what makes a good teacher...cont

in my honest opinion, every teacher should have a unique quirk, whether it be thier voice, manerisms, charisma, posture or even dress code! but this example is voice Name: Wynford Vaughan Thomas age: (deceased but at time of recording was 68 Programme "The Great Little Trains of Wales; Bala lake railway. year: 1976 how charming is his voice eh? call me old fashioned, but im sure if anyone heard this, they would agree on his voice

as the crow flies, my review of "music technology at Simon Balle"

well, this has to be one of the greatest, if not, the greatest Music tech blogs i have seen to date. It encompasses all forms of music technology info: -Core documents -past papers -reviews of tech -recording -compsition -MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) -Lesson Plans  -portfolios and so on and so forth this gives the teacher or student equal opportunities to gather resources, this is handy for exam preperation and revision, downloading lesson content. if the students of Simon Balle follow him on Blogspot, he can see what exactly what has been seen, or downloaded. so in a way, this blog is the all in all most incredible blog i have come across. i would give 10/10 for this blog

the tech of spare...ish time




About Me

what's there to know,
                           The Name's Croucher, A. E. Croucher. But you can call me Adam if you wish, Ad is fine too...i digress.
basically i am a post grad student studying  PCET course, hoping to teach Music Technology, putting my degree skills to good use.
   i really wanted to work in theatre, or live events, but then i realized, because those events (as a live musician) only happen once in a blue moon...i would want to let people know more about what i have learned in my education.
   being on this course will change my path in life, hopefully for the better, and then via netorking, any form of musical/technical/educational job is on the cards.
