High School Production of Sound of Music?

31st December

If I'm auditioning for a high school production of the Sound of Music what would be a good song to sing? I'm not sure what song to sing! any help would be appreciated
I'm thinking of sining My New Philosophy but I'm not sure?

Something else by Rodgers and Hammerstein. If you're aiming for Maria then "I Whistle A Happy Tune" from The King And I is ideal. For Liesl, I'd use "Out of My Dreams" from Oklahoma as I've always seen similarities between Liesl and Laurey (who sings that song). Any other parts, try "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from Flower Drum Song.

What are good boarding high schools for music production?

29th December

okay, so I'm only in 7th grade but i know what i want to do. I want to go into music production. I know what collage i want to go to but i want to make sure i get in that collage. My friend told me about a a boarding (high school) school in California and that it specializes in arts and things so i want something very similar.

Music Production what should I do

27th December

I am going into my first year in high school. I would really like to go to college for music production. I was wondering what kind of things I should do to help me get into a good college for music production.

If your school has a Music & Computers program, take that. Taking communications technology and computer courses would also help. Alot of music production is done digitally nowadays (Unless the artist wants a raw sound, then they might go with analog) and getting involved with local radio stations, volunteering for your high school’s tech crew, etc will certainly help. Familiarize yourself with some basic music mixing programs and some very basic producing prgrams, like Garageband.
Good luck

Getting started with music production help?

25th December

I have little to no experience with producing music on the computer. I do, however, have more than enough musical background to make up for it. I want to be like that producer Rsherfan who's a rnb, rap, hip hop, and soul producer in Sydney, Australia. I played the trumpet from 4th-8th grade, moved to Florida and decided I won't do band and focus more on computers. I also play the piano keyboard(been playing since I was 4-5 in my dads band but the band stopped and I didn't really play for about 4-5 yrs after). When I was 8, I got a guitar for Christmas and I learned to play! The problem is that I haven't taken any courses related to music in high school, but I'm sure I want to learn in college. The thing is that I plan on majoring in computer & information sciences and I've taken some computer related courses in high school. My family notices my musical talent, so I believe music production is worth pursuing. I'm about to be 18 in a couple of days as well. Any suggestions?

an internship is always great. You may not get paid but you learn. There may also be a summer program you can take. There are also those one years/ acouple of months programs schools.

Is a Alienware m5550 laptop good for music??

23rd December

Im thinking about getting the Area-51 m5550. It looks good plus seems like it should be pretty stable under pressure. just need to know if its a good computer for music production and school work . know theyre realy meant for gaming but i just need to know if its powerful enough for music production which takes alot of power.

go for the mac, and this is why: http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/

comparable software for a windows box costs more and isn't as nice. Get a macbook pro.
