5 Popular Guitar Chord Progressions Youll Instantly Recognize

5 Popular Guitar Chord Progressions Youll Instantly Recognize Sign up successful So, if you’re not familiar with using Roman numerals, here’s a quick run-through: The most basic way to make chords is to play the notes in a scale alternating every other note.  One of the most basic chords is a triad.  A triad has three notes.  So, if you make one chord built from each note in the C Major scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), these are the chords you end up with: C major (C, E, G) D minor (D, F, A) E minor (E, G, B) F major (F, A, C) G major (G, B, D) A minor (A, C, E) B diminished (B, D, F) Triads built from the 1st, 4th, and 5th scale degrees are major chords.  Triads built from the 2nd, 3rd, and 6th scale degrees are minor chords.  A triad built from the 7th scale degree is a diminished chord. Now, if you use Roman numerals to label each chord that we just made from the C Major scale, you see this: I (Cmaj), ii (Dmin), iii (Emin), IV (FMaj), V (G), vi (Amin), vii ° (Bdim) Notice that upper-case Roman numerals are used for major chords, while lower-case Roman numerals are used for minor and diminished chords. Next, its time to play! Below are five popular guitar chord progressions in pop music. When you play the other songs in other keys, just think about the progressions in terms of Roman numerals to understand the relationship between them. 1. D-C-G: Royals Lorde This same chord progression is also used in these songs, only in a different key: More Than a Feeling Boston; You Got It Roy Orbison 2. G, C, G, D: Brown Eyed Girl Van Morisson This same chord progression is also used in these songs, only in a different key: Sweet Caroline Neil Diamond; Ballad of John and Yoko The Beatles 3. E-C#min-A-B: No Surprises Radiohead This same chord progression is also used in these songs, only in a different key: Every Breath You Take The Police; Happiness is a Warm Gun The Beatles; Duke of Earl Gene Chandler; Last Kiss: Pearl Jam 4. G-A-C-G: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Club Hearts Band The Beatles This same chord progression is also used in these songs, only in a different key: The Boys Are Back In Town Thin Lizzy; Ride Captain Ride The Blues Image; All Around the World Oasis For more chord progressions and songs check out this article from Roadie Tuner. 5.

Top Eight French Phrases Youll Need to Know Before Traveling in France

Top Eight French Phrases Youll Need to Know Before Traveling in France Megan L. Taking a trip to France? There are a handful of extremely useful French phrases for travelers that you should know. Many French speak English; its even a required subject in high school. But not all the people you meet in France will feel comfortable speaking English. Some may not remember enough English to hold a conversation. So how can you be prepared? Be sure to practice and take with you some basic but helpful French phrases for travelers that will help you find your way around France. Start by watching the video below, then keep reading for even more helpful phrases for tourists! French Phrases for Travelers 1) Parlez-vous anglais? Parlez-vous anglais?  (Do you speak English?) Oui, je parles anglais. (Yes, I speak English.) Non, je ne parles pas anglais.  (No, I dont speak English.) If you dont know much French, this is a very useful question to be able to ask. If they know how to speak English, theyll probably switch languages when they respond. If not, even if the person responds with a shake of the head or other obvious gestures, the negative response is still good to know. 2)  Je voudrais. . . Je voudrais  (I would like) This French phrase can commonly begin an order in a restaurant or cafe. Many restaurants have set price menus with a choice of main dish, side or drink, and sometimes a dessert. To order, you can say: â€" Je voudrais un menu. (Id like a menu.) â€" Je voudrais ce menu. (Id like this menu.) â€" Je voudrais le menu a 11 euros 50. (Id like the menu that costs 11 euros and 50 cents.) You can also use this to buy other items, food or otherwise, which you can look up on the spot in a dictionary. â€" Je voudrais une baguette. (Id like a baguette.) â€" Je voudrais un chapeau. (Id like a hat.) â€" Je voudrais ce livre. (Id like this book.) You can also use this to express what you want to do. â€" Je voudrais aller a mon hôtel. (I want to go to my hotel.) â€" Je voudrais dormir. (I want to sleep.) â€" Je voudrais manger. (I want to eat.) â€" Je voudrais manger mon chapeau. (I want to eat my hat.) Note that technically speaking, the expression “to eat ones hat,” coined by English writer Charles Dickens, is not native to French, so you may need to explain this last one if you use it. You can, however, replace mon chapeau with various edible delicacies, such as un / du fromage (a / some cheese), du vin (wine), un pain au chocolat (a small bread with chocolate), du fruit (fruit), or de lescargot (snails). 3)  Où est. . . Où est ________. (Where is _________.) You can replace the blank with any location to which you might wish to go: â€" Où est Montmartre? (Where is Montmartre?) â€" Où est la Musée du Louvre? (Where is the Louvre Museum?) â€" Où est la cathédrale de Notre Dame? (Where is Notre Dame Cathedral?) â€" Où est lentrée du metro? (Where is the entrance to the subway?) â€" Où est le FNAC? (Where is the FNAC?) (FNAC is a very large and popular bookstore in Paris!) â€" Où est la toilette? (Where is the restroom?) Be prepared for the fact that there arent a huge number of public restrooms in France, at least not in Paris. There are a few, however; there is one underground outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, for example. If there is no restroom nearby, you may wish to go into the nearest cafe, order a snack or drink, and ask to use theirs. When it comes to metro lines, Paris metro lines are all numbered 1 through 20. So someone may refer to one of the lines as, for example, “le quatre” or “la ligne quatre.” Paris RER lines â€" like a subway fasttrack that also goes beyond city limits â€" are labeled with the letters A through E. If youre heading to the Chateau de Versailles during your stay, youll most likely find yourself taking the RER C. As a result, you might want to brush up on your French numbers and alphabet before you head over! If you carry around a map, non-English speaking French who decide to stop and help will be able to more easily show you where you need to go. 4)  Où suis-je? â€" Où suis-je? (Where am I?) â€"  Où sommes-nous? (Where are we?) â€"  Nous sommes ici. / On est ici. (We are here.) The grammatical construction is a little bit different here than with most of the other location questions so far. If youre looking for directions, are looking at your map, and cant find your present location, these phrases can be very useful. 5)  Combien coûte. . . Combien coûte ______? (How much does _____ cost?) Ça coûte combien? (How much does that cost?) Very useful if you cant find a price tag, or need to know a total! In the first example, replace the blank with the item for which you need the price. For example, Combien coûte une écharpe?  would translate to, “How much does a scarf cost?” 6)  Ã‡a coûte. . . Ça coûte ___ euros _____. (That costs ____ euros and ____ cents.) When the vendor responds to #5, of course you will need to understand him! The first number is the number of euros and the second is the number of euro cents. So for example, Ça coûte sept euros cinquante means,  â€œThat costs seven euros and 50 cents.” As with the subway numbers, it will be useful to review your French numbers here, as well. 7)  Sil vous plaît. â€"  Sil vous plaît. (Please.) formal / plural â€"  Sil te plaît.  (Please.) informal / singular When you are asking someone for help, it never hurts to be polite. These few words can go a long way! 8) Merci (beaucoup)! Merci (beaucoup!) (Thank you (very much!)) Thank you is another polite expression that makes a good first impression. Good luck in your travels, and bring back plenty of good stories for your friends! Every travelers adventure is unique, and yours will be, too.

Whether you want to teach a jazz, hip hop, ballroom, or contemporary dance class, etc., here’s our advice for those wanting to start teaching private dance tutorials.Furthermore, self-employed dance instructors can also work towards opening their own dance academy, school, or dance company. Of course, this can come with more administrative tasks than your typical dance instructor is used to. You may have to hire dance studios if you don't have your own space as well as manage the finances of your new business (or find an accountant to do this for you).You could even go into a partnership with another enthusiastic dance tutor or administrator to make things easier.A private dance teacher could put together their own group of dancers and organise shows, performances, or workshops for their favourite dance styles. Rather than searching for a job and doing an audition, you get to be recruiter.There are plenty of ways to teach dancing in a professional capacity, it just depends on how you want to do it and what your expectations are.

By offering private tutorials on Superprof, anyone can get their dance classes on the market, regardless of the aforementioned factors. Start creating your profile today!How Much Should You Charge Per Hour for Dance Tutorials?This is a common issue faced by dance tutors: working out how much they should charge for an hour of dance tutorials.If you're offering a unique style of dance, you can look to charge more for your tutorials. (Source: sasint)You need to work out a fair rate for what you’re offering as an instructor. Low rates tends to put students off  who might believe that you’re inexperienced or unskilled, regardless of whether you actually are or not.High rates will also put off beginners who mightn’t be willing to pay such an amount for their new hobby or aren’t yet sure whether or not this is something they’ll commit to in the long term. You need to therefore find the right balance while earning enough money a nd remaining competitive.  Private dance tutorials generally cost between £15 and £30 per hour.A private dance tutor could earn the same hourly rate as someone at a music school with their weekly dance tutorials. In some cases, they might even earn as much as double if their students keep coming back. The most important thing is to get regular and loyal students who keep coming back for more lessons because they find them fun and educational.Here are some of the things you need to take into account when deciding upon your hourly rates:Where the lessons take placeYour qualifications as a teacherYour experience and the student’s experienceYour experience as a tutor and the type of instruction and choreographyThe average rates of the style of dance you’re teachingThe equipment you provide to your studentsThe type of facility where the lessons take place (dance hall, gym, classroom, etc.)Loyalty bonusesStudent feedback and testimonialsYour reputation as a dance tutorIt’s very ea sy to find the average rates of dance classes on Superprof: you just need to do a quick search for the type of dancing discipline you want to teach and where you’re going to teach it.You don’t necessarily have to teach students from where you live, either. Dance tutors can also offer online dance tutorials via Skype to students all over the country and the world. In order to set your rates for online teaching jobs, you should take into account both the content of your lessons as well as your experience as a tutor.  You should also consider teaching what you’re passionate about to budding dancers!

That is the question!You can still teach private dance tutorials without qualifications if you have the necessary teaching skills to effectively transfer your knowledge of the craft to aspiring dancers.On Superprof, you don’t necessarily need to have any dance qualifications to create your own tutor profile. Plenty of students say they prefer tutors with experience over tutors with qualifications!Nevertheless, if you want to teach in a dance academy, you’ll probably need official or recognised qualifications. In fact, these types of qualifications will act as proof of both your experience as well as your teaching skills and knowledge of the history of dance.Here are some of the different dance qualifications you’ll need to be dance academy, conservatoire, or school teacher:You’ll need at least a level 3 qualification (A Level) in dance or performing arts.It doesn’t hurt to have qualified teacher statu s (QTS) if you want to teach students about dance as part of a secondary school curriculum.You’ll need a postgraduate qualification in dance or performing arts if you want to teach at universities and/or conservatoires.As you can see, you may have to study an awful lot if you want to become a lecturer in a famous dance academy or school of dance.Additionally, you won’t just walk into one of these institutions the second you have your qualifications, you’ll be expected to have a lot of experience, too.Furthermore, obtaining these qualifications can take a lot of time. An undergraduate degree generally takes 3 years to complete and a postgraduate degree is 1 year. The PGCE (for those who are also considering teaching in state schools) also takes a year to complete.Once you’ve done all that, you’re ready to go (once you’ve got some experience!).Prepare Your First Dance TutorialIf you want to offer quality dance tutorials, you’re going to have to carry out an appraisal of your professional goals.You need to make sure that your classes are both fun and educational. (Source: habanera)Some tutors fall into the trap of offering the most popular types of dance classes. For example, contemporary dance classes, modern jazz classes, and ballet classes are popping up everywhere due to just how popular they are. This means it’s also very difficult to stand out from the crowd of other teachers offering exactly the same classes.If you want to become a reputable dance tutor, being original is a huge advantage.Whether you’re teaching at an academy or as a private tutor, tutors offering rarer styles such as kizomba, Oriental dance, Viennese waltz, etc. are often in demand.The tutor should also work out what level they’re going to teach (beginner, intermediate, or advanced) in order to make sure that their lessons meet the expectations of their students.On Superprof you can provide tutorials for a variety of different styles such as:Tap ClassesSports Dance Cla sses (Zumba, etc.)Argentine Tango ClassesCuban Salsa or Puerto Rican Salsa ClassesHip Hop Dance ClassesCha Cha Cha ClassesSwing ClassesFlamenco ClassesBachata ClassesOriental Dance ClassesRagga Dancehall ClassesBallroom Dance ClassesBollywood Dance ClassesOur advice is to offer variations on each style to help you stand out from the crowd and attract more students.Before starting their first dance tutorial, tutors should pay particular attention to their teaching style. The first lesson is generally an introduction to the course and the tutor will need to show the student how they’re going to achieve their goals and help them reach the level they want.The tutor should also probably look at reserving a dance hall or preparing their own personal dance studio. The equipment needed will depend on the student and the style of dance so the tutor might also consider offering equipment to students for free (having taken this into account when deciding upon their rates).Finally, the tutor should brush up on the subject matter before each lesson so that they’re ready to teach every student without running into any problems.Find out more about preparing your dance lesson plans.Becoming a Ballet TeacherBeing a ballet teacher is one of the hardest dance teacher jobs to get. You have to have had years of dance training as a child and complete your dance education at a recognised institution before you start applying to vacancies.That said, there's always demand for teachers and lots of children at some time or other want to learn how to become a ballet dancer. If you have the talent and the commitment, ballet is the way to go.The Best Tools for Teaching Dance TutorialsWhere would a teacher be without their professional equipment?Why not offer flamenco courses? (Source: 821292)Before offering private dance tutorials, tutors need to choose where they’re gong to teach as well as the clothes and shoes they’re going to need when they do. Furthermore, the tutor will also need to provide the music for their lessons. Of course, they can bring their own music or ask their student what kind of music they’d like to learn to dance with.The tutor can also use a variety of teaching resources when preparing and teaching their tutorials. In addition to the different exercises in class, teaching resources can be used by tutors at any point during their lessons (given that they’ve planned to use them then).To prepare a dance tutorial, tutors can use one or any of the following resources:Online Dance TutorialsDance ApplicationsOnline Dance VideosEducational Programmes for Learning to DanceDancing Guides and LiteratureOnline Dance Exercises, etc.Employers are posting new jobs all the time, make sure you're ready for them to hire you!

Maintaining Concentration in Mentally Exhausting Jobs - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / Maintaining Concentration in Mentally Exhausting Jobs - Introvert Whisperer Maintaining Concentration in Mentally Exhausting Jobs Some jobs are sprints, others are marathons. There are lots of roles, such as those in retail, hospitality and logistics, where you are likely to be bouncing between quiet, calm periods and busy, highly demanding periods several times in the same day. Others, such as marketing, copywriting and many office-based roles, are slow burning but taxing all the same. Spending all day sat at a desk doesn’t sound awfully tiring, but mental exhaustion is just as exacting as physical exertion. Here are some simple but valuable tips for staying as energetic as possible throughout your day. Eat little and often Snacking is often the bane of anybody who wants to keep in shape, yet spends their 9 to 5 sat at a desk. Despite the abundance of unhealthy snacks in the 21st century, this doesn’t have to result in a diet loaded with additives. In fact, nutritionists have stated that this is not detrimental to your health when done right, and is just as good for your body as a solid three meals a day. Smaller boosts of energy spread out amongst your working hours can be just what you need to prevent your concentration from flagging â€" just be sure it isn’t all sugar! Take mini breaks This is not to suggest you should start dictating your own work schedule over your manager, but there’s no harm in letting your mind and body take a quick breather from the screen and having to hold that horribly stiff computer desk pose. There’s nothing tricky in this; simply walk away from your desk. Get yourself a tea or coffee, nip to the toilet, go and restock on pens from the stationary cupboard. Anything that allows you to defocus and stretch your legs for a few minutes is ideal. Deliberately loitering is, of course, not going to go down well, but a small and meaningful reason to disengage from your keyboard could be all you need to recharge for the next couple of hours. Keep your desk clear A cluttered work space is a cliché for creative types, and in my experience it’s true more often than not. Trying to cope with a disorderly desk, however, is preventing you from numerous benefits. When your physical working area is clear and organised, your work life can see fantastic improvements such as greater focus, more freedom to be adaptive and a good reputation with your managers. Demonstrating your ability to keep things organised and tidy is a great indicator that you’re serious about your work and you’ll keep things in check, which can always lead to better opportunities down the road. Set daily goals Having small checkpoints for your work can make it much easier to get through a long list, particularly when used to break a big task or project down to simpler, bite-sized tasks. In project managing roles, this is referred to as a work breakdown structure (WBS), and it is commonly employed to help keep everyone involved on-track and focused on their individual goals. When combined with small rewards for yourself (such as that coffee break or a harmless bit of chocolate), you can make the work day far less daunting and almost turn it into a game of sorts. There are lots of ways you can make the work day flow easier, and the things that will work best depend on the kind of person you are. Maybe music keeps you focused, or perhaps any noise whatsoever is the concentration killer. Be open and communicative with your management, and see what they can help you incorporate â€" after all, they want you to work at your best, and you should too!

It’s a unique place where the popes, since the Middle Ages, have kept vast collections of art dating back to the Antiquity. The buildings at the Vatican City are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Vatican Museums, which is the 4th most popular museum in the world.The Vatican City, as the capital of Catholicism, has had a considerable influence on the world’s culture.  It’s home to a dozen museums that house sacred and profane art, Etruscan and Egyptian antiquities, and canvases from many famous painters including Michaelangelo.It draws in between 5 and 6 million visitors a year.Find out more about visiting the Vatican.How Can You Get to the Vatican?To get the most out of your trip to the Vatican (and Rome, subsequently), you’ll need to start by looking for flights from the UK.
