Have you always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but never knew where to begin? I can help you learn your instrument, and learn how to play the music that you love whether it be flute, piccolo, violin, viola, or cello. I can help you enjoy music.
Having grown up in a musical family with my mother a professional violinist, I have been exposed to the joys of music since childhood. I learned how to play percussion and string instruments from when I was six years old, and later joined the high school band playing flute. I loved playing flute and piccolo so much that I decided to take this as my career and went to Interlochen Arts Academy where I excelled in my performance. I later went to Prague Conservatory and Czech Budweiss Conservatory and played with the Prague Film Orchestra. Even more recently I have been a teacher for the Flutes and Strings classes at Unison World School in Dehradun, India.
As you can see, having great international exposure to music I can teach you how to become more well-rounded in the beauty that is music.
*** Lesson Details ***
My approach to teaching varies with the age level of each student. With younger students, imitation is often one of the best methods of learning and I prefer the Suzuki method for students up to age 8, especially with strings. For older children and adults, learning music notation and basic music theory for a full understanding of musical language are more important to get them to the level where they can learn any music that they want to play for fun. For students who wish to excel in their school band, a more practical approach with technique specific warm-ups and exercises seems to be the best in general.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons are taught in the living room which includes music stands, sheet music, metronome, and seating for parents/students. No pets. Parking in lot.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide metronome, and tools for minor instrument repair. Students should provide their own music stands and sheet music.
*** Specialties ***
Suzuki method, Taffanel et Gaubert, Patricia George
Erika is a multi-instrumentalist on a mission - to share the power of music with as many people as possible!
Raised by an opera singer, Erika was exposed to classical music before birth; she knew how to read music before she could read words! From an early age, Erika knew that she was going to be a musician. At 10 years old, she began her study of piano; at 12, she taught herself viola and violin. Her career started at the age of 14 with a church pianist job and her very first private student. By 16, she was playing viola with the local symphony orchestra, accompanying collegiate vocalists, and teaching adults 20 years her senior. Before leaving for college, Erika had the very special honor of being one of eight pianists chosen state-wide to attend the Tennessee Governor's School for the Arts.
Erika received her Bachelor's Degree in viola performance from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She received her Master's Degree in viola performance at Lamont School of Music, University of Denver. During her contracted time at Lamont, Erika was also the viola Graduate Teaching Assistant. After earning her Masters Degree, Erika plans to pursue a Doctorate in viola pedagogy. Erika has also played with numerous symphonies and chamber groups.
With fourteen years of teaching and performance experience, Erika believes that anyone can learn an instrument and that everyone benefits from music!
*** Lesson Details ***
I tailor my lesson plans to each individual student because everyone has their own unique learning style. Our first lesson will consist of finding out which learning style works best for you (i.e. visual, auditory, tactile) and what you want to accomplish during our time together. If you already have some experience on your instrument we'll also do an assessment, which is basically you playing a prepared piece of your choice for me.
As a teacher, I like to provide as well-rounded an education as I possibly can. Not only do you learn how to play your instrument, but you'll also learn the "building blocks" of Western music, the "whys" of music, and how to perform in front of an audience.
I'm an extremely laid back and easy going person; I understand just how busy and unpredictable life can be! That being said, playing an instrument isn't easy and does require practice and hard work - not to worry, though - it'll still be fun and rewarding!
My curriculum does vary based on instrument, age, and skill level. For young beginners learning violin/viola, I prefer to use the Suzuki Method (Pre-Twinkle - Book 4). When teaching piano, I've found the Alfred Series to be beneficial to both young and adult students (beginning through intermediate). With my advanced students, I use literature in the standard repertoire. However, if there's a certain method or set of books that you've used in previous lessons and would like to continue with, I'll be happy to accommodate you.
Everyone learns and masters concepts at their own pace, so it's quite difficult to predict where a student will be in just a few months. For Pre-Twinkle students, many graduate to their real instrument between 2-6 months. Many beginning piano students will be playing music with both hands and chords by 3 months. Students that have prior experience can expect to learn at least a few new concepts by 3 months. One of the most important things to remember about music lessons is that you get what you put in. In other words, your progress directly correlates with the amount of hard work that you do!
Lastly, I would like to explain my parent/guardian involvement policy regarding younger students. I require an adult present in every lesson if the student is under 13, preferably one that lives with the student. The reason for this requirement is for practice - it's extremely difficult for students that age to correct their own posture, learn their own music, etc. unless they have consistent help from someone that is observing and participating in their lessons. While I don't require an adult present for students 13 and older, if you do wish to observe, you're more than welcome to!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile, have a wonderful day!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Anything and everything you could possibly need to learn music!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide my own instrument and music stand; if required, I can also provide public domain music. I expect my student to provide a distraction free, quiet area so that our lessons can be as productive as possible. I expect my student to provide their own instrument, notebook, and music; at a certain level, the student will also need access to a metronome/tuner during practice. I prefer that students purchase their own music so that they can use it forever.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in classical music and am trained in the Suzuki Method (violin/viola) pre-twinkle through book four.
I have been teaching music for over 20 years and playing as a professional musician for even longer. I know how to get the best out of my students and have fun doing it. I'm a University of South Florida grad and I have worked and studies in Las Vegas and at the Berklee school of music. My students constantly win superiors at contest and sit in the upper chairs in band and orchestra. Lets have some fun and make some music.
*** Lesson Details ***
In a laid back fun way we will learn the fundamentals of our instrument. I start out with the All For Strings series of books and add the Suzuki method books for some tunes. In 3 to 6 months you will be playing the music you like and having fun and learning new things while you do.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons in the living room or den

Both classical and Jazz.
Amanda graduated from Florida College in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in music and is currently teaching lessons in the Tampa Bay area. Her main instrument is the violin and she has also studied piano, guitar, and voice for many years. She began playing the violin when she was 6 years old and has worked within many genres, starting with the Suzuki method and branching out to fiddle tunes and even pop/rock music. For the past three summers she has toured the country with the Florida College Friends band and was also the concert master for the FC String Ensemble.
Because of her diverse musical background, Amanda can accommodate a wide variety of musical interests--from Beethoven to Lindsey Stirling. She encourages her students to pursue music they are passionate about rather than limiting them to one genre with one curriculum. She can't wait to help you start playing the music you love and to achieve your dreams as a musician!
Cameron Horne has been performing and teaching in the Tampa Bay area for 30 years. Mr. Horne enjoys sharing his love of music with students of all ages, from children to senior adults.
Music students learn more efficiently and develop better technique when what they study in school is reinforced with private lessons. Good technique is vital for mastering any musical instrument, the human voice included.
The close supervision of one-on-one instruction enables students to build a solid foundation. Learning something right the first time is so much easier than having to "unlearn what you have learned" later.
Mr. Horne earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees in music from the University of South Florida in Tampa. He has been on the music faculty of several local colleges and performed as a violinist, a singer and a conductor, working with numerous commercial names, local opera and ballet productions, chamber music ensembles and community and professional orchestras.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Magazine's Super Bowl Preview Includes Photo of Two Men Kissing
January 30, 2013 by Carolyn Simon, Deputy Director of Digital Media
The current issue of Sports Illustrated features a preview of Sunday's Super Bowl matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.
It also features a photo that captures two men sharing a celebratory kiss at Hi Tops, a gay sports bar in the Castro, when the 49ers clinched their place in the big game.
"A lot of people that come in don't even know it's a gay sports bar; that's the best part," Hi Tops bartender Logan Chavarria told NBC Bay Area. "And then we find out we have a common bond."
The photo appears on page 48 of the current issue of the magazine, which is sent to 3 million homes each week.

"I don't know how we stand us."Some girls act like guys. Some go as far as being almost considered guys. Most of them are portrayed as feminists (often the straw kind), but then there are these. They will call people "girl" and "sissy" as insults. They think that women should Stay in the Kitchen, and they're against all kinds of women's rights. They're Female Misogynists. People will remind them that they're girls themselves, but they will deny it - or consider themselves a "honorary dude" or claim they're "not like the other girls" (i.e. they're ''better'' than the other girls, in their minds). Another variation is the extremely conservative housewife, who thinks that women are inferior to men. Alternatively, this can actually be combined with a feminist (generally a straw one, but Poe's Law dictates that they exist in Real Life as well), making a character who hates all men and believes they're naturally sexual predators, but will attack and abuse any female that doesn't fit their idea of what 'feminism' should be; expect slut shaming, high expectations, hatred towards The Chick or The Medic (if the medic is female) and distaste for more traditionally feminine women. Subtrope of Boomerang Bigot. In the rare case that she also applies the misogyny to herself as well (through being self-hating and/or limiting her life needlessly) it also becomes Internalized Categorism. Compare/contrast with Effeminate Misogynistic Guy, except that the contradiction is much more direct. See also, Territorial Smurfette, where the female lead will act antagonistic towards a new woman in the group.

India sterilizations: Lessons from Bilaspur
The aftermath of the terrible deaths of women who underwent sterilisation surgeries in Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh has been full of stories about what actually happened. Spurious drugs and an overenthusiastic doctor who cut corners on ensuring quality vie for immediate blame. Beyond these, many have spoken about pervasive biases of gender and caste that wreak havoc on the lives of poor women, and also of family planning policies and programmes that appear to have gone back to the bad old days of the Emergency. Each of these explanations has more than a grain of truth.

- Adolescent;
- depression;
- narrative method;
- therapeutic challenge
The adolescent period is a time of transition and change often associated with losses and adjustment issues at the family, school, and individual levels. When this normal developmental transition is interrupted and compounded by depressive illness, treatment needs and nursing therapeutic challenges can be daunting.
This clinically based article explores the clinical process and progress in work with a 14-year-old adolescent boy who was diagnosed with a major depressive episode. Core clinical features, distinguishing characteristics of depression in youth, as well as specific therapeutic issues and challenges are discussed. The value of an integrated clinical approach with special emphasis on narrative methods both for achievement of clinical goals and for establishing a therapeutic alliance is highlighted.
Sources Used
The study used published literature and the author's professional and clinical experiences.
Nursing therapeutics with adolescents experiencing depression must embrace a holistic integrated approach to adolescent recovery with an emphasis on what works with each unique clinical situation. Special attention to the nurse–adolescent therapeutic alliance not only facilitates achievement of therapeutic goals related to the depressive illness, but in addition, supports the shaping of a new self-narrative, wholeness, and healthy adolescent development and well-being.

About Our Community
We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do.
This is the promise that the staff at Emeritus at Casa Whittier- and throughout Brookdale Senior Living communities – has shared since 1980, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful – a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our retirement community for its active lifestyle.
The Perfect Location
Casa Whittier is conveniently located just off Whittier Blvd, west of Beach Blvd. The community is just minutes away from shopping and many great restaurants and other locations. Whittier is a lovely place to call home. When moving to Casa Whittier you will be able to enjoy our great weather and cool breezes. Being that we are located close to the Los Angeles and Orange County borders, we have the best of both locations with many attractions just a quick ride away.
A Wonderful Selection
At Casa Whittier you will feel right at home the moment you walk through the doors. Our atmosphere is warm and friendly and the residents are happy and active. Our retirement community is not too big and not too small, but just right! Our floorplan is simple for residents to make there way around the building without being overwhelming for them. Our warm and inviting community offers 63 studio apartments that can be private or semi-private. Our floorplan is simple and easy to navigate as it is only 2 floors that are rectangular shaped. There are several areas to relax and enjoy visiting with family and friends.
Strong, Caring Professional Relationships
We have strong relationships with local hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and rehabilitation centers such as: Whittier Presbyterian, Whittier Hospital, St. Jude Hospital, Whittier Hills, Sorrenson, Royal Court Rehab, La Habra Convalcent, Park Regency, Mirada Hills, Imperial Convalcent, and many others. Residents can also have the convenience of having services come to them onsite through the Caremore Touch program.
Our Staff
At Casa Whittier you will notice a loving and caring attitude displayed by staff. Having a passion to help others is a common trait you will find among those who work here. We even have those who have been at the community for over 15 years or more.
See more of our California retirement communities and learn more about all of the elder care services offered from the Brookdale communities.
Our Community Lifestyle
A Wonderful Place to Live
Our senior living community values the input from the residents regarding the types of activities and programs they like to participate in. Residents have a choice of activities throughout the day which range from games, beading, quilting, and so much more! We also have weekly outings and special trips throughout the month.
Our residents participate in many social activities such as game hours, jewelry making, lunch outings, picnics at the park any many others. We also have holiday sing-alongs and other family events throughout the year. Our most recent event was a sock hop to participate in this year's "National Dance Day". We offer a variety of wellness programs and activities to include balance and mobility sessions, pet therapy visits, and Wii games.
Active Community Relationships
At Casa Whittier, we realize how important community is. Through ongoing events, educational seminars and classes we are able to stay connected with the local and surrounding cities. We are proud to be participating in this year's Alzheimer's Memory Walk to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's. Additionally we host a variety of events to let our neighbors know that we are active within our community throughout the year.

I have a new 24" lcd tv, model # NS-24 E730 A12 that I bought a few days ago. I plugged it in and went through the setup instructions, but I think I chose the wrong channel setup (cable instead of cable box?). I have it hooked up to a coax which goes to a directv cable box. After going through the channel search, it just shows the digital local channels and doesn't recognize the cable box.
When I hit the input button it won't let me select anything other than TV?
How do I view the cable box and the other inputs? If I made a mistake and chose the wrong setting on channel setup, can I reset it and go through that process again?
12-15-2011 09:48 AM - edited 12-15-2011 09:56 AM
Hello LRichter,
Welcome to Community@Insignia™!
You can change the TV Source by entering the on screen Menu and selecting Channels, then Auto Channel Search. You will have the option to select Antenna, Cable, or Cable/Satellite Box.
After you've set your TV Source, check to see if pressing the INPUT button on your remote lets you access the other inputs on your TV as it should. You may need to disable Auto Input Sensing (which is turned on by default). You can do this via the on screen Menu by selecting Settings, then Auto Input Sensing. You can find more details for all of these features in the User Manual beginning on page 29. Let us know your results!
Insignia™ Support
The auto channel search did not help, but turning off the auto input did allow me to access the other inputs. I went through each of those and still cant access the cable box. Which input would be for the coax input? The choices were tv, component, hdmi, and usb. TV was the only input that had any picture and it is just what the tv is picking up through the antenna.
Hello again LRichter,
Did you set your TV Source to Cable/Satellite Box? If so, you should not have been prompted for a Channel Scan since the channels will be run through the box. If you didn't change the TV Source setting, the TV will still pull channels received either by antenna or those accessible via cable without a box.
Insignia™ Support
I put input on my remote and it brings up the input source I put it on HDMI one which is my cable boxbut the screen for the input source won't go away when I exit out of it it goes right back to the cable boxATVwhat can I do
Hello 1joerodriguez,
Welcome to Community@ Insignia™!
When you highlight the input, and push the enter/ok/select button in the middle of the arrows, it should select that and change over. Does the TV allow you to highlight all the inputs or only the ones the tv sees signal coming in from?

K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s
- Style:
- Height: 36m
- Pitches: 2
- Ascents: 5
- Description:© (Niall)
Seventies style trad. First ascent was even chalkless! (The leader forgot his chalk bag). One set of cams from yellow Alien to #4 Camalot and a set of wires will protect it. Substitute hexes for cams if you sport a toothbrush moustache and pony tail.
Start: Marked "KB".
20m (17) Enjoyable. Good quality but slightly dirty rock and thought provoking moves. Follow right trending seam over three bulges. Top bulge was passed by moving left and up on FA, but remember to protect your second! Above top bulge traverse easily right all the way to belay at tree.
16m (10) Slippery lichenous corner. Easy but poorly protected. Not worth the effort unless you are heading for the top anyway. Belay at large tree.

People sometimes ask me if there is a cheap-and-easy way to guarantee thread safety. For example, "if my method only reads and writes local variables and parameters, can I guarantee that my method is threadsafe?" Questions like that are dangerous because they are predicated on an incorrect assumption: that if every method of a program is "threadsafe", whatever that means, then the entire program is "threadsafe". I might not be entirely clear on what "threadsafe" means, but I do know one thing about it: thread safety is a property of entire programs, not of individual methods.

Hero to Democrats, Replacement to ML King what does that say about the left today.

As it becomes known that Al Sharpton was Obama´s political point man at Ferguson, Mo during the looting and unrest there, that fact is not going to help the Democrats in the mid-term election you can bet on that.

Sharpton is an irritant to decent persons. That´s why the left supports this eyeball-burning racist.

G-7 nations agree to more sanctions on Russia
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — The United States and other nations in the Group of Seven agreed Friday to "move swiftly" to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine.
In a joint statement released Friday night by the White House, the G-7 nations said they will act urgently to intensify "targeted sanctions." The statement said the G-7 will also continue to prepare broader sanctions on key Russian economic sectors if Moscow takes more aggressive action.
The White House said U.S. sanctions could be levied as early as Monday.
The announcement came as top Ukrainians spoke of imminent invasion and Moscow said that pro-Russian separatists would not lay down their arms in eastern Ukraine until activists relinquish control over key sites in Kiev.
The G-7 nations said they were moving forward on the targeted sanctions now because of the urgency of securing plans for Ukraine to hold presidential elections next month.
The penalties are expected to target wealthy Russian individuals who are close to President Vladimir Putin, as well as entities they run. However, the U.S. will continue to hold off on targeting broad swaths of the Russian economy, though the president has said he is willing to take that step if Putin launches a military incursion in eastern Ukraine.
A senior Obama administration official said each country in the G-7 would determine their own sanctions. While the sanctions will be coordinated, they will not necessarily be identical, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity.
The White House released the G-7 statement hours after Obama convened a conference call with European leaders to gauge their commitment to additional sanctions.
Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security adviser, said in a briefing with reporters that sanctions were possible on individuals with influence in specific sectors of the Russian economy, such as energy and banking.
"When you start to get at the cronies, the individuals who frankly control large parts of the Russia economy, and some of the entities under their control, you are imposing a significant economic impact beyond strictly sanctioning an individual," he said.
Tensions were heightened on the ground, with Russian fighter jets reported crossing into Ukrainian airspace and a team of unarmed foreign military observers detained by pro-Russian forces in Slovyansk, the heart of the separatist movement in the east.
With last week's Geneva agreement calling on all illegal armed groups to lay down their weapons and hand over occupied cities and facilities in tatters, both sides exchanged threats and warnings Friday.
Accusing the West of plotting to control Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that pro-Russia insurgents in the country's east would only disarm and leave the territory they have occupied if the Ukrainian government clears out a protest camp in Kiev's Independence Square, known as the Maidan, and evicts activists from other occupied facilities.
"The West wants — and this is how it all began — to seize control of Ukraine because of their own political ambitions, not in the interests of the Ukrainian people," Lavrov said.

Two weeks ago, our Scholarship Chair Jeff Bogle announced the Dad 2.0 Scholarship Fund, and we're happy to announce that the CrowdRise site is up and running.
The site will be live for three weeks, until midnight EDT on December 19, and every dollar contributed to the Scholarship Fund (minus the site's fees) will go to help more of our peers get to the beautiful Westin Hotel in San Francisco in February!
We plan to award each recipient a $500 stipend toward travel expenses, and though we've set a goal to raise $2,000 and to give four scholarships, we're only limited by the amount of money that is donated. Every $500 increment means another grant!
We've started it off with $250 (which Jeff has agreed to match, so that's one scholarship already in the bag). And however much money is raised, the Dad 2.0 Summit will round the money up to the next multiple of 500.
For the fellas looking to apply for a $500 Dad 2.0 Scholarship, here is what you need to know and do, starting right now:
- If you haven't already, purchase a ticket to Dad 2.015 (available here); and
- Write a short essay (300-500 words) about whatever you think is relevant to this effort. (Your goals, your place in the world as a father, what this community means to you, etc.)
E-mail your essay to "scholarship [at] dad2summit [dot] com" before midnight EDT on Friday, December 12.
On Monday, December 22, scholarship winners will be chosen at random from a pool of all applicants that meet these requirements. If you win a scholarship, you'll receive additional instructions and travel booking/planning assistance, and Dad 2.0 will also refund the cost of your ticket!
In this season of giving, thank you all in advance for your generosity. You are helping to make the dad blogger community even stronger.
