Orchestras, camps, master classes, lessons, classes: There are more and more options for live, truly interactive online music and language learning going on here at Lessonface, and we have to salute the teachers who are coming up with their own concepts, as well as those who are rolling with ours and making them their own!
In this recent unprecedented time, we on team Lessonface have been more proud than ever of the phenomenal teacher community here, who have been taking on wave after wave of new students with their usual grace, style, and professionalism, not to mention teaching acumen.
A huge bravo to all of the excellent performers in last night's third annual Spring Recital, our biggest and I daresay our best one yet! We heard from guitarists, violinists, vocalists, ukulele players, flutists, songwriters, and pianists. It's really inspiring to see and hear the results of the students' and teachers' hard work, especially in those students we have been seeing for multiple recitals over the years!
Dorothy Parker once said “I hate writing, I love having written.” Writing can be difficult for many reasons, but one of the most common inhibitors is trouble focusing. There is a reason the old cliche of the novelist living in the woods exists. But the truth is, the optimal setting and conditions for writing are different for everyone. Some writers prefer absolute silence (try earplugs if this is you and you live in a noisy apartment building or neighborhood), while others listen to music or relaxing soundscapes as they write.
