Getting your PC to Teach you the Blues

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Learning an instrument, a creative endeavour, from a PC might be an oxy moron, but for me it’s what first introduced me to the blues. I had signed up to a guitar membership site wanting to take their lessons for a spin and decided I’d start with their online blues guitar lessons first. I wasn’t really familiar with any of the skills or techniques of playing the blues so I started with the beginner area. After a lesson or two I understood the 12 bar blues and was quickly learning them in a variety of keys as well as how to start learning some lead skills. For someone looking to get started I believe this is a solid option that is really cost effective.

A promotional video helped me and my friends have the best camping trip ever.

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

My friends and I were planning a camping trip soon and stopped by a camping store to get much needed supplies. While we were there we saw a video playing about some new equipment that would really help to make a camping experience great. The video was amazing how it really explained everything in full detail. The video production company that made that video really knew how to make it so that it would not only be helpful but really get people’s attention. That video really helped my friends and I to have the best camping trip we ever had.  

A Hidden Talent

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

My family really enjoys listening and playing music.  My son has fortunately picked up on this great passion.  He has been taking lessons to better his skill of playing the guitar.  Also, he is being educated on the fabulous technique of playing blues guitar licks.  Even more, I just now realized that my husband’s uncle loves to play any instrument he can get his hands on.  This is great for my son, because his uncle is very familiar with the guitar.  We were not aware of his talent, because my husband’s uncle lives on the other side of the country, and we rarely keep in touch.  Everyone is just so busy.  Nevertheless, his hidden talent is a great surprise to us.

My Favorite Actor in Movies

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Gosh, I have so many favorite actors that it is hard to choose just one. One of my favorites just has to be Edward Norton. He is a great character actor and his movies just take me away. My two favorite flicks that he did were “The Score” and “The Painted Veil”.  Both displayed a talented character actor. I could see him winning an award for either one of them. “The Score” with Robert Dinero was more popular than “The Painted Veil”, but they both were extremely awesome. They are both the type of movie you could watch over and over again.

Family Portraits Needed

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

I was on my way to work when my cell phone rang. I placed the call to speaker phone and found that my mother was seemingly agitated about the fact that we had not been together as a family to have a portrait taken in some time. I told my mother that I agreed that it would be nice to have the family together for a family portrait. After hanging up, I set out to find reputable los angeles family photographers who would be able to take our family portrait with in the next two weeks. Once I found one, I called my mother back with the great news.

Great wedding photographers

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

My daughter recently hired some Chicago wedding photographers to cover her two day wedding event.  One of them is a photojournalist who worked as a newspaper photographer and he has a keen eye for candid photos and details.  He’s also going to create a wedding slideshow for her to present at the wedding reception.  That will feature the bride and groom as kids, growing up and dating.  If you’re like my daughter, having a qualified photographer to capture all the moments should be at the top of your list.

What to do when your music class won’t listen

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

When a music class won’t listen or continually doesn’t pay attention when you are speaking it is time that you identified your classroom management strategies and started to really manage yourself. Once you manage yourself and your own state, you can then hope to influence others. If you’re under control and you speak quietly and efficiently you’ll have their attention. The problem for music teachers is that there are so many distractions. when you actually have their attention what will happen is that someone will ask a question, or you’ll have to do something like tune a guitar, fix a broken string or find a part and before you know it you’ll have bedlam again. You may find it helpful to also use some Music Games for the Classroom to reward positive behavior at the end of the class.

My Best Friend

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

 During high school I would always watch music TV stations. I would always admire how the guitarists got so into their music that you could see their heart and body was all in to it. It was like I could see their passion for music coming through their performance.

I decided to take my paycheck and go get myself a guitar. Is was a beautiful red color. I did not know how to play at all. my friend from school would give me mini lessons everyday after school. He even helped me get my guitar scales right and I will be forever grateful for that.
