One on one lessons are too expensive.  Is there an alternative?  \n      To my knowledge, the local community colleges do not offer any harmonica classes.

Do you have a favorite song / artist ?\n\nTry to play along- You need to learn how the notes are located.\nTo play a 'Do-Rei-Me' scale you do need to try to bend two of the draw notes in the first 4 holes (#2 and # 3)- for the  complete scale in the first four holes.\nHoles 4-8 require no bending.\nMost harp players learn by ear- but do check out www.harphouse.com\nwww.harmonicamasterclass.com\nKeep trying...

I teach oboe and piano lessons at a local music store. I'm not sure what Skips is, but they are probably close to the same thing. You have to proficient on your instrument. You have to have experience playing and have a good musical background. You can make it a full-time job if you can get enough students and if you charge a decent amount for lessons. I have 18 students right now and I charge a flat fee of $72 a mont or $18 per lesson. Some other teachers at the same place charge as much as $25 a lesson. You should base your prices on your education and experience you have, as well as what the other teachers in the area are charging. If you charge too much, then no one will take lessons from you. \nSome music stores only accept teachers if they have the space and the need for another teacher. So try talking to someone who is in charge of the lesson stuff there and see if they even need another guitar teacher. But keep taking theory classes and lessons. Learn everything you can about your instrument. But remember, just because you know everything doesnt mean you will be a good teacher. Teaching is something you learn as you go or you just aren't cut out for it. \nYou dont necessarily have to have a music degree or anything for it, but it will help. People are more likely to take lessons from someone who has the education and experience to back up what they are saying. But that is one good thing about private lessons, you dont have to have a degree to get students. But it helps.\nHope this is enough info for you and good luck! :)

It's really according to what you are looking for. Certain teachers specialize in acoustic vs. electric (for example). Your best bet is to place a request on a service such as Click For Lessons that will show you several teacher bios and let you decide for yourself.

I doubt a community college would have a dedicated summer beginning violin program, but they might know where you could find one locally.  Your best bet is to call up the local schools and/or symphony orchestras to find out what's available.  If you can't find a summer program, consider just hiring a private teacher.  You'll need more than three months to make much progress, anyway.

You are missing out on great training. It sounds as though you're too much of a "diva" to learn your craft. I'm a music teacher and a voice coach at the university level and I'm here to tell you, harmony is a big part of your craft. You can only lose your own style if you allow it to happen.

try looking for contact numbers of your classmates on that suject or maybe try contacting your professor and ask him if you can hae anoter copy sent to you through mail or e-mail... you just hae to burden the fees... it's possible i think, you can give it a try right?

I'm not an echo tech or anything like that but I know that you can't do this online.  There are schools for this. Sonography is a hands on skill and you will have to pay the course fee to learn the equipment, the terminology, the body planes, the techniques and trouble-shooting.  But there's no harm in trying, is there?  It's easy to learn.

Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY is almost as good. And I've heard Curtis Institute is amazing but really hard to get into because if you can manage to get in I think you don't have to pay.

I've played semi-professionally and taught the guitar- I would strongly recommend a teacher. If your community has a local nonprofit music school, start her there. Also, if you are a member of a church, and there's a 'contemporary music group', that can be a great resource- I'd also look for a teacher(preferably young) who could come to your home-a local university's music department can recommend someone-it'll save the hassle of having to taxi over to the music store. I'll put the local music store a distant third for lessons.\nI've found out that children lose interest in music for two main reasons -the first is that there's no one to play with, and \nthe second is cheap, poorly set up instruments. For the first, once she's able to play a few songs, suggest that she get together with a classmate or friend who can play or sing, and take it from there.  If she gets involved with a church group, then \nthere will be at least weekly practices.(And it's a sure guarantee of a wholesome environment)\nI'm recommending several items to buy along with the guitar-the first is an electronic tuner, it'll help your daughter develop her ear for what sounds right, the second is a metronome, to help develop a sense of rythm, and the third is a mechanical windup kitchen timer- once she starts her lessons, based on what her teacher recommends, have her practice 3-4 times per week for 15 minutes MAX-at that age, there's no point in stretching the attention span. If she wants to skip a day, let her.  Once the timer rings, have her put the guitar down-unless she wants to keep going(That's the best sign that it's working!)\n\nAll the Best,\nJim B

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!

I have been taking on-line courses for about a year now. (Business Adminastration) I am taking them though the local college. I checked out the on-line at other places and their cost was 3 times as much as our local college. Yes, you can get financial aid for these, but it is no where near the amount that it will cost you. ADVISE: Get out of the one you found on the internet, and go to your local college, take the on-line courses through them. Your Financial aid will cover these. Books and all!!!

I went to teaching conference before I gave my first lesson.  I didn't have to, just felt I should have some training before I start.  Two of the main speakers have articles out almost every month.  They both said what they write and what ends up in print are not the same.  One lost his job when he made the statement in public. \n\nI was so confused after the second day, felt out of place sitting in a room with coat tie and half everyone age.   This was 20 years ago.  I went to a driving range just outside of Austin Texas to check it out.  I started watching this guy give lessons that I could relate to.  Two guys sat behind me and made comments but I didn't turn around.  This guy kept everything  simple.  When the guy behind starting taking he lesson, I realized it was Tom Kite.  I asked his dad what the instructors name was and he said Harvey Penick.  I said Harvey who?\n\nThe PGA is coming up with some volunteer certification programs, I don't think that will solve the problem.  \n\nOne problem no one has prove anything and no checks.  I came unglued one night when I came across a infocomerical with my cart boy in it.  He said he played on the Pepsi Tour and was Teacher of the Year....... I set him to take his PAT the next week and never saw him again.  The PGA section called me and said he shot 115 on the first round, so they sent him packing.

FOr years I have written songs for my class, and each of the other teachers either found songs, skits or poems to present. We don't have a cohesive plan, but we have an elder introduce each group. THis year and last I moved up several grades and am now teaching grade 5/6. So last yar I found a five minute skit, and this year I am writing one. This has been the format we have followed for as long as I can remember.\n\nas for finding a complete program online, I've never checked, but there has to be one available somewhere. Do a google search, and check your nearest Christian book store.
