• When deciding which musical instrument to start lessons on (counting voice as an instrument!), we need to consider these three questions:
    1. Do you like the sound?
    2. Do you like how it feels when you play?
    3. How soon do you want to be able to make music?
    (Wrapped up in that last question is these: How hard are you willing to work? Do you…Read More

    • Overall I like this a lot. I’m a little confused which statements you are using the numbered or asterisked sentences.I know they are related, still a bit confused. Another element you might consider is in #1– is it useful to distinguish between how the instrument sounds when you try to play in the beginning or as it is supposed to be played…Read More

      • Thank you, Joel! Very detailed as always. The formatting here is a little limited. I’ll be fleshing out the numbered points in 5 videos (overview, each point, summary). The asterisks represent bullet points for the first video. #1–finished product sound; #2–how it feels to play; #3–this is funny, because “learning curve” was the phrase…Read More

        • Sorry, it maybe that learning curve is better for me than challenge level, and there maybe a more direct way to say it. Or maybe, I’m just Fickle! LOL!!!

          • Yes, I’m sure I managed to take it from bad to worse! And it’s really good to know. But actually #3 is the words I plan to use, and everything below is just notes. Thanks as always!

    • I really like this and love love the title. I have a curiosity around #2 – they don’t know how to play yet so is it about “how it feels to play with it!!!” – although that’s awkward languaging – but I do know what you mean. how it feels to hold the instruments? (although a piano you won’t hold it necessarily)…
      the asterisk – the first one -…Read More

      • Thanks, Daniela! Regarding #2 yes, I wish you could join us! There will be teachers at every station assisting folks with proper set-up and technique. You’d get an idea of how fussy each is (ukulele–not at all; violin–very) and whether your body (neck, shoulders, etc.) is more suited to one than another. Of course, this is just a taste, and…Read More

    • I love this so much! I have a desire to learn piano and ukelele… but #3 is definitely a barrier for me. I’d LOVE to visit your petting zoo though. πŸ™‚

      • Thanks! It’ll be our first time, but I bet it will be a blast! Ukulele is actually the speediest track from zero to hero. Didn’t I see instruments hanging on your wall in the Zoom call?

    • Looking good! I don’t quite understand the scale of 1 – 10 for what confidence feels like. How good it feels? Please include a time zone for the workshop in your post and on the landing page. Love the image of the kitty looking in the mirror! Is there a way to get a higher resolution photo?

      • Thanks so much Ruth! I will definitely include the TimeZone. The kitty-lion image one used to be found all over google images. I will look for a higher resolution version. And I will examine the numbering again, and see if I can make it more relatable or look at dropping it. Thanks again for all the great feedback.

  • Hey All! I’m excited to be a part of the club. I am taking my first shot at my Purpose, Vision, and Mission and would love any suggestions/feedback you may have.

    Purpose Statement: Spreading love, beauty, and kindness is pure magic and heals the world.

    Vision Statement: We believe good design is magical, unique to your business, and speaks…Read More

    • 1. To me, the purpose leads directly into the vision. Love it! 2. I’m not in the demographic, so take these with a grain of salt: New Age, traditional, Eastern-influenced, mystical, transcendent. There are definitely others in the program who identify as this demographic. Check with them for what they prefer to be called, and whether any of these…Read More

    • I don’t think the purpose connects with the business. When I read the purpose, I thought you did something along the lines of crystals, mystical, energy healing type stuff. I never would have thought of graphic design.

      I don’t know if there is a word that captures beauty, love and kindness, but maybe something like Love + Healers (Healing…Read More

      • I love this Annette “Love + Healers (Healing Practitioners) + Graphic design = pure magic that heals the world”

        Good point about what you do not being ‘woo’… and I do think you would be part of my target market… So I’ll continue to ponder. Maybe saying ‘healers and…’ Thank you!

    • Does adding “through web design” help solve the Purpose conundrum, “Spreading love, beauty, and kindness through web design is pure magic and heals the world.” Woo words – alternative health, New Age… you can probably look for synomyms or look at some of the classifications among book sellers/reviewers like Amazon, GoodReads, etc.

  • I think I discovered my 3 step process – maybe? – I have revamped it here…(as the previous seemed more like the focus of each course and not a process within the course). Any feedback?

    • This is a late response, hopefully, it is still useful.
      Overall, I like this a lot.
      There is some repetition in the lines that needs some minor tweaking.
      1. DISCOVER – Discover that if you can walk you can dance. We take your natural movement to your unique version of tango.
2. LEARN – You will learn the basic steps. They are the building block…Read More
