La Roux has shot down talk of girl power taking over the charts … because she thinks many female acts are rubbish.

Flame-haired Elly Jackson fronts the duo who have had a No.1 single with Bulletproof, a No.2 single with In For The Kill and a No.2 debut album, which was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize.

She and synth player, co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid have shared chart success this year with Lady Gaga, Florence And The Machine and Little Boots.

But Elly doesn’t think all the female acts are as strong.

She said: “There are a few strong girls, but there are a lot who are not all that strong. There have always been strong women in the charts. It comes in waves.

“I feel music’s in a transitional period. Half of it wants to go one way and half of it wants to go the other.

“A lot of it doesn’t really sit well together in the charts. There’s a fair amount of bland music out there.

“Girls will always be strong in the charts. It’s a really good platform for strong girls, more so than the film world. So I don’t see why it’s different now from at any other time.”

La Roux, who had to cancel their spot at T in the Park this summer, will play Glasgow O2 ABC on Monday, November 16 and will be back in Glasgow next year in May at the 02 Academy. They re-release first single Quicksand on November 23.

It was the song that put La Roux on all the “hot for 2009″ lists.

First released by independent record label Kitsun Music in December 2008, it helped them to get a deal with Polydor, who released their No.2 debut album.

Their first proper single, In For The Kill, has become one of the biggest selling songs of the year and went to No.2 in March, with Bulletproof hitting the top spot in June.

But Elly, who is the daughter of The Bill star Trudie Goodwin, doesn’t think La Roux’s three-year rise to the top has changed her.

She said: “I’ve tried really hard not not to let it. It would be easy when you have everything at your disposal. But I try to forget that and not to abuse it.”

TalkTalk is all set to initiate a new scheme to fight online piracy. The idea was unveiled by Carphone CEO Charles Dunstone, who asserted that he has come up with the best means to restrict illegal downloads. Carphone Warehouse is the parent company of TalkTalk broadband services - click best broadband provider for a run down of ISPs and their services.

Mr Dunstone revealed his plan of introducing a cinema-like system of age selection for household internet connections. The selection of the right age will obviously rest with the adults of the household. The concept is based on the assumption that many parents are completely unaware of their wards’ internet activities, and most of the times they do not even know their children are engaging in illegal downloading. Once the parent selects the right age, all content considered inappropriate for that age will be blocked from the specific location. Sites with file-sharing tools will also be blacklisted.

The move comes in the wake of plans of stern legislation to curb illegal downloading, including suspension of the offender’s broadband connection. The issue has been in the spotlight since a meeting was held last week in which musicians across the UK discussed about the growing menace of online music piracy.

If Mr Dunstone’s scheme is implemented, parents will be able to choose their ratings from options like UG, 14, 18 etc in order to put a screening process in place to prevent children from accessing content that are potentially dangerous, adult or are illegal. This will go a long way in checking illegal downloads of copyrighted files, believes Mr Dunstone.

The point of the surround speakers is to provide high and low level sound from other bits of the room, making a theatre-like feel in your house. The surround speaker placement will rely upon the dimensions of your room, the shape of the room, and the space needed for the speakers. Be creative and experiment with the position of these particular speakers across the room. Place the first pair to the right and to the left of your optimal listening position. This is often done in accordance with your position or just behind it.

These speakers should be placed at roughly ear level when you’re in a standing position. Experiment with the targeting of these speakers when mounted on the walls. Occasionally good results can be done when you point them up at the ceiling or back at the rear corners of the room. This system is therefore one of the least tricky to position.

Usually, you can position your house theater subwoofer anywhere in your room and still get good results. There isn’t any one perfect placement for any given home theater speaker and systems like the HTX810R by simplifying the setup and only having the subwooker and main speaker combo.

North London duo Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen AKA Lemon Jelly return with their unique brand of downbeat madness, melody and whimsical humour.

They’ve come a long way since 2000’s debut album “KY”, a compilation of their first three limited 10″ vinyl EP’s. A rapidly expanding fanbase and the release of 2002’s “Lost Horizon’s” were quickly followed by a Brit and Mercury Music Prize nominations. All of this would have undoubtedly piled the pressure on for their next album release, ‘64-’95, built around a selection of samples spanning those very dates.

The boys appear to have been up for the challenge delivering a wholly traditional Lemon Jelly album but unlike one we’ve seen before. Whilst there is still the abundance of annoyingly catchy piano loops, samples and simplistic melodies that have served them so well in the past, ‘64-’95 immediately appears more mature. Whilst not as instantly likeable as “Lost Horizon’s” this ensures greater longevity and is probably all the better for it.

Long, slow-building tracks like “Only Time”, “Don’t Stop Now” and the aptly titled “The Slow Train” are interspersed with Lemon Jelly’s own guitar anthems, “The Shouty Track” which samples Scottish punks The Scars and the Chemical Brother tribute track “Come Down On Me” which uses samples from the now defunct heavy-metallers Master of Reality. Additional contributions from Terri Walker and Star Trek’s very own William Shatner ensure that the boys deliver the kind of eclectic album we’ve now come to expect and love.

This is the first album they’ve made with an accompanying DVD, lovingly created by Airside, the design company consisting of 50% Deakin. All very incestuous but it really does work well. Now, in addition to the previously unique “Jelly” packaging & artwork, we are given visuals to enhance each track. How nice of them!

This all makes ‘65-’95 a complete Lemon Jelly “experience” rather than just another album and one well worth having.

There are beginner piano books begin by introducing five notes
i.e. CDEFG in right hand (RH) and CBAGF in left (LH) by using
the same fingers position such as on RH note C played by thumb,
D played by index finger, etc. On LH note C played by thumb, B
played by index finger, so on. I called as “five fingers same
position”.

The benefit is before added the new note, beginners have
practiced some similar exercises so they, especially kids will
not confused by rhythm, names and positions of notes.

Because of many exercises that using the same fingers position,
mostly kids tend to read the fingers numbers as notes positions.
For instance, they mean no. 1 on RH is C - always played by
thumb, no. 2 is D - always played by index finger and so on,
likewise on LH.

In early lessons, students seem fluently in notes reading but
the problem comes when start playing pieces with no “five
fingers same position”.

If students have to use “five fingers same position” books, as
teachers, we have to explain from the first lesson that one note
can be played by any fingers and fingers numbers are never
changed such as on RH no.1 always for thumb, no. 2 always for
index finger and so on, likewise on LH.

To make students remember the fingers numbers quickly, we can
ask them to play as fast as they can such as “Play C with finger
number 1. Now play C with finger number 2 and so on”. The kids
will love this fun game! Then ask them play the same piece with
any fingers by writing a new fingering on their book. For
instance, for RH play C with finger number 2, D with finger
number 3 and so on.

There is no perfect method in notes reading, as teachers, we can
only find the suitable one for each student by merging one
method with another. I prefer using “five fingers same position”
book at first lesson by using any kinds of fingers positions,
not just as written in book.

It is much benefit and easier to learn right at first than
re-learn after made mistakes. However, if students have made
misunderstandings on notes reading, no matter with our
‘own’ students that have been taking lessons with us
since their first day on piano lesson or transferred ones, just
do not ever blame them, their old teachers (for transferred
ones) and ourselves especially beginner teachers. It will not
make notes reading of students better.

The solution is re-teaching them as first lesson. Of course, it
needs much time, patiently and often rather difficult to train
‘a new habit’. The students could be frustrate and
complain but with fun game as I mentioned above, kids usually
enjoy the lesson again. If happens on teens or adults (so far, I
never found yet), we can support them by positive words so that
they have ‘new spirit’ to continue their lesson.
Moreover, as teachers, we should not ever stop learning.
