Taking to Twitter, Esther who appears in a popular web tv show, BK CHAT LDN, wrote: "Correction, I didn't do surgery because I was obese or overweight, I did it because I didn't like my figure after childbirth.

Sports news Tiemoue Bakayoko inspired by Chelsea legends Drogba and Makelele

Image
Tiemoue Bakayoko inspired by Chelsea legends Drogba and Makelele Tiemoue Bakayoko says former Chelsea players Didier Drogba and Claude Makelele have been two major influences in his career. Bakayoko joined the Premier League champions from Monaco in a deal worth a reported £40 million and said that Makelele, who was technical director at the principality club during Bakayoko's formative years, became something of a mentor. "Makelele helped me greatly," Bakayoko told Chelsea's official website. "When he arrived at Monaco I wasn't a very, very good player, but I had a lot of discussions with him, he gave me a lot of advice, and he allowed me to play my style of football more simply." Drogba, one of the club's most celebrated players of all time, has also proved inspirational, albeit from a distance. "Drogba has had a stellar career and he managed to do so many great things, first at Marseille and then here at Chelsea," Bakayo...

Sports news Joe Hart is set to undergo his medical at West Ham ahead of an initial loan move from Manchester City

Image
Joe Hart is set to undergo his medical at West Ham ahead of an initial loan move from Manchester City . The Hammers are keen to recruit a new goalkeeper this summer, and have swiftly negotiated a deal for the England international. Hart’s City contract expires in 2019, and he has, it is understood, been told to find a new club by manager Pep Guardiola. City allowed Hart to leave on loan to Torino last season and he is now set to move to London Stadium, with Guardiola’s side willing to subsidise his wages. West Ham are understood to have struck a deal that will see City pay half of Hart’s £100,000-per-week wages, and an option to buy will be included. Hart is now poised to formalise his move to the Hammers, which will likely lead to speculation over the futures of Adrian and Darren Randolph. The England goalkeeper, who has won 71 caps for the Three Lions, could make his move to the Irons permanent at the end of the season. Hart published an Insta...

Part Six of Eight on how to play keyboard

Get familiar with your instrument.  Whether you want to be a concert pianist or the keyboard whiz in a rock band, the basics are the same. Learn the terminology.   The instrument has many names and variations that all use the same interface. Let’s take a non-comprehensive look at the history of the keyboard. Organ. This would be among the earliest keyboard instruments with some of the earliest being played with one hand while the other hand operated the bellows. Harpsichord. These were some of the earliest keyboards, and made their sounds by plucking the string like a guitarist would do, only the plectrum was attached to the key. The resulting sound had little dynamic range, but the dynamics were mainly achieved using stops which added or subtracted the number (choirs) of strings on the larger instruments. When the harpsichord was played as usual, it wasn't too noticeable that the instrument wasn't capable of sustaining any note for long. Piano. This refined the pr...

Decide between keyboards versus a regular piano.  Consider the following factors. A piano has 88 keys.  It's big, it's heavy, and it's loud. And you can't plug in headphones to your piano to practice at 2 in the morning! 3 Classical music sounds far better played on a piano than a keyboard.  A digital piano is comparable to a piano, but remember, the process by which a digital piano is sampled from a real piano causes a small loss in sound quality. 4 The digital keyboard is easier to play.  Next time you're near a piano, press down on the lowest note. Then press down on the highest note. Feel the difference? It's heavy and firm on the lower end, and light and easy on the higher end. Now try the same thing on most keyboards. Unless they're made to emulate a piano keyboard, the keys on a synthesizer or workstation all feel the same. The "action," as it's called, is very light and fast, and much easier on the hands to play ...

Part Five of Eight on how to play keyboard

Think of the keyboard as having 3 kinds of "brains. " Each of these brains has a type of memory. The first type of brain is called a sound brain, or more commonly known as a tone.  These are sounds like  pianos , strings, flute, or new and unusual sounds that you can create yourself. The 2nd type is known as the "rhythm brain. " This section might be called "rhythms" on some keyboards, or "styles" on others. The keyboard may include drum kits, bass guitars, pianos and other combinations using preset patterns. It's like a backing band you control with your left hand, and with your right hand, you play the melody. The 3rd kind of brain is where all your musical creations can be recorded.  For instance, if you played a left hand bass guitar part, you could record that, save it, and later play accompaniment with that. You could then play something entirely new, like a piano or synthesizer melody, to fit together with what you've originall...

Train your ears.  No method of learning is instant, and learning by ear is no different. Remembering the sound of a song and finding which notes on the keyboard to press is a skill that takes some practice to develop. The good news is that every great improviser in the world knows how to do it, so it's a skill that will never be wasted. Here is how you can start. Learn the art of solfège.  It's pronounced "soul-fezh," and it means sight singing. You already know the basics, if you know how to sing "do re mi." The notes of the basic solfège scale are as follows: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. In the key of C (the white keys), this corresponds to C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. Try it.  On your keyboard, play the C scale we covered above. For each note you play, sing the next note in the solfège scale. Don't worry if your singing won't get you on American Idol. The idea is to connect the sounds with the notes. But what about the black notes? Here is the...

Get some sheet music.  Go to your local music store, and explain to them that you are just learning to play the keyboard, what style of music you want to play, and if they can recommend a good book for beginners. They will be able to recommend the right method for your style of learning. They might also recommend a piano teacher. If you want to become a skilled player, take their advice. When first positioning your fingers, be aware that some sheet music has little numbers to help guide you. These numbers represent your finger placement for the notes on the score. These correspond to: 1=thumb, 2=index finger, 3=middle finger, 4=ring finger, and 5=little finger.

You can teach yourself this invaluable skill, you can take lessons, or you can do both. It's a great skill to learn, and it's a skill you can take with you should you wish to learn to sing, play the bassoon, the guitar, or the saxophone. Learn by ear. In some ways, this is easier. You just listen to a song, and then figure out which keys on the keyboard make the same notes. It's hard at first, but with a little ear training it gets easier. Plus, you don't have to be bothered with learning what all those little black dots mean.

How to play keyboard

Look at the keyboard.  Whether you’re playing an iPad recreation of a vintage synth, a monster digital workstation keyboard, or a full-fledged concert grand piano, they all have exactly the same key layout, and may differ only in the number of key It's always so impressive to watch a piano master at work, with their fingers flying across the keyboard and their faces wearing a look of total concentration. This article may not teach you acrobatics on the ivories, but it will definitely give you a few ideas to get you started down that path. Notice there are 2 different kinds of keys:  Black keys, and white keys. It may look confusing at first but here are a couple things that will make it easier. There are only 12 basic notes. Every set of 12 notes is the same as every other set of 12 notes, only higher in pitch, or lower in pitch. Every single white key is part of the C Major scale. Every single black key is either called a “sharp” (#) or a “flat”(b). Look at the keyboa...
