My Other Life
As I write this, Sheryl is in the studio with one of her students. She has a few private students who study voice and guitar with her. She doesn’t advertise for students, but every now and then someone will ask if she teaches privately, and if she has an opening in her schedule and the prospective student is serious about learning, she’ll work with them.
Well, I haven’t written about this here, but I have a few private students as well. In addition, I have hundreds of “public” students.
Besides being the PSG (Project Studio Guy) I am also the KTTK guy.
KTTK stands for “Keys to the Keyboard,” the overall name I use for my keyboard classes. A few times a month, I teach groups of students how to play by ear, and how to play the piano (or keyboard) using the “popular”, chord-based approach. This is done in a 3-hour workshop format.
The classes, which are held at various colleges and recreation centers throughout Florida, range in size from 10 to 50, and the students range in age from 10 to 90!
It’s a great way to get out of the studio, meet new people, and share the joy of making music.
For a while, I tried to keep two blogs going. The other blog is still up, and you can find it at http://www.keystothekeyboard.com, but I have decided to concentrate my writing efforts on this blog alone, and incorporate my experiences as a teacher as well.
