A singing teacher's view of American Idol

http://www.amytriebenbach.com
On 12. 21. 06 Molly wrote
I was thinking tonight of the appeal of American Idol, the TV Show.
One thing we see in our American Icons such as Elvis, and Bob Dylan, or Judy Garland is that those artists are not just singers, they are venerated as American Idols.
If you want to go straight up as an artist then you should learn your music and work hard and go on American Idol.
As a singer-songwriter and singing teacher I am not surprised with the success of American Idol. I mean, as a little kid growing up in Toronto in the sixties I was hooked on a popular Sunday afternoon show called, "Tiny Talent Time." Does anyone remember that show?
It was sweet. It was exciting. It was NOT the gong show. If you've got the guts, make a bold move and head on over to your nearest metropolis and audition for "American Idol," but if you fail please don't give up your dream, it is closer to reality than you think.
Wanna get knocked down? Go to Music school.
I went through the College way of becoming a singer...facing the dreaded GENERAL RECITAL once a week where you sat in front of your peers and singing instructor, who each volunteered their critique of your singing. Believe me, it was a lot worse than American Idol because you weren't just being critcized by a panel of official artists or producers in front of people who could actually help your career, but you were criticized by your peers and instructor who did little for you except tell you how you sucked. Why did their views matter so much to me back then? I mean, it made me feel inadequate enough being judged by my instructor, but getting the disapproval of my fellow students hurt.
Nevertheless, the comments were meant to help! It was hard to accept it. It was difficult, and they told you what you wouldn't hear from fam and friends. They spoke their thoughts.
It did teach me the musical development life can be cold, cruel and ego-bashing, alright, but that is really the way it goes.
Sonny Boy and I have been performing at independent living and assisted-living, nursing homes, and special homes lately. Do you think it is easy for the employees there to deal with the irritable sick and aged? They say things just as bad as celebrity judges, and they say them to nice people with talent and kindness. Not folks starving for attention with intonation problems, and weak pipes.
You know who needs to be celebrated now don't you? Those healthcare workers.
American Idol just tells me what I think is clearly the choice of each singer going in for that competition, if you are going to take your best shot be prepared to feel your worst and if you can just suck it up and look good maybe you will win the opportunity of a lifetime, otherwise, stay home and be like the kids I went to college went, armchair critics, and don't embarrass yourself.
If you want to toughen your hide then work with some crabby folks. They will verbally abuse you and you'll say, "Ah well, what can you do?" Smile and decide to progress in your career.
One thing about respect, you must respect your artistry and seek the honest truth. Critics do matter. However, never, ever, ever give up!
Just take it from there and continue your musical and artistic development. Also, if you arn't too nervous, if you are starving for attention, if you know inside you have obvious celebrity potential along with great musical talent and you feel you can survive the trial by fire of American Idol auditions you may just have the chance of a lifetime.
Those people on "American Idol" are like my peers and me in the Vocal Music Dept., they are there because they want to be.

R & R beat Holiday Fatigue

Is there any wonder we all get nuts during the holidays?
Add sentimentality, lack of proper sleep, and the time crunch and what we have is a bunch of screaming babiies in need of a nap!
Molly and Sonny Boy suggest cat naps...think of your cat, or take our 2 cats affectionately known to Molly and Sonny boy as "R & R": Rascal, and Romeo..they are selfish little furballs, and they don't care. Their full-time job is to be furry and cute..and to sleep around the house.
They sleep on the dining room chairs, move to the couch, upstairs to the bed, then to the divan in the hallway..at night they are like rockstars running out and in and doing what they darn well please...but they KNOW THE POWER OF R & R.
So please, don't turn into one of those cranky, screaming creepy folks you see in the shopping lines, and Post Office, just do what a Rascal and Romeo do...lie back, and close your eyes and for just 45 minutes have a bit of R & R.
This tip courtesy of a unique, and musical pair, Molly and Sonny Boy.
Musically yours, and keeping it loose!

Nursing homes and Assisted-Living Centers + You Tube Surprise

Hi Everyone,
Hope the Holidays don't get you down. We are trying to spread holiday cheer and goodwill by performing for a bunch of nursing homes and assisted living centers. The experiences we have had so far are priceless.
Last night, Molly almost assisted an elderly man to escape his nursing home..the guy wanted out of the building so Molly held the door open for him while he wheeled by, that is, until the alarm went off and Molly had to rope him back in.
Today at one of our assisted living gigs an elderly lady from Texas pulled out her harmonica and surprised us by playing along with us during our performance. We could never just up and leave after any of the gigs because the old folks want to share so much like the one lady who has 10 kids and 72 grandkids..she can name them all for you if you ask.
Here is a link to a video that is priceless when you are feeling blue. Make sure to watch all of it and show it to your mum.

Molly and Sonny Boy know all about japenese towels and such, and soon you will learn the real meaning of surprise!!
Sincerely funny,
Molly and Sonny Boy

Successful Musicians May We Pick Your Brain?

Molly and Sonny Boy don't want to be wasting time online if we don't see any results. As you can tell we do a lot of marketing on the internet.

What experiences online have been successful for you in promoting your band? Is there a way to promote our music to podcasters, and is it worth it?

While the internet is a great past-time we firmly believe that practicing our songs, gigging, sell CD's in person and doing radio interviews and getting press are important to real results.

Any other ideas about how we should market our duo here in MN?

Is it worth it to send CD"s out for reviews or is that just throwing one's money away?

How about enlisting other artists to help be our agents and vice versa?
When you give someone a hot tip and they get a good gig, do you ask for money? Should you, and if you don't do you expect the favor in return?

Can we realistically network as musicians and help each other out? Or is there a competition acting as a barrier between musicians?

How important is it that musicians have a niche, and how do you get one?
How do you find your audience and keep them coming back for more?
Any info is appreciated.
Musically,
Molly and Sonny Boy

Voice tips for Singers during the wintertime

Voice Tips:

Losing your voice, or damaging your vocal cords is no fun.
As a professional voice instructor, I just want to drop 3 tips to my friends about good singing during the Holidays because cold weather and dry air are not friends to the singer!

1. Drink lots of hydrating fluids like Klarbrunn, and warm liquids (not hooch...that drys you out!)
2. Warm up your voice K? How about a few yawn-sighs, and some do-re-mi's for awhile. Wear a scarf like Josh Grobin does.
3. Mic yourselves right. Don't strain at the bit, and make sure your sound guy (yes, even if the sound guy is you) turns up the gain on your voice amp. No shouting...unless you do it properly supported and your vocalis muscles are sturdy, strong and well-rested!

That's it for now. Any questions or comments...I'm happy to help.
Who doesn't want to be a rock and roll star with a record contract..so singers take great care of your voices!

Since 1990, Molly and Sonny Boy, known to their families as Amy Triebenbach, and Dr. James Zents have been performing music professionally in various venues, and with different bands. It wasn't until 2005 that Molly and Sonny Boy began performing regularly together as a creative singer-songwriter team.
The two members of the music duo, Molly and Sonny Boy, have a breath of experience in music performance, and entertaining groups of music-lovers.
Molly, whose real name is Amy Triebenbach began her musical studies when she was a child growing up in Toronto, Canada. After marrying an American, and moving to southern Minnesota, Amy attended Minnesota State University Mankato and got a degree in vocal education. Along with being a performer, and a composer, Amy teaches private singing lessons, and in the public school system at the Lafayette Charter school in Lafayette, Minnesota. Along with being an excellence singer, Amy also plays the piano, the guitar, the mandolin, and the ukulele. Amy's singing ranges in styles from the Jazz idiom, to opera, to pop music, to folk music, and to the blues. You'll hear her singing on this three tracks CD we are submitting to you, and you can judge for yourselves as to what you feel her singing is worth.
Sonny boy, whose real name is James Zents, is a seasoned performer with over 50 years of music-making. Ever since he was a child growing up in upstate New York, Sonny Boy has been rabidly exploring, creating and stretching the boundaries of his musical creativity. Sonny Boy is the original Guitar Hero. You'll notice his fine playing on the CD, and his incredible arrangements of the holiday songs, you are about to hear.
It is difficult to describe the genre of Molly and Sonny Boy's. Suffice it to say, they are singer-songwriters, yet they also enjoy performing music from a variety of popular music artists, embracing the cover songs of the 20th and 21st century, yet interpreting the blues, jazz, country, and classic rock songs in their own unique way.
Since this promo kit is featuring their holiday music, we will share their particular interpretation of the holiday songs that you will enjoy.
Molly and Sonny boy have performed for many special events. Due to their small band size, they are often seen performing at places such at the Sugar room, in Mankato, Minnesota, the Coffee Hag in Mankato, the Holiday Inn in New Ulm, the summer performance series in southern Minnesota, such as the Community Concert Series in New Ulm. Because Sonny Boy is a the leader in the medical community, along with being an emergency-room medical physician, he is often willing to perform many charitable events. Molly and Sonny Boy volunteer many hours performing at charitable event such as the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life Benefit, and the Lions Club, and the United Way Day of Caring.

Peace, and love M. and S.B.
