Organic Chemistry - Essential Knowledge

Organic Chemistry - Essential Knowledge'To be or not to be' is a question that has occupied the minds of scientists for centuries, and rightly so. The question stems from the complexities of nature and science and where is the best place to put 'entities' on the board of nature? Is a human being a living entity?Depending on how one views it, the answer to this question would have to be a very strong indicator of where a living thing resides in its biological scheme of things. By looking at the very definition of life, one can come to the conclusion that a living entity is not defined by the place where it resides but by what it is able to accomplish.As an example, consider a food source or a predator that is constantly shifting around in place with every predator that encounters it. The predator is a living entity, but because it is constantly changing its location, it is able to fulfill its needs by searching for food sources that are just as constant, while simultaneously functioni ng as a predator that it is.The food source and the predator both exist because they both possess the ability to attract energy to themselves. Energy attracts inanimate objects because it creates a potential difference between the objects. If the object has no energy then there will be no potential difference, therefore, no attraction and that means that there will be no life, just as long as the object doesn't have a physical shape or any type of mass.Now, if you take the food source and the predator, we can see that the food source has greater potential than the predator, therefore, it also has a greater attraction to energy than the predator. Therefore, the food source can move, which it does constantly to search for food sources, while the predator is not moving because it is constantly in motion.When an object that attracts and moves like this interacts with another object that has no motion, we see that the attraction causes the particle accelerator to accelerate. That acceler ation changes the particle's mass, which changes the current state of mass in the particle accelerator and changes the mass of the particle accelerator. Therefore, we can see that the object that causes the particle accelerator to accelerate to different velocities and the particle accelerator to change state, both are living entities and therefore, they are capable of attracting energy and that energy can change their physical shape.The change in the shape of the particle accelerator and the changes in the particle's mass result in different amounts of matter. This change in mass of the particles results in them being attracted to the energy of various types. These particles are either absorbed into the particles accelerator to change state or they are attracted by the energy of the accelerator.The particles accelerator is the living entity of the particle accelerator because the particle accelerator changes its state due to its interaction with energy. Therefore, this living entit y is also capable of creating, manipulating, and destroying particles with its own energy source.

Am I Tone Deaf The Truth Behind the Misconception

Am I Tone Deaf The Truth Behind the Misconception Suzy S. Do you think youre tone deaf and destined to be a bad singer for the rest of your life? Think again! Read on as voice teacher  Elaina R.  dispels the myth behind tone deafness Am I tone deaf? An alarming number of people ask themselves this question. But the truth is, tone deafness is a pretty rare phenomenon. Don’t give yourself up as a lost cause simply because you can’t carry a tune. Instead, learn what tone deafness is â€" and what common issues could be causing your pitch problems. What  Does  Tone Deaf Mean? For the tone deaf, hearing the pitch and processing it in the brain is impossible. Tone deaf people cannot distinguish between musical pitches because that is the way their brains work. There is even a medical term for this condition: amusia. According to scientists, congenital amusia (amusia not caused by brain injury) only affects 4% of people. So if you are having trouble singing in tune, it probably isn’t because you are tone deaf; its because you haven’t figured out the complex coordination between the brain, vocal cords, and breath that leads to pitch accuracy. In my years of teaching, I have met many students who have difficulty singing in tune, but not a single one of them was tone deaf! Are you still asking yourself, Am I tone deaf? Take this free tone deaf test from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to find out. Unfortunately there is no known cure for amusia (it’s just the way your brain is), so if you truly are tone deaf, singing probably isn’t the best choice for you. However, you can still enjoy playing a different instrument, such as drums. So, I’m Not Tone Deaf. Why Can’t I Match Pitch? Singing a pitch is a complicated coordination between the brain, the vocal cords, and the breath. First, the singer hears the pitch. Then, the singer must adjust their vocal cords so that they are just the right thickness to replicate the pitch. Finally, the singer uses their breath to make their vocal cords vibrate, producing the pitch. Failure on any one of these three fronts can make a singer sing out of tune. For most people, the second step getting the vocal cords to just the right position to sing a particular pitch is the hardest. Even people with perfect pitch sometimes sing out of tune for this very reason! The Many Faces of Pitch Problems I think of pitch-matching ability in stages. Some people start off at Stage 1, while others naturally start at Stage 4. Wherever you start, with the right kind of practice, you can progress through the stages until you make it to Stage 4. Stage 1: Usher I have no idea how to match pitch. I am always way, way off. With students like this, I usually start with simple free vocalization, having the student slide up and down their range and think about how they are making the changes that lead to the pitch going up or down. Then, I introduce pitch-matching exercises in a limited range, using an app like Pitch Analyzer to gauge accuracy. The more you practice matching pitch, the faster you will get better, so aim for five to 10  minutes per day. Stage 2: Stagehand I can match most pitches, but I sometimes sing off-key. Singers at Stage 2 still need to practice matching pitch every day. Unlike Stage 1 singers, though, you  can start stringing notes together, practicing matching three- or four-pitch sequences rather than single notes. You  should also practice large intervals of an octave or more (large intervals tend to be more disorienting). Stage 3: Background Singer I sometimes sing a little flat or sharp. Stage 3 singers have usually mastered the coordination between the brain and the vocal cords. For these singers, the problem is vocal technique. A singer who is often flat, for instance, may need to bolster their breath support or raise their facial resonators more. A singer who is often sharp may be using too much energy or air to fuel their sound. Stage 4: Diva Me, sing out of tune? Puh-lease! Whether by nature or nurture, Stage 4 singers are deadly accurate. Their brain, vocal cords, and singing technique work in tandem to produce spot-on pitches. The challenge for Stage 4 singers is to stay in tune during difficult moving passages or vocal extremes. Heres a recap: Am I Tone Deaf? No! If you are not one of the 4% of people who is truly tone deaf, you can learn to sing accurately. I have never had a student whose pitch accuracy has not improved with time. Just find a good singing instructor, practice every day, and slowly but surely, you will learn to sing in tune.

One Easy Way to Enhance Your Voice Lessons

One Easy Way to Enhance Your Voice Lessons Suzy S. Want to really improve your singing?   Truly owning your voice and making the most of your lessons requires more than just learning the lyrics and following your teachers direction. Read on for some great advice from Denver voice teacher Ruth C., and start approaching your singing from a whole new perspective Unlike other instruments, the voice is inside the body, which can make it a very frustrating instrument to understand! Scientists have done tons of studies to better understand how your two little vocal folds work when breath passes through them â€" but when you’re actually in the middle of your voice lesson, how can you understand what’s going on? The goal of lessons should always be to find your voice (not to mimic your favorite recording artist or your teacher).   The best possible way to make sure you understand what your teacher is having you do is to ask tons of questions.   It may feel silly to ask some basic questions, but I guarantee your teacher will love answering them! If it helps you to understand some of the anatomy/science of singing, ask for a full explanation from your teacher.   Teachers may use a variety of terms for the same idea (breath support, diaphragmatic breathing, etc.  â€" which all refer to the same thing), so make sure you and your teacher are on the same page.   Or if you work better with images (“singing with an even flow of air feels like ice skating”), make sure you and your teacher remember a few key ones to use in your lessons. Knowing the terms is one thing.   Feeling and being able to describe them as they happen in your body and voice is another.   Make sure you can identify how it feels to sing with good breath support. Does your rib cage expand?   Does your stomach expand or contract as you sing?   Do you run out of breath before the end of the phrase?   These are all questions to ask yourself and your teacher as you are working in your lesson. The practice of defining terms and seeing how they act in your voice will give you the best knowledge of all how to practice and sing successfully when your teacher isn’t there!   When you’re at home working on a song, can you feel the same flow of air, or relaxation in your jaw?   If not, then ask yourself how your teacher got you to find these qualities in your lesson.   (Having a recording of your lessons can help with this when your memory fails!) Learning to sing is not always easy, but practicing this kind of “Socratic Questioning” during your lessons will help you continue your improvement in between them.   When you have a better understanding of what really happened in those lessons, you can take that knowledge with you for the rest of your life!

How to Set Your Rates as an Art Tutor

How to Set Your Rates as an Art Tutor How Much Should You Charge As An Art Tutor? ChaptersWhat is Art?Offering a Fair Price for a Drawing Course Depending on the Level of the StudentChoose your Rates for your Drawing Course according to your DegreesOffering an All Inclusive Rate for a Drawing Course Including the MaterialWhat are the Packages of Drawing or Painting Courses?How to Bundle Art Classes into PackagesFinding the best  price to offer private drawing lessons is not an exact science.For one, even though many seek out tutoring companies to lend help with homework or provide supplemental instruction, doing so is still considered private tutoring - even though those one on one sessions may occur in a fairly crowded office or even in a group.Clients who engage the services of a tutoring center understandably pay higher fees to cover, among other things, study materials and office overhead. That means that, while hopeful parents may pay up to   £50 per session for a math tutor or an English tutor, the one actually giving help with grammar or maths might only re ceive   £20.It is thus understandable that you, like so many others, would prefer to be an independent tutor. We should bear in mind that most tutoring centers tutor in academic subjects, homework help and test prep.  But you are not an algebra tutor, a reading tutor, a chemistry tutor or even a French tutor, nor do you help any students sharpen their study skills.    And, while nobody is saying you are not qualified to conduct one on one tutoring in math and science, the discipline you are really passionate about is art - you are someone who strives to make our world a more beautiful place and teaches others how to do so as well.That adds a new dimension to your establishment in the tutoring business, the main one being that your discipline is more specialized, with a smaller potential for students academically motivated to succeed in mastering the knowledge necessary to write a college essay that will earn them high marks.Many enthusiastic art patrons seek art classes as an enrich ment activity rather than to succeed in gaining entrance to the art school of their dreams.That is why it's necessary to take into account several parameters so you get paid fairly while your students get a learning environment tailored to their artistic aspirations.Where will the painting or drawing workshops take place - will you travel to their homes, invite them to your studio or embrace modern teaching strategies and become an online tutor?Would you have to take your students' learning style into consideration, as a reading and writing tutor or one who teaches calculus might?Is the artistic material supplied (paper, paint, brushes, felt, etc.) for the drawing course?And would those materials work for kindergarten students as well as those enroled in universities?In what purpose are these courses or internships of plastic arts given?So many questions to ask as you become a tutor!  One of the most difficult is how to set a price for private lessons of a fairly remunerative and at tractive drawing course for the professional or the enthusiast who delivers it.Another pertinent one being... Clearly, becoming a tutor of art has wide-ranging possibilities!Yet, through all of the art - traditional, modern and done in these varieties of media, most people persist in thinking of art solely as painting and drawing.What type of art do you practice? What is your medium? Do you think tutoring future graphics artists should cost more because of the level of technical skill involved, or should teaching painting yield more per hour because it is more sought after?It is these types of questions that are at the heart of the discussion about setting rates for art tuition.Before we can guide you in setting fair rates for your art classes, we have to know what the art in question is.Are you teaching art as therapy, maybe to youths or the elderly? In this instance, technique would be less important than expression.Or, perhaps you've elected to take on the growing population of a dults who seek art classes in order to achieve a more satisfying work life balance.Here you would need to expound a bit on technique, as well as critique and possibly correct your students' work.  Might you look exclusively to tutor art students already enroled in a degree programme at university?With this calibre of student, you would have to be at your technical best, reinforcing theory as well as demonstrating the strokes and colour blending that will yield flawless works.    Whatever your medium, whomever your students and no matter whether you make use of today's modern drawing tools   - a Wacom tablet and your favourite software, we now discuss how to set your prices for tutoring in art.Offering a Fair Price for a Drawing Course Depending on the Level of the StudentDepending if the art teacher leads a private lesson for a child in leisure or for a preparation for an entrance examination in a school of art, the rate will be different. Quite logically, the price of a painting wo rkshop or drawing can vary from the simple to the double, let's say from £20 to £40 per hour.Indeed, the required technical level will not be the same, just like the personal involvement of the  teacher, which  can become a professor as well as a personal coach. But we can also wish to learn to draw for our own pleasure as can be seen here.The approach to always keep in mind is that of the win-win. It's a fact that the drawing or painting teacher loves art, but he offers classes to earn money.Namely that if the professor is self-employed to declare their hours of private drawing courses, they will have to put back a contribution of about 25%.For example, he can propose painting classes in their own residence for £20 an hour, asking the student to bring his material. Once the contributions are paid to the National Insurance Contributions Office, he will keep only approximately £15.In addition, if he supplies all the material from the paper to the eraser, you can quickly imagine t hat giving drawing courses is not very lucrative…Of course, if a student asks for an intensive  preparation, hoping  to enter  Newcastle University or the University of Oxford, for example, he will have to dig into his pockets.Now let us imagine you will host landscape watercolour painting courses for adult beginners, or host a street photography session.Here, you will have to consider whether you would take your student(s) into the field to actually view the landscape or street in question, along with whether you will provide the watercolours and the canvas - if that is your choice.You might even furnish the digital cameras...  For these lessons, you would have to consider the cost of everything, from travelling to the price of the canvas - unless you request that your student furnish materials (or camera) him/herself.And you will have to find students for your classes, too...You would also have to figure that going into the field would take a significant block of time, meaning t hat there would not be any other sessions on your  schedule while you are away.By contrast, a still life or portrait photography can be executed in a studio, so naturally you would not need to incorporate travel costs into your fee. Furthermore, you could limit class time to an hour or an hour and a half, meaning you may plan for more sessions on that day.What about a life drawing?  If your art tutoring services include drawing and painting a live model, you would have to factor the hourly cost of the model into your class rates.In such cases, the best tutors generally advertise the extra cost when they announce the class.You'll note that, in a lot of these instances, group sessions would be more feasible - imagine taking a lone art student into the field for a photography or landscape painting session!That is because, in most cases, teaching art in classes is more practical than individual instruction. As such, setting rates for a small group is easier done than for a lone art stud ent who requests home tutoring or online tutoring on a weekly basis.Anyone looking for a private tutor to learn art would most likely have something at stake: good marks in their art classes perhaps,   or knowing art history in order to pass a college entrance exam.If such individualized tutoring sessions are geared more toward a type of academic tutoring, you may set your rates competitively with other tutoring programs that help students achieve academic success!Find out what qualifications you need to become a private art instructor...Become a painter of watercolours by following private painting lessons! Photo via VisualHuntbecome an art instructor?And if you really want to learn to make attractive  watercolours  and the professor is an expert in acrylic paint, that's not necessarily the right person.This is why it's always better to test a first drawing course before making a commitment on the duration for a fixed package of 5 or 10 courses for example. This is good for the tea cher as for the student!SuperProf  allows art teachers and amateur painting and plastic arts students to simply enter into a relationship. The best of the site: art professors profiles are ultra complete to make a good choice.If the professor goes to the student's home, they can charge, of course, a compensation for the kilometres expenses. For example, if the course is 15 kilometres away from the place of residence of the teacher, he can ask for a stake at the level of £3 per course.Learn the best ways to find students for your art courses!The technique of the knife, an extra hand to take in a painting workshop! Photo credit: Ruth and Dave via Visualhunt.comOffering an All Inclusive Rate for a Drawing Course Including the MaterialThe art or painting teacher can choose a particular formula, which is to supply the material or part of the material for his painting course or internship.Let's make a point on the price of the supplies for drawing and painting:A kit of soft pastels costs from £25 to £70 according to the quality and the brandA tube of acrylic paint costs from £2 to £4.5 approximatelyA case of painting brushes costs from £4 to £40 according to the quality of the wood, the bristle (synthetic materials or not), the finish, etc.12 paper sheets Canson of 24 x 32 cm cost approximately £4.5 when10 sheets of the format big eagle of 75 x 110 cm amounts to £2.5For information purposes, a portfolio in the size of 80 x 120 cm amounts around £70 (essential for the aspiring artists).For the students who are sure to continue or who participate regularly in art workshops, it can be interesting to have their own material!Every sub-discipline in an online drawing and painting course can require a specific material. For example, for a workshop of watercolour, it's necessary to have a specific paint and adapted brushes.In any case, the minimum is to have a portfolio, a case with dry and soft lead pencils, a kneaded eraser and some sheets at least to begin. Thi s is the basis to learn the techniques of drawing and painting.It's common that a painter or illustrator has all the drawers filled with supplies or with sheets but providing everything is not suitable. Depending on the means of the art tutor, he can have more or less the material available there, this often depends on the professor drawing or painting status (student, professional, passionate, etc.).You don't lend your alcohol-based felt-tips Promaker of £25 the 12 units to anyone, in particular to the apprentice artists from 6 to 10 years old. Unless you offer a high-end course!It's up to the student to find the formula that corresponds to him, according to if he wishes to discover several techniques or to specialize in watercolour, oil paint, oil pastel, artistic collage, etc.To discover the basic drawing techniques, view the tutorial of the School of Fine Arts on this page.Take the break as a real painter when learning the painting techniques. Photo credit: Bennilover via Visua lHuntWhat are the Packages of Drawing or Painting Courses?A teacher who wishes to develop loyalty with his students can choose to propose thematic drawing or painting courses, or on demand in a group version.Rather than delivering courses in dribs and drabs, without knowing where it goes, an art tutor can be better organized. With this system, he manages more easily his employment and his money income.Another brilliant idea to justify the price of your drawing course, is to create a loyalty card. It allows you to differentiate yourself from your competitors, to give presents to the students who are loyal, and to create a sympathetic capital.Here are some ideas of rewards that you could offer to your diligent students:For 10 courses completed, the 11th at half-price, or the material given for the session, or a free course.For 20 courses bought, the 21th offered in a museum to copy a statue.With 20 courses bought, the following five with 20% discount.An workshop made, the second at ha lf-price.To gain acceptance of your prices for the drawing courses, there's nothing like good commercial techniques which will tempt your students to continue with you.Of course, think of smoothing the cost of the course offered in your basic formula so you don't have to pay of your own pocket.Moral: take out the calculator and run your thinking caps, even if you are a creative person.In some pencil strokes, the magic takes shape in a workshop of drawing. Photo via VisualhuntHow to Bundle Art Classes into PackagesAs you've seen, bundling your lessons is clearly more lucrative for you, all while providing savings for your students. However, it only makes sense that bundling is not a one size fits all proposition.For one, teaching children to draw trees and puppies with coloured pencils is less technically intense than talking a university student through the technical aspects of drawing a realistic human face or hand.And for those who want to paint or draw or otherwise create art for stress relief, their pursuit is less urgent than the A-Levels candidate who must write a paper on art history.Rule#1 for bundling: consider the motivation of your tutee.Our A-Levels student should only need you for a few weeks or months - just until exam day, after which s/he will move on to university and exposure to a higher level of art education.Still, if s/he should need further tutoring down the road, you want to be at the forefront of his/her mind, right?That is why providing a series of well thought out, targeted lessons, even at a lower price per session, will benefit you as much as your student.For such students, you may consider tutoring online; help build up their confidence by going over every part of their course curriculum so they will be completely familiar with ir.You might start with a free art session, permitting your student to draw anything s/he wants, while discussing technique. The next lesson - next week if you have time; in a few days if time is more pressi ng, you might talk about the impact of the Great Masters or aesthetics.The key to bundling such courses is to structure each lesson in keeping with the exam's structure.What if you're not tutoring test preparation? What if you teach art to a bunch of primary school students?This is a type of learner who primarily enjoys having fun, so keeping thing fresh and moving along at a relaxed pace would work best.Rule #2 for bundling: keep a lively pace and mix things up!This applies to art classes for children as well as for those who seek to learn art for pleasure. Few people want to rehash what they've already been exposed to, so designing a programme where every session brings something new will make your lessons exciting and fun; causing your students to return eagerly and ask when the next course starts!On the other hand, for those who really want to get a good, fundamental education in art, no matter what the medium, you should make your courses progressive, so that each successive le sson starts with a brief recap of the last session before building on that knowledge.You would naturally charge more for such course bundles than you would for those who are learning art as a hobby.  Another good course bundle would be targeted to care centres for the elderly, or perhaps you could organise a series of lessons at your local community centre.Rule #3 for bundling: target niche groupsHere, the emphasis is less on the technical aspects of art so much as they would be on socialising and outreach. You may provide the art supplies - be they yarn or other craft materials or watercolours, and you would arrange your lessons according to the facility's schedule.The greatest benefit to you would be that such arrangements could be open-ended, meaning they would be a steady gig for you. Furthermore, as you would be working through a facility, you may charge a flat per-hour rate rather than hoping for a high turnout and collecting fees from individual participants.One important asp ect to remember in bundling courses is the flow, from one lesson to the next. For example, if you are studying watercolour landscape painting one week, your next lesson should not jump into portraits in oils.Rule #4 for bundling: maintain consistencyAlthough there is a certain freedom of   expression in producing art, there should be a measure of stability, especially if your students are virtual novices to the discipline.Taking them too quickly through a subject matter they sincerely would like to absorb in depth could result in them giving you negative ratings - something you would want to avoid at all costs!Bundling your courses is a win-win scenario for you and your students! Source Pixabay Credit: PDPicsIn Summary:Setting your prices for art tuition is a lot like setting prices for math tutoring, English tutoring, college tutoring or online tutoring.Consider the age of your students and balance it against the level of expertise needed to teach them.Consider your level of experi ence with the material in question: being degreed permits you slightly higher rates than, say, an undergraduate who tutors during summer break.Consider the rates set by other art tutors in your area.No one will argue with the fact that the ability to create art, and the ability to teach others how to create art is deserving of fair compensation. The point to consider here is that your ability to teach art is only valuable to those who want to learn it!So, as you ponder what you should charge for your art classes, you should be careful to not price yourself out of the tutoring market by setting your rates either too high or too low, that last for fear that prospective students will think your lessons would have no value if they're that cheap.Thanks to this article, now you know how to set your price as an art teacher to propose private lessons of drawing or painting.In learning how to become a drawing teacher, it's necessary to take into account your level of knowledge, experience, c ertifications, the offering of the material or not, but also the request of the student-customer and his objectives.If they just come to learn to draw, it will demand you less effort than for a preparation for an entrance examination for a school of applied arts.To find tricks that will allow you to excel in your courses of drawing, keep reading our blog!

In terms of private Italian tutorials, there are three main types: face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials.Face-to-face tutorials involve just the student and their tutor and are tailored to the former. Your tutor can work with your strengths and weaknesses and put together a programme for you. These tutorials tend to be the most costly but they're also the most cost-effective.Online tutorials are similar but you're not in the same place as your tutor. Thanks to the internet, webcams, and video conferencing, you can learn a language online. Online tutors tend to charge less than face-to-face tutors because they have fewer outgoings and expenses and can schedule more tutorials each week.Finally, gro up tutorials include groups of students learning together. If you and a group of friends, such as your travel companions, want to learn some Italian before you go, you can get group tutorials. With each student sharing the cost of the tutor's time, this type of tutorials tends to work out cheaper per person per hour.
