SCALES AREN'T JUST A FISH THING
Carol Anderson
************
Musicians and Musical want-a-be's.
************
What I've Got!!
I've developed a unique 'back-door' method of teaching, re-patterning, and igniting sleeping brains.
I've got games and curriculum to teach music that will help develop our brains and allow each of us, no matter our age, to see how it feels to have fluid thinking.
************
What It Will Do for You!
I think you might actually find it will increase the speed of your mental processes.
It will certainly offer a familiarity with notes and how they relate to one another.
The games and workbooks and play-along music will make learning difficult music theory concepts a pleasure.
More than that: You will discover how you are wired.
How you learn.
How you process the world around you.
When you teach, you will have an understanding of your student's unique learning style.
You won't be shoving your 'triangle' of a learning style down their 'circular' throats.
How can they remember what they don't hear? If they process through their eyes, and you simply talk to them, they see your lips moving but don't hear a word.
We need to address learning styles as much as curriculum.

The Layers of our Unique Learning Personalities:
First, I suggested you take a piece of paper and start to write down how to get to your house.
If you drew a map you were a global thinker.
If you wrote it out, go to the end of the block...., you were a sequential thinker.
If you did both, you learned your lesson well. We've been programed by school to cover our bases.
There will,however, be a way that you will gravitate toward and be most comfortable with.
Next, we talked about our environment.
What makes us comfortable and energized us.
What drains us.
We certainly can exist just about anywhere but step back for a second and ask yourself if you shut down in a
hot environment...or in the cold.
bright light...or natural light.
noise....quiet
tidy surrounding.....clutter
structure...disorder
people.....solitude
even...full stomach, hungry stomach...
Next we discussed how we can improve the mental processes of children in our lives:
#1. Talking face to face with a child....often...regularly..and about everything...
#2..... a study
Affluent families speak 7 affirmations (positive statements) for every 1 rebuke.
Middle income families are closer to 4 affirmations for every 2 or 3 rebukes.
Lower income families are about 7 rebukes to 1 affirmation.
This month I'll suggest one more way that we are different in the way we process information.
Look across the room.
Pick something little like the doorknob.
Without closing either eye, try to cover the doorknob.
It won't totally be covered but try without closing either eye.
Now, close your left eye.
Did your finger move?
Now, close your right eye.
If your finger covered the doorknob when you closed your right eye, then you are left eyed.
If it covered the doorknob when you closed your left eye, you are right eyed.
So what?
It is important and simply another key to the way we process information.
Sometimes students become too visual,.. relying heavily on the music when they were free of it just a few weeks ago.
I move the stand so they are looking through their non-dominant eye and they have to process the music in a totally different way.
They fumble....even on a piece they know.
It's like telling them to bow Perpetual Motion starting up bow, or play Twinkle backwards.
Our brain short circuits for a minute and then, the amazing organ that it is, builds lots more connectors and we are back in business.
Please...Go to the forum and post your thoughts. Keep in touch throughout the summer.

In the fall...a surprise that will revolutionize your quality of teaching and playing, even if you are a professional violinist. A shoulder rest for violinists that insists the student have excellent posture and motivates them to learn and polish a song. How you ask? You've got to see it to believe it.I'll send a video in the August newsletter.
Mono-focused new music theory games in E-book form.
