This Morning’s Coin Drop: Seaside Games With Bigger Prizes

Do you remember heading to the arcades on holiday as a kid and putting copper coins into machines? As Peter Kay once said, you can put 2ps in and win… err… 2p’s!

It’s a sort of rite of passage of the British childhood to form a soft gambling habit as a child in seafront arcades, spending a year’s worth of discarded small change that’s been sitting in the kitchen drawer gathering dust since the last family coastal excursion.

First, ITV had Tipping Point, a familiar spin on those arcade games built into a long running format that’s seems to have been around for decades presented by Ben Shephard. Now, he’s got the gig presenting This Morning alongside Cat Deeley there’s a mini version that’s appeared fairly regularly to give away up to £20,000 a day.

There’s no messing about with This Morning’s competition called Coin Drop, it’s usually over and done with in about five minutes.

Viewers do have to fork out £2 to be in with a chance of playing, and it’s replaced the popular Spin To Win game that was free to play for several years beforehand.

What’s not changed though, is that viewers chosen to play are horrendous at answering their phone to play, and even if they do, seem to be frightfully confused about what’s going on. Where do ITV find these people?

On a side note, if anyone wants to send me a couple of quid without the foggiest idea of why they’re paying it out, feel free.

This Morning’s Drop: Online Sax Lessons

Many people have begun their journey to become an accomplished musician by taking advantage of the many saxophone lessons available through online resources. The benefits that these lessons provide are extremely beneficial, especially for individuals who may not have the time to take a regular weekly or bi-weekly music class at a local community college or school. In addition to offering music lessons via the internet, many websites also include video lessons for the budding musician to watch and learn from. Many of these online courses offer several different types of lessons in addition to the one on one learning experience that is offered through a traditional music teacher.

When an individual takes advantage of all of the available saxophone lessons available online, it allows them to expand their knowledge of this wonderful instrument while meeting new friends that they would otherwise not be able to interact with. The ability to meet new people and share ideas about playing provides a great outlet for music lovers. Learning how to play the saxophone can also help a person learn a variety of other subjects that they may be less inclined to learn without additional guidance.

For example, if a person wants to learn how to play the saxophone in a jazz setting, a professional saxophonist might be a great resource to follow. Many professional saxophonists offer private lessons as well as saxophone tuition through various venues. These individuals typically have a vast knowledge of the instrument and the proper way to play it. Having a professional to teach you the basics of playing the instrument is advantageous in that they can correct mistakes that you may make while you are learning the instrument.

Another benefit is the one that goes along with being able to start playing the saxophone in a jazz setting. Playing in a jazz setting, provides a unique opportunity to learn how to play the instrument. Many saxophone players are taught to play by only using one hand. While the left hand can be used for plucking and scratching, it is often not effective at the same time. By having someone guide you through the basics of playing the instrument, you can begin to learn the instrument in a more fluid way. Not only will this allow you to have a great time listening to and playing along with professional saxophonists, but you will also gain some valuable practical experience in terms of playing the instrument.

Most saxophones, regardless of how they are played, share some similar characteristics. Even the most advanced saxophones will have a few common characteristics. For example, most saxophones will have a rim that has a lip that juts out when the mouthpiece is pushed towards the front of the instrument. It is common for the lips of these devices to extend to a degree that covers at least half of the length of the entire instrument.

The tongue of the saxophone also tends to cover at least a quarter of the length of the device. The last common characteristic that all professional saxophones share is that there is a button or lever on the side that adjusts the tension of the cord. When you are learning a new instrument like the saxophone, you want to make sure that your musician pad, which is used to play the instrument, can be freely moved without impacting the sound of the notes. When you are using a saxophone lesson online, this is one of the things that can be adjusted. This way you can keep the tone of the instrument in check and not cause any damage to it.

One of the easiest ways to get the right impression on the ears of your students is by teaching them to “know” the notes by feeling the texture of the saxophone. In this way, they will know where to place their fingers on the keys to achieve the desired sound. If you are a beginning player, it is a good idea to start with a simple lesson such as this one before you move on to more complex instructions. In fact, it might even be a good idea to teach your students how to “know” the notes by feeling the texture of the mouthpiece, which is attached to the saxophone. A simple “memory” system can be implemented in your lesson plans this way.

Another helpful tool for the beginning player is instructional material available on CDs. Some of these instructional books include a series of videos showing you exactly how to use the various techniques that you will learn. It is important to remember that most music stores do not carry all the different types of instructional materials that you might need. Most Saxophone Lesson Online providers offer downloadable files that are very easy to use.
