There are lifts that you thought only circus performers could do, made all the more amazing by the fact that about five couples do them all at the same time. The cast perform each move so crisply and flawlessly, with an energy that would leave the Duracell Bunny trailing. The Spanish-tinged dance of Cesar and Maria (Joe McMurray and Rebecca Sutherland) is so breath-taking that you might even need an inhaler. See what Arlene Phillips has to say about the show > Her choreography here is, quite frankly, stunning. If you've ever thought Arlene Phillips seemed mildly deranged in her quest for perfection as a judge on 'Strictly Come Dancing', this is why. You can't really go wrong with that soundtrack, can you? These Bee Gees classics are so indestructible that they'd probably survive nuclear war. Yet, believe it or not, it's not the songs that are the highlight… "The Spanish-tinged dance of Cesar and Maria is so breath-taking that you might even need an inhaler." My favourite things about Nottingham are the shops (well I am a girl!), the friendly people, the dinging of the tram bell and the word 'mardy'. My passions in life are reading and writing, which is apt as I also work in my local library. I love Nottingham so much I actually stayed on to do English at university here. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites Now this is a fever that deserves to reach epidemic proportions… Saturday Night Fever Review by Rachel Read Reviews You are in: Nottingham > Entertainment > Theatre and Dance > Reviews > Saturday Night Fever Let’s look at each of these in turn and see how they contribute to being musical.This page has been archived and is no longer updated. Here (in no particular order) are some of the skills we believe are important parts of musicality: We’ve unpacked that into a large number of specific skills and explored each of these here on the blog in our “Musicality Means” series and we have a Musicality Status Check for our members to see which areas they want to focus on improving next. Here at Musical U we like this short and simple definition: Musicality is a set of “inner skills” which let you freely and confidently express yourself in music. Chad West who regularly presents on the subject of modern musicianship defines 5 “Big Skills” which contribute to musicality and go way beyond instrument technique or being born talented. However, there is something valuable in those talent-based definitions: they capture the ineffable quality of musicality, the fact that it isn’t a simple yes/no quality, nor something you can fully define in a single sentence. So we’re not keen on definitions of musicality which imply it’s a “gift” or something innate rather than learnable. If you’ve been following our blog then you know we at Musical U can’t stand the Talent Myth and think “talent” doesn’t compare to practice for becoming a great musician. The Oxford Dictionary gets a bit mystical, saying musicality is “Musical talent or sensitivity” giving examples: “her beautiful, rich tone and innate musicality” and “his compositions reveal an exceptional degree of innate musicality”. Wikipedia has a slightly flimsy page, drawing on the Merriam-Webster definition: “Musicality is “sensitivity to, knowledge of, or talent for music” or “the quality or state of being musical”.” So let’s take this opportunity to explore: what is musicality? By using this short and simple word we risk overlooking many of the dimensions and subtleties it’s used to represent. Like all catch-all terms though, there is a downside to the convenience. It encompasses many of the skills we help people to learn at Musical U. Musicality is a very useful catch-all for “being musical”.
