| Article Title :: The Most Helpful Piano Lesson |
| |
|
The most helpful piano lesson I ever had was given when my
teacher called a number of her pupils together in a class and
actually showed us how to practice. Not told us how, but
actually showed us how. I had had other teachers deliver long
lectures on how to do it but this was the first time one ever
demonstrated her method to me with her sleeves rolled up - and
nothing up her sleeve!
In this lesson the teacher memorized a page and a half of a
piece which was entirely new to her and worked it out as she
would have done by herself.
She read it over once to see what it was all about and, without
losing any time, she went right to work on the first phrase and
memorized as she went along. I (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What is the Best Hand Position? |
| |
|
The "self helper" among piano students is often so bewildered by
a mass of contradictory directions regarding certain basic
factors of his study, that he finds peculiar solace in the
Scriptural affirmative "all men are liars!"
Take, for instance, the position of the hand - a matter of prime
importance. The student is warned by numberless and undoubted
authorities that he can never hope to attain eminence as a
pianist unless he holds his hand "perfectly flat"; "a little
arched"; "slightly inclined toward the thumb"; "inclined
slightly toward the little finger"; "pointing slightly inward";
and one of the latest advises him to hold it practically "any
old way!"
Bewilderingly simple, isn't (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 9 Tips For Taking Great Digital Photos |
| |
|
Introduction
Modern cameras are highly automatic in operation. They have auto
focus and auto exposure. The camera will focus on the subject -
often identified by a small circle or square at the centre of
the viewfinder - and calculate an appropriate exposure by
detecting the level of reflected light - usually from the same
spot. A slight pressure on the shutter release will activate
those two functions, without taking a picture. Further pressure
on the shutter release will result in a photo being taken.
1 Take care to Focus and Expose on the Subject of the Image

background of an interesting harbour. Your girl friend is six

Method 1
Equipment
I fish baits at all depths, not just the bottom, in wide-open
water. I always set up and fish deep lake structures. Besides an
understanding of the contours on the bottom of the lake, being
mobile and being able to read your fish locator are the keys.
The tools I use are 8-foot heavy action rods, circle hooks, cut
and live shad, balloons and the all-important fish locator. I
use 30-pound line, large capacity reels, 8-foot heavy action
rods, 2 oz. Egg sinkers, barrel swivels and #7/0 circle hooks.
Basically a Carolina Rig, I have a hook with an 18-inch leader
tied to your barrel swivel, which is connected to your main
line, which is where your egg sinker is attached. My (read full article) |

Introduction
Many of the people about to take one of my guided trips don’t
believe that Catfish feed as aggressively as other game fish.
People are used to throwing out their bait and letting it set
while they wait. Some days this works and they don’t have to
wait very long, but some days we all know that the wait can be
very long. This waiting is what encouraged me to try to catch
Blue Cats using other methods. Some techniques are passed down
from generation to generation and these tried and true methods
have caught Catfish since people have fished for them. I have
used these methods most of my life and it was the way I was
taught to catch Catfish. On the opposite end of the Cat-fishi (read full article) |
