Private Lessons Another Story
You had camaraderie and teamwork at play, and my business made more money. When a child went into a group, the rehearsals were longer than private lessons. Parents paid more for the groups, and the profit margins were better.
June 23, 2009 at 10:19 PM i decided at age 25 to pick up a violin for the first time, after having looked @ playing violin as a dream that i'd never pursue. it's now been a couple months since i started, and a month since i found an excellent private instructor who i take lessons with once a week. i couldn't be more happy about my decision to start playing, and am so excited for what's to come! it's so inspiring to have found this site, especially seeing how many other adult beginners there are floating around, as well as teachers with experience instructing adults. i'd LOVE to hear some of your stories! when did you start? what made you decide to finally pick up the instrument? what did/do you find most difficult during the learning process? what's your biggest accomplishment thus far? any advice for a fellow beginner? i can't wait to hear your stories!
June 24, 2009 at 07:42 PM What is it about 35? ;) I'm an adult re-beginner. I started at age 9 with the Suzuki method. But I stopped private lessons at 15, when I went away to boarding school. I continued playing while away, but with the band (made NO sense) and a couple of dysfunctional ensembles.
I started playing again casually when my son started 2 yrs ago. This past January I started private lessons. It has been the most rewarding and humbling experience. I just had an overwhelming need to finish Suzuki - get through book 10. I'm not sure that's what will happen, but for now I'm using it as a marker. It's a great mental workout and easy hobby to have being home with two small children.
Learning to swim is a childhood rite that ranks up there with learning how to ride a bike. Both are great fun. But the risks associated with water often put swimming lessons at another level of relevance.
At Springs Brook Park, private lessons run about $9 for a half hour. Three weeks of group lessons are $28 for residents; $34 for nonresidents; classes are 45 minutes, Monday through Friday. Blasioli suggests that children enroll in two sessions every summer.
And that reminds me of another story I heard about Muhammed Ali when he was the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. After one of his victorious title fights, the Champ was on an airplane waiting to take off. Ali was annoyed when a flight attendant kept pestering him to put on his seat belt. "Do you know who I am?" He challenged her. "I am the Champion of the World! I am Muhammed Ali! I am Superman! Superman don't need no seatbelt!" The flight attendant looked at him sternly and then quickly shot back, "Superman don't need no airplane either."
"The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but is a disgrace to have no stars to reach. Not failure, but low aim, is a sin." Consider this person's life story. He at: Age 22 – failed in business; Age 23 – defeated for State Legislature; Age 24 – again failed in business; Age 25 – elected to State Legislature; Age 26 – his sweetheart died; Age 27 – suffered nervous breakdown; Age 29 – defeated for speaker; Age 31 – defeated for elector; Age 34 – defeated for Congress; Age 37 – elected to Congress; Age 39 – defeated for Congress; Age 46 – defeated for Senate; Age 47 – defeated for Vice-President; Age 49 – defeated for Senate; Age 51 – Abraham Lincoln elected President of the United States. Bitter experience teaches painful lessons, but those lessons, once honestly learned, leave one better able to deal with the challenges ahead. We need to remember this not only as African-Americans, but simply as Americans. Our country is experiencing challenging times too.
Morgan is no amateur hobbyist. He honed his skills at the Nikon Photography School and took private lessons with Tom Bresnahan of Tom Bresnahan Portrait Studio in La Grange. During the one-hour photo shoot with patients, Morgan takes 60 to 80 different shots with the help of a reflector and a special portrait lens often used by wedding photographers.
Their two girls had gone to the public schools, where theyhad not got on as fast as some of the other girls;so that they were a year behind in graduating fromthe grammar-school, where Lapham thought that theyhad got education enough. His wife was of adifferent mind; she would have liked them to go tosome private school for their finishing. ButIrene did not care for study; she preferredhouse-keeping, and both the sisters were afraid ofbeing snubbed by the other girls, who were of adifferent sort from the girls of thegrammar-school; these were mostly from the parksand squares, like themselves. It ended in theirgoing part of a year. But the elder had an oddtaste of her own for reading, and she took someprivate lessons, and read books out of thecirculating library; the whole family were amazedat the number she read, and rather proud of it.
The girls had learned to dance at Papanti's; but they hadnot belonged to the private classes. They did noteven know of them, and a great gulf divided themfrom those who did. Their father did not likecompany, except such as came informally in theirway; and their mother had remained too rustic toknow how to attract it in the sophisticated cityfashion. None of them had grasped the idea ofEuropean travel; but they had gone about tomountain and sea-side resorts, the mother and thetwo girls, where they witnessed the spectaclewhich such resorts present throughout New England,of multitudes of girls, lovely, accomplished,exquisitely dressed, humbly glad of the presenceof any sort of young man; but the Laphams had noskill or courage to make themselves noticed, farless courted by the solitary invalid, orclergyman, or artist. They lurked helplesslyabout in the hotel parlors, looking on and notknowing how to put themselves forward. Perhapsthey did not care a great deal to do so. They hadnot a conceit of themselves, but a sort of contentin their own ways that one may notice in certainfamilies. The very strength of their mutualaffection was a barrier to worldly knowledge; theydressed for one another; they equipped their housefor their own satisfaction; they lived richly tothemselves, not because they were selfish, butbecause they did not know how to do otherwise.The elder daughter did not care for society,apparently. The younger, who was but three yearsyounger, was not yet quite old enough to beambitious of it. With all her wonderful beauty,she had an innocence almost vegetable. When herbeauty, which in its immaturity was crude andharsh, suddenly ripened, she bloomed and glowedwith the unconsciousness of a flower; she notmerely did not feel herself admired, but hardlyknew herself discovered. If she dressed well,perhaps too well, it was because she had theinstinct of dress; but till she met this young manwho was so nice to her at Baie St. Paul, she hadscarcely lived a detached, individual life, sowholly had she depended on her mother and hersister for her opinions, almost her sensations.She took account of everything he did and said,pondering it, and trying to make out exactly whathe meant, to the inflection of a syllable, theslightest movement or gesture. In this way shebegan for the first time to form ideas which shehad not derived from her family, and they werenone the less her own because they were oftenmistaken. 2ff7e9595c
