MOSCOW | Fri Dec 9, 2011 10:40am EST
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's opponents hope to bring large numbers of people out onto the streets across Russia on Saturday for rallies that will test their ability to channel outrage over allegations of election fraud into a powerful protest movement.
Demonstrations in dozens of cities, from Kaliningrad in the west to Vladivostok on the Pacific coast nearly 7,400 km (4,600 miles) away, will also gauge Putin's tolerance for pressure from the streets.
The parliamentary election last Sunday, in which his ruling United Russia party won only a slim majority in the State Duma lower house, showed growing discontent with his rule and the political system he has dominated for 12 years.
"People will come out tomorrow ... because they are sick of the party of swindlers and thieves," said Yevgeniya Chirikova, a prominent activist and one of the organizers, using a popular label for the ruling party that has spread on the Internet.
The protesters have permission to stage a big rally in Moscow. But police, whose show of force doused protests after a rally on Monday turned into the biggest opposition rally in the capital for years, have vowed to stamp out any illegal actions.
This has increased investor jitters about political stability before a presidential vote in March which is expected to return Putin to the Kremlin.
Opinion polls show Putin, 59, is still Russia's most popular politician. He could rule the world's biggest country and energy producer until 2024 if he is elected in March and again six years later, but his authority is now under threat.
The decline in support for United Russia was a sign of frustration with corruption, fears of economic stagnation and resentment over the huge gap between the rich and poor.
Putin's plan to swap jobs with President Dmitry Medvedev next year has deepened feelings of disenfranchisement among Russians who believe they are powerless to influence politics.
Rival parties and politicians barred from the election say even the official result was inflated by violations such as ballot-box stuffing, and allegations of fraud have spread on the Internet along with calls to turn out for protests.
The biggest protest is expected in Moscow. Emboldened by an crowd of some 5,000 at Monday's rally, organizers hope for an even bigger showing on Saturday. By noon on Friday, nearly 60,000 people using Facebook and the Russia site VKontakte had pledged to show up.
In the Pacific coast city of Vladivostok, Artyom Samsonov, a communist elected to parliament, said he and others in his party would protest "in solidarity with the whole country."
"Votes were crudely and cynically stolen from voters and given to United Russia," he said.
Along with a police crackdown on unapproved demonstrations in Moscow this week, Putin has used a mix of threats, criticism and hints of compromise to try to defuse the protests over the election and blunt calls for an end to his rule.
He has accused the United States of inciting protests and said foreign countries were spending hundreds of millions of dollars to influence Russian elections.
Moscow resident Roman, 23, said he did not think the United States had anything to do with the protests, but that he would not join demonstrators on Saturday.
"I don't agree with the election results either, but I don't want a revolution now," he said.
Putin and Medvedev have both said that Russians have a right to protest but only within the bounds of permission granted by local authorities who normally allow demonstrations only at specific locations and limit turnout.
Saturday's protests in Moscow was initially planned for Revolution Square, steps from the Kremlin, where authorities granted permission for 300 people to protest -- a likely recipe for a crackdown if thousands show up.
But city authorities said on Friday they had granted permission for 30,000 people to gather at a less prominent, and less symbolic, location across the Moscow river from the Kremlin.
Putin may hope to show his government will tolerate peaceful protests within the limits it sets but will crack down on anyone who ventures outside those boundaries. Some Putin foes vowed to protest in Revolution Square as planned.
Some Russians oppose the protests. Yelena Kislyova, a 42-year-old woman in the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg, said protesting the results of the vote was like "raising your fists after the fight is over."
"I am categorically against any protests," she said.
Investors are asking whether Saturday will be a bump in the road or a sign of growing instability. That uncertainty contributed to sharp declines in the value of Russian stocks and the rouble on Friday.
"Domestic factors could improve after this weekend if we see the opposition movement pass without any major force," said Nikolay Podguzov, head of fixed income strategy at VTB Capital.
China, Russia's huge neighbor and frequent ally at the U.N. Security Council, showed where its sympathies lie. Organisers of China's Confucius Peace Prize awarded it to Putin, praising his opposition to NATO air attacks during violence in Libya.

Sunday's race is the fourth Ironman for Cody Ross, 40, who has an M Dot tattoo — worn by competitors who finish an Ironman race — on his leg as a mark of his accomplishments and a reminder of the challenges ahead.
"It's a painful addiction to test yourself. I ask myself some days, Why do I do this?" Ross said. "I have two kids, and I want them to see that I am busy and if you really want something, you have to work for it."
Ross will be joined on the Tahoe course by fellow Tracy residents Chad Wood and Jamie Ulloa. Eldred Fountain and Ron Harvey, both of Tracy, are also among the registered racers.
The Ironman is a 140.6-mile triathlon. It begins with a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike race, and concludes with a full marathon, 26.2 miles.
Competitors begin at 7 a.m. and have until a second before midnight to finish the course or be disqualified.
The inaugural Ironman Lake Tahoe — the first full-distance Ironman event in California since 2001 — will send the swimmers into Lake Tahoe at the Kings Beach State Recreation Area. When they emerge, they will bike a circuit of 21/3 laps, including a trip up to the 7,200-foot Brockway Summit. The race ends with the run looping twice along the Truckee River bike path from Squaw Valley to Tahoe City.
Race organizers said about 2,700 athletes are signed up to participate.
Ulloa, 43, has been training for the race — her first full Ironman competition — since January.
"It's the ultimate challenge," she said. "When I first thought about this, I wondered, Will I finish this?"
Ulloa also said the race is inspirational for her family. She said her children often join her for training rides or laps in the pool.
She has competed in several half-Ironman races — 70.3 miles each — and a marathon to get ready for Sunday's competition.
"It gave me a goal to work for. When you find something you really enjoy, you don't have to do the training, you want to do it," Ulloa said. "I look forward to every single day and the training — you have to find your passion."
Ulloa spends as much as 16 hours a week training, putting in time on the treadmill, swimming laps and taking long bike rides. The owners of Eagal Lakes east of Tracy also offered the local athletes access to their manmade water ski course to practice open-water swimming.
Wood, 40, has been training for about a year for his second Ironman race. He acknowledges that there are many hard moments ahead but said he enjoys the calm he feels on the course.
"It's a personal challenge, dealing with monologue in my head," Wood said. "You feel the stress melt away — each mile you go, it falls away."
He said it's worth the 15 hours he spends training a week.
"It's a life change. Once you do it, you have a healthier lifestyle," Wood said. "The whole process of getting there makes you a better person."
Ironman competitors race against the clock, but competition with other racers does come into play along the course.
Wood said he expects to encounter racers who have stopped or dropped out along the course and have to stay focused on moving on.
Ross, the three-time Ironman, said there are times when doubt creeps into a racer's mind along with pain and fatigue.
"The mental part — the mental battles are the hardest part," he said. "It's an individual sport, but then there is always competition. It's truly about what you can do and what you can shut your mind down and do."
Ulloa said she expected Tahoe's altitude — about 6,225 feet at lake level — to be a factor, but not the hardest part of the race.
"It's altitude versus attitude. The race is 90 percent mental. If you don't have your mental game ready, you won't do well," she said. "There are times when your mind is running 100 miles an hour and you just say, Shut up."
Family and friends can monitor each racer's progress electronically on the race website, www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman/lake-tahoe.

We happily put our sweet tooth to work so you can relax and luxuriate in each taste of Spain's sublime cocoa. This collection offers six delectable chocolate experiences for you to enjoy, packed in a cloth gift bag.
We've never enjoyed almonds as much as these caramelized Marcona almonds dipped in dark chocolate praline and dusted with cocoa powder.

Rabitos Royale are a showstopper. Bring out these chocolate-infused figs after dinner, and watch as your guests revel in each bite! Raquel and Señador Valero are the masterminds behind this divine confection. After plucking tender young figs from local groves, they fill each fruit with dark chocolate brandy mousse, and dip them in dark chocolate.
Chocolate-hazelnut Nocilla spread is a breakfast classic in Spain, and is the perfect way to dress up your morning toast.
Chocolate a la taza is a thick, rich hot chocolate by Blanxart, melts perfectly for dipping fresh churros. This creamy, decadent drink is a breakfast favorite across Spain.
Naranja con chocolate are another delectable treat. Fresh Valencian orange wedges are candied in sugar syrup and dipped in dark chocolate for the perfect tangy yet sweet balance.
And finally, we've included an extra large Crujiente bar, made with milk chocolate and puffed rice by the master confectioners at 1880.
We have a weakness for these Spanish confections, and are thrilled to share them with you! They're the perfect gift for anyone with a fondness for sweets, as well as a festive housewarming present.

I made these last year to give neighbors at Christmas. Since than I have made them several times. They are such a big hit that folks are still asking me for the recipe. I keep these on hand now and use them as snacks, with brie cheese and crackers, in chocolate chip cookie recipes, brownie recipes and more. The only change I make to the recipe is that I add 3 cups of pecans instead of 2 cups. Excellent!

spiritual Principles as per human studies
THese principles are gathered from subjects under deep hypnotise.THey come from the other side or life between life.THe same ness of people reporting what they saw turned a doctor who didn't believe into a believer.
1. The soul cannot defined or measured because it has no limits that are perceived about its divine creation.The most consistent reports of the souls demonstrated essence is that it represents intelligent energy that is immortal and manifested by specific vibrational waves of light and color.
All human beings have one soul that remains attached to its chosen physical body until death.Souls do play a part in the selection of their of there next physical body during cycles of reincarnation.The soul typically joins its physical body after conception between the fourth and birth.
When the birth is determinated early.Its the soul the cancels this body.It happens often the entitiy wanting to go back and chose another body for some reason.
3. attachment
Each soul has a unique immortal character.When conjoined with a human brain, this ego character is melded with the emotional temperament, or human ego,of that body to produce a single but temporary personality for one lifetime.This is what is meant by the duality of our mind.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A New Hanover County man faces drug charges after authorities reportedly bought drugs from him and later found him to be in possession of heroin, a weapon and more.
According to a spokesperson with the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office, authorities executed a search warrant at 31-year-old Antonio Antwan Bradley's home Monday, in the 800 block of Meares Street after detectives bought drugs from Bradley.
At the home, they discovered 138 bags of heroin, digital scales and a .40 caliber handgun.
Bradley was subsequently charged with trafficking in heroin, possession of firearm by felon, possession with intent to sell/deliver heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia, and maintaining a home or dwelling for drugs.
The heroin bags were stamped with red stars, and had a street value of more than $2,500.
Bradley remains in jail under a $100,000 bond.

Ryan Pittman's Touching Testimony
"We all need God". Truer words were never spoken.
"We all need God" The most inspiring word I'v had this year.
I have a 30 yr old son by the name of Jimmy. Jimmy has a closed head injury. He recieved this closed head injury when he was about 3yrs old. He is mentally challenged today because of this. Jimmy knows JESUS and knows that GOD is in controll. GOD bless you Ryan. Always look forward and never ever look back.
Thankyou Ryan! My heart is smiling right now for this is such a blessing to hear and know! That God is indeed great and you are one of his beautiful servants!

Atlanta business owners are frustrated over a problem with renewing licenses online. The city has asked people to use an online form to renew their business license, but owners say that form doesn't work. "When I input the password and the information that was required and it was saying the account was locked and couldn't renew online," said Kristi Anderson.The deadline to apply for a license renewal was Feb. 15. Those that didn't renew faced a fine of $500. The problem led to a long line of business owners at City Hall on Friday, hoping to avoid the penalty.Those in line said the lines have been long all week. "It's a joke. I have been trying for a month to renew my business and then I'm starting up a new business and the process is a joke," said Michael Morris. "Coming here, there is nothing but lines. It's 'go to this floor, go to that floor, you have to get this notarized here.' Nothing is central."Morris said that he wasted four hours in line. "If I could send the mayor a bill, I sure would," Morris.Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed's office did not respond to a request for comment.Officials said that the late penalty would be waived due to the problem. Business owners will be able to renew on Monday without paying the fine.

AIN received nearly two dozen comments to an AINSafety story reporting that some pilots who had been tested by FAA designated pilot examiner (DPE), Edward Lane, would need to be re-examined to determine their competency. At the time, the reasons for the agency's concern about this DPE were not made entirely clear.
Designated Pilot Examiner
Pilots who received certificates from a certain designated pilot examiner (DPE) in Nevada may need to be reexamined. The FAA released Notice 8900.194 on July 13 to provide guidance to administration inspectors who may need to reexamine pilots whose certificates were approved by Edward Lane of Las Vegas.
In yet another case of local interpretation of federal regulations, at the Long Beach, Calif., Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) FAA inspectors have decided that contract pilots cannot fly for different Part 135 operators without undergoing full initial training on each aircraft that they fly.
Five years after the February 2005 Challenger overrun at Teterboro–one of the most notorious accidents in business aviation history–the FAA has again suspended the charter operating certificate of one of the companies peripherally involved, Darby Aviation of Sheffield, Ala.
The FAA designated Tom Norton as one of only two Eclipse 500 pilot examiners in the world, allowing Sarasota, Fla.-based Norton Aviation to offer in-aircraft type-rating training, in addition to the FAA type rating checkride. Pilots can choose between conducting the training and FAA checkride at any location in their own aircraft or using Norton Aviation's Eclipse 500.
What does it really take to start a Part 135 operation? Talking with pilots reveals confusion and intimidation about the requirements. One is sure to hear stories about the mountains of paperwork and inviting the "devil in your bed" by asking the FAA to oversee your operation.
The inspector general of the DOT has recommended that the FAA take disciplinary action against two Kansas City FSDO officials whose "unwarranted" actions against the pilot of a Cessna CitationJet may have contributed to his fatal crash more than three years ago.
Suppose your aviation medical examiner (AME) gives you the little piece of paper that proclaims to the FAA that you are fit to fly, but the paperwork never reaches the agency's Aeromedical Certification Branch in Oklahoma City. Are you legal? Are you liable? While certainly not routine, the situation has cropped up more often than one might think.
"November 12345, ATC would like you to call this number..." Pulse picking up yet? Patrick Bailey, a Santa Monica, Calif. attorney, recently prepared a presentation on "What to do if the FAA calls or writes," and for pilots it makes sobering reading.
While generally praising the FAA's system of designated examiners and representatives, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report said that the agency has not ensured that its oversight process for designees is consistent among its field offices.

On Friday, June 14th at noon, the Omaha Tribe and Blackbird Bend Corporation will be hosting a "Final Beam Signing Ceremony" at the construction site of their new Blackbird Bend Casino, located just 4 miles west of Onawa, Iowa.
The framework is nearly complete, and erection of the final beam is a major turning point in the construction of the building.
The Tribal Council and the Blackbird Bend Board of Directors, along with all Omaha tribal members, have been invited to sign the last steel beam to be erected. A luncheon will follow the cedar ceremony, which is open to the public.
The new casino is targeted to open by Valentine's Day 2014 and will feature over 400 slot machines, live table games, and a full service restaurant. Blackbird Bend Corporation is currently operating a smaller temporary casino in what used to be the restaurant of the former Casino Omaha building, which was damaged by the flooding of the Missouri River in June 2011.

AUSTIN >> El Paso's hottest race — House District 76 — is headed to a May 27 runoff, and the tightest contest was for second place.
Challenger Cesar Blanco maintained a comfortable lead through the night Tuesday, while former Rep. Norma Chávez edged out incumbent Rep. Naomi Gonzalez by 160 votes.
Blanco received 44 percent of the vote, while former Rep. Norma Chávez got 29 percent and incumbent Rep. Naomi Gonzalez received 27 percent.
Blanco got 3,748 votes compared with Chavez, who received 2495, and Gonzalez, 2,335, according to unofficial final results.
With nobody getting more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers go on to the runoff.
Gregory Rocha, a political scientist at the University of Texas at El Paso, said the runoff is good news for Blanco, the 37-year-old former chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine.
Blanco's biggest challenge was to introduce himself to voters. And in a race against a current and a former state representative, he led by 15 percentage points.
"He looks pretty good right now," Rocha said.
It also would mean that Blanco, a first-time candidate, will have almost three more months to introduce himself to voters in the 76th District.
Blanco said he has relentlessly walked the district, knocked on doors and introduced himself to voters. He also has held a series of "Café con Cesar" events in which he sat in residents' living rooms and answered their questions.
As he did, Blanco said, residents told him they wanted to turn the page on embarrassing incidents and personality conflicts among their legislators.
He was referring to Gonzalez' DWI arrest in Austin last year and Chávez' reputation for confrontations in the House when she represented District 76 from 1996 until Gonzalez defeated her in 2010.

The 76th District runs mostly south of Interstate 10 from the eastern edge of Downtown to the western edge of Socorro. It includes some of El Paso's poorest neighborhoods.
Chávez, 53, presented herself to voters as an older, wiser, mellower stateswoman — and she ran a campaign devoid of the blowups that marked her losing effort in 2010.
"Six months ago, no one thought I had a chance," Chávez said. "Now we are in a position to go forward in the campaign."
Her campaign was impressive — she funded it with a $90,000 loan and a single fundraiser. That meant she didn't have the TV ads and direct mail that her opponents did.
But Chávez is only beginning to figure out how she'll compete against an effort by Blanco that's sure to be well funded.
"I'm a grassroots, farmworker organizer," she said of her approach.
Gonzalez, a 35-year-old attorney with a reputation for hard work, received praise from her colleagues in the House, but that did not translate into success on Tuesday.

Ryan Kappy's Top 10 Albums of 2011
Posted by Ryan Kappy on 12/26 at 09:28 PM
Music for the year 2011 was one for the ages. I followed releases from about 50 bands in both the major and independent labels, and genres from alternative rock to metalcore. But there were a select few albums that I truly became in awe of based on the flow and overall sound of the album. Here is my top ten list of my favorite albums of 2011.
10) Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows – D.R.U.G.S.
This record had the ultimate super group that Craig Owens (ex-Chiodos) had to offer as he picked up Matt Good (ex-From First To Last), Nick Martin (ex-Underminded), Adam Russell (Story of the Year), and Aaron Stern (ex-Matchbook Romance). It was the debut album for this line-up that gave you the right amount of rock from each member. It is a promising record filled with breakdowns and sappy choruses that will have you singing with every listen.
Listen: 'Graveyard Dancing'
9) Thrice – Major/Minor
Thrice has been a staple in the alternative/post-hardcore scene, putting out records that have had a major influence on the genre. After producing different types of records with an emphasis on keyboards, the band put out Major/Minor focusing mainly on guitar-based progressions that still has their signature sound. The band may have recently announced their hiatus but this record proves that they still have the talent and wit to put out a memorable release.
Listen: 'Promises'
8) Foo Fighters – Wasting Light
Where do I start on this album? Well first off, this is the band that has revolutionized alternative rock with hits that have spawned millions of record sales. But this record is much different. It was recorded on just analog tape without any use of computers. What you hear, then, is pure recordings of Dave Grohl & Co. showing off their musicianship in the rawest sound possible in our digital age. This record also has Grammy nominations and has gone Platinum overseas. It still has a place in the mainstream airwaves as one of the only real rock n' roll albums of note.
Listen: 'Rope'
7) Asking Alexandria – Reckless & Relentless
At first, I did not like this band and I thought they were just another one of those metalcore bands just trying to fit into the independent music scene. But it was at this past Warped Tour where I saw them play live and saw an attitude of not caring who gets in their way. All they want to do is rock every person's socks off. I gave this album a listen and I instantly felt one with the band and its attitude. Filled with heavy breakdowns, demonic symphonies, and a sprinkle of 80s metal, Asking Alexandria put out Reckless & Relentless in order to show the world they want to be the biggest band in the world. It was a huge success in the U.S. and landed a supporting role for a recent Guns N' Roses' tour.
Listen: 'To The Stage'
6) New Found Glory – Radiosurgery
New Found Glory has been deemed a pioneer of pop punk. They put out records that have influenced many bands of a variety of genres. These records have all reflected what the band had been going through at the time of their release. This record, in particular, is special. It's a concept record of a typical breakup of a relationship. Each song shows a progression of the story and how to handle certain situations. It has the "copywritten" sound of New Found Glory filled with poppy choruses and chugging breakdowns that tend to show that the band is still fresh after all these years.
Listen: 'Anthem For the Unwanted'
5) I Am The Avalanche – Avalanche United
Avalanche United is a straight up punk rock record. Frontman Vinnie Caruana (ex-The Movielife) has something to say after six years with record label troubles and other hardships to get this record out. The album is full of punk riffs and pounding drums with lyrics about everyday life in that certain place you live in (in the band's case, Brooklyn). The record has had high praise from numerous musical critics and it definitely receives high praise from me.
Listen: 'Brooklyn Dodgers'
4) Death Cab For Cutie – Codes and Keyes
Ben Gibbard & Co. know how to create music that can either ease you to sleep at night or make for a pleasant drive through your town. No matter what the occasion may be, the band can always make an indie playlist that much better with their unique style of sound. This time around, they created a record with heavy use of keyboards and not much guitar. This concept worked for the album as it created a whole different sound that the band has never explored. The record is definitely the best indie release of this year and Ben Gibbard still has one of the most distinctive voices of all time.
Listen: 'You Are A Tourist'
3) Blink 182 – Neighborhoods
After five years on indefinite hiatus, a plane crash, reunion tour, and endless hours of writing and recording new tracks, a Blink-182 record has surfaced. The three men - Tom DeLonge (guitar), Mark Hoppus (bass), and Travis Barker (drums) - had changed the stage of mainstream music with their raunchy lyrics and fun sound. But now the band has put out a record that shows a much deeper Blink that no one was expecting on this release. The record has mature subjects about love and death filled with effect-driven guitars and pounding drums. Even with this newer sound, it still brought me back to the good old days of the band playing their signature pop punk music. It shows that a band whose members despised each other at one point can come back together and create a record fresher than ever.
Listen: 'Up All Night'
2) Bayside – Killing Time
The guys from Long Island, NY were somewhat in the dark for three years in not telling anyone what they have been doing. It all paid off in the end when they released this record. Produced by the renowned Gil Norton, the album is filled with heavier riffs than the band normally plays, and lyrics that I feel are the best the band has written. Another aspect to consider is the amount of face melting solos that will have you playing air guitar. Overall, the record has the traditional Bayside sound that created a cult following, but with a new punk style. This album has helped the band break into an international audience that keeps growing every day.
Listen: 'Already Gone'
1) The Story So Far – Under Soil & Dirt
The reason why this is my number one album of the year for 2011 is because of the attitude of the band and how they have come so far since their debut in the independent scene. The record itself can be put on repeat over and over where every listen would just get better. Musically, the record shows me that I still have an undying love for pop punk. Every element I ever wanted in an album is in this: sweet guitar riffs, complex drumming patterns, and vocals that are in your face but that have you yelling them right back. The record shows that this band has a passion for what they do and they do not care what genre they are put into. This is a band that just wants to record music and play shows so that someone can notice them and spread the word. 2012 should be a promising year for the band.
Listen: 'Quicksand'
And there you have it, my top 10 list of 2011. Even though I may have missed a couple of albums (and you may disagree with my selection), I feel this list shows the styles of music that I listen to everyday. I hope you will pick these albums up, or at least listen to some of the songs because you never know if you will find your next favorite band off these records.
Honorable Mentions:
La Dispute - Widlife
Thursday – No Devolucion
Polar Bear Club – Clash Battle Guilt Pride
The Swellers – Good For Me
Yellowcard – When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes

Bass Guitar, Harmonica, Marimba, Music Performance, Music Theory, Percussion, Piano, Songwriting, Ukulele
I understand that there are many desires a pupil can have about learning music, especially towards the practicality of the modern world and I hope to gear the student towards that. I have worked with children for almost a decade so I am comfortable with youth education. My experience with working with children is mostly with the Boy Scouts of America since I was 14. From teaching scouts about nature, to directing shooting ranges as an NRA Rifle Safety Officer, to eventually managing a camp. As a young adult who has just finished their music degree from collage and working to further my education, I can understand the process of learning a musical instrument and guide the student on a smoother path to their goals.
*** Lesson Details ***
When taking lessons with me, you can expect for a teacher who listens to the desires of his or her student. I believe music theory and technique is essential to learning an instrument, but it can be rough and boring so I spend a good portion of the lesson working with the student towards their goals. This curriculum brings the most important motivation in learning an instrument, which is achieving improvement while having fun. After 3 months, an adult student should have the ability to read music and play chords so they may learn the songs they love and I can help them along. With a child my expectations are different because in my experience most youth under the age of 9 have not established a recognition for the music around them. To compensate for a child I spend a portion of the lesson introducing different styles of music such as classical, jazz, rock, and world. I hope not only to increase the pupil's interest towards their instrument but into music and art in general. My overall goal with a long term student is to understand the basics of technique, reading music, and understanding theory. Once past there I make a point to make the intermediate student want to practice by applying basic skills learned at the beginner level and bring them into songwriting, improvisation, and learning a their favorite radio songs or show tunes.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Weighted and unweighted electric pianos, harmonicas, marimba, kazoos, guitars, amplifiers, ukulele, drums, other string instruments, my library of music and method books, and just a great room of musical fun. There is a cat in this home if you have allergies.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide the music books, worksheets, amplifiers, bass guitars, pencils and paper.
*** Specialties ***
For Piano I stick to Faber's teaching for youth beginner and than I use Ferdinand Breyer's method for intermediate. My main style of playing that i received in education is mostly in jazz and improvisation. I like to focus of my teaching of music in the genres of jazz, classical, pop, rock, and blues.
Acting, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Percussion, Piano, Singing, Songwriting, Speaking Voice
Hello all! I am Emily F., a recent graduate of Grove City College with a degree in Music Education. While in school I majored in Percussion and Voice and spent the majority of my time performing and gaining experience. I am currently an elementary music teacher with Prince George's County Schools. I have had years of lessons myself and have taught many students as well. As a vocalist, I can teach you how to sing anything from Top 40 hits to Broadway numbers to Operatic Arias. I will help you gain confidence as a performer and vocal strength. I am also prepared to teach beginning piano lessons to help you learn to accompany yourself and others. For percussion lessons, I have years of experience as a principal percussionist in my College's band and orchestra and would love to help you learn how to be a classically trained percussionist, not a drummer. Overall, I offer experience, knowledge, and a chance to get out of your shell and onto a stage.
*** Lesson Details ***
As a teacher, I strive to create an environment that is student centered. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible when we begin a lesson so that you can do your best. Lessons with me will be fairly laid back, but only if I see you giving 100%. My goal is to create self-motivated learners at any age. As far as curriculum goes, I will work off of what you want to learn and what books you may already have. I can suggest books for almost any genre of voice, basic piano books, and I know the best beginning percussion books out there. Regardless of genre or instrument, after a few months with me you will be a confident performer. I want all of my students to not only be trained on their instrument, but on showing their talent to the world.

I have a keyboard that I can bring if necessary. I would expect students to bring their own percussion instruments.
*** Specialties ***
I have a great deal of experience auditioning for plays and musicals and got many parts in high school in college. I have had years of experience performing in both vocal and instrumental groups. Vocally, I am comfortable teaching Broadway, pop, or classical vocal styles. In the percussion field, I specialize in mallet instruments, but I am comfortable teaching auxiliary and snare as well.
Bass Guitar, Blues Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting
I have been playing guitar and bass for over 35 years and traveled the world playing concerts in Clubs and Stadiums. My band ESTUS was signed to Columbia Records by Clive Davis, I played with the Eddie Kirkland Blues Band, formed Fat City in Woodstock NY, and played toured nationally with Quicksilver Messenger Service. Currently I play in RSB, the Rick Sickmen Band, and teach at the School of Rock in Vienna. I want to share my knowledge and extensive experience with students to 'play it forward' while having fun.
*** Lesson Details ***
From beginners to experienced players everyone has their own goals and style of learning. I will try to have my students playing songs as soon as possible, in the style (rock, blues, country) that they want, while teaching some basic music theory to build on. My studio is fully equipped with instruments, amps, recording equipment, drums and PA system.
*** Studio Equipment ***
guitars, amps, drums, 16 track recorder, soup to nuts
*** Specialties ***
Rock (all kinds), Blues, Pop, Country, ear training.
