Tips for Parents How to Help Your Child Prepare for an Audition
Tips for Parents How to Help Your Child Prepare for an Audition Suzy S. Parents, are your kids heading off to an audition? You play a big role in their success! Youve probably offered tons of support along the way, but how else can you help your child learn how to prepare for an audition? Read on for some helpful advice from Nashville online voice teacher Heather E.: Whether itâs for their elementary school or for a college scholarship, your kid is going to be nervous. There arenât many other times in life when we are as totally and completely vulnerable as during an audition. If you arenât sure how to support your kids through it, here are some tips for how to prepare for an audition: Consider All Possibilities One of the scariest parts of an audition for me is the fact that I donât know what to expect. Will it be one judge, or five? Will there be an accompanist? Will we be in a classroom-type room or an auditorium? Will they ask me any questions, or will I just sing and leave?. and so on. You can see how out of control this could become. So, talk about it with your child. Ask them how they will adapt to different situations, and talk through different possibilities. This will help them feel more confident, no matter what gets thrown at them. Have a Routine They should do the same thing every time before they go on stage for an audition. Itâs easy to get overwhelmed with nervousness, or start to have the wrong attitude (like, âlets just get this over with!â) and then regret it once you finish the audition. If your child has a routine to get them focused and in the right mindset as they prepare for an audition, Iâm certain it will be better. I have a phrase that I say to myself (in my head!) right before I start to sing at an audition. It helps calm me and remind me that this is my shot and I need to be in the moment, doing my best. Practice Together! It seems obvious to say it, but Iâll say it anyway: practice with your kid whenever you can. They may get annoyed with you, but when they get to that audition and they know their piece backwards and forwards, they will be grateful. A teacher or judge can always tell if youâve been singing the song for weeks, or if you tried to cram it in the last few days or hours. Kids have a natural confidence when they are sure they know what they are doing, and the judges will see it for sure. Be Overprepared Your accompanist lost the music? No problem, youâve got an extra. Your accompanist forgot her piano? No problem, you have a pitchpipe. Your son decided to use his shirt as a napkin for his Cheeto fingers? No problem, you have a change of clothes for him. You get my drift, be prepared. And one more thing, parents. Sometimes it gets overlooked in the moment, but your kid needs to know that you love them, no matter what. I have seen way too many parents berating their kids after a concert where their child made a mistake. You are their cheerleader! Your kids desperately want to please you, and fear is not a good motivator. Even if they forget the words, or come in at the wrong time, or even barf all over the stage. You love them, and your love isnât based on their performance. Itâs unconditional. Heather teaches voice lessons Nashville, TN, as well as online. She has a BA in Music from Winthrop University and specializes in classical voice and audition prep. Learn more about Heather here! Interested in Private Lessons?

In-School Training for Volunteer Tutors
In-School Training for Volunteer Tutors This week saw the first volunteer training of the year take place at the Tutorfair Office in Moorgate. With more training events scheduled in the coming weeks, we asked our Foundation Director, Joss, to tell us more about whatâs involved. This is the first time Iâve been involved in a volunteer training since joining the Foundation in September. Iâm absolutely delighted to have been involved and really pleased with the energy and engagement we got from attendees. The training programme was initially developed with Teach First in 2013, but itâs taken on a life of its own in the six years to now. This time, we trained seven tutors who have applied to volunteer as part of our in-school project at Oaklands School in Bethnal Green. I found the tutors brimming over with questions; eager to lead discussions and share their ideas and experience for the benefit of everyone - including me! The group was made up of variously experienced tutors specialising in languages, maths, sciences and SEN support. We started with a discussion of the Foundationâs ethos and aims followed by tutors explaining their own reasons for wanting to volunteer. Most of the attendees had never worked in a school before, so we knew there would be a lot to learn and a lot to talk about! Working in schools From my own experience and othersâ I know that one of the most challenging elements of tutoring in school is adapting to school life within the first few visits. We find that tutors tend to flourish after they get used to the pace of things. For that reason, we spent some time at the start of the session openly discussing expectations and exploring the ways in which tutors might struggle to adapt in the early stages of their placement. This included a fascinating discussion about the balance that tutors must strike between âapproachableâ and âprofessionalâ. We also cover how to maximise engagement and build relationships with students , including how to set and maintain standards of behaviour in your sessions. Safeguarding Next comes the supreme ruler of all training sessions - safeguarding! I find that most people already know something about safeguarding, but I know from experience that there are lots of rules that can be easy to break if youâre not adequately prepared. Fortunately, the Foundation team has thousands of hoursâ experience working and training in and around schools, so we can always add significant value and get our volunteers ready for their roles. I saw lots of note-taking in this session, particularly around recognising the impact of smartphones and social media on safeguarding practices. The session closed with a workshop on tutoring in classrooms. This can be a subtle art, often requiring tutors to use techniques theyâre not used to. How can you use your physical position and presence in the room to manage students non-verbally so as to not distract from teaching? How do you make sure youâre not just supporting the students who know how to ask for help? How do you know your presence is enhancing the teacherâs effectiveness, not inhibiting it? Having put lots of tutors into lots of schools, I think itâs this area that I see them struggle to master most often, so itâs something Iâm passionate about teaching - and teaching well! Overall, I was extremely pleased with the session. Thank you to all of the attendees, whose energy and contributions made the morning very informative and enjoyable. I look forward to continuing to improve on the training programme and welcoming our next group of applicants soon. The next Tutorfair Foundation training is next week on October 30th. If you want to be involved, apply to an opportunity on your profile or visit the foundationâs website here to register your interest.

3 Common Mistakes to Avoid on Law School Personal Statement
3 Common Mistakes to Avoid on Law School Personal Statement LSAT Law School Blog Failing to Demonstrate a Genuine Interest in the Law Many applicants to law school, especially ones who are trying to go K-JD, are fighting an uphill battle from the outset. This is because law school admissions officers harbor a healthy dose of skepticism that such applicants have seriously reflected on why they want to attend law school and if it is indeed the right move to make rather than a seemingly safe, default next step. If your personal statement for law school sounds exactly like your college personal statement and doesnât paint a clear and compelling picture of why you want to go to law school, youâre going to be in a tough position. Adding a couple of canned reasons why you like law school, or that particular law school generally, at the tail end of the personal statement will not check off this box for you; you interest in the law, potential career trajectories, and perhaps passion for a particular area of law or experience with the law should be palpable throughout the essay. Your personal statement should allow the reader to naturally infer that: You are genuinely interested in the law, and, There is some valid explanation for your interest. Writing Your Resume Twice This is probably the most common mistake that law school applicants make. They are at a loss for what to write about, and end up regurgitating the information on their resume in narrative form. To the admissions office, this screams BORING and UNCREATIVE. From a strategic perspective, it gives the admissions officers no information about you that they didnât already have. In General, the less they know about you, the less likely you are to be admitted. Furthermore, if you are incapable of writing a 2-3 page paper that doesnât repeat the other 15 pages youâve sent the admissions office, then you seem at best uncreative and at worst lazy. This doesnât meant that you cannot discuss activities or experiences which also appear on your resume; in fact, you almost always should do this in some capacity. Exaggerating Adversity Overcoming adversity is only a viable topic if youâve actually overcome meaningful adversity compared to the rest of the applicant pool. Remember, you will be applying alongside people from war-torn countries, people who are afflicted with life-threatening diseases, and many more challenges that you cannot even imagine. Weâve even seen a few students drafting essays about how the election of Donald Trump made them feel this year; I assure you that admissions officers eyes will glaze over with how many of these essays they will be reading this cycle. Against this backdrop, you writing about difficulty with a class, with a particular standardized test, with friendship conflicts, or other reimaginations of small setbacks into true and enduring hardships, you will seem immature to the admissions committee and they will likely judge you unfavorably. A good brightline test: if you have to ask yourself âis this adversity?â even once, itâs almost certainly not. Another variation of this common mistake is writing about true adversity, but not explaining the significance of it and how you have overcome it or are working to overcome it. Adversity is only important for an applicant insofar as you have overcome or begun to overcome that adversity, and in that triumph have demonstrated some set of qualities which will further his/her legal career. The invitation to write a law school personal statement is not an invitation to a pity-party. About the Author David Mainiero graduated from Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School. He is a Co-Founder and admissions expert at InGenius Prep.

An Introduction to the Properties of Matter
An Introduction to the Properties of Matter Every object on Earth is made up of matter. There are two basic properties of matter: physical and chemical. You're likely to learn about these properties in two subjects most senior school and some college students take: physics and chemistry. It's helpful to have a basic handle on the properties of matter before jumping into either course. This way, you'll know just what your teacher, lecturer, Chemistry Tutor or PHYSICS TUTOR mean when they discuss matter in the first few sessions. Below you'll find some helpful introductory ideas to know about both physical and chemical properties of matter. Physical Properties of Matter Physical properties are those attributes of an object that can be distinguished without altering its outward appearance. When you look at a banana, you can easily recognise that this fruit has certain physical characteristics. These include volume, colour, shape, mass, and density. Mass is defined as just how much matter an object has. Volume is the amount of space an object takes up, and density is the amount of mass in a particular volume. Intensive Extensive Properties Physical properties can be divided into two categories: intensive and extensive. Intensive properties remain constant no matter how much matter an object has. Intensive properties include colour, density, and conductivity. Extensive properties will change if the amount of matter does. Examples of extensive properties are mass, volume, and length. People often confuse mass and weight. Weight takes into account the pull of gravity on an object, while mass does not. Chemical Properties of Matter Chemical properties can only be seen when an object is changed through a chemical reaction or other process. An object must undergo a chemical change for its chemical properties to be recognised. Examples of chemical properties are flammability, toxicity, radioactivity, and oxidation. In chemistry class, lab tests are often completed to help students recognise the chemical properties of an object. For example, the level of toxicity of an object involves its ability to harm or disrupt the makeup of another organism. Atoms It's nearly impossible to talk about matter without mentioning the atom, the basic building block of all things that have mass and take up space on Earth. You can determine an element's atomic makeup by finding out how many protons (particles with a positive charge) are found within it. The Periodic Table, that famous chart of chemical elements hanging in every chemistry classroom, is arranged in part by the elements' chemical properties. Because every physical thing on Earth is made up of matter, it's useful to know about its different properties. Even if you don't plan to pursue a career as a chemistry teacher or lab scientist, understanding the basic makeup of objects allows us to better comprehend and respond to our world.

3 Ways to Improve Your Focus at Work
3 Ways to Improve Your Focus at Work unsplash.com When youâre a college student, making the transition from attending just a few classes a day to completing a full work day in the real world can be quite daunting. We look at adults working that 9-5 shift and wonder, How do they do it? Especially when the job involves sitting at a desk and slaving away at project after project until the day is done, maintaining a steady level of motivation and focus seems impossible. In contrast, during the academic year, I spend my days bouncing back and forth among various activities: a few classes in the morning or afternoon, an hour or so at the gym, some time to do homework and study, and occasionally the chance to hang out with friends. And even for my previous summer jobs as a lifeguard and swim instructor, my work days were usually segmented with small breaks in between. This summer, however, I experienced the 9-5 life firsthand with a marketing internship at a data analytics company. While I certainly enjoyed the work I was given, sitting in front of a computer in a cubicle for most of the day sometimes meant that keeping up my focus proved to be a challenge. Of course, once we college students finally do transition into the working world, we want to be able to give our jobs our full attention no matter what kind of job it is. To prevent yourself from slacking off or losing focus at work, here are some ideas to help you stay sharp, attentive, and motivated. Get up and move around pexels.com You donât have to be chained to your desk all day. If you feel that youâve been spending too much time sitting in the same spot, staring at a computer screen until your eyes glaze over, take a break. Stand up and stretch or take a short walk; you can do a couple laps around your office floor or go outside for some fresh air. Maybe get a drink of water or something light to snack on, if you think that will help. The point is, moving around even a little bit will get your blood flowing and facilitate a change in scenery. Perhaps by the time you get back to your desk, even if your little adventure only lasted five minutes, youâll feel more refreshed and mentally energized. Make the most of your breaks You might not get many breaks throughout the day, but thatâs just an opportunity to get more value out of them. When you take your lunch break, for instance, donât spend it scrolling through social media on your phone while absentmindedly shoving food into your mouth (as I have been apt to do). Instead, use that time to unwind as much as you can and appreciate what youâre doing in the moment. If youâre eating, take the time to savor your food. If youâre going for a walk, focus on enjoying and just being in a new environment outside of the office. You can even find ways to make the most of your bathroom breaks (for the few minutes that they last). Certainly, having to use the bathroom while youâre working can be distracting and uncomfortable, so make sure you go when you need to. If youâre feeling tired or just generally in a hazy mood, you can also splash some water on your face and fix yourself up in the mirror. Taking the time to freshen up, even if itâs doing something as minor as applying more lipstick or adjusting your shirt, can go a long way to help you feel more put together which ultimately allows you to be less distracted by little things and more focused on your tasks at hand. Create a schedule pexels.com Having a schedule will help keep you accountable and focused on what you have to accomplish. Write up a list of all your tasks and estimate how much time you expect to devote to each one. Most likely you wonât end up sticking with it exactly, but it will serve as a good guideline throughout the day. Plus, setting a time limit for each task e.g. one hour to complete this or that assignment will make you feel as if youâre working against the clock, and therefore keep you focused on whatever youâre doing for that allotted time.
What Does It Mean When You Read the Percent Yield Of A Chemical?
What Does It Mean When You Read the Percent Yield Of A Chemical?The percent yield of a chemical is the number of grams of that chemical produced from one gram of the element it is based on. The basis for converting a chemical into its equivalent weight can be any thing that can hold an equation with another chemical. For example, if you take a cup of soda and mix it with water, you will end up with a pound of soda with the same amount of water that you had originally.In some ways, you can use the percent yield as a simple shorthand for the mass-to-weight ratio of a chemical. All that really matters is the percentage of the chemical. If a substance is labeled a percent yield, it is an easy way to determine how much of a particular element that substance is made up of.Now, if you want to know what elements are found in a specific chemical, you have to look at the percent yield as well. If it is a pound of calcium chloride, and it is written on the label, you know the percent is 1.2. Th is can be done through the help of a mass calculator and how it can be used in the equation. You can then convert it into the equivalent weight of calcium chloride.However, if you want to know the equivalent weight of all the grams of calcium chloride, you can easily do this by using the decimal system. Calcium chloride, or CaCl2, has four atoms of each element found in the periodic table. If the number of atoms of the elements on the periodic table is higher than the number of atoms of the other elements, you can be assured that there is a lot more of the element you are looking for.If you look at the percentage yields of the elements in the periodic table, you will find that they are all listed in the natural equivalent form. Each element has a number assigned to it, and it is based on the weight of the element in the periodic table. The more commonly used formulas will list the elements in the same order as the natural equivalents are found in the periodic table.As we have seen, the percent yield of a chemical will give you the weight of a certain element, but it will not tell you what the element is. In most cases, the molecular formula of the element will tell you that information. Sometimes the molecular formula will include the symbol for the element, or the number of times that the element has been used in chemistry. It is wise to check with your chemistry professor before you read the list.Whether you are interested in the mass-to-weight ratio, or the percent yield, you should learn how to convert the two terms. Knowing this information is useful for both your education and your own professional and financial success.
