Links of Interest- Music

Being a creative person, music is one of my main interests. Whenever I have a spare moment, I will be switching on the television to watch the music channels, listening to the radio or to my I-pod on the train. I used to stay in every Friday night when I was younger to watch ‘Top of the Pops’ and even had the opportunity to dance on the show on one occasion!

Music is one of the reasons that I love to dance as I feel that for me, dancing is mostly an expression of the music. I enjoy going to watch live performances, especially of current artists who can dance and sing well together such as Justin Timberlake, The Pussy Cat Dolls, Britney and Beyonce. I believe that presently Beyonce is a great innovator in music as well as dance, and has really taken the choreographic content of her performance to another level. I love the fact that the entire purpose of this video is the dance routine, that there is nothing to distract you from the movement.

Although, I mainly listen to the current chart music, I do listen to other genres, in particular musical theatre as it is important for me to if I want to work professionally in this area. It also gives me ideas of songs I can sing at auditions. I obtain most of my sheet music for auditions from a website called:

You can search for the digital sheet music of the song you like, pay over the internet and then print off the music from you’re printer at home. It’s quick and easy, and very useful to me if I get called to a last minute audition.
