Typing Lesson

I recently got a job teaching children and babies at a daycare how to dance. I want to start incorporating lessons into my classes, as well as change up the exercises each week. What kinds of things should I be trying to teach babies, and what kinds of things should I be trying to teach children from 3-5 years old?

Don’t expect amazing things from 3-5 year olds.

Here’s RADs pre-primary syllabus:
Running in a circle
Running en diagonale
Walking with stretched feet
Walking on demi-pointe
Skips
Demi-plies
Rises
Points
Knee bends
Jumps
Bounces
Claps
Marches
Pony steps
Pony trots
Pony galops

Here’s the primary:
Swaying
Step close step point
Knee lifts
Stork walks
Sautes
Echappes sautes
Spring points
Galops sideways
Jumps with eye focus
Skip change of step

Here’s grade 1:
Battlements tendus
Petit jetes
Bivided battlements tensud
Transfer of weight
Classical walks
Swaying
Spinning
Soubresauts
Galops forward
Step forward (heel toe)
Picked up runs

For babies, focus on rhythm and movement. Clapping in time, counting to 4, bouncing in time, ‘free dance’ to music, happy feet and sad feet (pointed and flexed), pretending to be animals /ghosts /trees /princesses /butterflies, etc.

My 17th birthday is in a week and i’ve saved up a bit of money for lessons and car neccesities but i looked at the DVLA web page and it said i need an average of 45 lessons. At like about £20 a lesson that’s just too much for me.

Were they right about that number or can it be done with a lot less paid lessons just home practise?

You are required to have a certain amount of hours behind the wheel before you take the test.
You don’t have to pay a driving school to have all the hours.
Just drive with a 21yr old license driver and document the amount of hours you’ve driven, but I do suggest you spend at least 6hrs. behind the wheel with a certified driving instructor, that will also help reduce your insurance rates.

I want to get acoustic guitar lessons but with my current crazy time-shifting job it is impossible for me to be available during decent hours. I have heard there are video lessons on the Internet but I would like to get feedback from someone who tried it.

There are video courses available that you can pause and replay when and as often as you want. It is a definite advantage over a teacher who will be available for only an hour or so at the time and that you will have to pay by the hour.

I’m a long-term fan of the guitar and piano and have finally been able to sign up for guitar lessons at school. My friend has offered to help me with the guitar. I don’t want to waste his time with the basics but I also dont’ want to learn the fundamentals wrong. I’ve never held a guitar and I’m not sure if the new teacher teachs notes or tabs. I understand how to read notes and I get the idea behind tabs but besides that, I’m completely in the dark.Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome! Thanks!

Your thinking too much.

First off, you have knowledge of standard music notation and music theory!!!, you are way ahead of 95% of people who "play" guitar. No worries!

Second, Tab is just a visual representation of the guitar strings (low E/ the fattest strung on the bottom). Read it from left to right, the numbers just tell you where to press, which string when, in what order. No duration is given, it’s just a road map that people practice to learn to play their favorite songs. No music theory involved. Again, NO WORRIES, you are still way ahead.

Don’t over think it. You know much more than other people who are starting out. Just enjoy it. The hardest thing will be getting your fingers used to pressing the strings. Don’t worry about it, you’ll discover the simple things faster than the others, and grasp the more complex things in a way that will make the others dizzy.

The rock world is so full of cheats anyway. Power chords and drop tunings make the guitar so stupid easy that any 5 year old could be a super star. So many people use them and don’t understand the theory of how it works. What’s it matter, it still looks and sounds wicked awesome!!!>sarcasm<

Rock on!

I’m going to be taking swimming lessons. I know how to swim, but I want to take lessons to improve, to learn how to dive, and to become a lifeguard, eventually.
I’m almost certain that I will be the oldest in the lessons I’m taking. I’m 13 years old and everyone else my age that take swimmingg are already Jr. Lifeguards.
I know that it’s not really anything to be ashamed of, but I am ashamed. A 13 year old that doesn’t know how to dive! It’s embarassing!

Well, first of all, it’s not a given that you’ll be the oldest in the class. Who knows, there could be other people your age!

But if you ARE the oldest, you really shouldn’t be embarrassed. I coach gymnastics, and there are always a couple older kids in classes with young beginners - and it’s great! The younger kids really look up to the older ones, and it sets a great example; that you’re never too old to learn something new!

Also, the fact that you’re older and more mature will probably mean that you’ll progress faster than the younger ones in your group. So it won’t be long before you master what you’re wanting to learn, and you can move on to more advanced things. Just keep reminding yourself what your goal is, and how great you’ll feel when you’ve reached it!

I am giving a young boy swimming lessons. I am a certified lifeguard and have taken lots of Red Cross lessons and classes, etc. I have no idea how much to charge. I am giving the boy lessons 3 days a week from 10:30-noon. Any help?

For an hour and 30 min. and with all your training i would say around $20 to $35 a lesson. That might sound kinda Cheep but with the economy how it is and the money problem that is a good price. But if you can not find a good price as the parents how much they are willing to pay and try to work around it.

Good Luck!

Ive currently had 8 lessons and got 2 hour lessons booked everday this week. i think im doing quite good weve already done 3 point turns and turning left at junctions

how many did you take? and how many more do you think i will need? Im taking my theory in 3 weeks

THANKS!

i had 19 lessons all together over 2months an passed my test 1st time!!

My son will be 4 years old on Sept. 1st and is very interested in taking drum lessons with the drum player at church. He is so totally in love with this guy. During church this guy will let my son sit on stage with him and watch him play and it is the highlight of my son’s day.
Is 4 too young for drum lessons?

My little brother has been playing his whole life. he hasn’t started lessons yet but by 13 or 14 he will be amazing(but not as good as me

Hey guys! Could you please give me all the lessons Dimitri teaches Rose in the "WHOLE" Vampire Academy series? My friend and I are obsessed with it and need to know all the lessons. I told her I’d look, but I couldn’t find them in the book. Thanks.
I already know Don’t hesitate and never turn your back until your is dead, and run. Is there any others?

Run. Never turn your back on an opponent until there dead. and a few more…. i’ll re read them and let you know soon. I love those books. In my opinion there WAY better than twilight. I think i’m like the only non gay guy who reads them =D lol. Btw I’m currently reading Shadow kiss. Its good so far. I’m just at the part were Rose sees Mason for the second time!? >:O i’m wondering if hes a ghost or not. My guess is that after the first strigoi snaped his neck (in frost bite) when the second started to drink his blood, he wasn’t dead, but then later he came back as a strigoi from the bite. Thats just speculation though i haven’t read it yet… don’t tell me if i’m wrong or right.

i have got my provisional and i’m 17 in 2 and a half months, can i start my lessons now?

No unfortunately not, I’m in the same boat- I have my provisional, and it’s my 17th next month, but we can’t start until our birthday’s.

If you are as enthusiastic as me, however, you can start booking lessons and your tests. If you think you are confident, enthusiastic, and a fast learner, you could do a 1 or 2 week intensive course as soon as you turn 17- and pass your test in just a few weeks!

That’s what I’m doing. I’m SO excited, and I can barely wait, so I’m doing a crash course, then taking my tests a few weeks after my birthday.

If your parents aren’t law crazy, you may be able to convince them to give you a little personal tuiton… maybe reversing off your drive and driving up and down the road???

Hope this helps!
