Open Mic 101 How to Overcome Stage Fright More

Open Mic 101 How to Overcome Stage Fright More Suzy S. Thinking about stopping by an open mic night, or hitting the stage for karaoke? Performing in front of others is a fantastic way to boost your confidence and meet other musicians in the area but it can also be pretty scary if youre a newbie! Luckily, learning how to overcome stage fright is easy when you focus on the right things. For some quick tips and strategies on getting rid of those pesky nerves, check out this informative video: Read on to learn more about how open mic nights work, how to prepare for your first performance, and how to overcome your stage fright! How Do Open Mic Nights Work? Every venue is different, so you may want to contact the owner or host to make sure youre prepared (check their website or social media sites for contact information). Some venues run on a first-come, first-served line-up simply show up, and ask the host where to sign in. Others may require you to submit your name prior to the event, or might go by a lottery system if theres a large turnout. Keep in mind that most places will also have a time or song limit for example, two songs maximum, or a 10-minute timeslot. You might also want to find out beforehand what kind of set-up the venue has. Do they have backup instrumentalists or a full band to accompany performers? Should you bring your own equipment, or will there be amps and other gear provided? Should you be prepared to play an all-acoustic set? If you dont feel comfortable reaching out to the host before the event, theres nothing wrong with attending just to watch, to get a feel for the environment and the crowd. You might even find the inspiration you need to join in on the fun! Tips for Surviving Your First Open Mic Prepare your piece.  While some performers prefer to improv on stage, as a beginner you may feel more comfortable if you pick out the song youre going to sing or play in advance. Consider giving a mock performance in front of your family or close friends, if you want extra practice in front of others. Invite your friends! Sometimes, all you need is your best supporters cheering you on from the front row to give you a confidence boost. If you get nervous, looking at a friendly face can help. On the other hand, other performers might feel even  more nervous around people they know. Figure out what works for you. Dont forget to warm up. Open mics may feel pretty relaxed, but that doesnt mean you should skimp on your warm-up especially if youre a singer. Step outside and tune your guitar, run through some scales, do some vocal warm-ups, or whatever you need to do to prepare. Get settled. If its your first time performing, or youre feeling particularly nervous, you may want to show up a bit early, so you have time to settle in and relax before youre called on stage. Review your piece in your head if that helps you, but dont work yourself up! Use visualization strategies. The mind is a powerful thing, and often just visualizing yourself having a great performance can do wonders for your self-esteem! As you practice leading up to your performance, visualize hitting each and every note. Picture the audience loving what you do. Think about your sheet music in your head, and get your fingers used to the movement on your instrument. When your mind and your fingers are working together, your piece will feel like second nature. Appreciate your audience. During your performance, think of the crowd as your allies. Remember, there will most likely be other people attending the open mic for the first time, who may be just as nervous as you! And the rest of the crowd? Theyve all been in your shoes once before! Ignore your inner critic, and stay calm.  When youre particularly nervous, the negative voices in your head may seem extra loud. Check out this helpful advice from teacher Victoria W.  to combat the feeling and help you learn how to overcome stage fright. Did you make a mistake, or  forget the words  to what you were singing? It happens to the best of us, even professionals so dont sweat. Do what you can, stay calm, and most likely the audience wont even notice. And the most important tip: Relax, and have fun!  The whole point of open mic nights are to provide positive and welcoming environments for performers of all levels to show off their skills. This is your opportunity to shine make the most of it! Interested in Private Lessons? Search thousands of teachers for local and live, online lessons.

What is it Like to Attend Dalton State College

What is it Like to Attend Dalton State College The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Lalitha is an Atlanta tutor and 2014 graduate of Dalton State College. She holds a Bachelors degree in English and tutors several subjects, including Middle School Math tutoring, Reading tutoring, and Writing tutoring. Check out what Lalitha had to say about her time at Dalton State College: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. How urban or rural is the campus? Did you feel safe on campus? Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Lalitha: Dalton State College, situated off the highway in Dalton, Georgia, is very much a commuter college. Many people, including teachers, come from as far as Atlanta and Tennessee. The campus itself is small it is easy to walk from one side to the other. Sometimes, when all the parking spaces are filled, students park at the Georgia Convention Center and are taken to campus via a shuttle service. Dalton is a rural area; the campus has a stream flowing through it, as well as a hiking trail. I felt very safe on campus. Only once did I hear of an incident of someone being attacked on campus. Since many of the students are older, have children, and have full-time jobs, it is a very different environment from larger colleges where most students are more interested in partying than studying. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Lalitha: Because Dalton State College is small, I got to know most of the teachers and staff. It almost felt like a second family because the professors knew me and what I was capable of. Teachers could tell when I was having a bad day, and since they knew I wanted to go to graduate school, they challenged me to do my best academically. Even though Dalton State College is small, the teachers are some of the best in the country. For example, Christy Price, one of our Psychology teachers, received a national teaching award. She also attends international conferences. I felt like the teachers really wanted to be there, and it showed in the way they taught. The lectures were very insightful, and I finished each class feeling that I had become a better person for taking it. The coursework was also very challenging. We had to write long papers that were graded for content, format, and grammar, and we also had in-depth class discussions. We all spent many hours studying for tests. However, because the teachers challenged me, I now feel adequately prepared for graduate school. The advisers were also extremely helpful. As an immigrant, I had so many questions about attending college, and I did not know whether it would even be possible for me. However, I had heard good things about Dalton State College. When I went there for the first time, I was greeted by Matthew Queener (who is no longer there), who showed me and my family around campus, explained the admissions process, and was even able to provide me with financial aid in order to attend. I never felt like I was being treated like a number the Dalton State College staff always saw me as an individual and did their best to help me. Dr. Angela Harris and Victoria Summers, who both help international students, went above and beyond their duties to help me stay in school and manage my visa papers. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Lalitha: Dalton State College acquired apartment buildings next to their campus and turned them into dorm rooms they look much more comfortable and beautiful than dorm rooms on traditional campuses with their sterile interior and high, hard beds. I never stayed in the dorms because I continued living with my parents and commuted to campus twice a week. On those days, I would pack my own lunch and snacks (and sometimes dinner when I had really late classes). As a vegan, there were no options for me in the cafeteria (not counting Fritos, unripe bananas, and over-priced fruit cups). Since I commuted to school and scheduled all my classes, I did not really get a chance to explore the area. My husband and I went to downtown Dalton once, and there were some interesting sights, but many businesses have closed down and there is not much to do. Most of the students who reside in Dalton go to Chattanooga to hang out. I did most of my socialization with students on campus. I met my friends in class, randomly on campus, or through student clubs and events. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Lalitha: At the moment, I think Nursing, Biology, and Business are the best supported majors, judging by the amount of scholarships people in those majors receive, as well as the opportunities available to them to go to conferences. Dalton State College also recently started offering a four-year degree in Psychology, which is very exciting, since the students who wanted to study Psychology always had to transfer after completing their Associate degree. I started out studying Sociology. I fell in love with it because it uses many different fields and perspectives to form an overall idea of why society is the way it is. It is empowering because it not only identifies social problems, but also offers insight into what caused them and consequently into how we can work together to fix these problems. Unfortunately, Dalton State College only offered an Associate degree in Sociology, and I could not afford to transfer, so I changed my major to English. However, my Sociology professor, Dr. Hassan El-Najjar, was very supportive of my studies and presented me with an academic award in Sociology. I still aspire to continue my Sociology studies in graduate school. I decided to major in English for a variety of reasons. I love reading and discussing literature, and literature also offers social insights. English teaches effective communication and critical thinking (two very important skills to have), and English offers a wide variety of opportunities after college. With an English degree, I could teach overseas or enter any non-specialized field. Dalton State Colleges English department is filled with wonderful and passionate professors, and even though English was not my first choice, I truly enjoyed my studies. I think the English program can be supported better by the college. English majors do not receive as many scholarships as science majors, and they do not have as many opportunities to present their papers at conferences. Sometimes the professors are expected to teach too many classes I think they deserve more recognition for their hard work and dedication. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Lalitha: Since Dalton State College is a commuter college, it is a bit more challenging to make friends because you cannot easily meet with them outside of college. It took me a bit longer to find lasting friendships, and I found most of my friends later in my college career after having had a few classes with the same people. However, the people who attend Dalton State College are very friendly and tolerant of people who come from different cultures and who hold different beliefs. Greek life only recently developed, so I did not get an opportunity to partake in it. I was accepted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, but after paying my fee, I never heard from them again. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Lalitha: I never made use of the Career Center since I attended Dalton State College on a student visa and was not allowed to work off-campus. I recently registered on their website as an alumna looking for full-time work, so I have yet to see whether those services are helpful or not. They do have career fairs, and I assume those are helpful. In general, the other student support services are excellent. In particular, Academic Resources helps students with disabilities and academic performance struggles. I worked for them as a tutor, and I saw firsthand how many students received support that made a difference. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Lalitha: The study areas are generally quiet and comfortable. There were many days when I took a nap on one of the long, blue couches in the student center or on a particularly cushioned couch in the library. However, the student center can sometimes get crowded, especially during lunch time. Sometimes the study rooms in the library are all occupied (and mostly by single persons, even though the rule requires there to be more than one person in a room). Regardless of these complaints, there is always somewhere to study. If the library and student center do not work, going to the writing lab is always a good idea. Not many people think to go there, but it is quiet, has computers available, and there are friendly staff (and sometimes faculty) members willing to help you with your papers. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Lalitha: I mostly stayed on campus since my days were packed with classes. Dalton is a small town, and there is not much to do there. I drove around there a few times and my husband and I went to a restaurant there once, but it was nothing exciting. The fun place to go is Chattanooga, Tennessee about a 45-minute drive from Dalton. Since many of the other students commute as well, they mostly stay on campus and go home to their respective towns. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Lalitha: The student body is relatively small. For example, on graduation day, even those who earned certificates get to walk on stage individually. I was very pleased with the class size. My largest class may have had 35 students, and my smallest class had four students including myself! Because the classes were so small, the teachers could really connect with students on an individual level, and we had some great class discussions where every persons input was valued. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Lalitha: One semester, I decided to take a class called Violence and the Media. I was an English major at the time, and this was a Criminal Justice elective class I thought it might be helpful as an English major to study the portrayal of a certain topic (in this case, violence) in the media. I also knew the professor who was going to be teaching the class, since I had had an introductory Criminal Justice class with him. On the first day, all the students arrive in class with their textbooks out, ready to start the lesson. But instead of Dr. Wright, in walks a female professor with high heels, blonde hair, and a Texan accent. She informed us that the schedule had been changed, that the class is now called Violence and Homicide, and that it would be taught by her. We were all shocked and dismayed, since we had already purchased our textbooks. And instead of studying the media, we would be studying the criminal mind. We would be looking at why people kill and famous cases involving killers. Moreover, this was a brand new teacher who nobody was familiar with. However, this class ended up being one of the most interesting, insightful classes I took at Dalton State College. It was something I would never have chosen, but something I am glad I ended up taking. Dr. Johnson became a role-model to me: she is a strong, intelligent woman who challenges her students. Nothing prepared me for senior seminar quite like the 17-page research paper she assigned for that class. And I realized that Criminal Justice is an immensely interesting field of study. Dr. Johnson even invited a real homicide detective to show us one of his cases. She also taught us about domestic violence and gave us a wonderful article that deconstructs the question, Why doesnt she just leave? She introduced us to many different theories as to why people commit violence, most notably general strain theory, which she studied extensively. It inspired many of my English papers, and the knowledge I gained in this class has broadened my understanding of Sociology. It just goes to show that sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, but it turns out to be a good thing. Check out Lalithas tutoring profile.

Ideas for Teaching Outside the Classroom

Ideas for Teaching Outside the Classroom Sometimes, your students need a change of scenery. Taking your students outside the classroom can be highly beneficial, energizing students and giving them the chance to interact and learn in a totally different way. Below are a few ideas from Huntington to help move your teaching venue beyond the traditional classroom: Field trips. The field trip is the most obvious way to take students into the real world, but dont think that your only option is the art or science museum. Tour your citys sports arena. Explore your areas trails, hiking spots, rivers, or lakes. Visit a historic site. Check out a college campus. Take science outside. Whats on or near your schools campus? A grassy field? Trees? A body of water? Wildflowers? Use the area as a learning ground to study plants, rocks, or insects. Team up with other classes. Could you pair older and younger students for a mentorship or book buddies program? Could you let small groups of your students observe another class that is covering a topic your class is also studying? Use the weather. The changing weather and seasons create obvious teaching opportunities for science teachers, but English teachers might take students outside for creative writing or poetry units to let the sounds and sights inspire them. Math teachers could have students track and graph rainfall, wind direction, and temperature. Make it active. Use the spaces within your school to make your learning more active when feasible. Could you invigorate a lecture by moving to the auditorium or library? Could the gym serve as an occasional venue for student discussions or group presentations? Understandably, most teachers feel best equipped in their own classrooms. However, you can boost your students growth and enrich their learning by periodically changing things up. Try something and see how it goes!

How to Find Scholarship Money-Even for the Average Student

How to Find Scholarship Money-Even for the Average Student How to Find Scholarship MoneyEven for the Average Student Are scholarships only for outstanding students and stellar athletes? Definitely not! If you have written off scholarships because your college-bound teen isnt at the top of the class, think again. There are many scholarships for students with varying skillsets and different backgrounds, but not necessarily the highest GPAs and SAT/ACTtest scores. According to sources such as Scholarship America and Scholarships.com, students can receive scholarship support from all kinds of sourcesfor their creativity, ability to overcome adversity, or efforts in extracurricular and volunteer activities, for example. Where should your teen look? Here are a few tips and suggestionsas you and your teen embark upon the scholarship search: Start with the guidance counselor. A great place to begin the scholarship search is at the guidance counselors office. Many guidance/college counselors maintain a list of local and national scholarships and can quickly tell you what scholarships your teen may or may not be eligible for. In addition, the guidance counselor will have information about different types of scholarships at the colleges and universities in your state or region, as well as directions on how to apply. Keep in mind that guidance counselors may be your best source for information about local scholarships or foundations. Tip: Ask the guidance counselor how to stay up to date on new scholarships and deadlines. Many high schools maintain an online database of scholarships. Look at your states Department of Education website. Obviously, all states offer financial aid, but many states offer scholarships or other types of stipends. While the colleges to which your teen applies often handle the application process for such aid, your states Department of Education website is a great source of information. For example, in Colorado, the College Opportunity Fund is a stipend available to all students going to college in the state. In Michigan, the Michigan Nursing Scholarship awards scholarships to residents who pursue nursing degrees. The state of New Jersey offers several types of scholarships for state residents pursuing different fields of study. Tip: To find your states department of education website, visit www.ed.gov/about and click on State Contacts. Then, search for scholarships. Colleges financial aid departments can also point you in the right direction to learn more about state funds and scholarships. Ask organizations where you work or volunteer. Employers are an excellent resource for scholarships, especially bigger corporations. Some companies award scholarships to employees or dependents or employees, but many others do not require applicants to have any connection to the company. Check out some of the organizations in your area as well as larger national corporations that might offer scholarships. Examples include U.S. Bank, Microsoft and Walmart. Tip: Your employer or your teens employer (if your teen has a part-time job) are a great place to start. Consider scholarships for students of certain heritage or background. Many scholarships support specific individuals, such as women or students from underrepresented ethnic backgrounds. Nonprofit organizations such as the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the United Negro College Fund award funds to thousands of students each year. Tip: A scholarship search engine can help you locate scholarships for which you might be eligible based on your personal characteristics. Check out nontraditional sources of scholarship revenue offered in your state. Programs such as Georgias HOPE Scholarship program open doors for students without perfect GPAs. Students with a 3.0 GPA are eligible as well as students who come from home study programs, and they can receive funding toward college degrees and technical certifications or diplomas. Floridas Bright Futures Scholarship program offers scholarships to students who have achieved at least a 3.0 GPA (for Florida Medallion Scholars, or a 3.5 GPA for Florida Academic Scholars) and completed a minimum number of service hours. Tip: The scholarships mentioned above are both Lottery scholarship programs, which a number of states also have. Research whether your state offers a similar program that is funded by state lottery revenues or other funding sources, such as tobacco settlements or turnpike revenues. Use scholarship search engines to aid your search. One of the best ways to round up a list of scholarships for which your teen is qualified is to use a scholarship search engine. These tools help students create a detailed student profile and narrow down a list of scholarships that fit that profile (eliminating any for which they do not meet the criteria). Tip: Reputable search engines include scholarships.com, scholarshipexperts.com, fastweb.com, and the College Boards Scholarship Search Tool. Although there are thousands of scholarships out there, it can be discouraging to see scholarship after scholarship restricted for high achievers with exceptional grades and test scores. Never fear: there are many scholarships for students with other skills, traits and interests. Encourage your teen to put effort into the search and he or she may be surprised by the number of scholarship options available. Here are a few more tips to help make your child's college journey more affordable. And of course, dont forget to enter Huntingtons College Scholarship Sweepstakes. Huntington awards a $500 scholarship each quarter to a college-bound high school student. Simply submit your information via text message on behalf of your student.

How to Re-Apply for a Job That Rejected You

How to Re-Apply for a Job That Rejected You Image via unsplash.com Try to clear your slate The emotions of frustration and sadness may still be lingering from the first time you applied for a job and were rejected, and that is perfectly okay. It is okay to feel upset at a missed opportunity, but now that the same exact opportunity is offered up to you for the taking, it is time to let those emotions go and spend your energy on something that is even more important securing the job you need. You do not want to go into the job application process once more with ill feelings toward anyone in the company. For example, if you were working with a specific hiring manager while applying previously, do not hold them accountable for you not getting the job the first time. Remain professional and treat them just as you would the first time around. You do not want to sound accusatory and make them feel like it was their fault you did not get hired. Look at this opportunity to re-apply for a job as a brand new opportunity, as if you had not previously applied for the job and were rejected. Do not fixate on the idea that you were rejected the first time around, because it may just hold you back from doing your best during the re-application process. Learn from your past mistakes Yes, you will want to erase the negative emotions associated with your initial rejection to the job you are re-applying for, but it does not mean that you have to forget the whole experience entirely. Just as you would for any job application process that you have gone through in the past, you will want to remember the experience as a learning experience. Reflect on the experience and think about what you can take away from it. Where do you think you really did well and appealed to a hiring manager? What question did you fumble on during a job interview, and how you would answer it now that you have had some time to think back on it? You definitely cannot change the past, but you can learn from it and improve. Think back to when you initially applied for the job. Where do you think it went wrong? Was it is a clerical mistake, like not submitting paperwork on time or failing to provide a portfolio? Or did you fumble through the interview after being caught off-guard from a specific question? Make note of your mistakes and try to apply what you learned for the re-application process. If you had time to think about certain interview questions, you will now be plenty more prepared to answer them. Rewrite your resume, if you can   Before re-applying for a job that you were previously hired for, take time to revise your resume. You do not want to go into the re-application process with the same exact resume, job interview answers, etc as last time you were applied. Truthfully, you were rejected for the position for a reason, and it may have been that your resume appeared lacking in comparison to other applicants, or that your resume did not accurately describe your skillset and experience. If you are lost as to where you should start when revising your resume for your job re-application, start by reflecting back on what experiences or skills were emphasized during a job interview. For example, if they were asking for details on a skill that you did not explicitly have written out on your resume, you may want to consider incorporating it ou your revised resume. If you were fortunate enough to get feedback from your job interviewer or hiring manager on why you were not hired, like lacking a specific skill or experience, you should also incorporate it into your rewritten resume, if you can. Getting rejected for a position is not the end of the world, and if you do get an opportunity to re-apply for a job that you thought you were qualified for, do not be afraid to take advantage of it.
