At my mentorship the students perform twice a year and the Christmas show is coming up! So the rehearsals have become more frequent and more rigorous. I used to participate in these because I went to this school, obviously, so its very exciting watching them progress everyday! So far they have learned all the songs for the show, but next comes dividing up the solos(parts of songs sung by one individual). What's the most exciting is I get to help decide who gets what solo. This deliberation won't take place for about another two weeks, but it will be a difficult process. I think this helps a child; showing them that they won't get everything they want whether it's a solo in a song or a job when you're older, but that life will go on, and it is not the end of the world. It's not the best part obviously, but its a process! The best part will be watching them succeed on stage, which will be different for me because I'm not usually backstage, but its a nice change. Can't wait till then. I'll post the show dates, times, and prices if anyone wants to attend!

Blog 9: EQ

1.   I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

2.
 a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?
Yes, it has a framework and can have a lot of research to different ways it can be done. You could argue a point either way, and the wording makes sense.
 b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?
Yes, the answer can be answered in different categories
 c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?
No, because this doesn't take a stance, and you can't argue a point of personal opinion to each person.
 d.  How can an Anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?
No, because it doesn't follow the second rule. It simply calls for a short brief answer, and could only be answered in the same type of way each time. Also the wording may be wrong, I associate Anesthesiologists with a different area of expertise.

3. How can music instruction help increase a child's personal potential into adulthood?
