Problem: Article: Think about what you want to do and how long it will take. For example, if you need to plan an outfit and shave your beard, you may only need an hour or so. However, if you want to do makeup and style your hair, you will need as much time as you can get. If you’re on a time crunch, try to do some things ahead of time. For example:  Plan your outfit the day before. Do your hair before you go to work or school. If you dye your hair, touch up your roots a few days in advance. A large part of looking great is being clean. While you shower, complete any other grooming activities, such as shaving your legs, exfoliating your skin, or touching up your roots with hair dye.  Remember to apply deodorant after showering. Other shower grooming activities include:  Conditioning your hair to give it a silky shine Taking a bath to help you relax for the party Scrubbing your skin with a loofah to rub away dead skin After showering, cover your skin with moisturizer to make your skin glow and repair any damaged skin cells.  This step is especially important if you like taking hot showers or if you have recently exfoliated your skin. Additionally, wait thirty minutes after moisturizing to apply any makeup or it may slide off.  If you’ve shaved your legs, moisturize with baby oil to give them a glamorous shine.  If your face is oily, use a special moisturizer for acne-prone skin. For special occasions, consider using a tinted or shimmering moisturizer. If you have long hair, you may need to blow dry it before styling it. If you have short hair, you can let it air dry. If you don’t know how to style your hair, there are many helpful YouTube videos that will teach you how. Alternatively, if you’re attending an especially formal event, consider getting your hair styled professionally.  To straighten your hair, you will need a blow dryer, a brush, a straightening iron, and soft styling spray. If you want to curl your hair, you will need curlers or a curling iron and some setting hairspray. Men can style their hair with pomade or gel for a finished look. If you’re planning on wearing makeup, apply it after your hair is styled. When doing your makeup, apply the foundation first, seal it with a layer of powder, and then add any enhancements such as blush or mascara. You can also enhance particular features on your face. For example:  To highlight your eyes, wear liquid eyeliner. If you want to enhance your lips, wear a bold lipstick. To emphasize smooth skin, wear a high-quality foundation. Everyone looks better with clean nails. If you want to keep it simple, clean the dirt from under your nails with soap and water. Next, trim your nails and file the sharp edge off the ends. If you like using nail polish, choose a bold color that will compliment your makeup and outfit. You can paint your nails at home or visit a nail salon.
Summary: Plan ahead. Take a shower. Moisturize your skin. Fix your hair. Apply any makeup. Groom your nails.

Problem: Article: If you're still in high school, start developing your interest in physics early. Take extra physics classes, for instance, and join or start a physics club with like-minded individuals. Participate in science fairs. Apply for science camps in the summer to continue to develop your interest. Read as many books as you can about physics, including biographies about physicists.  It can help to find a role model. If there are physicists in your community, try contacting them to see if they'll help you in your pursuit. Many may be willing to have you shadow them for a period of time. Don't forget to invest time in math classes, as well, as math is essential to physics. Make sure you are well-rounded, though. To do well on college entrance exams, it helps to be proficient in as many subjects as possible. To get into a good school, you must do well on your entrance exams. In the United States, that means doing well on either the SAT or the ACT. Since you're applying for a science program, many schools may want the ACT over the SAT because the ACT has a science section where the SAT doesn't. However, it really depends on the school. To do well on these exams, you'll need to prep ahead of time. Your school may offer prep courses, but you can also purchase study guides that have practice tests. Taking practice tests gives you an idea of what the actual exam will be like, so you can go into the test with less anxiety. Look at universities with physics and science programs, or that are all-around good universities. Not only the top schools have programs in physics. Find a school which is a good fit for you. You can look into state schools with physics programs. Though not necessary, it can help to know whether you want to go into theoretical or experimental physics, though it's not a requirement.
Summary: Focus on physics in high school, if you can. Take your entrance exams. Find the right undergraduate program.

Problem: Article: A composition's tonality states the key and whether it is Major or Minor. At an early stage of composition, a key could be as simple as making an arbitrary choice, but it will have the biggest impact on the sound of your composition. If you finish your work later on and want to try  it out in different keys, you should do so, but be forewarned that it takes a fair amount of work to transpose a composition note by note into another key. The piano keyboard has been explored to death. Every possible combination has been tried and studied at this point. With that, theory can suggest the most appropriate chords. The most famous of these is the I-IV-V-vi progression (the lower case denotes a Minor chord). The Roman numerals indicate how many keys above the root the given chord is. These four chords have been proven to go together very well.  Try using a chord map to get you started.  Although this might sound too mathematical at the start, the truth is that it'll come without thinking to you once you get the basics of theory down pat. Scales are  useful tools in the creation of melody. Although melodies need to be properly felt out in order to be memorable and effective, using a scale will narrow down the notes you're conventionally supposed to use.  Make sure the scale you're using is in accordance with the chords and key you've chosen. The standard scale is a C Major scale. This scale is often used for vocal warm-ups before a performance. Some avant-garde composers in the 20th century would open up the piano itself and change the tuning of the strings, but prior to the adoption of equal temperament for keyboard instruments in the 18th century, there were numerous tunings in use. Changing all of the keys even a 16th of a step can result in a strange new experience of the piano. Be advised that messing around with a piano should only be done if you are an expert. Otherwise, you'll probably just end up sabotaging your piano for regular use. Notation is the technical language of music. If you're a serious composer, it's essential that you have at least some knowledge of notation and how to get your ideas down accurately on paper. Although it takes a little bit of time to get used to, there are fortunately lots of free online resources to help get you up to par with your notation reading and writing. If you're completely new to notation, you should try sight-reading a few basic songs on the piano until you're more used to it. There are digital notation programs that may prove easier to work with than pen and paper.
Summary:
Decide upon a tonality. Explore chord progressions leading from the root chord. Develop melodies from a chosen scale. Experiment with tuning. Record your work via notation.
