3 Life Lessons from Tragedy - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 3 Life Lessons from Tragedy - Introvert Whisperer 3 Life Lessons from Tragedy We went on vacation where most of our time was spent in former Eastern Europe communist countries, including Serbia and Croatia. While in Croatia, we were hosted in a home of a woman who told her story of what took place during the civil war with Serbia and Yugoslavia. As a young couple, they had to quickly flee their home with their baby to a neighboring town. They couldn’t go by land (walk or drive) because landmines had been set on the ground for miles between the towns so they fled by floating down the Danube River in a makeshift raft. They thought they would be gone for a few weeks. It was 7 years before they could return to their home that had been leveled. Their town had been destroyed. No jobs. No resources. No home. It was a fascinating thing to hear what they had to do to simply survive. But now, 20 years later, what her life was like. I made 3 observations about her life story that I think translates into good life lessons. Your career may not be the one you thought it was going to be but that doesn’t mean it has to be a bad thing. This woman had pieced together a unique job of hosting tour groups into her home for tea and homemade pastry. It wasn’t her direction 20 years ago; in fact, she did administrative work in a local factory. But she had hit on a unique opportunity that worked for her with the circumstance she was dealing with. It was clear she was very satisfied with her work. Don’t hold a grudge. Her home was destroyed along with the death of family and friends by the hands of her neighboring state. It’s the equivalent of people from Missouri coming over here to Kansas and doing the same thing. It might be hard to think kindly of a group of people that did those bad things but this woman didn’t hold a grudge. It happened and it was bad. You move on and focus on making the most of every day. What you tell yourself is the most powerful dialogue you can have. This woman did note that she could choose to be unhappy because of how bad a big part of her life had gone but she didn’t. It was obvious her self-talk was to be happy, productive and to move forward in life. The talk you have going on in your own head about your career or your life paints everything you do. It’s a choice each and every day. Why not choose to be happy? Be thankful. OK, I didn’t count this one, but this one came from me. I’m so thankful I live in a peaceful place and haven’t had to confront war and survival. I’m thankful for my life. I hope these life lessons work for you.

The Practice Decathlon 10 Music Theory Games Exercises to Try

The Practice Decathlon 10 Music Theory Games Exercises to Try Suzy S. Are you in a practice rut? Mix things up with these ear training exercises and music theory games for kids and beyond, compiled by music teacher Alicia B... Its no secret that professional  athletes have to train rigorously to reach the top of the medal podium. The path of music is similar, and youd be surprised how your training is no different! Learning to play an instrument takes dedicated practice, mental stamina, and an organized plan for success. But dont worry it doesnt have to be just scales and etudes over and over. Music games can be  effective for all ages, and are worth incorporating in your practice time especially if you feel like youre in a rut! So adults, its time to bring out your inner kid. And parents, its time to grab the kids and have some fun as a family! Heres a set of music theory games and ear training exercises that you can play all summer long. Mastering The Staff Age group:  Kids to adults Players needed: 1 One of the first building blocks of music is learning the musical  staff (or staves). You may recall the first mnemonic device in order to learn your lines of the treble clef, “Every Good Boy Does Fine.” For this music theory exercise, lets take this idea one step further with a memory game. To begin, make a set of flashcards with  a certain line or space (e.g. “first line” or “second space”) on the front, and the correct answer (e.g., “E” or “A,” respectively) on the back. Start a timer and see how many correct answers you can get in 30 seconds. Making these cards without drawing an actual staff allows you to visualize it in your head, which jump-starts your recall abilities. Of course, you also have the option of using the staff. These note name flashcards are commonly available for purchase or you can search for printable versions. Musictheory.net has a great online version of this game  where you can set the range of notes, including all your ledger lines above and below the staff. Get Into The Rhythm Age group:  Kids to adults Players needed: 1 We can all clap along to a beat, but how well can you tap it? This series of exercises focuses on separating your instrument from your rhythm reading, so all youre required to do is tap your finger! One way to practice is to take any line from the method book you use. Try to see if you can tap the correct rhythm along with a slow metronome. Can you get it right in one try? There are a few apps that create this as a game where you tap along to a randomly generated notated rhythm. Some apps, like Rhythm Tap, also allow you to adjust the note values (so if you havent seen a triplet or sixteenth note just yet, dont stress, you dont have to include it). The Hot Potato Staff Game Age group:  Kids Players needed: 2+ This is one of the music theory games I use with my own students! Parents, you can easily play it with your kids. Gather players in a circle and start with your “potato” (in my case, its a stuffed frog named Mr. Hoppers). The game begins with you tossing the potato and immediately posing a question (e.g.,“Whats the letter name of the third line in treble clef?” or “Third line treble clef!” for short);  the child who catches the potato responds and tosses it back. This is a great game for students of all levels because it asks you to imagine the staff in your head, bridging a recall gap from just memorizing Every Good Boy Does Fine. Become Your Ears Personal Trainer Age group: Teens  to adults Players needed: 1 Its a common misconception that you either have a good musical ear or you dont;  with the right ear training exercises, you can definitely improve! For this exercise, all you need is a keyboard and some Post-It Notes. Number your keys one through eight and close your eyes. With your left hand on key 1, randomly play a different numbered key with the right hand. Try to figure out what interval you heard. Open your eyes and check if you were right. There are also a few apps for interval training;  heres one I like  from Musictheory.net. Mission Transposition Age group: Teens  to adults Players needed: 1 If youve learned a little bit about your key signatures, a fun way to revisit old material while improving your key signature knowledge is transposition! This music theory exercise is simple: take a song you know well (and have memorized) and start it on a different note. If it sounds funny, correct each note as you go along, and youll notice youre actually following the key change that occurred. A great way to start is with “Twinkle, Twinkle” in the key of C major, then moving it to G major (dont forget your F sharp!), then F major (B flat city). You can also give a twist to a “happy” song in C major by moving it three steps down to the more “sad” A minor. Music Marathon Age group: Kids  to adults Players needed: 1 Its surprising how often new students have actually never heard the different genres of music their instrument can offer. We often hear about binge-watching movies, but have you ever listened to an entire symphony? Sat through an opera or musical? What about a full album start to finish? To be a gold-medal musician, you need to be a gold-medal music appreciator. Take the plunge and dedicate a block of time to listening without distraction. Take notes of what interested you or how it made you feel. These are the doors you open to yourself as you walk down the figurative music hallway. You may find a new genre and re-inspire yourself to pick up your instrument and start practicing! Pitch Detective Age group: Teens  to adults Players needed: 2+ Similar to identifying  intervals, recognizing pitches is a vital part of ear training. For this exercise, pick a major or minor key, and have another person play the root note (first note of the scale), and any other note in the scale. Its your challenge  to name not only the interval that was played, but the name of the note. This game gets particularly difficult when the flats and sharps increase. The more you play this game, the stronger  your  ear will become. Once you master finding the pitch, ask a partner to play four notes in the scale (starting with the root), and see if you can write the notes down on staff paper. Rhythm Jumpers Age group:  Kids Players needed: 2+ These next two music theory games are for kids again. This one takes elements from “Mother, May I?” to create a slow-moving race while jumping to correct rhythms. To play, the “mother” thinks of a note (or rhythm pattern) and asks each player to jump the rhythm (e.g. a single whole note would be one jump and holding four counts, while a half note/quarter/quarter pattern would be a jump lasting two counts followed by two more jumps). Whoever gets to the finish line (first) wins! Kids love to utilize their whole bodies to learn.  Its a great break from sitting, and by the end, everyone will have learned note duration in a fun, physical way! Tempo Light Age group:  Kids Players needed: 2+ All you need for this game is a finish line. Have the child(ren) line up and get ready to listen. To start,  choose four tempos to shout out, all of which mean different speeds (similar to red light, green light). For example, shouting out “andante” means everyone goes at a walking pace, but “allegro” means go fast! See if they match the tempos correctly. If they dont, its back to the starting line. Use your “red light” by shouting, “fermata!” and see how they freeze in their tracks. Performance Time Age group:  All ages Players needed:  1 Last but not least, performing for others is a great way to get out of a practice rut for all ages. Think of it  as similar to the gymnastics floor routine: impressive, creative, stylistic, and acts as the culmination of other events. For kids, a more casual performance, even if its for friends or family in the living room, can take the edge off of more formal performances. And for adults, you may not have the same recital opportunities as kids, so youll have to make your own. It may be nerve-wracking, but performing in front of others and  overcoming stage fright is an important part of learning. Remember, to become a “gold medal” musician, you have to play to win!

Two Uncomplicated Ways of Transforming Your Guitar Sound

Two Uncomplicated Ways of Transforming Your Guitar Sound Suzy S. Are you stuck in a musical rut? New tunings and tricks can help you keep learning guitar in fresh, fun ways. Try one of these great tips from guitar teacher Samuel B. to breathe new life into your guitar playing One of the first things I tell any new student is that I dont specialize in a formal discipline. If jazz or classical training is your objective, then Im not your guy. Instead, I specialize primarily in American roots music (that which we tend to casually lump together as folk and/or rock). Fortunately, my sharing this information has not prompted any student to pick up their instrument and walk out the door. Although it took me literally years to buy it, a collaborator from my college days introduced me to the idea that any musician can bridge stylistic gaps with a few simple tricks. At the time, my position was that I was a blues-rock guitarist and thats all there was to it. However, a simple repeated lick I contributed to a song that he and I compiled a few years later (involving a single minor chord and an effects pedal) introduced a Latin-sounding slant to our primarily standard American sound. If youre stuck in a stylistic box, sometimes simple things can add a little more spice to your guitar playing. Branching Out Into Jazz In many ways, the Blues, Country music, Appalachian sounds (particularly Bluegrass), Gospel, campfire songs, and all forms of singer-songwriter material are really six different versions of the same thing. First of all, they are all based around the same three chords (the ones that are based on the first, fourth, and fifth notes of a scale C, F and G7th for example). Patterns involving these three chords make for everything you will learn in the first three keys (C, D, and E) I will teach you. Playing formal jazz (another basic yet more structurally complex form of American music) involves memorizing not only complex advanced scales, but also chords involving several variations (ie minor seventh suspended) a piece. As indicated, I cant claim relevant training or even the ability to sight-read any chord with more than two variations to its name. However, two simple alternate chord formations will transform a standard one-four-five American roots pattern into the more complex structure of a standard jazz tune. In a previous article, I introduced triads as a precursor to learning barre chords: E|||| B|||| G||-O|| D|-O||| A|||| E|-O||| E|||| B|||| G||-O|| D|-O||| A||-O|| E|||| These two formations (based on the first-position E and B7th chords respectively) make for colorful alternatives to first-position major chords when played together in a one-four-five pattern. Just play the first one a full step two frets up from whichever position in which youre alternating between it and the other one to complete said pattern. They also make for wonderful experimental material. Just a few dry runs up and down the neck of ANY combination of them create the sonic territory of a solo jazz guitar piece. I also recommend experimenting with finger-picking patterns to effectively create melodies to accompany the complex progressions youll be creating. Experimenting With An Open Tuning The best way to enliven your sound without shifting genres is to tune to an open chord. Open D (D, A, F#, D, A, D) is customary for the six genres I cited above. I recently recorded a collaborative album on which I used this tuning exclusively. Predictably enough, strumming it openly produces a D chord. Placing one finger (I recommend the thumb) over the bottom four strings produces major chords theoretically identical yet aurally distinct from the ones in first position (standard tuning). D |||| A |||| F#||-O|| D ||-O|| A ||-O|| D ||-O|| Play around with this tuning (up and down the neck as with the triads). Try variations such as holding down the bottom THREE strings instead. After all, the fourth one is the middle (third) degree of the chord the one that determines whether the chord is major, minor, augmented, diminished, or perhaps some other lesser-known yet equally compelling label. Open tunings are commonplace for many household artists. Joni Mitchell uses them exclusively. Neil Young, Keith Richards, and John Mellencamp are also frequent subscribers. My inspiration for using and sharing the thumb chords is Richie Havens who had relevant instructional material published before his recent death. Open tunings are ideal territory for experimenting with open-handed picking and/or slide techniques (involving the use of a glass or steel tube on the pinkie finger). See what works best for you, and keep having fun learning guitar! Samuel B. teaches beginner  guitar lessons in Austin, TX.

How Technology Is Improving Tutoring

How Technology Is Improving Tutoring Improving Academic Performance Technology is helping tutors, teachers, and other education professionals go beyond the classroom and textbooks to help students learn. Online courses and lectures, 3-D modeling, videos, infographics, and other online media encourage students to go further than just memorization and notetaking. Technological developments allow students to fully immerse themselves in the material, revisit lectures, and gain a better understanding of the material through various pathways of learning. New technology is particularly beneficial where traditional methods of teaching have fallen short. Tutors are often brought in when a student is experiencing difficulty understanding a topic. Typically the more abstract subjects, like math or physics, require more assistance for students. Advances in technology have made learning much easier for students who learn visually--those who need to see representations or videos of topics that are hard to understand in standard textbook and lecture methods. Tutors have an opportunity where most teachers do not--to implement new technology to help their students learn. Digital simulations and models go well beyond 2-D representations or a process flowchart. Certain concepts are a challenge to understand when the student is unable to see the behavior in action (like physics). With technology, tutors and teachers are able to bring simulations and modeling into the classroom, assisting students who have difficulty grasping the information through verbal discussion. Technological simulations allow students to have a hands-on experience, which often helps them retain information better. It’s like having lab in the middle of class. Technology removes physical barriers and allows you to learn from anywhere in the world. This greatly opens up the world of education. For example, you could learn your math lessons from an online math tutor program that comes with a variety of support, rather than trying to figure it out on your own. Or, why not get help with science homework with an online physics tutor from a prestigious physics program, rather than paying the kid from down the street? If you’re trying to learn another language, online language sites that connect students with native speakers through videoconferencing can be an amazing educational opportunity. The social interaction and opportunity to learn about another culture without having to relocate to another country is priceless. Technology also enables students to work together on group projects more easily. Various platforms like Podio, Google Drive, Basecamp, and Dropbox make it simpler than ever to share information, documents and research, while assigning tasks and responsibilities. With many recent publications, studies, and books coming out through online platforms, lugging around heavy books will soon be a thing of the past. Instead of having to buy heavy sets of books, additional readings, and lecture notes at the start of each quarter, semester or year, textbooks will literally just be a swipe away on your iPad or tablet. The recent introduction of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), which enables top tier universities’ classes to become increasingly available to the general public, allows for more people to have online access to some of the best education in the world. As the courses and platforms become further advanced, the college may recommend tutors in physics, math, or other subjects, and even provide online tutoring services. Online programs make it easy for people to gain a career that, several years ago, was only possible with four years on a university campus. Whether it is a desire to become a nurse’s aid, a technician, or even how to become a medical assistant, these are all viable options accessible online. With such great online support, this pathway to a career is wide open. Unfortunately, in-class lectures are not the easiest things to remember. Between rapidly copying down notes and asking questions, it seems like you are always playing catch-up. Fortunately, lectures can now be pre-recorded and accessed anytime, anywhere, and as frequently as the student needs. No more missing out on valuable informationâ€"with the notes and lectures available at any time for students to visit at their leisure, they are able to invest more attention to in-session lectures. This means that classroom time can be more devoted to supplementing lecture content through discussions and QA. Teachers and tutors also have more ways to improve, based on the analytics and questions received post lectures. Technological advances are changing the face of education. While teachers might be slightly restricted by funding or school policies, private institutions and online tutor programs can harness the benefits of technology to improve the learning of their students.
