Pop star Shakira trod in the footsteps of Winston Churchill and the Dalai Lama on Monday when she addressed the Oxford Student Union.

Wearing a pink dress, the Hips Don’t Lie singer told the 400 assembled students that it was a “privilege” to appear on the stage of the famous debating society.

“I’m mystified as to why you are here, as there won’t be any singing or any hip shaking whatsoever,” she joked.

The Colombian star spoke about her music career and charity work for half an hour, focusing on the role of universal education in promoting world peace.

“That is how I want the youth of 2060 to see us,” said the 32-year-old Unicef goodwill ambassador.

“That in 2010, world education became more important than world domination.”

Shakira went back to university this week, to give a lecture.

The ‘She Wolf’ spoke to around 400 students at Oxford Union in London and was “honoured” to give a speech.

Speaking afterwards, Shakira told The Sun: “So how do I go from Barranquilla, Colombia, to the same stage as Newton and Churchill? Lord knows I’m no Mother Teresa.

Private singing lessons are very useful for those of us who love to sing and would like to improve our vocal technique as well as our overall pitch and rhythm sense. However, some singing students may be a little overwhelmed whenever they attend lessons, and may not know how to best make use of the time that they have with their vocal coach or singing instructor!

Here are some important tips for all singing students, so that you will be able to make the most out of your singing lessons, and be able to improve quickly in your singing and vocal technique:

Get A Good Vocal Coach

For your vocal lessons to be genuinely useful to you in developing a better singing voice, you will need an experienced vocal coach who is able to ‘diagnose’ your voice and know exactly what exercises you will need in order to improve your singing! For example, you may need more exercises to strengthen your chest voice, or more pitching or rhythm training, or even some basic lessons in pronunciation and diction. Your vocal coach should be able to tell you what you need, and be able to communicate these ideas to your clearly!

Always Come Prepared For Lessons

Every singing lesson is an opportunity for you to talk to an expert in singing and to learn as much as you can from your vocal coach! So, always come prepared with questions that you may have had during the past week or are genuinely curious about. This will show your vocal coach that you are motivated about learning how to sing, and he or she will be more inclined to teach you even more! Your instructor will also be able to understand better what are your main concerns and how best to answer them so that you will be able to improve even more!

Practice, Practice and More Practice

Make sure you practice whatever vocal drills or pitching exercises that your singing instructor has given you during the singing lessons. Learning how to sing is just like learning how to play any musical instrument, and as with any instrument, practice is absolutely essential if we want to improve in our playing or singing skills! Also, pay attention to how you practiced during your lesson with your vocal instructor so that when you practice at home, you know how to do it correctly and certainly not inadvertently harm your voice during your self-practice!

Be Patient

Learning how to sing well takes some time and effort, and certainly does not happen overnight. Just like how it takes a piano player many years before he or she is able to be great at playing the piano, so it will also take us a certain period of time before we are able to master our singing voice! Even professional singers take regular singing lessons to keep their voices in top form, and to keep improving in their vocal technique!

An art suppressed…a phrase which used to be quite common some
years back seems outdated today. Earlier independent music artists had to
face a lot of problems to prove their talent, to enter the
market and set their careers on rolls.

Thus some of the wonderful artists remained confined to the
local areas and to the unknown atmosphere. The result being –
Their talent suppressed. But today there are many media through
which an unsigned artist can get launched into
the market.

They are given a chance to prove their talents and start their
career all anew. There are many sites also which promote such
artists. Indietunes.com is one such site which promotes a new music artist and does not keep any
share from your hard earned money.

Songs hold an important place in everyone’s heart. People listen to songs for the purpose of relaxation, dancing, while playing games and even while exercising. We can listen to songs either through audiocassettes, television, compact discs, MP3s, DVDs, and who knows how many more media is going to be devised to play music. We can also get free songs downloaded from the Internet, so long as you know the song titles, songwriter or singer of the songs that you need to be downloaded. There is specific free software found on the internet, which facilitates all this.

People usually think that it takes a genius to write a song. However, for one to actually be able to write a tuneful verse, one needs to have the ability to listen to the words of the heart. Just go with the heart, and you are bound to get a song. Of course, to churn out the words to be put into tune, some formal training will be needed, like meter and rhyming. However, this is not so for creating the song lyrics. The lyrics all come from our hearts and feelings. The key of writing songs lies in using the same rhyming and syllable pattern in each verse. The chorus may be different as it has the hook, which is the part of the song that people tend to remember and enjoy the most.

Songs have become a major block of the music entertainment industry, providing employment to thousands of people and also providing needed exposure to budding singers. Instrumentalists have also been given the opportunity to display their talents through different songs that are being produced across the world. Songs and music have no borders and play an important part in uniting the world. Songs have played an important part in our lives for a long time, and will continue to do so for a long time to come.

That’s right “Chronicles of Narnia”, Richard Pryor and the new
movie “Brokeback Mountain” posess an insidious link to, a
controversial persuasion author, JK Ellis.

This is a conspiracy of implication.

JK Ellis and Richard Pryor - fearless in telling you whats on
our minds. JK Ellis and the movie “Chronicles of Narnia” -
compelling in what we have to offer. JK Ellis and the new movie
“Brokeback Mountain” - willing to discuss things that everyone
else wants to ignore or deny.

This is merely a demonstration of how one can persuade by
association and implication. Simply by comparing the writer JK
Ellis to three things in the popular culture it creates a fit in
the mind s of the public.

JK Ellis points this out on his Mind Control blog
http://mindcontrol101.blogspot.com as “not quite the same thing
as name dropping to impress people but it’s along the sames
lines.”

How do the best PR people in the world use this strategy?

1) Quotes - telling people what other people have said about
you. This is different than just stating it out right. “Quotes”
provides distance.

2) Plant a story or press release that piggy backs something in
the popular culture with your name. Example: “Controversial Mind
Control Author warns of advance influence technology in Harry
Potter movies”.

3) Covertly drop a name. Meaning while you’re on the phone you
turn your back to the listener and whisper just loud enough for
them to hear “Tell Mr. Tarantino that I can’t work with him
until his assistant clears his schedule for me. There’s no way
that…. Oops… I have to go.”

4) Leaving a scratch pad on your desk with the words “Lindsay
Lohan cell# 619-722-8099″

The key is to distance yourself as much as possible from
actually dropping the name yourself.

None of this is new, of course. Planting credible evidence has
been one keys to success since the time of Chinese General Sun
Tzu.
