Consonants vs. Vowels

The alphabet is made up of 26 letters: 5 vowels and 21 consonants.

In English, vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y. Consonants are all the other letters in the alphabet that are not vowels, such as b, d, g, n, r, s, and t.

Consonant sounds are made by blocking air using your teeth, tongue, or lips. For example, say the beginning consonant sound in the word pad—“puh.” Your lips come together to block air to make the sound.

ABCmouse’s early childhood and elementary curriculum contains many activities and games designed to help your child practice consonant sounds.

Activities and songs on ABCmouse, such as “The Letter B Song,” help your child learn the difference between vowel sounds and consonant sounds, which is a key skill for beginning readers.

List of Consonants and Their Sounds

Placeholder paragraph Learning consonant sounds is important to sounding out and decoding words. Once your child knows these sounds, he or she can read and decode words, starting with beginning consonant sounds.

Fourteen consonants have only one sound: B, F, H, J, K, L M, N, P, R, T, V, W, and Z.

However, seven consonants can have more than one sound: C, G, D, S, Y, and X. The letter C, for example, can sound like an S (cell) or a K (cat). The letter G can make the sounds as in goat and gel.

It’s important for beginning readers to understand that some consonants make more than one sound. ABCmouse games and videos model these sounds accurately so that your child can start to learn, read, and spell sounds. Reading aloud with ABCmouse’s books will also help your child practice all types of consonant sounds.

Types of Consonant Sounds

Say the sound for the letter P, “puh.” Your lips comes together to block air to make the sound. Consonants are classified according to how they are produced—the type of consonant sound depends on how you use your mouth, teeth, and lips and how you move air when you make the sound.

ABCmouse’s early childhood and elementary curriculum contains many activities and games designed to help your child practice proper mouth and tongue formation when sounding out beginning consonant sounds.

Activities on ABCmouse, such as “First Letter in Line,” help your child listen for and use beginning consonant sounds. The sounds are isolated and then blended to show how letters work to build sounds and words.

Places of Articulation

Articulation is the act of making clear and distinct sounds. You make the sound of the letters P, B, and N by bringing your lips together. Your lips are one place of articulation. Some other places are

• your lower lip and your upper teeth: F and V.

• the tip of your tongue on your teeth: T, D, N, S, Z, and L.

• in the back of the mouth at the palate: K and G (when G makes the sound as in go).

• in the throat: H.

ABCmouse has many activities and books that will help your child hear different beginning consonant sounds, such as “Alphabet Sounds at the Zoo.”

Manner of Articulation

Consonant sounds have different manners, or ways, of articulation. When you make the sound of the letter S, for example, you put your tongue toward your teeth. Then, you push air through the opening to make the sound.

ABCmouse provides entertaining interactions for your child to hear articulation of types of consonant sounds, such as the book series Alphabet Sounds on the Farm.

Voiced vs. Unvoiced

When speaking, you use your vocal cords to make a voiced consonant sound. An unvoiced consonant sound doesn’t need your vocal cords.

Lightly place a finger on your throat when you make a consonant sound. If you feel vibrations, the consonant is a voiced sound. Dog, go, and man start with voiced consonant sounds.

Unvoiced consonants will not make your throat vibrate. Fish, paw, and song have beginning unvoiced consonant sounds.

Your child can listen to and practice voiced and unvoiced beginning consonant sounds through ABCmouse’s variety of activities, including “Ring the Bell.”

Moreover, the image and appearance of the singer in an unexpected way resonate with the repertoire. This is the case when the name of the performer does not merge into the overall picture with style, but rather is associated with creativity. How Hana's music sounds can be judged by her track of the same name. “Music sounds” - this composition is 2019year, which harmoniously fit into the creative biography of the artist.

The history of the creation of the song " Music sounds ", as well as interesting facts, text and content of the composition, read on our page. 11 September 2019 It cannot be called loud otherwise than for the reason that both the musical side and the lyrics of the composition are aimed at reaching out to a wide audience. The song immediately gained the status of a potential hit, and over time, this was expressed in her presence in many charts.

It is curious that the composition "lay on the table" for a whole year and a half. On the other hand, this is practically a routine situation for Hannah. For example, the artist's debut album contains songs that have been recorded over the past five years. The singer adheres to the credo that the song, like wine, should be infused and released at the right time. Also, this creative aspect shows that despite the fact that the single was written by songwriter Dima Loren, the last word in the publication of the material remains with the performer.

The name “Music sounds”, judging by the reaction of the fans, has become speaking. The composition can really be heard in completely different and completely unexpected places, from television broadcasts to smartphones of young people. Immediately after the premiere of the song, a lot of positive comments appeared: “The ringtone is already on call, the track is just flying away”, “Already downloaded! I really like the composition”, “Hannaaaa, what an amazing song, how I was waiting for it!”. To reinforce the success, the singer presented a video clip with a relevant meaning. The music video was featured on Hanna's official YouTube channel.

Interesting facts

It can hardly be said that the name "Hannah" is familiar to the Russian ear. On the other hand, the semantics of this pseudonym is quite logical: Hannah is a variation on the passport name of the star, who, in fact, is called Anna Ivanova.
As a child, the performer had practically no free time: Anna studied vocals, acting and ballroom dancing, and also went to a music school, where she studied choral singing and studied solfeggio. Thus, one can understand where the singer has such an ability to work today.

Dima Loren, author of the song "Music Sounds" is also known for creating hits for Svetlana Loboda, Elena Temnikova and many other artists, including residents of the Black Star label, to which Hanna herself is signed.
The singer's collaboration with the Black Star label is not accidental - after all, Anna is married to its CEO Pasha. However, the performer's debut album, like the song "Music Sounds", clearly demonstrates the artist's desire to go beyond the boundaries in which the label usually works. Urban culture does not have a decisive influence on the work of the star: it resorts to elements of R'n'B, but very dosed. If Hanna feels that deliberate fashion may be superfluous, she prefers a pleasant timbre and pop things that the conventional Golden Gramophone might like.
The video clip for the song "Music Sounds" tells about the escapism of the younger generation - their desire to escape from reality into the virtual world. The plot takes you to the near future and, as conceived by the authors, encourages you to devote more time to real life than to a fictional image. Today, when many teenagers spend most of their time on social networks, this topic is relevant. Hanna herself in the film adaptation tried on the role of a wise virtual geisha who watches what is happening on the other side of the screen. She knows that such an attitude towards the present and an escape from virtuality has negative consequences, but does not interfere.
Hanna dreams of singing a duet with Enrique Iglesias . While still a little girl, she listened to his romantic songs and dreamed that sooner or later she would record a song with him.
The artist is not only engaged in musical activities: the other day, Anna introduced her own clothing brand - "XGirl by Hanna". All models belong to the "handmade" category and are created in just a few copies.

Content and lyrics of the song “Music sounds”

“Music Sounds” is a simple but rather catchy composition with an actual semantic load. Like the music video, the track refers to the virtual world: for example, the lyrics mention "Instagram" and "Whatsapp". However, in the song, the heroine is not mired in a parallel reality, but goes to a club with her friends, where she “moves to the rhythm” of the music.

The track tells not only about the modern masks that we wear on the Internet, but also about the difficulties in relationships. The heroine and her soulmate want to ask each other for forgiveness, but instead they hurt one another. In the club, she can afford not to constantly look back at the phone and have some fun with her friends. By the way, like in dance song Max Barsky "Lei, don't be sorry" , Friday is assumed as the time frame ("Friday, but I don't have a face...").

Hanna herself is very happy that the composition has finally been presented to the public. Having released it in the fall, the singer believes that it fits this time of year perfectly. The song was also loved by numerous fans, who voiced the expectations of the video clip with enviable constancy. One can only guess whether the future vector of the artist's work will correspond to the theme and rhythm « Music sounds like " but seems to be one of Hanna's biggest hits at the moment.

This year we celebrate 77 years since the Great Victory Day. On the eve of this date, the city on the Neva hosts many festive events dedicated to May 9th. Among them is the performance of the brass band of the St. Petersburg Head Office of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, which took place today in the Summer Garden. This concert is a kind of dedication to the great city and all its defenders, a dedication to the feat of the fallen and those who managed to survive and win in the harsh years of the war and the siege of Leningrad.

For the visitors of the Summer Garden "fire musicians" performed the best melodies of the war years. They were accompanied by the famous fountains of the garden - scatterings of water splashes rising to the sky to the music set a special tone for the event.

Few people know, but the "fire band" has existed in the city on the Neva for almost 140 years. And it all started back in 1876. Then, at the fire brigade, by order of the mayor of St. Petersburg, a “musician team” was created. The team, which consisted of thirty-five musicians, already at the very beginning of its activity began to adopt the best traditions of Russian brass bands. The orchestra has a rich history, full of vivid facts and events. Wherever the “fire musicians” appeared, everywhere they aroused the admiration and rejoicing of the public.

Nowadays, in the brass band of the Main Directorate of the EMERCOM of Russia in St. Petersburg, representatives of completely different generations: the age range of musicians is from 25 to 75 years. Their musical repertoire is just as varied. Everyone plays: from complex classical pieces to modern melodies. Many artists have departmental awards and certificates of honor from the Ministry, some even bear the proud title of Honored Artist of Russia.

The Orchestra of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for St. Petersburg performs at various events of the Glavka, participates in concerts and parades, competitions of various types, plays at celebrations dedicated to the City Day, and other significant city events.

For those who couldn't get to the concert of the brass band of the St.
