In todays episode the green scientist, a natural scientist, explains he will experience a delay in publications as he obtains credibility as a scientist in University School. In this episode we explain that small businesses can benefit as an individual by COVID-19 introducing and reimforcing the free services available in United States, the place with the highest education in the world! Lifeline also known as ObamaPhone is a service for individuals that need a phone without having the financial requirements to maintain a monthly phone bill. Apply FAFSA for a chance at a Pell grant to cover school expenses. With introduction of medical marijuana to combat apparent opiod use from social anxiety uncovered in the SmartMusic playlist using Neuroscience many junior colleges have free school services. After expenses are paid the remainder of the Pell grant returns to student for other school expenses, like a computer, more discussed in upcoming blog post. Wordpress referral discount code can be found in our guest blogging page: https://naturesuprise.wordpress.com/guest-blogging-with-natures-uprise/. Now that machine learning has impacted small businesses it will be less obvious to predictively trace the green scientist as he maneuvers and reintroduces the internet, Department of defense and department of education as he plans to go into more plans with grant writing. Not to be confused with Pell grant, which is more FAFSA related.

Teaching music virtually is something you may have never thought you would be doing. It's a learning curve and comes with it's own unique challenges, especially if it's out of your comfort zone. With COVID-19, so many teachers became virtual teachers all of a sudden. I asked my friend Michelle Rose to come on the podcast to talk about her experience with virtual teaching so that you can get the help and guidance you need to help you move forward this school year. She also talks about self care and offers a unique perspective that I know you'll get a lot from. Michelle Rose teaches middle & high school music at North Carolina Virtual Academy. She also directs the after school virtual band and choir. Michelle holds a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education and Performance (flute) from Elon University and is currently pursuing a Master's in Music Education from The University of North Carolina, Greensboro. She is a teacher-author and blogger at themusicalrose.com. Michelle has been a presenter at several conferences and has been a guest speaker for pre-service music teachers at colleges across the country. In her free time, she enjoys baking, sewing, and going on walks with her dog Tovy (short for Beethoven). You can connect with her on Instagram @the_musical_rose or through her website themusicalrose.com Links mentioned in the episode: How to create a virtual ensemble using SmartMusic and GarageBand: https://youtu.be/LKcDXTubAiM How to play Doggie, Doggie via Zoom for elementary music teachers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVOWmfex2ME I'd love for you to leave a rating and a review of the podcast on I-tunes, be sure to share the podcast with any music teacher friends who would find it helpful and be sure to tag me on Instagram or Facebook.

I know exactly how busy you are right now with the holiday season upon us. Which is why this episode is short, sweet, and to the point. We're going to talk about some top tips for encouraging your students to practice over the holiday breaks. SmartMusic is one great tool, and to help me come up with even more ideas for how to encourage students to have fun practicing over the break, I turned to two resources: Lou Ann Pope, education specialist for Tonara, and some of our band director friends from Facebook.

This video will show you how to get started using Smartmusic 2012

TuneButton is a start-up organization whose vision is to prevent the deterioration of music education, by creating the finest music education software for students learning to play music. TuneButton will accelerate learning and bridge what is taught in the classroom with what is learned through practice outside of the classroom. TuneButton will teach theory, ear-training, sight reading, improvisation, instrument maintenance, composition, music appreciation, and notation. TuneButton develops the whole person and expands cognitive development. Music is considered a fundamental component of human culture and behavior. We want to preserve and strengthen music education. The Market: TuneButton can be used by all musicians. In the U.S. there are over 250,000 private music instructors, over 100,000 elementary and secondary schools in which about 50% of students study music, and over 4,000 colleges with over 14MM students attending, many of whom are engaged in music. The Product: TuneButton teaches music from the most basic level to highly advanced levels. In order to establish and maintain recurring revenue streams, TuneButton will be a Software as a Service (SaaS). This enables us to leverage economies of scale. An SaaS model eliminates version obsolescence and opportunities for piracy. TuneButton is unique. It offers video-music lessons taught by real teachers. With TuneButton’s Étude Module, the student can play along with. This reinforces concepts learned from video-music lessons. Video-music lessons start at a basic level and advance in difficulty as students demonstrate understanding. TuneButton is able to assess a student’s performance. Notes played incorrectly will be highlighted for review. A more advanced module features recordings of real-instrument parts which must be ‘unlocked. Real-instrument recordings are found in the Maestro Module. Real-instrument recordings obtained through contracts with music teachers will be mutually beneficial; it will be the base of our Media Box and will provide exposure for music instructors. Marketing and Sales: TuneButton will leverage search and social media to increase Internet presence. We will achieve sales through cold calls, product test-sites, live product demos, and mass emailing. Competition: MakeMusic’s Finale and SmartMusic, and Apple’s GarageBand do not offer interrelated learning through instructional video-music lessons and simulations with software instruments or real instrument recordings at fundamental and advanced levels. We differentiate by offering a cohesive learning package. Milestones: 6 Month - Product Release Version Beta; 9 Months - Launch rolling 3 month tests with 4 to 6 test sites; 1 Year - Product Release Version 1.0, Make first sale. Financials: We expect sales to generate revenues of $576,000 in Year 2, over $1MM in Year 3, and over $5MM in Year 5. The Future: We envision TuneButton growing toward a social networking platform from which musical instruments, hardware, and private instruction are sold. We will implement a proprietary advertising revenue model, and create the world’s largest music education social networking phenomenon.

LLE Flutes recorded this tune with SmartMusic 1/23/08

The 4th grade Luther Lee clarinet class used a new interactive software called SmartMusic. Some children were given a disk to bring home last week. This is a 3 month FREE subscription. When the 3 months end, you may pay to continue the subscription. Please go to Add/Remove in PC and Applications in Mac and delete if discontinuing. It is a large program and takes up a lot of hardrive space. The flute, clarinet and saxophone classes used this application during lesson time on Wednesday, November 21, 2007. You must have a microphone (internal or external) and speakers in order to use the interactive features. Please ask your child how they like the program. This is an A+ from me!
