27 ideas to make your recitals rock
Do you ever wonder how those teachers do it? Those that seem to hold recitals that look out-of-the-ball-park amazing? Me, too. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be a big, extravagant change in what you normally do at your recitals to make them rock. Sometimes adding one fresh or clever touch can make all the difference.
So, here's a post featuring 27 ideas (big and small.) I hope at least one grabs you and that you can implement it at your next recital--yes, even that one coming up next month!
TWO EXTRA SPECIAL contributors, Wendi Stunzi (Back Porch) and Benny Wollin (Backing Tracks) wrote wonderful articles with specific details on how they make recitals stand out. Thank you for generously sharing.
Do you have an outstanding ideas (big OR small) that rocked your recital that should be added to this list? We'd all like to hear about it!
Change up the venue
1. Back porch
By Wendi Stunzi
"Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!" It is that time of year and my studio students just recently performed in our annual Halloween Recitals! And as always, it was a huge success!
It is one of my most favorite times of year for excitement, creativity, expressive music, and just plain fun! And the students simply love it! Each year, I begin with a fun piano incentive that promotes learning throughout the year, but then comes Halloween! And my students just "Eat it up!" And I truly mean that. They select music that has numerous elements to work on from expression, counting, and to rewriting their pieces to reflect even more creative moods. It is a great time for all of the students to work on composing and really exaggerating their dynamics to hopefully, have the audience sitting on the edge their chairs as well as being surprised with what happens next.
Every year, my entire family gets involved with each aspect. From our own Halloween costumes to all the little details that make this a very special event. When I first began Halloween recitals, it started off as simple group lessons and has evolved into wonderful performances with little stress for my students. They learn their pieces, some memorized and some not, they plan their dynamics and any other creative things like adding other instruments to their pieces or movements and simply have a great time!
This year, we decided to turn the front porch of our home into a Haunted Porch with plenty of lights, tons of Pumpkins, and other decorations. My porch happens to be extremely large and has a gazebo so I placed a piano in the middle of the gazebo and had chairs for parents and friends. The students only complaint was that I didn't move my baby grand or concert grand into the gazebo. A good experience that you can play on any type of piano and still enjoy!
After everyone's performance, it was "date night" for my parents and a party for the students. We set up a large movie screen for our "Movie Night," on the lawn and had lots of good food to eat. It's a great time for the students to just enjoy being with their piano friends and make new friends too. We served pizza, fresh popcorn, all kinds of cookies, and even had hot chocolate. I set things up in stations so the children could easily get to everything. Students brought their own chairs and blankets for afterwards to watch the movie with and of course, I had extra's for those that forgot.
A new thing that we added this year, were Pumpkin Lanterns that were a great success. They were like hot air balloons and as large as some of the students. We divided the students into small groups and carefully unfolded the pumpkins, in order to light them. As the flame increased, the pumpkins took flight and you should have heard the " Ooh La Las, and Oh Mys!" as they flew away.
To say the least, it was indeed a huge success and so much fun! And when parents returned for pick up, it was please can we stay longer!! So here's to another year of Halloween recitals and what can I do to top this next year?
2. Retirement home
For a number of years, I've enjoyed holding recitals at a local retirement home. Instead of giving Christmas gifts to my students, I now give them supplies for a craft to be completed during group lessons that generates a lovely gift to the residents of the retirement home. The residents ADORE them.
Read more about it here.
3. Whole Foods
There's a large flagship Whole Foods close to our house and years ago, I asked if I could place a piano in the balcony area so that students could share their favorite holiday pieces in a casual environment. Fast forward...now our local MTA association holds a Halloween recital there every October. Of course the students wear costumes!
4. Clubhouse
When my church did not let me hold a spring recital in the sanctuary, it forced me to think outside the box. Our neighborhood has a lovely, recently remodeled clubhouse. It even had a large screen HDTV where I showed slides of students' original compositions!
Read all about it here.
5. Virtual world
One way to avoid the hassle of finding a venue is to create videos instead. Amber Danielson did just that but made the videos hot hot hot with the magic of a green screen. It requires a bit of know-how in order to pull off her dynamic videos. Good news! Amber tells us how in a past post.
Read all about it here.
6. Living room
One year, two of siblings could not attend my Christmas recital so they held their own "private" recital inviting friends and neighbors to their home. I was invited, too. It was such a warm, cozy environment!
Integrate technology
7. Use exciting backing tracks
By Benny Wollin
Piano Plus Playback is a series of pedagogical piano pieces made by me, Benny Wollin (Voh-LEEN). I'm a teacher, composer, and father in Appleton, Wisconsin. These pieces are composed expressly for being played together with a playback (or backing track). Using them is as simple as playing the playback from any device, and joining in at the piano's entrance.
The pieces were originally written in 2016 for my own students, each piece being customized to their technical level and their personality. Not only were these pieces intended to motivate the students, but they were a way to work on various essential musical skills, particularly relating to ensemble playing and recording:
listening to the playback and matching it expressively
staying in time with the playback (playback tracks, much like a recording session in a studio, are merciless in this regard)
exposing students to a broad spectrum of musical styles, from Electronic to Renaissance
Additionally, writing my own music allowed me to film and distribute students' performances. This serves as a record and a memory for them, but also as a type of performance. Grandparents who couldn't come to recitals because of health or location could now see their grandkids performing. I give explicit permission with each work downloaded from my store to record, film, and distribute it without any of the usual legal hurdles.
Several pieces on my website are completely free. They can be found here.
In addition, here's a coupon that is valid through the end of November. Use the code 50FOR88 to get 50% off any purchase (that comes out to $3 a piece!).
You can see all the pieces performed in this YouTube playlist (each piece links to the corresponding page on the website here.
Or you can browse the store directly (note that you can sort pieces by level and style using the product filters) here.
How does it work?
It's quite simple. You learn the piece from the sheet music just like you would learn any other piece. Except that once you've learned it, you can turn on the playback to accompany you - and you'll sound that much more amazing. The playback comes as an .mp3 file, so all you need is something to play it on (like your phone) and a loudspeaker. Instant awesome.
What are the advantages to compared to regular piano pieces?
Aside from the fact that it's incredibly fun and satisfying to play with the playback - the biggest advantage is that you get to work on your ensemble playing: your ability to play together with other musicians. Of course, a playback will never be responsive the way playing with other people live would be, but it includes instruments and sounds that you wouldn't normally get to play with otherwise (unless you can afford a backing orchestra). It also makes for a great recital piece. Can you imagine how much this piece would stand out at a student recital?
What's included?
Every Piano Plus Playback piece includes the following files:
Sheet Music: A score of the piano part.
Fullspeed Playback: You would use this for your performances.
90% Playback: A slightly slower version, mainly for practicing purposes. Not recommended for performing with.
Metronome Version: Just the piano part plus a metronome, so you can hear your part and check your progress.
Background Images: Two different background images that match the theme and mood of the piece. You can use these if you want to use a projector to add a visual element to your performance. (The official music video, as seen above, uses these background images).
Original Manuscript: A scan of the original handwritten score and notes of the composer. (not all Piano Plus Playback pieces contain this)
Again, you can use the code 50FOR88 to get 50% off any purchase, and that's besides the pieces that are totally free!
Check out Benny's store here.
8. Feature student original compositions
For a number of years, I've asked students to create original compositions
and cover art. They notate their work in an online program called Noteflight. When the final scores are completed, we make a video and then link the video to a QR code. The code is printed on stickers which are then added to their composition cover. It makes for quite a wonderful recital and a life-long gift to the students and parents to treasure for years and years.
Read all about it here.
9. Give student-specific awards
Every spring recital, my students get a trophy. They don't earn it for practicing more than any one else. They get one for making it through another year of piano. I like to highlight something special about the student when I present the trophy so that the audience gets to know a little more about the pianists.
10. Include an original pop medley
Four seniors created a pop music medley for their Senior Showcase (see below.) They each drafted their own lead sheet and gave instructions to the others on what to play and how to play it. You'll notice the projected slides feature pictures of the pop artists as they play their melody.
Read more about it here.
11. Arrange an original Christmas medley
These three sisters wanted to play a duet together but their skills did not match up with the repertoire I had on hand. Therefore, we created a trio out of a simple piano arrangement of the "Sugar Plum Fairy". Once you hear it, you'll know why the trio had to be renamed to "Sugar Plump Fairy."
Choose a Theme
12. Beach party
One year, I had students vote on a theme for the spring recital. It was pretty unanimous--everyone wanted to go to the beach. They were allowed to wear beach clothing (modest of course) and I rounded up some ferns and other tropical items to create a beach mood.
This was the first year I tried something BRAND new at my recitals. All students were slated to play two pieces in the recital--both titles were included in the program. However, since many wanted to play more pieces, I asked them to sign their name on a white board off to the side of the stage. Anyone who signed up could play another piece after the recital was finished and before the next one started (I usually hold two with a break in between.)
SO many students signed up TWICE to play again--isn't that what you want?
13. Celebrate seniors
Not every year do we piano teachers get to celebrate the graduation of seniors in our studio. You know it takes a good deal of nurturing and patience to grow our students into advancing pianists. Students who stick around and drive themselves to lessons, take the ACT test, apply for college, etc., deserve some special recognition on their last year of piano lessons. I did that a couple of years ago when I had four graduating. It was definitely a bittersweet evening!
Read all about it here.

14. Cheer on superheroes
Good friend and fellow piano teacher Marie Lee always has a million ideas for keeping her students excited about lessons and performances. Her superhero recital looked out-of-this world fantastic. Check out her studio Facebook page to see all her innovative ideas.
15. Go to the movies
Check out the movie-themed post featured at Heather Nanney's site. It's a brilliant!
Read about it here.
16. Hold a fundraiser
Friend and fellow teacher Renee Holliman empowered her students to organize their own fundraiser recital at a local piano store.
Read all about it here.
17. Plan a practice-a-thon
Another teacher, Laura Roberts, held a practice-a-thon in her studio and showcased their practicing efforts in a benefit concert.
Read more about it here.
18. Explore what music means with students
Marie Lee used this theme and asked all her students to complete this sentence: "Music makes me..."
She used their words in a word cloud generator and created t-shirts for a recital. The students also drew a picture depicted their words. The student pictures were projected behind the student as they played in the recital.
Another idea with the same theme: one year I asked my students to create Christmas cards for their parents. They wrote what music means to them in the card. The card also featured a QR code that when scanned, shows the young pianist playing her Christmas recital solo.
Read more about it here.
19. Step back to the Baroque
Either hold your own Baroque recital or do like a number of local associations have done and hold a Baroque Achievement Day/Festival and immerse your students in the legendary style period. Don't like Baroque? Choose another music style!
Read more about how to Go Baroque here.
20. Play it forward
It's easy to get lost in the daily grind of lessons, scheduling, invoicing, practicing or lack thereof! In the hubbub of doing what we do we can lose perspective on what we should do: spreading the joy of making music through our teaching and playing.
Perhaps it's time for you to encourage your students to "play it forward" and share their music to benefit others in some way. Perhaps this is how they can express themselves best? It takes the attention off of themselves and instead let's them focus on who is hearing their beautiful music.
This idea came to me when a student arrived at a lesson claiming he had "made a song for Paris!" It was soon after the horrible shootings that had taken place in 2016 and he improvised a beautiful piece channeling his feelings and shared it on his YouTube channel.
That year, everyone received a "play it forward" slap band for Christmas.
Read more about it here.
Add Something special
21. Set up a photo booth
Since I always forget to take group shots after the recital, last year I set up a photo booth, asked parents to take pics of their kiddos and text their pics to me.
22. Invite audience participation
On a number of recital programs, I've included questions to guide listeners in the audience. I've required fellow students to choose and star their favorite piece--the one they want to play next year--and bring it to the next lesson. I've also included a coloring page on the back of the program. FYI: Studies show that doodling increases listening skills.
Get your color pages here.
23. Play a favorite studio game
A friend and fellow piano teacher just down the road from me holds small intimate Christmas recitals in her living room. At the end, parents and students play a favorite studio game. She claims (unsolicited by me!) that Rhythm on a Rollwas a huge hit with all!
Get Rhythm on a Roll here.
24. Hold a drum circle
I kicked off my fall session with a piano party for student families in my garage. Many of my students enjoy bucket drumming in group lessons so I decided it would be fun to have parents join in the fun and experience it for themselves. They learned and saw first hand why I use bucket drumming in my curriculum. Nothing helps to build rhythm skills better than drumming!
Learn more about bucket drumming here.
25. Perform a piece yourself
Mannheim Steamroller revolutionized the way we enjoy the music of the holidays. I was so inspired by them and an organ with 242 MIDI voices that I created an arrangement of their "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" for the and played it at a recital. Since most of my students do not hear (or see) an organ on a regular basis, they were fascinated by it. (Sorry, kind of an old video--it still is one of my favorites to play on the organ!)
26. Give studio t-shirts
A fellow teacher and friend, Debbie Moore, purchased a graphic from the Piano Teacher Planning Center and had the design ironed to t-shirts in all kinds of bright colors. She gave them to students prior to the recital and they wore them as they performed in the recital.
Read more about it here.
Add style and class
27. Choose cool graphic designs
First appearances make all the difference in the world so make sure all your recital materials: from the program to Facebook announcements look spiffy. Andrea West takes care of that for you with her original and colorful graphic designs for any occasion.
Get your graphic designs here.
Please leave YOUR ideas below and best wishes on your upcoming recital!

It's all very well having these ambitions, of course. Exploring at length my driving passion to translate that raw edge of creation into writing, to bring that honesty and worth into everything I write so it resounds with everyone who reads it. These are the reasons I want to write, the heights I want to scale and surmount. And why do I want to do that? Well, for money, obviously.
Writing is something in me, this is evident, but I am not one of those writers who can with utter honesty tell you that money isn't important, success isn't important, that just having their work written down and perhaps published, and whatever it makes doesn't matter. That's not me. I want to be successful, by which I mean I want my writing to earn me a living so I can provide for my family.
Some writers, I'm sure, started because they wanted to break records or make themselves a name. Some invented or pioneered styles and elements of thought, or discovered whole new territories of writing. I don't hold such lofty ambitions, mine are far more personal and ground in life. I want to earn enough so I need not do anything else but write, and so my family can enjoy the freedom and opportunity to do what makes them happy too.
Providing for kids is something people do every day. You don't have to be a millionaire, or even rich to do it. Security is what I aspire to, though it sounds paltry when it comes out like that. Security for the family I don't yet have but hope to soon. Security for their lives, so they can love and learn and believe and aspire, and not be struck down by the monotonous drone of the 'live to work' culture that festers in this country.
I want my sons and daughters to be ambitious, keen and enthusiastic. I want to show them that following a dream isn't about throwing caution to the wind or being reckless and ignoring what's really going on around you. I want to be able to give them the inspiration to see that whatever they want to do is possible, whether it's teaching, travelling, accountancy, acting, selling or singing or running or writing. I want my wife to feel the same.
I want them to be able to listen to themselves and do what makes them truly happy. And of course I want to be able to do all this without dragging myself into a job I don't want and then spend my free time tapping away at writing when I'll be missing out on being with them. Writing is the only job I've ever wanted to do, and that's why I want to write.
It takes a certain kind of selfishness to want to write soley without any thought of earning from it or ambition for success. Or perhaps it takes a more self-assured distance from the 'need' to write, since I can't imagine how difficult it would be for me to keep writing if a) I didn't think what I was doing was good enough to be successful and b) I didn't have any hopes about what form that success might take. It would be redundant, less than a hobby.
And yet I know lots of creative people who pursue their passions – music, writing, acting – with apparently not an ounce of hope that the passion could become the career. Maybe I'm being hoodwinked, maybe it's a lack of belief in an alternative to the conventional. I would say that not dreaming is hard, except I know from my own experience that the hardest thing is to start dreaming and doing something about that dream. Though it gets easier.
I know I'm good enough. I know that the writer I have the capacity to be is better by some distance than some of the published authors out there who earn enough to get by. I know that I can work hard enough to become a writer who earns enough that he need never do anything but earn from his writing, and be able to provide lives of opportunity and love for his family. For my family.
I don't want to change the world. I don't want to be Keats, or King, or Kerouac. Admittedly I would very much like to be Byron. What I want is simply to be a full time writer earning a living and providing for my family, not a Rowling-esque super rich celebrity. Funnily enough, it was Brewster's Millions that left me with the first threads of this post…

Harris: Millwall players should relish Leicester challenge
CARETAKER boss Neil Harris says the visit of table-topping Leicester City to The Den on New Year's Day should hold no fear for Millwall.
Harris believes his players could have no better motivation ahead of the game than to record a vital win in front of their own fans, who he says have a vital role to play.
"It will be a completely different game from the one at Doncaster and I'm sure there will be a great atmosphere inside The Den," Harris told the club's official site.
"I certainly think Leicester are the best team in the League at the moment, and we're in a transitional period between managers.
"Fitz and I are not going to need to motivate the players because they know what it is all about. A big crowd at The Den, the league leaders coming to town – what more, as a player, do you want?
"The fans will be here in numbers and will do all they can to get behind the boys. That's a huge help to the players, and everyone in the dressing room should relish chances like this because there's no better crowd to play in front of than ours.
"Having said that, the players have still got to perform in the same way as they did at Doncaster; full of commitment, desire and fighting spirit.
"For Scott and I, we have got to draw energy, enthusiasm and excitement out of them because they have to play in the right manner. With a little bit more quality in the final third I am sure we can get a positive result."

AIADMK's Sasikala Pushpa shows solidarity with PM Modi over NCBC bill
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], Apr 20 (ANI): All Anna India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader Sasikala Pushpa has shown solidarity with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the bill that aims at giving constitutional status to National Commission For Backward Classes (NCBC) and seeks to benefit all OBC communities, including among Muslims. "I am very much proud to be part of your esteemed leadership-era as a part of 'temple of democracy.' It has been a long-standing demand of the OBC community, since Independence to make it a statutory commission. It has indeed happened under your leadership by giving constitutional/statutory acceptance for the function of the NCBC," a letter from Pushpa's office to Prime Minister Modi said. "In order to safeguard, the interest of the socially and educationally backward classes more effectively. Your special initiatve certainly is essential for the present and the future generations. It is an aggressive step to outreach the backward caste in India, as the way we have done for SCs and STs." "We as the Member of Parliament must take this to the people of India, so that 1.34 billion will appreciate your spearhead stand for the generations to come. I deeply appreciate and wish to join your selfless service to the nation," the letter added. Prime Minister Modi's intervention on the subject came during a debate at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Executive meet on a resolution moved on the NCBC Bill. The legislation has been referred to a select committee of the Rajya Sabha after its passage by the Lok Sabha. The government lacks numbers in the Rajya Sabha to get the Constitution Amendment Bill passed, which requires a special two-thirds majority and a subsequent ratification by at least half of the state assemblies.

Native American Heritage Month aimed to educate, entertain students
Native American Heritage Month is recognized nationally throughout the month of November. At Central Michigan University, students celebrate and educate during the month with a variety of events hosted by the Office of Native American Programs.
Multiple students helped plan and execute events throughout the month. Two of them, Escanaba senior Hannah Bartol and Mishawaka senior Alexis Syrette, in charge of planning activities and running a brand new CMU C-REZ radio show that was created for the month.
"Every Wednesday, we go into the student radio station over in Moore Hall. We introduce ourselves and then go into some contemporary issues that affect the Native American community," Bartol said.
The radio show doesn't only feature Bartol and Syrette; the two hosts also brought in guest speakers to get their viewpoints on the issues that affect the Native American community.
"A lot of the guest speakers are past students or people within the community. They're all more than willing to come for two hours or (on) their lunch hour if they can," Bartol said.
According to both Bartol and Syrette, the feedback from the radio show has been positive.
"We can't really see how many people are listening, but we've gotten really good feedback," Syrette said. "We try to do a good job of posting it on social media so people can see and listen online. We've gotten good feedback from people from what we've seen," Syrette said.
Other than the radio show, another feature of Native American Heritage Month is keynote speaker, Michigan State University director Dr. Dylan Miner, who ended the month with a lecture continuing discussion of issues the Native American community faces.
"In years past we've had indigenous music artists, we've had authors, we've had poets, we've had sports players, we've had just a multitude of keynote speakers. This year we have Dr. Dylan Miner. He's a director at Michigan State University and the indigenous community is very, I would say, close knit. He was more than willing to come to CMU and talk about his journey through academia," Bartol said.
Events didn't just happen within a couple hours, however. Every day in November, CMU students were invited to "Rock Your Mocs." This event called for students to wear moccasins every day of the month. The event is nationally recognized and Syrette believes it is a way for students to reach out and ask questions about what moccasins represent.
"(Rock your Mocs) is a nationwide thing," Syrette said. "It's a movement not only for Native American Heritage Month, but for November. We want people to reach out to us and ask us about our culture and what that means to us to be wearing our moccasins."
For Grand Haven freshman Ayebah Wilson, her first year organizing these events was constructive.
"It's nice to see our cultures being shared and shown to those who only know of the stereotypes and false knowledge of native people," Wilson said. "I loved being able to share more of my culture, being Navajo. I was able to show and share information and a new perspective that is separate from the tribes in Michigan."
Though Wilson's experience was positive, Bartol thought more individuals needed to come to Native American Heritage Month events to become more educated about a prominent community of students at CMU.
"A lot of the Native American community comes to our events just to support our events, (but) I'm not here to educate them. I'm here to educate the community and I think a lot of people don't know what they don't know," Bartol said. "I think having them step out of their comfort zone (to) come to our events would be a lot of fun."
Even though the month has ended, Syrette wants individuals to know that the Office of Native American Programs is always willing to answer questions.
"(To) the overall community of CMU, get involved. No question is a dumb question. Just reach out to us in the NAP office and we're more than happy to help," Syrette said.

The Gosman Spoon Co is a home-spun spoon carving company situated deep in the wilds of the Norfolk-Suffolk border-lands of Southern England. Father (Nick) and Daughter (Sophie) have brought together their creative talents to produce beautiful wooden spoons of every single type you can imagine. Sophie's style is artistic and curiosity-led, whilst Nick's style is rustic and functional.
Like all woodworkers we respect wild nature in all its forms. In keeping with our deep love of nature, we only use wood for spoon carving that has been professionally pruned from trees to help them grow better or use wood that trees have shed naturally.
To make our spoons, we use only the ancient woodcraft hand tools and skills passed down by generations of woodworkers; the axe, the draw-knife, the crook knife and the mallet. Each spoon starts life as a piece of wood that is lovingly crafted into a spoon in an ancient spoon carving process taking three or more hours.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- A bruising afternoon sell-off in the financial sector took the Dow Industrials sharply lower Thursday and put a damper on investors' appetite for technology issues as well.
The Nasdaq attempted to add to Wednesday's gains earlier in the session but the bulls were quick to bail out in another demonstration of amazing volatility. Catalyst for the selling were mounting concerns over the second-quarter profit outlook for financial stocks.
"I don't think we've found a bottom yet," said John Zaro, managing member at Bourgeon Capital Management. "People have no conviction and we continue to flip-flop."
Further, Zaro said investors aren't comfortable holding on to long positions ahead of the Memorial Day Weekend. Thursday's late-day selling in the Nasdaq indicates market participants opted to close out their positions a day early.
Zaro defined the Nasdaq's pop Thursday morning as a typical bounce from extremely oversold levels. The Nasdaq is down 5.4 percent on the week.
Internet and computer software issues led the tech sector on the downside while networking shares remained positive. In the broader market, airline, bank, brokerage and paper stocks were the hardest hit.
The Dow Industrials DJIA, +0.21% plunged 211.43 points, or 2.0 percent, to 10,323.92.
Shares of Microsoft, Citigroup, Caterpillar, General Motors and International Paper suffered the heaviest losses while only five stocks ended on the upside, led by Home Depot and Walt Disney.
The Nasdaq Composite $compq fell 65.26 points, or 2.0 percent, to 3,205.35 while the Nasdaq 100 index $ndx , which encompasses the largest Nasdaq stocks by market capitalization, declined 81.03 points, or 2.5 percent, to 3,099.28.
Buying interest in many tech bellwethers such as Sun Microsystems and Intel dried up in afternoon trading, sending the Nasdaq in the red. And a plunge in Microsoft shares to its lowest level in about 1 1/2 years also weighed heavily on both the tech sector and the broader market.
"Uncertainty is now driving the market. People don't feel secure and are looking to get out," said Louis Parks, senior managing director at Raymond James. Without tech stocks in the driver's seat, the market has lost its leadership, he said.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +0.69% lost 1.3 percent while the Russell 2000 Index RUT, +0.95% of small-capitalization stocks eased 1.2 percent.
Volume came in at 977 million on the NYSE and at 1.56 billion on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Market breadth turned lower in the afternoon as decliners beat advancers by 16 to 12 on the NYSE and by 23 to 17 on the Nasdaq.
"There's not a lot of optimism in the overall market," said Peter Coolidge, senior equity trader at Brean Murray.
"The nervousness remains and there's still uncertainty on the interest rate front. The economic data continues to come out strong," he said.
Sector movers
The brokerage sector turned sharply lower in the afternoon following a cautious note from Merrill Lynch on Goldman Sachs. The AMEX Securities Broker/Dealer Index " fell 3.6 percent.
Merrill analyst Judah Kraushaar cast doubts on his earnings estimates for Goldman Sachs GS, +1.32% for the quarter, saying he expects a "more attainable" range of $1.30 to $1.35 a share from his own $1.36 estimate. The First Call estimate for Goldman is $1.47 a share for the second quarter. See related story.
"The level of activity in securities markets appears to be incrementally slowing each month and we think there could be some risk that Wall Street estimates could be too high," Merrill said in a note to clients.
Further, Sanford Bernstein lowered its second-quarter earnings estimates on Goldman Sachs to $1.30 from $1.45 due to wider-than-expected losses in merchant banking.
Goldman plunged 7 to 73. Other losers in the sector included Merrill Lynch MER, -1.02%, down 5 13/16 to 94 5/16, and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter MWD, +0.37%, off 4 1/4 to 64.
Meanwhile, shares of Linux-related companies, which compete with Microsoft, benefited from news that U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson questioned whether the government's proposal to split the software behemoth into two separate companies goes far enough -- citing suggestions by outside parties to break the software behemoth into at least three companies. See full story.
Microsoft MSFT, +0.74% fell 4 1/16 to 61 1/2 while Red Hat rhat rose 1 to 16 3/4, VA Linux Systems climbed 1 7/8 to 43 3/8 and Canadian-based Corel added 3/32 to 3 27/32. Oracle, which is also set to gain from a Microsoft breakup, added 2 3/16 to 66 7/16.
The airline sector paused Thursday after taking off on Wednesday on news that UAL " is purchasing US Airways Group U, -1.44%. The AMEX Airline Index $xal lost 3.5 percent.
As a result of UAL's announced purchase of US Airways, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette lowered its rating on the airline group to "market perform" from "outperform."DLJ advises avoiding UAL, AMR and Delta Air Lines until the dust settles.
US Airways shed 4 3/8 to 44 5/8 following mammoth gains on Wednesday while UAL lost 11/16 to 52 1/2. AMR, which was cut to a "neutral" from "outperform" by Salomon Smith Barney, lost 2 15/16 to 27 1/8.
The biotech sector ended mixed with the AMEX Biotech Index $btk off 1.9 percent and Merrill's Biotech Holdrs BBH, +0.61% up 0.9 percent. Shares of genomics-related companies gained ground, with Genentech DNA, +0.10% up 7 3/4 to 100 and Human Genome Sciences hgsi up 4 9/16 to 76 1/8.
Merrill Lynch had some positive comments on genomics stocks Thursday. The brokerage said it believes the beleaguered sector has lots of upside potential.
"Recent weakness provides investors with a buying opportunity and the ability to participate in what we believe will be a recovery phase for many stocks in the sector. We believe sector fundamentals remain very strong and we anticipate that 2000 and beyond will be characterized by continued growth for select companies that meet the demands of the industry," Merrill said in a note to clients.
Impact from China Trade bill
The passage of the China bill on trade had only a short-lived positive effect on the tech sector. Late Wednesday, the House approved a bill that will grant China permanent normal trade relations. Read the story.
Many stocks in the telecom sector turned lower in afternoon trading after enjoying healthy gains in the morning.
Merrill Lynch said it believes the passage of the China trade bill will be a long-term positive for many U.S. communications equipment companies.
"China currently represents about 6 percent of the total communications equipment market, but if new service providers are allowed to enter the Chinese market, we would expect spending in China to accelerate," Merrill said in a note to clients.
In the near term, Merrill said the biggest beneficiary of this trend could be UTStarcom, given its regulatory knowledge and manufacturing and sales presence in China.
But Merrill is not as sanguine on Qualcomm's prospects. "In the near-term, passage of this bill may reduce any remaining leverage the U.S. can have on the adoption of CDMA [technology] in China. Passage of this bill may still be perceived negatively for Qualcomm," the brokerage said.
Shares of Qualcomm QCOM, +1.67% lost 7 3/4 to 69, Motorola mot fell 4 15/16 to 92 1/16 and UTStarcom UTSI, -0.33% rose 1 3/4 to 37 3/4.
Meanwhile, one economist stressed that the benefits from PNTR are long-term ones.
"This is an event of great political importance, but our key point is that it is of little near-term macroeconomic consequence," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
"U.S. trade with China is too small to make much difference to the big numbers. Granting China PNTR simply does not compare to, say, NAFTA," Shepherdson added. However, eventually freer trade between the two nations will make a difference and will increase the real incomes of both countries -- and this should not be dismissed, he continued.
Specific movers
In earnings news, Westvaco Corp. W, +3.29% reported second-quarter earnings of 61 cents per share compared to 27 cents per share in the year-ago period. The figure includes a gain of 7 cents per share and a charge of 9 cents per share. First Call expected earnings of 55 cents a share. See full story. The stock rose 15/16 to 29 13/16.
Tommy Hilfiger TOM, +0.66% registered a fourth-quarter profit from operations of 37 cents a share, 2 cents ahead of the First Call estimate. The company made 48 cents in the year-ago period. The stock added 5/8 to 7 9/16.

Nepal has always been on our bucket list since the time we met. Talking about trekking in Nepal, there are famous classic Annapurna Circuit Trek, the epic Everest Base Camp Trek but we were not interested in the traffic jam on the trail of the mighty Himalaya so the rising of Manaslu Circuit Trek with less-traveled trails attracted us, we decided to take on this real adventure.
Every Journey Tell A Story - My Cinderella Nepal
Nepal has never in my the travel bucket list before as my impression of this very poor country with a mournful earthquake. Trekking has never been my taste because I am a typical Vietnamese who scare of having my skin get burned by the sun. Inspiration by the beautiful pictures of Hoang Yen and her love for this country, our team has decided to choose Nepal as a destination within a second.

Utupoa Upepo
We designed and built UtupoaUpepo, our new beach tower, as a song of praise for the local ngalawa sailing culture. You sleep on its top floor, cradled from and by a sea breeze, as close to Matemwe's dazzling beach high-water mark as you could ever hope to be. In Swahili, upepo is the nautical term for 'wind', the word ngalawa sailors habitually use for their point of sail: to sail against the wind, for example, is kupinga upepo. But if you search an English Swahili Dictionary you will also see that pepo means 'paradise'.
We also designed UtupoaUpepo with romance in the air and we wanted to give two people the private, exclusive and secure space of a tower, situated as close as possible to the sea, with three floors, where all of the space is yours and yours alone.
The blues and circles and bubbles of the quirky bottom floor are to suggest an underwater experience and, if you look up, you will see the hulls of two ngalawa floating above you. Here you can have a warm shower after an afternoon swim in the sea or sit quietly at midnight, make yourself a mango smoothie and listen to the reef roaring lowly though the portholes.
Climb the sand-coloured staircase as though you are going up for air and then, before you on the tower's middle level, a resting place with its own bar and music system, open to the breeze and in greens for the most part, here it is: Matemwe's glorious beach panorama.
And so to the eyrie, the lovers' nest. Up the staircase as you climb, feel mangrove polished hard by mud and salt, until you reach the warm, red cocoon which is your en suite bedroom on the top floor. The bed itself is pure ngalawa, carved out of a mango tree and bearing still the swells and scars of its recent history. The boat's prow provides stowage and the two outriggers make a frame for the window which is all upepo and a view which, as you lie in bed, will surely take your breath away.

Great idea - planning the sizes! Planning my new sewing room and have some spaces I didn't know what to do with.....now and thinking again! Good job!
You did a great job! Your fabrics look so pretty on their nice, new shelf. I might put some cup hooks on the side for long skinny ruler to hang (if you can bear to put holes in your nice shelf) If not, use those fancy 3M removable hooks.
Very nice !Did a good job

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000 step process."
My first thought was, can I order one from you. Very impressive and well done! Let me know when you start selling them.
Why sleep when you can quilt.

Would Like To Try Organic Gardening? These Pointers May Help
Discover how to beautify your outdoor spaces with the helpful horticulture tips in this article in order to produce a garden that everyone will love. You can have a good idea on the thing you need, so you do not waste money unnecessary equipment, or maybe the wrong kinds of seeds.
The handles on your tools can be used as clever rulers. Just lay your tool down on the ground then lay a yardstick next to the handles.Make use of a bright permanent marker to label the distances.
Brighten your flower beds with biennials and biennials. You may fill gaps between shrubs or perennials. Some flowers you should use are cosmos, rudbekia, sunflower and marigold or sunflowers.
Bulbs are a great option for people who desire to enjoy spring and in summer. Different types of bulbs bloom at different times, so choosing appropriately, maybe you have blooms early spring to later summer.
Once the fall season approaches, you have to plant autumn edibles. A pumpkin may become a planting container instead of clay pots. Once you've cut its top and scooped the insides out, spray the interior and edges with Wilt-Pruf to hold the pumpkin from rotting.
Don't mow your grass down from the soil if you run the mower. When you enable your grass to cultivate just a little longer, the roots will grow deeper to the soil, making the lawn more and stronger resistant to drying out. Short grass however is more prone to getting dried out and turning brown.
Pest control is extremely difficult for those who have a veggie garden. One way that you can help control garden pests away is to remain diligent concerning your garden. If you catch the pests early, you can take them out by hand effectively.
You simply need just a little homework, some are employed in the outdoors, and some patience. The time and effort will pay off, and you may view a good reward for your personal effort.

I'm often asked, as if my personal life is anybody's business, why I live in western Belize. After all, life has persisted longer near the poles than near the equator during the two previous Mass Extinction Events resulting from planetary warming. I must be a hypocrite if I choose to live in subtropical Central America at 17 degrees north latitude.
Or perhaps the typical critic of my personal life is applying misinformed judgment to my situation. Maybe my decisions are rooted in love, rather than in extending my run on the planet. And it could be that this human-induced extinction event — likely the only one for which global dimming will play a substantive role — is unlike its five predecessors on Earth.
What, you ask, has love got to do with it? As I've already noted in this space, I love being out of the country of my birth, the United (sic) States of America. There's more, too.
I love life. Contrary to Russell's quote about the suffering of (hu)mankind, my pity extends to non-human organisms. Immersion into the stunning biological diversity in Central America is worth the trip. There's more, too.
I love living, as opposed to spending my time making a living. I find that the majority of the sweet, tough people in Belize have similar views. More than 50 years in the country of my birth indicates most people living there have an obsession for fiat currency. Life is for living, not chasing colored pieces of paper and digits in one's bank account. There's more, too.
I was enchanted with the agrarian anarchism of Belize I read about before initially visiting the country in 2006. As with every other place on Earth, the situation has worsened considerably during the last dozen years. The horrors of disaster capitalism leave few places untouched. Still, Belize lags behind the global race to the bottom with respect to contemporary infrastructure, including the production and distribution of food. There's more, too.
As I pointed out in this space in January of 2017, I'm not particularly motivated by material riches. Early last year I denied the importance of money and sex as primary forces underlying my move. I still do, even though I'm willing to admit these two factors have inspired many, and perhaps most, decisions by men throughout history. Still, the women with whom I spend most of my time these days are not wealthy. I'm not strongly motivated by money, as is clear from my voluntarily opting out of a high-pay, no-work tenured faculty position at the apex of American Empire nearly nine years ago. That decision, as with most of the others in my adult life, was rooted in principle. Were I driven to accumulate material possessions, I would have made different choices about how and with whom I live.
In summary, I have been driven by simple but overwhelmingly strong passions, as with Bertrand Russell: the longing for love that afflicts us all, the search for knowledge that underscores the work of all scholars, and unbearable pity for the unnecessary suffering of organisms on Earth.

An extension will be given to all people affected by the wildfire who missed the two-year insurance claim deadline.
That message coming from the provincial government who is prepared to help residents get an additional year to file their claims.
It was announced last week that the majority of companies are granting voluntary extensions.
Of the roughly 900 that are still opened, around 85 per cent have been given additional time.
Minister of Finance Joe Ceci tells Fort McMurray News there are certain reasons why some extensions haven't been granted.
"Part of the reason is they haven't been able to reach the 15 per cent or the people are having some extraordinary difficulties making decisions to deal with the companies to close their claims."
Ceci says the province is also willing to amend the current legislation if a company refuses.
"We want to make sure that no resident is left behind, that's our top priority. Should we find that there are some issues or problems with some people not getting extensions, we will look at all our options and we're prepared to amend if possible."
People still struggling can still reach out to the Superintendent of Insurance.
Around 97 per cent of claims have already been settled.

Learning and developing physical skill is a process with several contributing factors. One of the most important and impactful of those contributors is a Coach. I prefer the title of coach to other popular handles like cadre, instructor, or teacher. Coaching implies a more personal relationship between parties and is also associated with sport. A good coach will know what you need to see, hear, feel and do in order to achieve success. A good coach knows that there are many ways to achieve success and will modify your training in order to focus on weaknesses while nurturing strengths. As you develop, your coach should develop with you. If you are seeking greatness in a sport or other physical endeavor you should seek out a coach who will provoke you to your desired result. I coach quite a few people in a few different physical disciplines. A common coaching characteristic I have with every one of my athletes is that I will tell you what you need to hear in order for you to progress in a positive direction. Often times what I say does not make sense to onlookers, but it doesn't matter. Everyone reacts in their own way to different coaching stimulus. Some of my shooters need positive reinforcement and minor corrective action to take their game a step forward. A couple of my CrossFitters seem to thrive on a negative bashing characteristic of a boot camp drill instructor. One of my lifters loves numbers, percentages, and probability for success. When she feels her probability for success is high, it is.
My point in this is that if you are serious about doing well in your chosen game, you need to find a coach that can help you achieve your goal. You can't watch your own performances. You can't feel the subtle differences in body position that cause mistakes. You can't see your own expressions of frustration and respond with the required provocation to change your attitude into a positive training session. Those things are done by a coach. So, scour the internet, ask successful people in your sport, attend local competitions and find yourself a coach.
*I personally have several coaches that I train with regularly. Even the Coach needs a Coach.

"Only a surfer knows the feeling."Most surf films follow a few, well worn paths, usually all pumping surf porn and wandering adventures for the initiated.
Toddy & Robinson Stewart are going to create a film series that will be a surf exploration of a different sort: a cinematic journey alongside an eight year old learning to surf and learning about surfing heritage and what it might feel like to be part of a passionate community,
Like most parents, Toddy Stewart struggles with the nagging feeling he isn't giving his child enough opportunities to learn life's most important lessons. He is proud of bringing his boy up in their vibrant, multi-ethnic/cultural/persuasion community in New York City, but having grown up in a Pacific Northwest household obsessed with the outdoors (read: a ski-patrolman father), raising children with a woman of deep familial surfing roots (read: her father surfed 1960's North Shore) and being passionate about surfing himself (a difficult lifestyle to maintain in NYC) he feels like there is a big part of his son's education and heritage that's missing.
In equal part, Toddy's son Robinson loves his life in New York. He gets to play soccer and go to ballet and go to a great school full of interesting kids. But he feels like he is missing something that's really important to his parent's life.
The Boy's Journey is a film series about setting another bit of the record straight and introducing a child to a parent's sometimes obscured value system, then seeing that value system through the child's eyes.
A voyage of discovery through community, respect, history, and the environment, the series will be a memoirumentary travelogue that captures the journey of a father and son exploring a mythic place neither have been, while telling the story of a father showing his son his world view, and following the child while he experiences it.
The film series will follow the family along the east coast of Australia, ostensibly from Sydney to Brisbane, as they stop off to visit their many surf-addled friends along the route.
We'll be renting a camper van and heading up the coast, paying visits to other families along the way. Families that live as differently as one can imagine from a boy's over-stuffed life in New York City.
Each visit will be its own film, documenting how the other kids and their mothers and fathers live. A series of open doors to another world.
The final product will be both a single documentary film from which we will poach a series of short webisodes. A surf film and a surf series from a different point of view.
The funds from this Kickstarter have been calculated to go towards production costs, kombi rental (that's what they call VW Buses), entrance and camping fees and the bits and pieces of the out-of-house post production process that cost a little bit like sound mixing and color correction. We are running this thing on a shoe-string budget, but we are very good at that.
The result will be an exciting series of videos about community, heritage, education and exploration. It will be a journey that will stoke out any budding surfer and every future-traveler.
Not just a boy's journey, but a journey for every kid who's ever wanted to know what being a surfer and a smart, inquisitive and respectful traveler is all about.
Read an interview with Toddy Stewart about this project here.
• "Director/Father/Camera/Co-Writer" Toddy Stewart (40ish years old) has been a commercial filmmaker in New York for the last 15 years and has been surfing for over twenty.
His surf blog "The Endless Bummer" has waxed poetic in both print and video about the rigors and joys of a New York surfing life since 2007. His short film "The Surf Magazines Don't Talk About Lapsed Catholics" has won wide accolades as a one-of-a-kind take on the subject matter. He is a partner, director, curator and editor at Picture Farm, a production company and gallery in Brooklyn, NY.
You can check out some of his professional work here.
• "DP/Godfather/Sound/Co-Writer" Kevin Freeny (40ish years old) has travelled the world for the past ten years shooting documentary nature films in such places as the Antarctic, the Arctic, the Galapagos Islands, Rapa Nui, the Pacific Northwest and Sub-Saharan Africa. He is well accustomed to the rigors of travel, getting "the shot" in the most arduous conditions and palling around with his godson, Robinson Stewart.
You can see a small sample of his work here.
• "Son/Boy/Camera/Co-Writer" Robinson Miel Stewart (8ish years old) has lived his life between New York City and North County San Diego. He trains at the School of American Ballet, is an avid soccer player and has spent more than a few hours in the water with his papa. As an aspiring storyteller in his own right, he will join in the process of filmmaking with his own capture devices.

Risks and challenges
The possibility for quality filmmaking has expanded in just the past few years. Inexpensively priced video cameras and audio gear have made the product of documentation more and more beautiful.
The trick is still in the eye, the ear and the storytelling. This film, while manned by a couple "old pros" will employ a decidedly visceral, kinetic process. A variety of shooting styles and equipment will be used at different moments to capture the very most out of every situation.
The risks and challenges of a project like this are probably always the same: Will it actually happen? Will the production quality be good? Will it be finished? Is the motivation and ability for real?
To these, we can only be point out via our crew bios that there is a significant amount of "know how." As surfers, well worn travelers and most importantly experienced filmmakers with lots of tools out our fingertips, we are well accustomed to making a product to the highest standards with finesse and a wink.
The closer we get to the project, the further it gets along the deeper we are thinking about the nuts and bolts of it all. What will be the POV? How do we transcend the normal surf angles? How do you capture an 8 year old's experience?
It is is a magnificently interesting process to find references, come up with alternative visions and try to plan out a film that will be educational, emotional, well shot and fun.
All those things, of course, are the prime challenges as well.

Over the years, the Cairns Amateurs has developed from just another race meet into a Melbourne Cup-style carnival for far north Queenslanders.
The racecourse was inundated with not only horses, jockeys, bookies and punters, but sky divers, street-style entertainers and quirky events added to the colour of the 2013 event.
The 1RAR (First Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment) band from Townsville rocked the crowd with some hot rock 'n' roll numbers, while immaculately dressed ladies and gents fought it out for some fabulous Fashion on the Field prizes.
Racegoers also got to enjoy a new double-storey marquee erected trackside.
There they could catch a bird's eye view of the jockeys and horses contesting the big prize money on offer over the two days of racing at Cannon Park.
And to top off the carnival, it was a group of far north Queenslanders that won the prestigious Cairns Amateurs Cup.
The winning gelding 'Seafight' was ridden by Robert Thompson for the two ladies of racing from the Atherton Tablelands - owner Kem Watkins and trainer Janel Ryan.

The format of a KPOP song has become pretty predictable and standardized throughout the years. There are the verses, chorus, and maybe a catchy dance break if it is an upbeat song. Let's not forget the random inserted rap in almost every KPOP song. No matter the genre of music, there is guaranteed to be one of the members rapping either near the beginning or end of the song.
Since this has become such a commonality, I have decided to list some of my favourite raps in KPOP songs. The word "some" is underlined for emphasis to imply that this is not my compete list of favourites. This list is also not arranged in any particular order. Also, this list does not contain groups like "Big Bang", "Bangtan Boys", "Monsta X", "B.A.P", "2NE1" or any groups of the sort whose music contains mostly rapping.
Bang – After School (Bekah)
This is one of my favourite KPOP songs. The rap is entirely in English, which Bekah pulls off flawlessly. The rap is broken up into two parts, before and after the bridge. Bekah's rap makes this song. I listen to the song with full anticipation for that part. Kahi does an excellent re-creation of this rap in the Japanese version of the song.
In The Night Sky – AS Red (Kahi)
Speaking of Kahi, another one of her raps made it to this list. "In the Night Sky" was a song by After School's subunit, AS Red (Kahi, Nana, Jungah & UEE). I was not very happy that the group was broken up into units, but I was in love with this song. Kahi is not one of my favourite KPOP "rappers", but she pulled off this rap pretty well. It is my favourite part of the song, along with Nana's cute "ee ee" during the chorus.
Shaking Heart – C-Clown (Rome)
I really liked C-Clown. It is a pity that they have disbanded. This is one of my favourite songs from them. Rome's raps are throughout the song and make a good contrast to the singing parts. I think these raps are the reasons why I love the song so much.
We Were In Love – Davichi & T-ara (Hwayoung)
This song is probably in the top 20 of my all-time favourite KPOP songs. It is a ballad, so you would not expect to hear a rap thrown in there. However, Hwayoung's slow rap near the end is my favourite part of the song. There is so much emotion put into that short rap. It is a pity that Hwayoung is no longer in the singing industry. Also, kudos to Minkyung for pulling off an awesome rap like that.
You Don't Love Me – Spica (Juhyun)
SPICA is basically the older version of Mamamoo. Before Mamamoo debuted, SPICA was known for following a retro and jazz concept for their songs. They were also known for their zany behaviour. They are also all very excellent singers. "You Don't Love Me" is the perfect embodiment of their image. It is a classic retro song with a bit of comedy in it. Juhyun served as a vocalist and rapper for the song. Even though the song is a bit old school, the transition to the rap was smooth and effortless. Not to mention, it is a very catchy verse.
Every Night – EXID (LE)
This is one of my favourite songs from EXID. This was released before they became overly popular. I miss their songs like this. Now all their music seems to copy their famous hit, "Up and Down". The song catches you from the very beginning with LE's rap. It is a strong beginning to a resonating song.
Vista – Fiestar (Yezi)
When Fiestar debuted with this song, I fell in love. It was fun, upbeat and it was different from the music that was released at that time. Yezi's spunky rap is my favourite part of the song. I remember watching the video for the first time when it was released. When the rap picked up speed with the piano, I went crazy. Yezi is probably one of the few KPOP idols that I consider to be a real rapper. She proved herself during last season's Unpretty Rapstar.
We Don't Stop – Fiestar (Yezi)
This is another one of my favourite songs from Fiestar. This is a period where they have been releasing a lot party songs. Yezi's rap brings a whole lot of energy to this song making it even more enjoyable to listen to. Not to mention, the slowed tempo of the bridge right after the rap was a nice transition to Linzy's high note.
Sunshine – Rainbow (Woori)
There are sure a lot of up-tempo and cutesy songs on this list. I tend to not like raps in cutesy songs. They usually stand out too much and make song uncomfortable to listen to. "Sunshine" is an exception to this. The rap by Woori still had a strong impact, but there was a flirty twist, which matched the cute theme of the song.
Sixth Sense – Brown Eyed Girls (Miryo)
This is one of my favourite raps in this list. The song and its accompanying music video portrayed a powerful message, and what is better than having an equally powerful rap featured in the song? I have always viewed Miryo as one of the best rappers in the KPOP industry. Her notation and adlibs throughout the rap makes for a powerful piece, especially when performed live. This is my favourite part after Narsha's and Ga-in's high note.
Demonstrate – Rania (Alex)
I like this song purely because of Alex's rap. Alex is an American rapper recruited to join Rania. Alex is making history by being the first African-American female in a KPOP group. She was recruited for her rapping skills, which means she has experience in the field. Her rap at the beginning of the song is the only incentive for me to listen to the song. It's all in English, but it blends well with the Korean song.
So Into U – LU:KUS (Jinwan)
I am not really a fan of LU:KUS, but I really like this song primarily for the rap portion. It comes out of nowhere! The transition was so sudden! This would normally annoy me, but for some reason it worked for this song.
Ahh Oop – Mamamoo (Moonbyul)
When I was speaking about SPICA, I mentioned that Mamamoo had a similar concept. This is another retro-like song with an appropriate rap that fit well in the song. Most of Mamamoo's songs follow this concept, and the raps never stand out too much. The reason that this particular song made this list is because it is my favourite song from the group.
Poison – Secret (Hana)
I love Secret's older music, and this is one of them. Hana, who was known as Zinger at the time, rapped throughout the song. The particular rap that I love is the short one near the end of the song. Standing alone, Hana's rap is pretty good, but what makes it better is Jieun's vocalization in the background. That high note and Hana's strong rapping was like "magick" to my ears.
Gone Not Around Any Longer – Sistar19 (Bora)
Sistar19 is Sistar's subunit with Hyorin and Bora. This song is mostly Hyorin, so I appreciated Bora's rap. It was a slow rap with Hyorin adlibbing in the background. I think that I am more attracted to slow-paced raps because they sound more meaningful. I think this is why I like this rap so much, and because it was the only time where Bora got to shine.
Mr. Johnny – Miss A (Jia)
The rap in this song is entirely in English. I do not really care for the song other than this rap portion and the repetitive "Mr. Johnny" parts. The rap does not really suit the song, but sounds really good on its own.
No. 9 – T-ara (Hyomin)
Just like LU:KUS's "So Into U", the rap for "No. 9" had an unusual transition. From the chorus Hyomin repeats "I'm addict" (wonderful grammar there) then goes into this fast-paced and low-toned rap. It is very hard to understand what she is saying in this super short rap, and I still do not understand why I like this part so much. I guess it is because of the great build up to the rap part.
I – Taeyeon & Verbal Jint (Verbal Jint)
I remember when this song was released I avoided it for several days. I automatically assumed that any Taeyeon solo song would be a boring ballad that would not appeal to me. When I finally decided to listen to the song I realized how wrong I was. I fell in love with this song, and it quickly found its way to the top of my list. I love everything about this song, including Verbal Jint's rap. It was inspiring, and uplifting, and it fits right in with the song. Verbal Jint was always a versatile rapper, and this song proves it.
Rocking – Teen Top (C.A.P)
Okay, I will confess. I love C.A.P, but there is not anything special about this rap. Why is it on this list? That is because of that one word at the end of his rap, "eodiya". The way he says that word sends shivers down my spine. Who can resist that deep voice? I will listen to the rap ten thousand times over just to hear the end of it.
Like the Birds – FT ISLAND (Jaejin & Seunghyun)
Along with "Severely" and "Hello Hello", this is the song that made me start listening to FT Island. It's a really inspirational song. The raps are sprinkled out throughout the song, and blends well with Hong Ki's singing parts. It is a nice build up to the chorus.
Be My Baby – Wonder Girls (Yubin)
Overall, I prefer the English version of this song, but Yubin's rap is much better in the Korean version. The rapping is a little bit like chanting. The choreography that goes with this rap makes me love it a little more. I have always respected Yubin's rapping skills, and I gained more respect for her after Unpretty Rapstar.
Melted – Akdong Musician (Chanhyuk)
Chanhyuk is just adorable. Not only is he a great singer, but he is a decent rapper as well. "Melted" is one of my favourite songs ever. It is another slow song, with an accompanying slow rap. The rap does not seem displaced and provides a smooth transition between the verse and chorus. It is an emotional song, and the rap adds even more emotion to the story that they are trying to tell.
Come Back When You Hear This Song – 2PM (Taecyeon)
The random adlibs from Taceyeon throughout the song are very awkward. I cringe every time I hear "give me one more chance". It seems so out of place in the song. The rap is equally awkward, but is only in this list pretty much for the same reason "Rocking" was on my list. The spoken part at the end of rap raises goosebumps on my skin. I cannot help but to love Taecyeon's deep voice!
Hate – 4minute (Hyuna & Jiyoon)
This has to be one of the best songs of the year so far. This is a hip-hop/dance track, so it has a fair bit of rapping in it. Jiyoon's rap in the 2nd part of the song and Hyuna's rap near the end are my two favourites in the song. Jiyoon's rapping skills have improved since she was on Unpretty Rapstar. You can hear the improvement in this song. Not to mention the rap is as catchy as hell. Hyuna's rap near the end simmers down the song a bit before bringing in the chorus for the last time. It is a nice calm before the final BANG!
Crazy – 4minute (Jiyoon)
"Crazy" is quite similar to "Hate". It is also a hip-hop dance track, and again, there is quite a bit of rapping in it. My favourite part is the rap done by Jiyoon after the first chorus. The way she says "New York, Paris, Milano, Tokyo, London" made her rap a big hit.
Wild – Nine Muses (Eunji)
I was so sad when Eunji left the group. I began to really like her after Nine Muses released "Wild". Her rap in the song has so much sass and was on point. I began paying more attention to her after this release until the day she left the group. I believe that she was the group's best rapper.
Tried to Walk – B1A4 (Baro)
I left one of the best for last. This is another ballad-type song from one of my favourite groups. I already love the song as it is, but Baro's rap made it even better. He starts off slow with some low muttering. He then builds up the tempo as his rapping gets faster. This unique rapping style is gold!
That's my list for now! I am sure I will be adding more to this list as more songs are released, so expect a part two in the future!
