryngeal Massage (10:56) This speech task involved the clinician performing a…
Voicing When we inhale, air passes into our lungs. Between our pharynx and trachea, each of us have a pair of vocal folds that separate when we do this. This process is called abduction. We use a small intrinsic muscle in our larynx that pulls the vocal folds apart allowing and allows air to move into our lungs. This causes the glottis to open from the back to the front, and the vocal folds wave from the back to the front. The posterior cricoarytenoid muscle is responsible for this…
outside of the operating room (Drugs.com, 2016). Laryngospasm A laryngospasm is a brief spasm of the vocal cords that temporarily make it difficult to talk or breathe. A laryngospasm usually comes on suddenly. Difficulty breathing can be alarming but it is not life-threatening (Rosenow, 2014). The vocal cords are located in the upper part of the airway called the larynx. A vocal cord spasm limits the flow of air through the larynx. Laryngospasms are reactions made by a lightly…

initial note of each song in order to help them in getting the right pitch. The music was sang beautifully with mostly slow tempo. Each singer played an important role in presenting the songs. Being a countertenor, Venner sang the highest range of pitches by using the falsetto-type voice production. Dobell and Smith, both being the tenors in this group, sang slightly lower notes by using modal register. As for Smith, his vocal range is between the range of the tenors and the bass. Macdonald,…
Scat singing is a technique used by singers in vocal jazz music. Scat is a form of vocal improvisation that consists of nonsense syllables or no words at all. It requires the singer to improvise melodies and syllables from the top of their head, this is a very difficult technique to master as it uses the voice as an instrument rather than using it to speak. Though scat singing is improvised, the melodies are usually based around common musical themes, such as scales, arpeggios, or the chorus…
