How much should I charge for music lessons?
Charge more depending on your scholastics Study at university=EXTREMELY expensive. Study for a multitude years=can raise the price My teacher was the 2nd one, charged $15/half hr I would do minimum wage, which was around 8.25... Do whatever minimum wage is in your area. Do it for a couple of years, and then you can raise your prices; don't go over $15/half hr; you're not qualified. You shouldn't be teaching unless you have AT LEAST grade8. If you have your ARCT or Performers RCT, then you can start off a bit higher than minimum. ALSO, keep in mind that it's extremely difficult to build your music base, since it's typically built by rep; keep in mind you may not have more than a couple of students for your first year. Be sure to keep your students loving the lessons and coming back for more; first year students are not usually that motivated to 'study hard'. You could also consider tutoring your fellow highschool flutists.
How long should walk up music be?
For hitters it's very short because they only play it as you walk from the on deck circle to the batters box. For pitchers it could be long because they run in from the outfield and get warm up pitches while the song is playing.
What is the best way to learn music theory, and how long should it take?
“What is the best way to learn music theory, and how long should it take?”(A2A) If you aren’t enrolled in a course, look at various texts, and settle on the one that explains it in a way that makes the most sense to you. For jazz theory, I like Levine’s Jazz Theory Book. But I also take bits from other sources.Of course, as others have wrote, you also need to apply the theory using a keyboard (ideally) in order to hear what intervals, cadences, tension (etc.) sounds like. I recommend having a keyboard right at hand for every stage of the process.How long should it take? That depends on how far you want to go, but maybe, full-time … two years (theory only) to get to the level of a B.Mus? Maybe four years? I don’t know.Maybe you should look here for more information: Courses | The Royal Conservatory of Music
How far (how many blocks) is Radio City Music Hall from Penn Station?
The question says she's going from Penn Station to Radio City Music Hall...She ONLY wants to go places that are within WALKING distance of Radio City Music Hall, so she will NOT go to F.A.O. Schwartz if it is far from Radio City, or Macy's for that matter either! IF Rockefeller Center is close to Radio City, then she WILL go there...They're not getting to Penn Station until after 5 PM & the show at Radio City starts at 8 PM, they'll have to catch some dinner (her daughter's picky so it may just be fast food, expecially if she can find a Wendy's, or maybe a KFC) & get to Radio City, I hear they tell you to be there 1/2 an hour early because they search bags & pocketbooks & for seating, I guess. She ONLY wants to take a taxi from Penn Station TO Radio City & back again. So they won't have TOO much time to do touristy things before the show. After the show it'll start getting late so they'll want to ehad back to Penn Stateion, the trip back will be like an hour, hour & a half...
How many months or years will it take me to learn music theory and master it?
This question is too full of assumptions and loaded words to answer in one sentence ;). But let me tackle it one by one…How many months or years it will take depends on your willingness to stick with it. Some people learn a completely new language in 3 months, others need 20 years to learn. If you practice for a few hours a day you will most likely be faster than if you only engage in music theory once a month.A positive effect on the time it takes has the fact, whether you make music every day. If you’re a musician playing concerts every week or at least rehearsing with your band once a week, you will expose yourself to many opportunities for applying your music theory skills or for generating new questions. Also, listening to a lot of diverse music will help you on that journey.Your question implies that “mastering” music theory would be a project hat is finished someday. You will never be “finished” with learning music theory. The real masters are those who know so much that they recognize they know nothing. However, if by “master” you mean passing a certain test or being able to play through a jazz session with a few musicians, it is possible to “finish” it. In that case the time it takes you depends on the “test” you picked.So what should you do?I would simply go ahead and define my initial goal so small, that I can achieve it in a few easy steps. For example, watch my video on the “backdoor progression” and (depending on your current level) set the goal of a) understanding the language used b) understanding the concepts mentioned c) find the progression in songs you like d) write a song with this progression or use one of the techniques on your next gig. Once you achieved that, tackle the next video, concept or song. Jump in anywhere – a progression, a song, a music theory concept you like – and discover music theory bit by bit from your own personal point of view!
How can I take my music production to the next level?
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” - Ira Glass
How long does it take to be able to sight read piano sheet music?
How long did it take you to learn to sight-read words - like the words you are reading on my answer? You can read them immediately and fluently, can't you? You don't have to follow them with your finger or try to think of how you pronounce each letter and then go through the possibilities. NOW - how long did it take you to learn how to read words?Music is a language, just like your own native language (in fact, it IS your native language - you just have to learn how to interpret the symbols, until they are easier and easier and easier to do.To learn to read? Years. Years of mom and dad reading books to you, while you saw the letters upside-down or sideways. Years of trying to figure out what the comics or the newspaper articles said, or a baseball box score. You can speed up the process by:Reading lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots - anything you can get your hands on.Composing. Writing music gives you a huge advantage in reading.Get in situations that force you to lern to read quickly, like piano accompanying (playing the piano for a friend who sings).Quit trying to be perfect when you read -- this is the important thing -- KEEP GOING and do not stop when you make a mistake. Go back and fix it later, if you want to be so perfect. Perfectionism kills sight-reading, and kills a lot of musicianship in the process.Try to be perfect in your reading - just don't expect to be. But aim high - don't be careless or sloppy when you read.
Wishing to play harmonica adequately, how long should it take?
If you're going to use the harmonica the way Bob Dylan does, please do us all a favor and just *don't*. The only sound in this universe more grating that Dylan's singing is his harmonica playing. Do yourself a favor and at least pick yourself a better role model to emulate! In any case, this is not a classical music question, and should be asked in a more appropriate forum. However, I do play a little harmonica (as well as guitar), and I would say that, to just play simple tunes, it's pretty easy and you can pick it up pretty quickly (days). Of course, if you wanted to play really well (say, John Popper of Blues Traveller), that obviously takes a long time, but you've already expressed no ambitions to go that far.
