The Alexander Technique is taught in colleges throughout the world. This time-tested method for improving posture and musical freedom is worth the time to study. Increase your ease with your instrument and increase the longevity at the piano (or with whatever instrument you play). Vocalists, as well, gain immeasurably by learning the Alexander Technique.

I have a Master's Degree in Education, and I have been a home-school teacher for 4 years (3rd through 12th grades), and a professional tutor for 3 years, mostly for college students, and specializing in English, English Lit, History (U.S. and World), Social Studies, Writing (both creative and research-paper based) and Drama.
I enjoy using fun simulation tools to teach normally dry subjects like Government and History to go way past memorizing dates and political terms to enjoying why and how things are and came to be.

Ph. D. Organic Chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis
Teaching Locations:
Online
I'm a Ph. D chemist trained in a prestigious US university and extensive experience in teaching and tutoring in high school sciences, freshman General Chemistry, sophomore Organic Chemistry, and advanced chemistry courses.
Through one-on-one and group tutoring, the subjects will be presented in a way that caught interest, clarified difficult topics and led student(s) through complex areas, and put knowledge into context so that its relevance was apparent.
As a chemistry educator, especially one who is tutoring at the high school and undergraduate levels, I will bring a lot of energy to my student(s). If I can't get excited about my subject, why should my student(s)? Another important element of my tutoring is encouraging reasoned thinking and rational problem solving, especially in developing logical arguments.

Piano pedals are levers which alter the sound of the piano in a variety of different ways. The three types of pedals most pianos have are, from right to left: a sustain pedal, a sostenuto pedal, and a soft pedal. Note: Some digital keyboards may only have one - the sustain pedal - which you can plug into the keyboard. As you get more comfortable at the piano, you may start to wonder about these three pedals at the bottom. What do the pedals on a piano do? You'll find the answers in t …

Is there a best age for learning guitar? We asked guitar teacher Linda L., who has taught young children, teens, adults, and seniors for her take... My opinion on the best age at which to start learning guitar has evolved over the years. I started teaching myself to play the guitar at the age of 14. The book that I used to teach myself featured photos of a 7-year-old girl demonstrating how each chord was to be played. The author of the book told the readers that he had this youn …

No matter how much you prepare for your moment in the spotlight, anything can happen on stage! This unpredictability makes performing lots of fun, but it can also be scary. However, if you prepare for your performance the right way, you can even forget the words to the song you're singing and still deliver a top-notch performance. TakeLessons teacher Kayla T. went through the nightmare of forgotten lyrics and lived to tell about it... It was a cold mid-February morning, in the year …
