I try to teach Theory, Technique, and Artistry equally, but some kids just want to play fast (technique) and some just want to be “dramatic” (Artistry), and most would like to ditch Theory entirely.

However, there is an old joke:

“How to you get a Rock Guitarist to slow down?

“Put a piece of sheet music in front of him”

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hmm, have to go find someone’s Forsythia bush. LOL
But it’s good to know.

[beachn4fun]

LOL.

I would think anyone wanting to learn music, would want to learn those.

One of the reasons to keep some Forsythia around. But you have to fight them in hand to hand combat in a wet warm summer to keep them in line.

We have a bible school on Thursday nights between 7-8. Its a beautiful night here tonight.

[beachn4fun]

We have a small yard, which is fenced in so I don’t want any bushes or plants that I have to mow around. Plus, two dogs.

When weather improves, I’ll start looking around the neighborhood when Eada and I go for our walks.

I so dislike it getting dark so early.

The only thing I don't like about October, my favorite month. The weather is wonderful, the colors are beautiful, the best sports season, and it's my birthday month. :)

But the downside is that the days are too short, the sun sets too soon.

Looks to be yours!

[oldteen]

YUK!

Hiya Luvy ((HUGS))

Okay. I didn't know about that.

Well, now that you are here, I can finally go to bed ;)
Not sure where radu is, but I gotta go.

Well, the problem arises when someone is naturally talented and wants to just PLAY. Their ears and fingers already know what to do, so why should they have to slow down and let their EYES catch up?

That was my problem growing up, so now I am very careful about trying to make THEORY Interesting!

If you can't be good, be loud.

[oldteen]

That lost hour doesn’t bother me.

[beachn4fun]

If you can't be good, be loud.

LOL. Probably their philosophy.

[left that other site]

They have to play loud. I am getting deaf in my old age.

(A half Century of Rock and Roll and Motorcycles can do that!)

[beachn4fun]

Gotta run. Y'all have fun.
I'll catch up with some of you in the morning.
Be safe out there.
To our military and allies: thank you for all you do.
Good night.
