[News] [PR 10] 12/6/08 ANNOUNCING SPECIAL FINANCING DURING DECEMBER 2008

2008-12-06T10:50:00.001-08:00

[News] [PR 10] 12/6/08 ANNOUNCING *SPECIAL FINANCING* DURING DECEMBER 2008

This winter, USSCM is even more affordable!

NEWARK, Delaware - Saturday, December 6, 2008 - December is an ideal time to begin studies with USSCM. There is enough time to get a real head-start on your studies while it's winter outside (assuming you live north of the equator) and WINTER 2008 (December through February) is doubly special for students who don't want to pay for their tuition in a full lump sum. USSCM is experimenting with a no-interest program for partially delayed tuition payment. Here's how it works:

New students whose tuition is received by the 12th of a month will receive their first installment of materials by the 25th. If received later, shipment is guaranteed to be within one week. In January 2009, there will be a few days' hiatus in shipping, due to the MacWorld and NAMM Shows. Homework supervision will continue unabated, however.

· Design your program and determine how many microsmesters it will contain. (http://www.usschoolofmusic.com/catalog/indexenroll.html)
· Add one microsemester for every two electives you plan to take.
· Divide the sum by three to give the number of microsemesters in each segment.
· Also divide by three, your total tuition minus deductions for scholarships and discounts (but not the 10% discount for payment in full).

·· Your three equal installments are due in the last week of the microsemester prior to the next segment.

For more information, please go to http://www.usschoolofmusic.com/catalog/apply3.html

About the US School of Commercial Music
First founded in 1915, US School of Commercial Music continues a rich tradition as the oldest, most trusted name in distance music learning. Beginning in 1995, USSCM was the first institution to offer a college-level commercial music Diploma Program via online technology. Today, USSCM offers Diploma Programs in every major category of commercial music, as well as unique proprietary Certificate Courses with content unobtainable elsewhere. Recognizing that each music student has unique needs, USSCM's Matriculate(TM) online technology gives students the unparalleled flexibility to design the exact program they need by sequencing seven basic areas called "Modules": Performance & Improvisation, Schillinger System/LineWriting/Music Business, Advanced Improvisation, Melody/SongWriting & Linear Counterpoint, Arranging & Orchestration, Media Composition & Scoring and Music Production & Engineering. Each Module consists of 4 microsemesters of concentrated studies.

At the start of each microsemester, US School of Commercial Music students receive a large package of customized materials covering all their study subjects. Projects are recorded and returned to the college via the internet for rapid feedback. According to Professor Amaral of USSCM, "Choice and flexibility are great reasons to choose USSCM for your commercial music education." He continued, "USSCM has an approach unlike any other:
· It mixes proprietary materials with the best of published materials, which are evaluated and upgraded twice yearly.
· There are no distracting non-music 'academic' subjects, such as English or History.
· There is no internal competition for resources between a 'bricks and mortar' operation versus 'online'
· USSCM has only one agenda: a student's rapid progress on a personal "microsemester" pace, rather than keeping him or her in a too-lengthy "semester" program.
· Students work in all four rhythm section instrumental areas each microsemester.
· Students record homework in each subject.
· Feedback about homework is greatly facilitated by online communication and often seems immediate.
· USSCM tuition is realistic, with generous scholarships and discounts.
· USSCM programs offer students a level of choice and customization very difficult to achieve and manage with a 'classroom' model of course delivery."

US School of Commercial Music is the most economical way to acquire the knowledge and skills a commercial musician needs to compete and 'collect a paycheck' in today's noisy musical environment. USSCM students save considerable money by studying at home, anywhere in the world, and they may actually get a better education than at typical 'bricks and mortar' schools. While there is no substitute for working with fellow students shoulder to shoulder, student peers are seldom professionals. In comparison with many other schools and other approaches to commercial music study, USSCM exposes each student to a higher quality of music information, better accompaniments and professional presentations, because it upgrades materials on a semi-annual basis, with the primary requirement that it be the best information and most effective presentation available. By rising above the typical noise in music education, USSCM saves its students time, money and energy.

[News] [PR 3] 11/29/08 NEW DIPLOMA PROGRAM MODULES ANNOUNCED BY US SCHOOL OF COMMERCIAL MUSIC

2008-11-29T17:20:00.001-08:00

[News] [PR 3] 11/29/08 NEW DIPLOMA PROGRAM MODULES ANNOUNCED BY US SCHOOL OF COMMERCIAL MUSIC

The new modular structure makes possible comprehensive customizable
program choices.

NEWARK, Delaware - Saturday, November 29, 2008 - USSCM announced today several new
Diploma Program Modules. According to the USSCM catalog, the
descriptions of the modules are:

Performance & Improvisation (P&I) Module 4 microsemesters: In the
USSCM Performance & Improvisation Program, you will acquire a firm
foundation in such essential areas of music as:

* Eartraining, the skill to know and musically name what it is you are
hearing. * Harmony, the skill to recognize the harmonic sequences and
practices associated with historical musical styles. * Notation, the
art of clearly writing music which will be played by yourself and
others. * Arranging, the art and skill of creating modern charts for
performance by small groups or as overdubs. * Instrumental Technique,
the art of rapidly acquiring skill on your primary and secondary
instruments. * Improvisation, the art of real-time composition on your
primary and secondary instruments. * Ensemble Training, the essential
experience of playing with other great professional musicians through
the exclusive USSCM Faculty Minus One(tm) process. * Repertory, the
experience of exposure to and immersion in a wide variety of commercial
musical styles. (design your program now)

"Continue your program by choosing up to six other professional areas:
The core categories of study in each of the subsequent modules remain
the same (Eartraining, Harmony, etc.), but with increasing
sophistication; to these are added the relevant module materials for a
well-rounded program.

Schillinger System of Musical Composition ("Schillinger") Module 4
microsemesters: The world-famous Schillinger System is the advanced
tool for music analysis and generation that has been used very
successfully by such songwriters as George Gershwin, such improvisors
as Howard Roberts and a great many Hollywood film composers; for
example, it was the Schillinger System that Gershwin used to compose "I
Got Rhythm," and which HR used to develop the vocabulary of his
well-known solo style.

USSCM has modernized the Schillinger System for today's composers and
improvisors who wish to have a special professional edge in their
understanding of melodic and rhythmic development (which is perhaps the
most important shaping force in music). In the Schillinger Program,
USSCM brings the Schillinger System up to date; within the SSMC Module,
students also cover and compare such esoteric systems as JS Bach's
System of Chordscales, the George Russell Lydian Chromatic Concept,
Bill Leavitt's Melodic Chordscale System, Charlie Parker's System of
Jazz Improvisation, and several other useful approaches. To elect
Schillinger, you should have a working fluency with the subjects
covered in Melody/Songwriting/Linear Counterpoint and be prepared to
rapidly realize your work and record it as MP3 audio files.

Concentrations which require Arranging / Orchestration or Media Scoring
also require Schillinger. It should be noted that SSMC is a helpful
tool; not a major concentration.

Because every professional musician is a small business, the
Schillinger Module now includes music business courses such as
economics, financial management and investments, as they apply to the
music business. The Schillinger Module is the most appropriate one to
incorporate business studies, because its study stimulates the
mathematical functions of the brain.

Advanced Improvisation (AI) Module 4 microsemesters: In Performance &
Improvisation, we have laid the technical and stylistic groundwork
which includes Standards, Duke/Miles, Classics/Ballads, Latin/Bossa.
Advanced Improvisation continues, with the development of skills for
further important styles: Blues, Bebop, Fusion, Modern Jazz, etc.
Stylistic repertoire is continued appropriately in all the other
modules. While building repertoire, we continue the subject structure
outlined in Performance & Improvisation above, but the content becomes
increasingly advanced, covering all sorts of improvisational approaches
and theories applicable to modern commercial music.

Melody, Songwriting & Linear Counterpoint (MSLC) Module 4
microsemesters: To elect MSLC, you should have a working fluency with
Commercial Music Eartraining, Harmony, Notation, MP3 Recording
Techniques, a substantial Performance Repertory of important Commercial
Music styles, experience with Performance & Improvisation in Ensemble
settings and familiarity with the fundamentals of Arranging, all of
which are features of the USSCM P&I Module.

* as you build upon your P&I foundation, in the MSLC Module you will
acquire powerful techniques of melodic and thematic analysis with which
to explore a substantial but focused library of important music.
Equipped with new analytical skills and musical conditioning, you will
then turn to linguistic analysis and apply it to both rapid song
composition and real-time improvisation.

Finally, as an essential component of the development of a personal
style, you will explore the balance between the vertical and linear
aspects of music through the creation of a wide range of projects from
modern 'chorales' to contemporary 'fugues'. In the MSLC Module, not
only songwriters and composers, but also guitarists and keyboardists
will benefit from a full elaboration of these techniques on their
primary and secondary instruments.

Business courses included in the SongWriting Module include Selling and
Sales, which are essential professional tunesmith activities.

Arranging / Orchestration (A/O) Module (prerequisite: Schillinger
System Module) 4 microsemesters: Students who elect A/O should have a
working fluency with the concepts of the MSLC and SSMC Modules. In the
USSCM A/O Program, you will acquire dexterity in your creative use of
the mechanics of ensemble expression within various musical settings
and production situations.

* You will acquire the techniques of Jazz Composition, Arranging for
Large Ensembles, Writing for Strings and Principles of Orchestration.
Projects include writing and realizing scores of various size ensembles
and studio orchestras.

Media Scoring (MS) Module (prerequisites: Schillinger System (S) and
Arranging/Orchestration (Ork)) 4 microsemesters: USSCM students who
elect Media Scoring will have achieved, as a prerequisite, the subjects
covered in P&I, MSLC, SSMC, A/0 and, as an important byproduct of their
studies, a practical understanding of the recording and overdubbing
process. In the MS Program, you will take your skills to the next level
as you learn how to synchronize musical recordings to visual media such
as film, video, etc. You will accomplish projects in several important
Commercial Music forms and styles, including Jingles (the art of
musical merchandising), Commercials (the art of audiovisual
persuasion), Trailers (coming attractions) and Filmscores (the art of
enhancing the audience's emotional experience of a movie).

By artfully blending the skills of the arranger, composer, performer
and engineer, today's film, video and CD-ROM composers are specialists
who command good salaries and have interesting work in the fastest
growing area of the music business. Multimedia composers are found
everywhere the visual and aural arts meet.

Music Production & Engineering (MPE) Module 4 microsemesters: For
maximum flexibility, the MP&E module may be added to any USSCM program,
or taken right after P&I.

USSCM's philosophy is to train musicians first and engineers second,
because engineers who are musicians understand the needs of clients and
the intricacies of the medium much better than those who don't play.
Secondly, USSCM aims for its students to understand the underlying
principles of the sciences of vibration, acoustics and electronics so
that they can make informed purchase decisions and acquire the skills
to use music technology despite changes in the technological terrain
which always progress with time. Thirdly, Production & Engineering
students are given business studies unique to the
recording/distribution business which are not covered as business
studies in the Schillinger program.

About the US School of Commercial Music First founded in 1915, US
School of Commercial Music continues a rich tradition as the oldest,
most trusted name in distance music learning. Beginning in 1995, USSCM
was the first institution to offer a college-level commercial music
Diploma Program via online technology. Today, USSCM offers Diploma
Programs in every major category of commercial music, as well as unique
proprietary Certificate Courses with content unobtainable elsewhere.
Recognizing that each music student has unique needs, USSCM's
Matriculate(TM) online technology gives students the unparalleled
flexibility to design the exact program they need by sequencing seven
basic areas called "Modules": Performance & Improvisation, Schillinger
System/LineWriting/Music Business, Advanced Improvisation,
Melody/SongWriting & Linear Counterpoint, Arranging & Orchestration,
Media Composition & Scoring and Music Production & Engineering. Each
Module consists of 4 microsemesters of concentrated studies.

At the start of each microsemester, US School of Commercial Music
students receive a large package of customized materials covering all
their study subjects. Projects are recorded and returned to the college
via the internet for rapid feedback. According to Professor Amaral of
USSCM, "Choice and flexibility are great reasons to choose USSCM for
your commercial music education." He continued, "USSCM has an approach
unlike any other: · It mixes proprietary materials with the best of
published materials, which are evaluated and upgraded twice yearly. ·
There are no distracting non-music 'academic' subjects, such as English
or History. · There is no internal competition for resources between a
'bricks and mortar operation' versus 'online' · USSCM has only one
agenda: a student's rapid progress on a "microsemester" pace, rather
than keeping him or her in a too-lengthy "semester" program. · Students
work in all four rhythm section instrumental areas each microsemester.
· Students record homework in each subject. · Feedback about homework
is greatly facilitated by online communication and often seems
immediate. · USSCM tuition is realistic, with generous scholarships and
discounts. · USSCM programs offer students a level of choice and
customization very difficult to achieve and manage with a 'classroom'
model of course delivery."

US School of Commercial Music is the most economical way to acquire the
knowledge and skills a commercial musician needs to compete and
'collect a paycheck' in today's noisy musical environment. USSCM
students save considerable money by studying at home, anywhere in the
world, and they may actually get a better education than at typical
'bricks and mortar' schools. While there is no substitute for working
with fellow students shoulder to shoulder, student peers are seldom
professionals. In comparison with many other schools and other
approaches to commercial music study, USSCM exposes each student to a
higher quality of music information, better accompaniments and
professional presentations, because it upgrades materials on a
semi-annual basis, with the primary requirement that it be the best
information and most effective presentation available. By rising above
the typical noise in music education, USSCM saves its students time,
money and energy.

Known as "the thinking man's hillbillies," Homer Haynes and Jethro Burns got a lot of mileage out of an act that shouldn't have lasted or gone as far as it did, at least on the surface of things. Certainly there were other, far more established duos mining similar turf on the country music circuit, with Lonzo & Oscar leading the way. But Homer & Jethro were far more than just two hayseeds doing cornball send-ups of pop tunes. Underneath the cornpone facade were two top-flight musicians with a decidedly perverse sense of humor and a keen sense of satire.

It was in the late '40s into the 1950s, basing themselves out of the Windy City, that the duo hit their true stride. Their first big hit was a takeoff on "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with a quite young June Carter contributing on vocals. The success of this single brought them to the attention of powerful radio station WLS, thus securing Homer & Jethro a regular spot on the National Barn Dance. Joining in 1949, the duo would stay faithful to the original version of the Grand Ole Opry, staying with the show until 1958. The national hookup did wonders for their career, which got an added boost when they started working double duty as regulars on Don McNeil's Breakfast Club, one of the top-rated morning-radio chat shows of its time, also based out of Chicago. The 1950s found them scoring big with numerous guest shots on television. The beauty of Homer & Jethro (as opposed to another country novelty act) was that they could work anywhere and be understood. They could be on the bill with Roy Rogers or trading cornball putdowns with Jimmy Dean or slickly one-upping Johnny Carson, and they always held their own. They made many recordings with Nashville legend Chet Atkins.

We apologize for the bad link on 11-19, a most inspiring video.

So one day, Bill Leavitt called me into his office at Berklee and said I want you to hear something.

When I got there, I found this 13 year old kid with a Travis Bean aluminum guitar. I seem to remember that he had it over his shoulder or on his lap and was tapping jazz solos with his right hand and comping with his left.

He was already really good. I heard him again over the years a few times, always playing alone; he didn't seem to be able to play with others.

Well, as this video attests, he's left that problem behind!

[In review] 11/16/08 BIRDCAT 1

FROM Prof. John Amaral (above with former student Kevin Eubanks of the Tonight Show
with Jay Leno) for US School of Commercial Music (www.usschoolofmusic.com)

Dear fellow online Musician,

These days, you have several opportunities for professional training in
the Music Industry. Please consider making USSCM online learning your
preferred choice.

I'm writing to tell you about the exciting, better way we have
developed to teach and train the skills and knowledge needed by a
professional musician or serious musical hobbyist. We think it's better
than many of the other choices you may have. Here's why:

· Complete wide-ranging programs that are fun, thorough and exciting!
· Special relevant courses unavailable elsewhere.
· Better, more up-to-date materials, technologies and assignments.
· Nearly-instant feedback on each assignment via the internet.
· Incomparably thorough hands-on music making experience.

We enjoy helping musicians progress rapidly to their full potentials
and feel this is particularly relevant in today's troubled world, because musicians are universal ambassadors for humanity. USSCM's
programs are far more affordable than those of other schools, on or off
the internet. In fact, no other music college offers full programs on
the web. If you, or someone you know, may benefit from a college-level

[News] [PR 1] 11/16/08 COMMERCIAL MUSIC CAREER TRAINING THAT'S COMPETITIVE AND AFFORDABLE

2008-11-16T12:27:00.001-08:00

[News] [PR 1] 11/16/08 COMMERCIAL MUSIC CAREER TRAINING CAN BE
COMPETITIVE AND AFFORDABLE

NEWARK, Delaware - Sunday, November 16, 2008 - When talented young people seek
advice about careers in commercial music, only a few schools may first come to
mind. But such education is generally expensive and historically only
places about 10% of its graduates within the Music Industry. That's
quite a gamble!

US School of Commercial Music offers an alternative for precocious
self-starters the opportunity to get a first-class commercial music
college education at home by leveraging the best features of online
technology to improve the learning experience. USSCM is a leader in
distance learning that has roots going back to the beginning of the
20th century. Today, it is the only distance learning institution which
offers complete Diploma programs in Commercial music.

USSCM students record all their homework and send it as soon as it's
finished for immediate feedback by seasoned professional musicians.
This introduces two efficiencies into the learning process which are
unique to USSCM: students get plenty of audio recording experience
right from the beginning of their studies and, even more importantly,
they get feedback about their work while it is still fresh in their
minds. The USSCM approach has many other advantages, which are
discussed on the school's website.

There are two common issues students and guardians face: the cost of
tuition and whether the student can make a decent living in music.
USSCM costs only a fraction of an equivalent college's tuition, on the
order of 10% of the typical cost. While there are several components to
the latter issue, such as the intangibles of talent and determination,
the low cost of USSCM makes finding out whether one 'has what it takes'
a much less financially-risky venture. Since USSCM issues diplomas not
degrees, the primary focus is music; there are no distracting general
education requirements -- which shortens the learning time. For those
who feel the need, this can leave time and money for getting a business
together or working on another degree after you develop your trade
competency.

USSCM Director, John Amaral, has said, "We often recommend that
students first get themselves together musically, then get
college-level training in business, because every career musician is a
small-business."

There is one final point that is worth mentioning: commercial music is
taught at only a few schools, despite what claims may be made! Students
should be advised to study at an institution known for training
professional commercial musicians, not a typical music school, which
generally have traditional, conservatory approaches.

Here is a comparison of typical tuition costs. The second number in
each group includes living expenses:

Berklee College of Music (8 semesters) $88,000/$136,000
US School of Commercial Music (12 microsemesters) $10,125/$10,125
Musicians's Institute MI/GIT (16 quarters) $80,000

About the US School of Commercial Music: US School of Music was founded
in 1915. USSCM continues this rich tradition as the oldest,
most trusted name in distance music learning. In1995, USSCM
became the first institution to offer a college-level commercial music
Diploma Program via online technology. Today, USSCM offers Diploma
Programs in every major category of commercial music, as well as unique
proprietary Certificate Courses with content unobtainable elsewhere.
Recognizing that each music student has unique needs, USSCM's
Matriculate(TM) online technology gives students the unparalleled
flexibility to design the exact program they need by sequencing seven
basic areas called "Modules": Performance & Improvisation, Schillinger
System/LineWriting/Music Business, Advanced Improvisation,
Melody/SongWriting & Linear Counterpoint, Arranging & Orchestration,
Media Composition & Scoring and Music Production & Engineering. Each
Module consists of 4 microsemesters of concentrated studies.

At the start of each microsemester, US School of Commercial Music
students receive a large package of customized materials covering all
their study subjects. Projects are recorded and returned to the college
via the internet for rapid feedback. According to Professor Amaral of
USSCM, "Choice and flexibility are great reasons to choose USSCM for
your commercial music education." He continued, "USSCM has an approach
unlike any other: · It mixes proprietary materials with the best of
published materials, which are evaluated and upgraded twice yearly. ·
There are no distracting non-music 'academic' subjects, such as English
or History. · There is no internal competition for resources between a
'bricks and mortar' operation versus 'online' · USSCM has only one
agenda: a student's rapid progress on a personal "microsemester" pace,
rather than keeping him or her in a too-lengthy "semester" program. ·
Students work in all four rhythm section instrumental areas each
microsemester. · Students record homework in each subject. · Feedback
about homework is greatly facilitated by online communication and often
seems immediate. · USSCM tuition is realistic, with generous
scholarships and discounts. · USSCM programs offer students a level of
choice and customization very difficult to achieve and manage with a
'classroom' model of course delivery."

US School of Commercial Music is the most economical way to acquire the
knowledge and skills a commercial musician needs to compete and
'collect a paycheck' in today's noisy musical environment. USSCM
students save considerable money by studying at home, anywhere in the
world, and they may actually get a better education than at typical
'bricks and mortar' schools. While there is no substitute for working
with fellow students shoulder to shoulder, student peers are seldom
professionals. In comparison with many other schools and other
approaches to commercial music study, USSCM exposes each student to a
higher quality of music information, better accompaniments and
professional presentations, because it upgrades materials on a
semi-annual basis, with the primary requirement that it be the best
information and most effective presentation available. By rising above
the typical noise in music education, USSCM saves its students time,
money and energy.

At www.usschoolofmusic.com, prospective students may read about course
offerings, initiate inquiries, design their program, determine tuition
costs, scholarship elgibility, financing options and aid, fill out and
submit their application, print their learning agreement for faxing,
and much more. Also from the college homepage, students, alumni and
industry professionals may access several useful resources: Music
Industry News, USSCM News, MI Jobs, USSCM Forum and USSCM Internet
Radio.

(Motown stuff was cut without contracts from 1963 on for Earl along with the rest of the studio musicians: Supremes, Four Tops etc.), tons of albums throughout the years with the above artists also. I know "Spanish Eyes" and other hits with Al Martino fit in there somewhere, done at Capitol, just not mentioned in this list which is only the tip of the iceberg. Later ones such as Bonnie Raitt also, he used to talk about her, admiringly.

It's safe to say Earl played drums on a great deal of the Elec. Prunes stuff, the Dave Axelrod things, the Henry Mancini recordings, and the Bobby Darin things as well as a *lot* of the Phil Spector dates, Sonny & Cher, and many of the top classy acts like Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney etc.

Some TV shows which include: M Squad, 77 Sunset Strip, Bourbon St. Beat, Hawaiian Eye, Peyton Place, I Dream of Jeannie, Green Acres, Ironside, The Outsider, It Takes a Thief, The Leslie Uggams Show, The Brady Bunch, Della, The Partridge Family, The Odd Couple, The Pearl Bailey Show, MASH 1972-83, The Midnight Special

from Carol: Note...Earl did a LOT more than the above which was taken from his book as well as from contracts too....I played on a lot of the above credits with him but there's many more like the Bobby Darin's "Beyond The Sea" that's not listed. That is Earl on those drum paradiddle fills, something he innovated and only he could play those like that.
