well i don't do it all the time. if you put too much you will see A LOT OF VISABLE WHITE DUST on your violin which is not good.(If you don't clean the dust off the strings and under the strings it will make your violin lose it's varnish(shiny polish))If you put too little you will start to notice that your notes are not quite as bold or that your bow is starting to slide right off the strings.So apply it when you need it.

I teach English part-time. It all depends on the level of my students. Adults prefer lots of role-playing, drama (speaking exercises) and learning stuff they can use at work, so the culture tends to be informal but professional. With high school students, I get them to open up and talk about stuff they're interested in and tailor-make my lessons to suit their interests. The atmosphere is casual and open where teacher and student are like friends. But with younger kids, you can't afford to give too much flexibility and freedom coz they're too young to appreciate it. I tend to be strict and to the point, get your work done or else.

You should practice you instrument everyday. If you can't then you should put sticky notes everywhere in the house that you would normally go so you remind yourself everywhere.

I would say get ur proffessor or teacher to tell u that. They are trained to explain things.

Different people learn differently. My daughter does great in a group, it really helps her. One of my grandchildren needs to be alone to learn his lessons. He gets it just from reading, I excel in a lecture class.

Meditate an hour before class. During your mediation try to concentrate on what moves you will be teaching, and try to in vision a situation where the technique would be able to be applied. Also the most important key to teaching (no matter what the subject may be) is to be repetitive. If it means teaching the same few techniques for three lessons in a row it is truly the best way to get it to stick with your students. Good luck, I'm sure you will be a great teacher.

The violin/viola, because the fingering is more complex.  Anyone who hears an amateur during practice time will agree...a student playing a violin sounds like an angry toddler stomping on a cat...many appalling screeches.

Tell the teacher exactly what you told us. I'm sure the teacher will understand and don't be shy. I'm sure it'll work out fine. I myself have experience Believe in yourself.Ask your friends to help too. I think the situation right now is she is spoiled and she thinks she is so hot and smart! Is that right? I hope this helps with your problem at school, but remember one thing DO NOT APOLIGIZE TO HER!!! That will make her seem like she is the queen or something. Just choose a song yourself and perform it.\n\nGood Luck!

Well first and foremost thing is that you shud own a guitar, and if available and feasible, a good one. I own onw from Yamaha.\nNow coming to your question, it depends on what type of learner you are... you should be dedicated and have someone to tell you some basic tips.. after that you can go along yourself...\nYou should take care of your beating, changing chords come second, firstly you should do something like this... 1 2 3 4, beat the same chord four times slowly.. and do take care of timing...do it slowly, don't miss even one string while beating as per the instructions for playing that specific chord...\nIve only been playing for a month and now i kno almost all basics,, and i can play any song provided to me after few practices....and meet out your friends for help.. it will quicken your pace,,,, you can become better than you dude in 6 months if you play well........ n hey i'll be playing knock knock by GNR and singing it in our school function shortly.. me a guy who has had a guitar only for  a month!.. you can download easy chord\nat www.subjectmusic.com/easychord .. it helps n is available 4 free!\nhave fun dude..

As a musician (although a lazy one) I prefer listening to classical or Romantic music on a regular basis. However, if I am cramming for a test I do best with no music on at all, especially if it's technical information. I found that out the hard way in chemistry in high school, where listening to mood music in the background proved a terrible distraction for about four of us in the class. We were directed back into the quiet lab to finish our assignment, and that worked out. I think the chemistry teacher was trying to find out if using mood music would help us concentrate better in class. I guess if you are into composing and analyzing music to any extent, it is better to keep music separate from most studying, as listening to music would not be a passive activity.

It doesn't hurt to say hi to her. You are worrying about nothing. It isn't like you are having tea and cookies every weekend. You should be happy your teacher even acknowledged you. Shows that she cares. Just say hi to her and go about your business.

Done it !! I think it's a good idea in principle, as long as the teacher doesn't need to gain your attention and you can prove by the quality of your work that the music doesn't distract you.  I put my ipod on when I want to work without being disturbed so why shouldn't you be able to.

Don't you hate it when people say listen carefully instead of listening themselves. People suck.\nAnd besides, it was the correct answer. The teacher got it wrong. Teachers suck.

Studies have shown that if you record your lesson and play it over and over again even in your sleep your brain tends to retain more. However, in 3 days you're asking alot. It doesn't hurt to try though.

I'm not a music teacher, but I'm a music student. At my school we do recording projects and charge $10 for a CD, everyone loves that. We normally do ours around Christmas. We also have a calendar. We take pictures of the different music activities and make it into a calendar for the up coming year, people seem to buy those as well. Hope these ideas help a little bit, if not good luck!
