Summer. Great. So now all those little things that were on the backburner during the busy winter season should commence anew. Hmm.
Let's see. I've been thinking about combining private lessons with some sort of group study and maybe even some sort of online thingy. I've installed Moodle on some websites, so a learning environment could be put up. I'd like to get some opinions though. Group lessons could be about some specific topics and/or matinees where we could play and perform together.
I'm having some ideas (not necessarily mine) about how to enhance the learning process with my pupils. I'm wishing to incorporate their goals (=the music they want to play) into some sort of framework. I really am not interested in trying to teach stuff that the pupil finds uninteresting - I might try to market something that is worthy by my reckoning, but I'll leave it at that. But a systematical approach whereby my students could become more self-sustaining on guitar-study would be great... Of course the Finnish music school education plan has a grading system and a course syllabus. I try to devise a way for the pupils to navigate through that...
New looks, a new language and less clutter. That's the thing with this upheaval of mine. I don't promise to blog more often, but I try to keep it interesting and on-topic on music making, guitar playing and studying guitar.
I've blogged from 2000 in finnish language, now I'll experiment with english. I do hope that whoever reads this forgives the occasional lapse in writing and grammar - I'm not a native english speaker.
The main thing of course is playing...
