Medieval History Lesson

I am going to start teaching preschoolers piano, but I’m not sure where to start as far as lesson planning goes. I’ve been playing piano for 13 years and I’ve been working at a preschool for 3 years, so I know what I’m talking about, but I don’t know where to begin, as far as what to teach my first lesson, second lesson, and so on. Can someone please help!

My kids loved using Piano Party by Bastien. It is great for the 4-yr-old age. I haven’t had success with any of my boys before then. Please don’t teach Do-Rae-Me. That’s how I learned and it really kept me from my full potential. They should learn A-G for the notes.

I am a middle school chorus teacher and I would like a good, weekly lesson plan format. Anyone have one?

can you hlep me

I’ve been taking piano lessons for the last six years, and can sight read, read notes, play well, etc. Im 13 and have been thinking about stopping taking lessons. Piano isnt something i want to pursue as a career, but rather as enjoyment. I still want to play it casually at home or for others, but I think 6 years is enough, thoughts?

It is entirely up to you. Stop lessons if you feel like it. If you find you are ’slipping’ in ability and want to keep it, you might want to go back to lessons. If you find yourself playing less, maybe you are not that interested. If you are playing as often, and are happy with it, there you go.

The only thing to consider is not acting or being ‘flaky’ like an on-off switch as far as instruction goes. If you stop, stop for at least nine months to a year, long enough to see what happens and see if you want to return to taking lessons. If you return, commit to at least one year.

best regards.

I’ve been taking piano lessons for 1.5 years, and I have friends who have been taking lessons for 9 years. I am almost done with beginners, and I am playing songs like "Braveheart" by James Horner. I would like to start the violin someday, but I want to be fully advanced in piano first.

I really don’t think the time is the issue. If you really apply yourself to piano, you can become rather advanced at a fast pace. I’ve been playing piano for twelve years-six of which I took lessons during and now I play casually for my enjoyment. I’m sure if I applied myself and challenged myself again I could advance further.

What I’m trying to say here is that you don’t need to be playing for a prolonged period of time to be considered "advanced". You just need to challenge yourself and practice often!

Good luck =]

i had my introductory but next week is my proper lesson.

How was it for you? From then on did you realise becoming a pilot was for you?
Also do you think aged 17 [just turned] is ”old” for doing lessons now?
how many do you recommend doing in one month?

After my intro flight I was nothing but smiles and couldn’t wait to get started. I have to admit though, that not all parts of the training were always fun and I could feel both my blood and that of my instructor starting to boil at times, but I guess that’s all part of the training process. It can get very stressful at times and you may not grasp certain concepts immediately. Just keep in mind that most people don’t get certified in the minimum required time (average about 60 to 80 hours, I got mine in about 70) and be sure to save up, or have money in reserve for the extra expenditures.

There is also something else to be mindful of. From my experience, there are two kinds of post certified pilots. Many will get their pilots certificate and never fly again (i.e. they spent thousands of dollars for nothing). And then there are those, like me, that flying gets into their blood system like an incurable virus and you will forever want to keep flying (either as a hobby or as a living) and you might need to be prepared to spend a whole lot more money on training or for aircraft rental or purchase.

As for age and time. You only need to be 16 to start logging time so you are good to go. For how often, well, the longer it takes, the longer and more expensive it is. Flying is a degradable skill. If it’s not used, you loose it. Or at least you aren’t as proficient. If you don’t fly often then you may have to spend time brushing up on what you have learned or re learn it alltogether. So the more often you fly the better. Just be sure you can afford to do so.

So I got an acustic guitar for christmas and I was wondering where I should take lessons. I want the lesson to be in the middlesex aera of Massachusetts thanks!!

I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and have also taught lessons. I no longer teach. So, I can tell you with all honesty that online guitar lessons are the wave of the future. They’re also the most cost effective. I’d check them first. That way you can learn in the comfort of your own home.

Hope this helps?

okay. i’m in 10th grade. my child development class is visiting a preschool this week. my lesson plan has to follow the theme of teamwork and working togther. so i thought we could…

1. read the story the crayon box that talked (which teaches how if we all work together, we can create something beautiful)
2. each kid could be assigned a differnet crayon color, and they would have to work together and share to complete each other’s coloring sheets.
3. the kids would partner up and stand back to back with their arms linked togther. they would have to use teamwork to sit down and stand up again without letting go.

do you think this is okay? if have any feedback or suggestions to offer, that’d be great:)

I think that it might be a better idea to get a giant sheet of butcher paper and let each child use their crayon to work together on one giant piece of art instead of letting them color on each others papers. Children have a really hard time with this at that age, and that the teacher might discourage from coloring on the others papers because that might be something he/she is working on in the classroom NOT to do. Preschool aged children might not get part three either…I think the best thing to do would be to present your lesson plan early to your teacher to make sure she thinks it will work. He/She knows his/her students best, and this might be the perfect lesson plan or not work at all. Either way, I’m sure she’d be more than happy to help you find an activity that fits the lesson you are trying to teach or even help modify what ideas you already have. Good luck!

In To Kill A Mockingbird, how does Atticus’s lesson to scout about walking around in another persons skin apply to incidents with Miss Caroline, Walter Cunningham, and Burris Ewell? How could she have avoided trouble?

Because if she had walked around in their skin, she could have seen the situation from their point of view. I haven’t read the book for a while, but if the incident with Miss Caroline is the one where Scout gets in trouble in class, then Scout could have avoided that if she had seen it from Miss Caroline’s view because Miss Caroline was new to Maycomb and didn’t know the ways of the town, and if Scout had seen it from her point of view, she wouldn’t have gotten in trouble……

i think. haha.

Ive got a electric keyboard for christmas and i want to take lessons just to learn how to read sheet music how long should it take? and how much roughly are lessons??

If you play another instrument, it’s incredibly quick to learn the music. Although with a keyboard, it’s slightly different to a regular piano (more keys on piano). When you get lessons, the teacher will teach you the notes. Price of lessons vary. With my school it was about £360 for the whole year, I don’t know how much per lesson. But hunt around for the best deals, some teachers offer up to £20 per lesson, when a friend of mine gets them for £5! The music is written on a staff (probably spelt that wrong!) and has crotchets, minims, quavers, semi-breves, etc. mf means medium loud, p means quiet. Legato means played smoothly, Staccato means played quickly or sharply. Just remember that there are only 7 notes, repeated every octave ‘C D E F G A B’ (order correct when starting at middle C)

i would like to sign up for electric guitar lessons at a music school somewhere in singapore but i can’t find a music school that has electric guitar lessons. Most of it only has acoustic guitar lessons. Is there any music school out there in singapore that have electric guitar lessons?
