Getting in some all-important quality time with her man, Shakira was spotted out and about at Punta del Este in Uruguay. The Shakira music videos are known for being raunchy and very suggestive.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” songstress strolled along the beach with Antonio de la Rua, attracting the attention of the paparazzi almost instantly.

32-year old Shakira’s latest English album, She Wolf, is one of the most anticipated albums of 2009. Already a household name, Shakira maintains her diva status and reaffirms herself as a pop icon on this beautifully crafted album.

The Album features the current smash hit single “She Wolf”, the follow up “Did it Again” and the more easy on the ear “Gypsy”. On She Wolf, Shakira combines her vocal skills with a variety of world sounds, creating a whole new world for the Colombian singing sensation that is Shakira.

The hours were ticking down toward the American Music Awards telecast amid the usual frenzy of sound checks and lighting cues.

And from the moment Shakira stepped onstage in stiletto boots, skin-tight pants and jacket, it was clear who was running the show.

For the next hour, the Colombian pop star sorted out the paces of her performance, issuing instructions to her music crew, demonstrating moves to dancers and conferring with her manager and choreographer

Got so much music you’re not quite sure what to do with yourself? Apple knew how that felt and launched the iPod classic in October 2001. Now seven years on and 6 generations later the iPod can not only play great quality music as it did in origin but it can also play videos, allow the user to browse the web, watch movies and tv shows and view digital photographs.

Using Apple’s Safari web browser on the iPod Touch the user can surf the internet using WiFi connections. Since WiFi is becoming so much more widespread these days, having an iPod Touch is like having a mini computer on hand at all times. Connect directly to the Apple iTunes store and download songs to listen to immediately with the headphones included in the package. Alternatively set it down and use the built in speaker to share music, check your emails, update your calendar, watch videos and view personal photographs. They’re available in the shops and online with either 8GB or 16GB memory from around £175.

The iPod Touch is just one of four different models of iPod available, along with the 6th generation iPod Classic in black and silver with either 80GB or 160GB memory.

Last but not least we look to the iPod shuffle, Apple’s smallest portable media player, which is on sale for an equally small price of around £35 to £50. Its 12 hour playback and up to 240 song storage limit (1GB) means you can have all your favourite tracks with you wherever you go. They’re customizable too with sport cases and sleeves to protect them from the rain and docks to allow easy connection to PCs.

Buying an iPod online means you can browse through the specifications of each one at your own pace to get an unbiased view. Read reviews from existing customers, compare prices and take your own time. The best thing about it is that you can get Apple’s answer to portable music delivered right to your door without even having to leave your seat!

We’ve all heard of them. Child prodigies who begin composing music at some ridiculously young age. For instance, history reports that Mozart was writing minuets by the time he was five years old. Amazing. At five years of age, I’m not sure that I knew the difference between my finger and my thumb and I certainly wasn’t composing music.

Now there is no doubt that the fact that Mozart was composing music by the age of five does not prove that any of the rest of us ever could compose music, but a number of studies conducted over the past fifty or so years indicates that most children can begin composing music as long as they are given both guidance and opportunity.

True, in the vast majority of the cases the end product is not going to rival anything that Mozart put out, but just because you (or your child) may not be the best there ever was at composing music doesn’t mean the attempt is not worth the effort. If we follow that reasoning why would a child learn to walk or run when he or she knows he could never walk or run as well as, say, Michael Jordan? Why would they learn to talk if they knew they could never speak as well as Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan?

Similarly, imagine if Mozart’s parents had not given him the opportunity to be exposed to music and then the formal training that gave him the tools to begin composing music. The world would be a poorer place without the input of this musical genius.

In Mozart’s situation, he began formal training on the keyboard at the age of four and within a year he was composing music - though I’m sure that it wasn’t of the caliber of his later works. In the case of the average child, however studies have shown that if given the opportunity and the education (i.e. instruction on an instrument, a little bit of music theory, etc) average children can begin composing music somewhere around the age of nine.

Give your child the opportunity and training he or she needs to begin composing music. In most cases it will develop their mind, round out their education, and give them a creative outlet. Eventually, however, of all the children composing music who might not have otherwise, the next Mozart will spring and if it’s your child, the world will thank you. And if not, at least your child has been exposed to some good music and had his or her mind stretched a bit.

I am extremely thankful that my parents had the good sense to expose me to music by way of piano lessons starting when I was about 7. And even though it didn’t “take” until I was an early teenager, when it did I had the background in music theory and technique to where I could progress rapidly from then on. And while I’m a country mile from Mozart’s class, I do well enough to enjoy my self and make a living in music.
