These eminent individuals have integrated music into their thinking process. Also included is an article on the Benefits of Learning a Musical Instrument and fun ways to learn during summer vacation. Our article of the month is “Budgeting Your Way to Success” by Madeline Frank, Ph.D.
Radio Feature Question for June 2023: How did Classical music play a part of Dr. Albert Einstein’s life as a Physicist, Nobel Prize Winner, and musician and which musical instrument did he play?
Our fascinating Radio Show Feature Question for December 2007: How did Dr. Albert Einstein conceive his “Theory of Relativity?”
Albert Einstein as a child was a very poor student in school. His teachers said “he was too stupid to learn.” How did he become one of the smartest men of the Twentieth Century?
Albert’s Mother, Pauline Koch Einstein never never gave up on her son. She was an accomplished pianist and she bought Albert a violin at the age of 6. As he learned to play the violin his mother would accompany him on the piano. His mother introduced him to his favorite composer Mozart.At the age of 13 “he was aroused by Mozart into an awareness of the mathematical structure of music” (Clark, 1984, p.29).
Albert studied the violin and became quite good at it. He found his inspiration to do his school work and to later solve his scientific investigations by playing on his violin.
“His music as he would explain on occasions, was in some ways an extension of his thinking processes, a method of allowing the subconscious to solve particularly tricky problems. Einstein’s eldest son has said, whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music and that would usually resolve all his difficulties”.
Dr. Einstein said, “Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music, I see my life in terms of music.”
Albert Einstein won his Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. Dr. Einstein played concerts in his home with his scientist friends and other musicians regularly. He played violin and piano duets on his violin, which he called Lena, with Max Planck, Father of Quantum Theory on piano and with Paul Ehrenfest, Vienna born physicist and skilled pianist. Einstein also played duets with his good friend, Max Born, Quantum Physicist and wonderful pianist. (The Born-Einstein Letters 1916-55 Max Born, Albert Einstein)
“In 1929, Einstein visited Belgium and was invited to the royal palace to play chamber music with Queen Elizabeth. The Queen, formerly Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria, was an ardent violinist and supporter of the arts, including the famed Brussels Competition, which she originated.” (Albert Einstein: The Violinist by Peregrine White)
Dr. Einstein played Mozart Sonatas with Robert Casadesus and also performed a benefit concert for the American Friends Service Committee for Refugee Children of England with Gaby Casadesus, a magnificent pianist.
Dr. Einstein every Wednesday at his home held music sessions with Nicholas Harsanyi, violinist and conductor, and with Valentine Bargmann, a Princeton University scientist who specialized in mathematical physics, and was a wonderful pianist.
David Rothman, owner of a Department Store in Southold, Long Island and an Amateur violinist and astronomer, became a friend of Dr. Einstein’s when he came in to buy sandals. Rothman lived near Dr. Einstein’s summer cottage at Nassau Point. They enjoyed musical evenings twice a week at Rothman home where Rothman invited other musicians to come and play Haydn quartets.
Dr. Albert Einstein was one of the world’s greatest scientists. He was a Physicist, Nobel Prize winner, lifelong musician, husband, father, and grandfather.
Fun learning activities for summer vacation:
- Are you planning to take your child on vacation this summer? How about having a journal for your child to write in about their vacation? Ask them what they learned about each place they visited and what did they enjoy most about each place? (Two or three line.) Go with your child to the library to find a book to read about the place you are visiting!
- Ask your child to help you cook dinner for the family by having them help you with a recipe. Pick a recipe from the place you and your children are visiting. They will be reading and assisting in measuring out ingredients, which will help them in both math and science.
- The local science and history museums offer classes for children. Find one that will be most interesting to your child. Buy and build models of Rockets, planes, or ships….
- Go to the beach with your children and build sand castles, and Rockets from sand, sea grass, sea weed, and shells. Don’t forget the mot on the Castle.
- Have your child help you make up Flash Cards in bright colors and letters to learn multiplication tables and vocabulary words.
“Budgeting Your Way to Success” by Madeline Frank, Ph.D., DTM
Forbes magazine said, “78% of workers live paycheck to paycheck”.
Several of my university students have told me “their finances are a mess and their mortgage loans on their cars and houses are too high. They felt overwhelmed by their finances.” I shared with them my Momma’s wisdom of budgeting and banking for their success.
You have overdrawn your bank account for the third time. Your rent check has bounced, your power bill check has bounced, your monthly insurance payment has bounced and your car has just broken down. Your bank has charged a transaction fee of $35 per bounced check. This is the fastest way to double what you actually owe by adding all of these extra charges.
My Momma, Romayne Leader Frank, a lawyer and counselor, taught her clients and me how to budget our money. During my high school years Momma taught me to make a budget of my expenses, to keep a ledger of the money going into the bank and the money to be paid out for expenses. She also taught me to put my entire paycheck, after taxes were deducted from the pay check, in the bank. Then I would pay all my bills and take out only the necessary amount for food and necessities. The remaining money went into my savings account. As a college student in New York City, I always had a job to help me pay for tuition, apartment rent, utilities, and food.
So, let’s get started and think this out together. You want everything in your budget. Whether it’s your personal or business finances, you have to have a plan in place for your success and you need to learn to budget your money.
What are the eight questions you need to answer to build your budget?
- Are you withholding enough money from your wages to pay for taxes?
- How much money do you earn each month after taxes?
- How much is your rent or mortgage payment each month?
- How much is your power bill, gas bill, water bill, sewer bill, telephone, cell phone and insurance for your apt/house, self and for the car each month?
- How much does it cost to put gas in the car each week to go from home to work and then return home? Multiply the total amount by 4.
- How much does it cost in groceries each week? Multiply the total amount by 4.
- How much will it cost for entertainment and new clothes per week? Multiply the total amount by 4.
- Are you budgeting for unforeseen consequences such as family emergencies, loses not covered by insurance, emergency travel and other events? Include an amount per week and multiply by 4.
All your expenses need to be included in your budget. Once you have written down your total amounts for your bills/expenses per month you subtract them from your monthly pay check that you will be receiving after taxes. The amount that is left is the beginning of your rainy-day fund to invest for your future to eventually buy a car or a house.
The concept is to spend only what you have and to stay on budget. You cannot buy frivolous things that you do not need and cannot afford. You have to stay within your budget.
By having your budget in place, you will know exactly how much money you have left over every month to begin saving for your future.
Remember you cannot spend what you do not have.
By following these steps and learning how to budget your money, you will be budgeting your way to success. © 2019 Madeline Frank

Albert Einstein, Mtaalamu wa Fizikia, Mshindi wa Tuzo ya Nobel, na Mwanamuziki: Makala ya kila mwezi ya Madeline na Vidokezo vya Muziki Blog na Radio Show kwa Juni 2023. "Blog yetu na kipindi cha redio huadhimisha maisha na kazi ya Dk Albert Einstein, Mwanafizikia, Mshindi wa Tuzo ya Nobel, na Mwanamuziki.""" Wanafizikia wengi, wanakemia, wahandisi, walimu, watafiti, madaktari, wanasayansi, wanahisabati, na wengineo ulimwenguni wamejifunza na kucheza ala za muziki tangu utotoni. Watu hao mashuhuri wameingiza muziki katika njia yao ya kufikiri. Pia ni pamoja na makala juu ya Faida za Kujifunza Chombo cha Muziki na njia za kufurahisha za kujifunza wakati wa likizo ya majira ya joto. "Msemo wa mwezi huu ni ""Budgeting Your Way to Success"" na Madeleine Frank, Ph.D. Swali la Radio kwa Juni 2023: Jinsi gani muziki wa kawaida ulicheza sehemu ya maisha ya Dk Albert Einstein kama Mtaalamu wa Fizikia, Mshindi wa Tuzo ya Nobel, na mwanamuziki na ni ala gani ya muziki alicheza?" "Msemo wa kwanza wa kipindi cha redio cha Desemba 2007 uliandika hivi: ""Albert Einstein alielewaje nadharia yake ya upendeleo?" Walimu wake walisema "alikuwa mpumbavu sana kujifunza". Jinsi gani akawa mmoja wa watu wenye akili zaidi wa Karne ya ishirini? Mama yake, Pauline Koch, alimuunga mkono mwanawe. Alipokuwa na umri wa miaka sita, Albert alipata violin. Alipojifunza kucheza fidla, mama yake alimsaidia kucheza piano. "Mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 13 ya maisha yake, Mozart alishirikiana na ""mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 13 ya maisha yake, Mozart alishirikiana na ""mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 13 ya maisha yake, Mozart alishirikiana na ""mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 13 ya maisha yake.""" Albert alijifunza kucheza fidla na akawa stadi sana. Alipata msukumo wake wa kufanya kazi yake ya shule na baadaye kutatua uchunguzi wake wa kisayansi kwa kucheza fidla yake. <unk> Muziki wake kama angeweza kueleza katika hafla, ilikuwa kwa njia fulani upanuzi wa michakato yake ya kufikiri, njia ya kuruhusu subconscious kutatua matatizo hasa tricky. Mwana mkubwa wa Einstein alisema, wakati wowote alihisi kwamba alikuwa amefika mwisho wa barabara au katika hali ngumu katika kazi yake, angekimbilia muziki na hiyo kwa kawaida ingeweza kutatua shida zake zote. Dakt. Einstein alisema, "Maisha bila kucheza muziki haiwezekani kwangu. "Albert Einstein, ambaye aliwahi kuwa na umri wa miaka kumi na sita, aliandika: ""Mimi huishi ndoto zangu za mchana katika muziki, na ninaona maisha yangu katika muziki.""Albert Einstein alishinda tuzo ya Nobel ya Fizikia mwaka wa 1921.""" Dakt. Einstein alicheza maonyesho nyumbani kwake pamoja na marafiki wake wanasayansi na wanamuziki wengine kwa ukawaida. Alipiga dueti za violin na piano kwenye fidla yake, ambayo aliita Lena, na Max Planck, Baba wa Nadharia ya Quantum kwenye piano na na Paul Ehrenfest, Vienna-mzaliwa mwanafizikia na pianist stadi. Einstein pia alicheza duet na rafiki yake wa karibu, Max Born, Mwanafizikia wa Quantum na mwanamuziki wa piano wa ajabu. "Mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1900, Albert Einstein alishirikiana na mwanafalsafa wa Uingereza, Max Born, katika safari ya kwenda ""kucheza muziki wa chumba"" katika jumba la kifalme la Uingereza." "Mfalme wa Uingereza, Elizabeth II, alikuwa mwanamuziki wa violin na msaidizi wa sanaa, ikiwa ni pamoja na mashindano maarufu ya Brussels, ambayo alianzisha. ""Albert Einstein: The Violinist"" na Peregrine White, Einstein alicheza Mozart Sonata na Robert Casadesus na pia alicheza tamasha la misaada kwa American Friends Service Committee for Refugee Children of England na Gabby Casadesus, pianist wa ajabu." Einstein alikuwa akifanya mazoezi ya muziki kila Jumatano nyumbani kwake na Nicholas Harsanyi, mwimbaji wa fidla na kiongozi wa muziki, na Valentine Bargman, mwanasayansi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Princeton ambaye alikuwa mtaalamu wa fizikia ya hisabati na alikuwa mwanamuziki mzuri wa piano. David Rothman, mmiliki wa duka la bidhaa katika Southold, Long Island na amateur violinist na mtaalamu wa nyota, akawa rafiki wa Dk Einstein wakati yeye alikuja kununua viatu. Rothman aliishi karibu na nyumba ya majira ya kiangazi ya Dakt. Einstein huko Nassau Point. Walikuwa na jioni za muziki mara mbili kwa wiki nyumbani kwa Rothman ambapo Rothman aliwaalika wanamuziki wengine kuja na kucheza quartet za Haydn. Dakt. Albert Einstein alikuwa mmoja wa wanasayansi mashuhuri zaidi ulimwenguni. Alikuwa Mwanafizikia, mshindi wa Tuzo ya Nobel, mwanamuziki wa maisha yote, mume, baba, na babu. Shughuli za kujifunza za kufurahisha kwa ajili ya likizo ya majira ya joto: - Je, unapanga kumchukua mtoto wako likizo majira haya ya joto? Je, unaweza kuwa na kitabu cha kumbukumbu ambacho mtoto wako anaweza kuandika kuhusu likizo yake? Waulize ni nini walichojifunza kuhusu kila mahali walipotembelea na ni nini walichopenda zaidi kuhusu kila mahali. (Mstari mbili au tatu.) Nenda na mtoto wako kwenye maktaba ili upate kitabu cha kusoma kuhusu mahali unapoenda! Msaidie mtoto wako kupika chakula cha jioni kwa kumpa kichocheo. Chagua mapishi kutoka mahali ambapo wewe na watoto wako mnatembelea. Wao watakuwa kusoma na kusaidia katika kupima nje viungo, ambayo itawasaidia katika wote hesabu na sayansi. - Makumbusho ya sayansi na historia ya mahali hapo hutoa madarasa kwa ajili ya watoto. Tafuta moja ambayo itakuwa ya kupendeza zaidi kwa mtoto wako. Nunua na kutengeneza mifano ya roketi, ndege, au meli.... - Nenda pwani na watoto wako na kujenga majumba ya mchanga, na roketi kutoka mchanga, nyasi ya bahari, magugu ya bahari, na makombora. Usisahau motte juu ya Castle. - Msaidie mtoto wako kutengeneza kadi za Flash zenye rangi nyangavu na herufi ili kujifunza meza za kuzidisha na maneno. "Budgeting Your Way to Success"" na Madeline Frank, Ph.D., DTM, gazeti la Forbes, alisema, ""78% ya wafanyakazi wanaishi mshahara kwa mshahara.""" Wanafunzi wangu kadhaa wa chuo kikuu wameniambia <unk> fedha zao ni fujo na mikopo yao ya nyumba kwenye magari na nyumba zao ni ya juu sana. Walijisikia wamechanganyikiwa na fedha zao. Nilishiriki nao hekima ya Mama yangu ya bajeti na benki kwa mafanikio yao. Umechukua pesa nyingi kupita kiasi kwenye akaunti yako ya benki kwa mara ya tatu. Mshahara wa kodi yako umepungua, gharama za umeme zimepungua, malipo ya bima yako ya kila mwezi yamepungua na gari lako limeharibika. Benki yako inatoza ada ya $ 35 kwa kila hundi iliyopigwa. Hii ni njia ya haraka ya mara mbili kile unachostahili kwa kuongeza malipo yote ya ziada. Mama yangu, kiongozi wa Romayne Frank, mwanasheria na mshauri, aliwafundisha wateja wake na mimi jinsi ya kupanga bajeti ya pesa zetu. Wakati wa miaka yangu ya shule ya sekondari, Mama alinifundisha kuweka bajeti ya gharama zangu, kuweka kitabu cha pesa zinazoingia benki na pesa zinazolipwa kwa ajili ya gharama. Pia alinifundisha kuweka mshahara wangu wote, baada ya kodi kukatwa kutoka kwenye mshahara, benki. Kisha nililipa bili zangu zote na kuchukua kiasi tu cha chakula na vitu vya lazima. Pesa zilizobaki ziliingia kwenye akaunti yangu ya akiba. Nilipokuwa mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu huko New York City, sikuzote nilikuwa na kazi ya kufanya ili kunisaidia kulipa ada ya masomo, kodi ya nyumba, matumizi ya umeme, na chakula. Kwa hiyo, hebu kuanza na kufikiri hii nje pamoja. Unataka kila kitu kiwe katika bajeti yako. Iwe ni fedha zako za kibinafsi au za biashara, lazima uwe na mpango wa mafanikio yako na unahitaji kujifunza kupanga bajeti ya pesa zako. Ni maswali gani 8 ambayo unahitaji kujibu ili ufanye bajeti? - Je, unashikilia pesa za kutosha kutoka kwa mshahara wako ili kulipa kodi? - Unapata pesa ngapi kila mwezi baada ya kodi? - Kiasi cha kodi yako ya nyumba au malipo ya mkopo wa nyumba kila mwezi ni kiasi gani? - Ni kiasi gani cha bili yako ya umeme, gesi, maji, mifereji ya maji machafu, simu, simu ya mkononi na bima kwa ajili ya nyumba yako, binafsi na kwa ajili ya gari kila mwezi? - Ni gharama gani kuweka mafuta katika gari kila wiki kwenda kutoka nyumbani kwenda kazini na kisha kurudi nyumbani? Kwa hiyo, mara ya jumla ya jumla kwa 4. - Inagharimu pesa ngapi kununua vyakula kila juma? Kwa hiyo, mara ya jumla ya jumla kwa 4. - Ni kiasi gani kitakachogharimu kwa ajili ya burudani na nguo mpya kwa juma? Kwa hiyo, mara ya jumla ya jumla kwa 4. - Je, wewe bajeti kwa ajili ya matokeo yasiyotazamiwa kama vile dharura ya familia, hasara si kufunikwa na bima, safari ya dharura na matukio mengine? Kuongeza kiasi kwa kila wiki na kuzidisha kwa 4. Gharama zote zinapaswa kuingizwa katika bajeti yako. Baada ya kuandika jumla ya gharama za kila mwezi, unaweza kuondoa kutoka kwa malipo ya kila mwezi ambayo utapokea baada ya kodi. Kwa kiasi hicho, unaweza kuweka akiba ya siku ya mvua ili uwekeze katika siku zijazo na kununua gari au nyumba. Wazo ni kutumia tu kile unacho na kushikamana na bajeti. Hatuwezi kununua vitu visivyo na maana ambavyo hatutaki wala hatuwezi kuvumilia. Lazima uendelee ndani ya bajeti yako. Kwa kuwa na bajeti yako mahali, utajua hasa ni pesa ngapi umebaki kila mwezi kuanza kuokoa kwa ajili ya siku zako za baadaye. Kumbuka huwezi kutumia kile usicho nacho. Kwa kufuata hatua hizi na kujifunza jinsi ya kuweka bajeti ya pesa zako, utakuwa ukifanya bajeti njia yako ya mafanikio.
