 | Education: Sing It Safe: Tips From Vocal Coaches |
 BMNN wrote:  /CMA/ Nashville, TN -- By Ted Drozdowski
When Country Music singers bust a "pipe," they don't call the plumber - they contact a vocal coach. "Emergency repairs are often what bring singers to me," explained Renee Grant-Williams, long established as one of Nashville's top vocal instructors. "But the goal is to keep accidents, like a raspy throat or a damaged vocal cord, from happening."

| Announcement: 'Sweet Dreams' Patsy Cline Tribute Showcasing in NY Jan 9-10 |
 PRWeb wrote:  St. Petersburg, FL -- CJ Harding's authentic rendition of Patsy Cline has been selling out theatres and bringing audiences to their feet for a decade. "Patsy" twirls onto stage in an authentic cowgirl outfit from 1963, complete with white fringe . You are immediately taken back in time to the year just before Patsy's plane went down west of Nashville. From the first note of "Crazy" the crowd is seduced by "Patsy's" voice and stage presence. "Patsy" talks with the audience. She walks through the crowd and brings them on stage. She flirts and she dazzles. She's a little naughty. She captures hearts. And in her second act, "Patsy" mesmerizes the audience in her evening gown and diamonds as she belts out her classic ballads against an elegant backdrop. The audience leaves the theatre in a state of awe, as they try to bring themselves back to the present day.

| Opinion: How to Write a Friendly and Easy-to-Use Press Release |
 Bob_Cherry wrote: You would think that all publicists and promoters know how to write a press release. After all, that is what they are paid to do. Many, in fact, do not. I would estimate that 40% of what I get cannot be used in the way I receive it. If you want my network to carry your news, make it easy to do so. I always have more than I run and those items that don't run frequently have nothing to do with the content but rather how it was packaged or presented. I want to help you write better releases and that is the purpose of this article.

| New Release: Mark O'Connor Leads An American Classical Journey With 'Americana Symphony' |
|
BMNN wrote: Mark O'Connor's 20-year musical journey from the fiddle competitions of the South to the stages of Carnegie Hall and The Library of Congress reaches a new milestone in Spring 2009 with the release of his debut symphony. Featuring the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, as led by the world-renowned conductor Marin Alsop, the work takes its inspiration from O'Connor's own melody "Appalachian Waltz," the titular piece from his first collaboration with Yo Yo Ma, in 1995. More importantly, it boldly defines the resurgent American Classical movement that O'Connor helps lead. Due out on his own OMAC records on March 10, 2009, the album also includes O'Connor's Concerto No. 6, "Old Brass".
