    🗣INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN VOICE🗣 ⠀ 📍In old Italy, a person’s passport indicated the timbre of his voice. It was believed that the timbre of the voice is a natural property of a person and cannot be changed. Nowadays, in countries such as the USA, England and Italy, a voice recording is considered an indisputable legal document that cannot be falsified. ⠀ 📍Singing and speaking use completely different parts of the brain, although they seem to belong to the same function. This is why some stroke survivors lose the ability to speak but can still sing. ⠀ 📍The vast majority of children sing in treble - this is facilitated by a small larynx and short vocal cords. The voice “breaks” mainly in boys - due to rapid growth and a sharp change in the mechanisms of the larynx. In girls, the ligaments are shorter and grow much more smoothly. ⠀ 📍According to the Guinness Book of Records, the loudest voice belongs to UK resident Jill Drake. She is capable of screaming with a volume of 129 decibels - this is louder than any rock concert and only 10 decibels quieter than a jet engine ✈️ ⠀ 📍 “Golden Voice of Russia” Nikolai Baskov became the first representative of Russian show business to insure his voice. If Basque loses his vote, the insurance company will pay him $2 million. By the way, the legendary singer Marlene Dietrich was the first in the world to insure her voice. ⠀ 📍And finally...Is it possible to break a glass with your voice? Can. It is necessary that the glass is made of thin glass and that the vibrations of your voice make the glass resonate. Resonance is a powerful thing💥 ⠀ 🎉We are waiting for everyone who wants to demonstrate the capabilities of THEIR voice at the "ARTCON MUSIC" award on October 4, in St. Petersburg🎉

    4 IMPORTANT TASKS OF A TEACHER. ⠀ Save a useful note! ⠀ I stood backstage hundreds of times and saw how teachers set up their students before going on stage. What do you think I saw most of the time? Write your answer in the comments, and then we'll see what happens. Let's first talk about the teacher. How does he feel at this moment? Yes, of course, the teacher is worried. After all, he doesn’t have one child, but often many at once. And each one with its own characteristics! The teacher has soloists - one goes on stage, another changes clothes, the third actually went to the toilet and did not return. The teacher of the team simply has a lot of children, and you constantly worry whether everything is in place. And then there’s an important performance, a serious jury, such high expectations! The teacher faces a very important task, the first task of emotional intelligence, which is now being so actively studied. You need to become aware of your emotions. Understand how you feel right now, analyze your behavior from the outside. Read the continuation in the carousel! 👆

Teachers, managers and accompanists receive official letters of gratitude and certificates for completing the round table.

    As part of each festival-competition, the organizing committee awards a special diploma “For outstanding teaching skills.” A teacher who has received a diploma also receives an Individual grant for the development of creative teaching activities in the amount of 15,000 rubles. The criteria for selecting the owner of the Individual Grant and the diploma “For Outstanding Pedagogical Excellence” are the level of skill of the teacher’s students, the number and variety of performances presented, and the overall impression of the performances.
