How many voice lessons do you have to have to hear a significant improvement in your singing?

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:48:28 +0000

I’m starting voice lessons this Saturday. There is an audition for a musical in a few months that I’m really interested in, and the role isn’t the easiest to sing (I’m a fairly good actress, though, so I have that going for me). People have told me that I have a good voice, and I can hold a tune. I don’t know anything about proper volume, breathing, etc. How long could it take to really improve? Can I do it in a few months?

Yeah, you’ll be fine. i improved in a few months with voice lessons, so you’ll be fine. All you need to do is practice the techniques your teach shows you and REALLY pay attention. If this is something you want bad enough you will be able to do it. Good Luck! & I hope you get the role you’re aiming for!

How much money should I charge for piano lessons per hour?

admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:34:29 +0000

I am 17 and a senior in high school with 11 years of piano experience(I am quite good). My dads friend wants me to give his son lessons once a week but I have no idea how much money to charge! I am not a professional, so I don’t want to charge too much. I’ve taught children piano lessons before but they were for volunteer hours. I was thinking $20 for a 30 minute lesson. Is this reasonable, too much, too little? Please tell me what you think!

It’s your time that you’ll be spending, so charge what it’s worth to you. If you view your time as that valuable, I’d say $20 is perfectly reasonable.

Not sure how old your toddler is, but I count everything with my 2 year old to make everything math. Steps, fingers, food, etc.

What are some important life lessons you learn in high school?

admin — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:53:48 +0000

In my 12th grade english class, we have to make a speech about 3 life lessons we have learned and than tell a story to go along with it.
So far, I have the lesson that you should not take anything for granted. What else can I put? any ideas?

dont tell your problems to people… 90 percent dont care and 10 percent are glad you have them… high school is full of back stabbing bitchess and imnmture people…

EDITT: but also, life is all about taking risks… It doesnt matter the outcome as long as you tried

Where can I find good 2nd grade math lesson plans and activities?

admin — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:44:52 +0000

I’m looking for a lesson plan and activities for this…..

TEKS/Student Expectations: (2.10) The student uses standard tools to estimate and measure time and temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit).
The student is expected to:
A.Read a thermometer to gather data;
B.Read and write times shown on analog and digital clocks using five-minute increments; and
C.Describe activities that take approximately one second, one minute, and one hour.

Thank You!!!

Do a google search for all three! There are lots of lesson plans on the web, but not all in one place, and I’m sure these topics are covered somewhere…

Or, mabye just start with asking what students already know about the topics (or when they have encountered similar tasks in their everyday lives or in school) and starting an intro discussion, give students background info as needed, explain the tasks, put them into pairs and set them to work, and have a brief sharing of answers and discussion of concepts and results. There could be three stations and student pairs could move from one to the next until all tasks are done, and before the sharing of results, students could record their answers on the board. You can write the standard being tested on the board before th students come into class and use that as the starting point to the lesson.

After how many lessons of driving should you get insured and start going out driving with a parent?

admin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:39:43 +0000

I have had 8 lessons and my instructor is suggesting I start going driving with a parent, getting more practice in. Is this the normal amount of time?

There is no normal amount of time, but the time to do this is when your instructor says so. Remember that when driving with your parents the person sitting next to you will not have dual controls and so cannot brake for you in an emergency, so your instructor must be happy with your progress before suggesting this course of action.

How will the lessons you have learned in you General 105 course help in completing your program?

Were any of the lessons useful for your current job? Why or why not?

Make me to know thy ways, O LORD;
teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me,
for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.
Be mindful of thy mercy, O LORD, and of thy steadfast love,
for they have been from of old.

What is the "hook and closure" in a lesson plan?

admin — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 05:58:30 +0000

I am taking an education class and I am writing a lesson plan. I have my unit topic, alignment to standards, instructional strategies… but it also specifies including the hook and closure to my lesson. I can’t remember what that means exactly. I can’t find it in my book or online. Would you be able to help me? Thank You!

Hunter’s "anticipatory set" is sometimes called a "hook" to grab the student’s attention, e.g., "Has anybody visited the…?" (connect to prior knowledge)

Just remember fishing "hook." It "grabs" the fish. Bait and hook might be a little more accurate.

Closure is when you wrap up a lesson plan and help students organize the information into a meaningful context in their minds. (e.g., summary/short discussion to clarify)

Is it possible for a teacher to use lesson plans from the past year for the following year?

admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 05:37:10 +0000

For example an english teacher decides that she/he doesn’t want to write new lesson plans, so she/he uses the ones from the past year, because the students worked so well and learned very good with them.

If the lesson plans meet the learning requirements and he she feels like it is worth keeping it them they can use it , but I mean most teachers like switching things around every new year too keep the class interesting and freshly updated with new updated facts …
