Music Lessons For Kids
How many extra activities are your children involved in?
I was at my nephews baseball tournament this past weekend (The children on his team are 5&6 and played 3 games in one day) and I kept over hearing the parents talking about all of these activities that there children are involved in, and after thinking about it I realized that every time I talk to my brother he is constantly dropping one of the kids off at ball, or dance, or gymnastics, or music lessons…. these kids do a million things!!!! So my question is how many activities are your children involved in? What would you say is the average? And how much do you feel is just too much? I am all for over-achievers…. hey do it while you are young… but it just seems like a lot sometimes.
I agree it almost seems with some people like a contest to see who can have their child in the most activities. Then they complain about it as if they are so tired of driving them everywhere when the child probably doesn’t want to do half the things they do and the parents sign them up.
I have 4 boys.
My twins are 15, one of them does baseball only the other does baseball in the fall and cross country running in the winter. They both also played in the band at school during middle school but are not doing it this year in high school.
My 12 yr old (turning 13 in April) plays baseball and is in the video club. He also did cross country in the fall. He plays saxophone in the school band but this does not happen outside of school. He used to play piano.
My youngest just plays baseball and is going to join cross country this fall.
I try to limit them to one sport and one other activity at a time. I think kids need free time to just be kids. I also never make them do something they are not enjoying, the whole point is for it to be fun. I hate to see parents dragging a crying child out of the car to play baseball bribing them with treats if they play or telling them they can’t quit etc…

The Adventures of Huck Finn $2.89 Huckleberry Finn’s age has been scaled down in this 1993 Disney film in order to accommodate star Elijah Wood’s young years at the time.

Wood’s Huck, as adapted for the screen by writer-director Stephen Sommers, is all rascal and only nominally a philosopher, which takes a lot of the soul out of … |

Music Lesson Plans
HELP Music Lesson planning?
Hey guys
any help is good help!!
i am a trainy music teacher and i need to make a 6 week lesson plan on xmas carols for a year 7 class,
however i have completed the plan but i have managed to fit 6 weeks worth of lessons into only 2 weeks worth of classes so im 4weeks sort of what to do.
I want the class to understand xmas songs, struture, musical elements, etc and have decided that for the first 2 weeks the will sing and compose a xmas song in groups and i will also go through music elements with them
but this activity will only take two lessons to cover which is where you guys come in.
What else can i plan for the further four weeks of teaching the xmas carol songs?, please help im going to be teaching them this info after half term break which is in 2weeks time.
I am a dance teacher. My idea would be to teach them about the
“Nutcracker”. It is Classical Christmas Music, Classical Ballet, and A Classical Story. I hope that I helped you out. Good Luck.

Music And Math
Do you need math when your studying music business and/or sound engineering?
just wondering. cause i love music but hate math. andim going to college soon so i want to know.
