Music Lessons

“Music Lesson today? Ugh how boring – it’s just a load of Mozart, Beethoven and a load of dodgy singers isn’t it? I mean come on – what does the teacher know about S Club and Backstreet Boys? I bet they don’t even know who they are. Yep, all we’ll be listening to is boring old Classical Music and then again maybe some horrid music that sounds all jumbled up by some old bloke called Struvinskee* or something! Ugh – how boring is this going to be? Oh I am jumping up and down in excitement!” Actually – learning music isn’t that boring (unless you have a boring teacher and don’t do all the fun ...  Read the complete review

Music... it's not all Mozart and Beethoven you know! Think of your everyday life. There's music on the radio while you're desperately trying to prise yourself out of bed, there may even be music when you're singing in the shower (this type of music may possibly not be all that tuneful but hey it's still there!), there's music on the television, there's music in shops and chances are there's gonna be that song in your head all day that no matter how hard you try, you just can't get rid of it!!

However, the school did not have a harp, so I ended up playing the Double Bass ...  Read the complete review

I myself,never cease to be amazed at how many private music teachers can charge such extortionate fees for their lessons. A typical half hour can cost anywhere from £15.00 to £25.00.depending on which area you live in. I myself teach classical and popular music,on Piano,Flute,Violin,Euphonium and most brass instruments to people in very low income brackets. I think music lessons should not be a luxury for the elite.I have many enquiries from rich parents,who want only for their childrens music lessons to be a status symbol to go along with the large house,luxury car and all the other window dressings of people who think that what they have in life ...  Read the complete review

But Mozart's genius most likely flourished thanks to his father, a gifted teacher who nurtured his young son?s musical curiosity by making lessons challenging, yet fun.
