Meeting with Rachael on 2015/07/05 We talked about how Apple music was able to change the music industry. Pronunciation: provide: I tend to drop the "de" sound, which could be confusing. months: I tend to miss the 's' sound. Corrections: feedback loop: this is actually a computer terminology and it can be a good metaphor for getting constant feedback on learning something. "top billboard" and "top 20 hits": both can be used to express the list of songs/music that are currently hits. comfort zone: not "comfortable zone". New words: takes: Making a song usually needs several takes. "takes" is similar to "iterations". niche: used to describe something that only a small group of people like. The music genre I like is a small niche. rake in profit: I knew someone who managed to rake in a huge profit from making kindle books. giveaway: Apple music provides giveaway for the first three months. label: the company that produces musical recordings. a huge cut: One can avoid paying a huge cut by publishing their music on Apple music. home studio post-production lost the edge: the record industry lost its edge. about face: The heads of those labels need to become about-face and learn to take smaller margins. Others: Rachael (I think I mispronunciated your name) also teaches playing musical instruments, such as flute, piano, saxophone. She has a new book on Amazon called "How to Touch Type in English and Hebrew".
