What is it Like to Attend Valparaiso University

What is it Like to Attend Valparaiso University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Katelyn is a Chicago tutor specializing in several subjects, including ACT prep tutoring, Chemistry tutoring, English tutoring, and more. She earned a Bachelors degree in Chemistry, International Service, and Humanities from Valparaiso University in 2014. Check out what she had to say about her experience at Valparaiso University: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Katelyn:Although Valparaiso University is set in the suburban town of Valparaiso (in Indiana), the campus is distinctly separate from the town. Save for one residential street, the campus is entirely comprised of residential life and academic buildingsthere are no major streets running through campus, so the only cars in motion are those of the students or faculty. While parking is available for students after their freshman year, I did not elect to have a car until my senior year, when I lived off-campus. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk between the farthest buildings, so there are some bikes around campus. Due to the lack of indoor storage for bikes, having one can be more of a hassle during the winter months when the sidewalks are icy. There is a city bus system called the V-Line that students may utilize for free if they wish to leave campus to see a movie or run errands. The bus also makes special trips to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Here, you can pick up the South Shore train and be in Chicago in an hour! VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Katelyn:The faculty is by far the best thing about Valparaiso University. As a predominantly undergraduate school, there are no teaching assistants for classes (outside of a few lab assistants in the sciences who help grade assignments). The average class size is in the 20s, so it is very easy to get to know your professor. It is not uncommon to hear of faculty members holding the last class session of the semester in their own homes, with a barbeque or holiday party afterwards. Students are required to meet with their academic adviser prior to registering for classes, so at the very minimum, you will see your adviser once per semester. However, it is more likely that you will see your adviser once a week just by passing them in the hallway of an academic building! My chemistry adviser was even part of our chemistry club co-ed intramural volleyball team! VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Katelyn:Unless you are registered as a commuter, there is a mandatory housing component at Valparaiso University. The threshold for moving off-campus is 88 credit hours, which is typically reached after the spring semester of junior year. There are eight co-ed residence halls on campus, as well as one female-only hall that houses the six national sororities. The three freshman residence halls are all directly next to each other, so new students benefit from a little piece of campus that is essentially their own. There is one main dining hall, Founders Table, which is set up much like a food court. It is open every day of the week, so you do not have to worry about looking for meals on the weekends! There is also a cafe in Harre Union and a Grinders coffee/sandwich shop in the library. Meals are purchased a la carte, so there is no specific meal plan (i.e. 21 meals a week, 15 meals a week). I really enjoyed this flexibility because if I missed a meal in the dining hall or opted to eat off-campus, I did not lose any pre-paid money. Meal card money can even be used at the universitys seasonal farmers marketa perk during the fall and spring months! VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Katelyn:Valparaiso University has five different colleges: the College of Arts Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Engineering, the College of Nursing Health Professions, and Christ College (the honors college). It is hard to say what is the most popular major on campus because the university does such a good job of providing an interdisciplinary experience no matter your degree. For example, during freshman year, there is a required course called CORE, which is essentially an introductory college writing/English/humanities course. Professors teaching CORE may be from any of the colleges, so they provide a truly unique perspective on the curriculum via their discipline, and they encourage students to do the same. I cannot say enough positive things about the quality of education I received at Valparaiso Universitya significant portion of the students successfully pursue a double major because they are purely interested in several topics. I was an anomaly in this regar d. I accidentally graduated with a triple major in Chemistry, International Service, and Humanities. One more thing I will add about academic support is that every college has recently received a major gift from donors/the university. The College of Nursing Health Professions has expanded its degree programs and acquired simulation laboratories; the College of Business has a new scholarship fund to send students to China for a semester of study; the College of Arts Sciences recently opened a new academic building, and it is in the process of building a new laboratory building; and finally, the College of Engineering opened a brand new wing of labs and student design space in 2012, as well as a state-of-the-art solar energy research facility. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Katelyn:There is no way not to make friends your freshman year. Resident assistants hold floor meetings and inform you about welcome week activities during the first week of classes. Even before you arrive on campus, Valparaiso University hosts a two-day orientation program in June called FOCUS, where students register for classes, meet their academic advisers, and start to make new friends. I think what helps catalyze friendships among freshman students is the policy in the Fraternity and Sorority community to host formal recruitment in January. Students looking to join one of these organizations must have completed 12 college credits and earned, at minimum, a 2.5 GPA. Joining a fraternity or sorority does not mean you will stop being friends with your other friends. I was in a sorority and had a very close group of friends from freshman year who ended up in different sororities than myself, but I believe our friendship only got stronger because we purposefully went out of our way t o hang out with each other! Outside of Greek life, I was also heavily involved with the international community, the fastest growing population of any group on campusand the most fun, I might add. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Katelyn:The Career Center hosts many events throughout the year, culminating in two career fairs (fall and spring semesters). They have run programs such as an etiquette dinner, where professionals taught students proper table manners. I frequented their open office hours while I was putting together a resume for summer internship opportunities, and again when I was completing graduate school applications. They are currently working on creating a network of alumni mentors for students to partner with for everything from job shadowing to casual career advice. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Katelyn:There are study areas all over campus even during my senior year, I was finding new places I had not known existed. While you may have to arrive at the library early during finals week, it is extremely easy to find a space there or in other computer labs/study lounges throughout the year. Though the library is only open until 2:00 a.m., each residence hall has a 24-hour computer lab and quiet study lounge for when you need to work late. My favorite place to study was in the library at the tables closest to the windowstwo entire sides of the library are glass, so it is filled with natural light. Because of this, even on days I stayed in the library for over 12 hours, I felt connected with what was happening outside. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Katelyn:Downtown Valparaiso has significantly changed in even the last four years, and the city has done a lot to help local businesses become more student-friendly. For example, on the first Thursday of every month, there is a dinner deal at a lot of trendy restaurants for appetizers and fixed-price menu items. The movie theatre and bowling alley are just a five-minute ride away from campus, and the shopping mall is within walking distance (with stores like Target, Barnes and Noble, Kohls, Marshalls, JCPenney, and Bath Body Works). The Lake Michigan beachfront/Indiana Dunes are favorite spots when the weather is nice. As the fall approaches, hoards of students carpool to the neighboring town for the local apple orchard/pumpkin farm. Valparaiso University is also known for its basketball, so in the winter you can expect to find the entirety of campus packed into the Athletics-Recreation Center for games several times a week. As mentioned before, the South Shore train is a quick bus ride from campus, so students will often plan weekend trips into Chicago. A significant portion of the student population commutes to campus, so during the winter months when it is too cold to do anything outside except walk to class, campus may seem empty. Once the weather warms up again, you will be wondering if the student population doubled in size! VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Katelyn:Valparaiso University is a community, so faculty, staff, and students are all familiar with each other. About 3,000 undergraduates are enrolled at any given time, and another 1,200 graduate students put total enrollment at around 5,000. I felt that this was the perfect number of people because I would always see my friends during the day, but every semester I was able to meet new people too. There is something extremely comforting about not knowing everyone, but also recognizing faces on your walk between classes. I think that at this size, it is also easy to be involved in whatever it is you are passionate about. My favorite example of this was my good friend James (now serving in the Peace Corps in Thailand). His degree was in International Economics and Cultural Affairs, but at Valparaiso University, he was heavily involved in theatre and music, taking on the role of president of the premiere choir, Chorale, in his senior year. Even in our freshman year, he was selected ov er upper-class music and theatre majors to play one of the leading roles in the musical Floyd Collins. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Katelyn: When I was beginning my senior year, the university hired a new professor to fill an endowed chair position. I was already enrolled in a course that he ended up taking over (Global Humanitarianism) from my academic adviser. He is the former President and CEO of Lutheran World Relief, and he has served on the InterAction board in the role of Treasurer. To have a faculty member like this not only teaching my course of nine students, but also mentoring us, was an out-of-this-world opportunity. I ended up taking another class with him in my spring semester, and since then he has become a mentor and role model for me. After I graduated from Valparaiso University, I took three months to go on a cross-country bike ride for charity, and when we rode through Valparaiso, this professor and his wife opened their home to us for several days. It is relationships like this that truly define the Valparaiso University experience. They not only benefit students in their future careers, but i n their pursuit to lead lives of character, as well. Check out Katelyns tutoring profile.

Dont Make These Mistakes in Your French Lessons!

Dont Make These Mistakes in Your French Lessons! Avoid These Common Mistakes when Learning French! ChaptersThe Ten Most Common Spelling Errors in FrenchWhat are the Most Frequently Occurring Grammar Errors in French?The Most Common French Pronunciation ErrorsRule Exceptions in the French LanguagePencils ready; phrasebook in hand / eager French student; there you stand / however, beware as you go, of any pitfall / that may cause you to want to chuck it all!Starting an exposé of potential pitfalls when learning French with bad poetry is especially apt, seeing as bad poetry should be avoided at all costs. So should said pitfalls.In all seriousness now... language learning is an endeavour not to be undertaken frivolously. After all, communication is one of the pillars of civilisation. Thus it stands to reason that doing so in a second language proves social evolution theories.But that's probably not the reason you want to learn how to speak French.Many aspiring francophones fell in love with the way the language sounds, and then with the way they feel when on holiday in France, and f inally decided that the boost in cognitive ability makes the effort of learning well worth the price.Holding steadfast to a goal, even in the face of adversity, can sometimes be challenging; especially if you have no idea, from the outset of your venture, what adversity you might face.Superprof urges you to read this article, first!Before cracking open that French book, downloading any language learning app or uttering your primary bonjour, take a look at these mistakes beginners at French learning inevitably make.Not through any fault of theirs. Please don't misconstrue our premise as indicative that French language learners are a sorry lot!It's just that the French language is fraught with difficulty, from letter sounds that do not exist in our native tongue to unconventional arrangements of vowels and consonants.But then, dear French learner, those are the very aspects of language learning that you've set your cap to master, isn't it?Allons-y! Let's uncover together the best road map for avoiding mistakes while learning French!Add to that the fact that French, like any other romance language, makes use of diacritical marks, or accents â€" either to give meaning to their words or to indicate a formerly missing letter.And, under select Cs, you might be required to squiggle a cedilla... leaving off any of them might cause your words to be considered improperly spelled.The French language could hardly be called phonetic, and the chances for misspellings in French are high.How can you skirt that sinkhole?Spelling of HomonymsHomophones, which fall under the broader umbrella of homonyms, are words that sound the same but are spelled differently.Consider this word set: sein, saint, sain, seing, ceins, and ceint are all pronounced the same, despite their obviously different spelling.Respectively, they represent: breast, saint, sane, signature; gird your loins, and surrounded by.Picture your teacher's reaction to a composition that includes the sentence: my brother is a breast, rather than my brother is a saint!The danger with writing homophones lies not in accurate spelling but in spelling the intended meaning's word accurately.In instances such as these, spell checkers are no help: they may well overlook your correctly spelled incorrect homonym, because they cannot distinguish context.This problem is not endemic to French spell checking: how would your English word processing programme know whether you meant to write bear â€" the animal, also carrying a burden; or bare â€" nude?So in English, as in French, a language that is overwhelmingly populated with such words.To quote a popular line from France's iconic comic strip series, Astérix: cette guerre civile est guère civile.This comic play on words translates to: this civil war is hardly civil, with the French words for war and hardly being homophones.Fortunately, in English a civil war being civil is not put to the question; in French, however, unless you know exactly which homophone goes w here, you will likely end up with a spelling mistake.Misplacing or Omitting AccentsThe accent aigu, the forward-slash accent, features only on the letter E. There's a handy grammar tip for you!Generally, it is used to denote the fact that the letter S used to follow, in words such as: école, écoute, été...In case you were wondering, our word for learner, student, came from old French: estudiant. Can you see the English version within that archaic spelling of the French word?Most likely, nobody besides linguists and academics care that an S used to be present in modern French words that have an E accented in that manner.Not even your French teacher cares, other than the fact that if you forget to draw that accent, you will be charged with a spelling error.Our tip for avoiding this potential stumbling block: study word etymology, and learn how to place diacritical marks correctly!To avoid confusion, learn which letter are silent in French Source: Pixabay Credit: PhilmShhh! Silent Letters in FrenchNot only is the French language plagued with absent letters commemorated by accents, but their vocabulary boasts a wealth of words with all letters present and accounted for, with some embracing silence.That is really not so unusual; we suffer our fair share of them in the English language, too: the K in knife, knee and know are sterling examples of such.Remember, earlier in this article, we mentioned that French is in no way a phonetic language?That means that there are so many French words that aren't spelled as they sound â€" as opposed to English, where fully two thirds of the vocabulary consists of so-called sound words.To secure success in spelling in French, we supply these small pointers:As in English, the E at the end of most French words is silentunless it bears an accent!The H is always silent, whether it is aspired or mutetreated as a consonant or a vowel, for the purposes of linking and liaisingThe S at the end of most words is silentexamples include: v ous, nous, temps, champsThe X at the end of most words is silentconsider prix, deux and the irregular plurals: choux, chateaux, bateaux, and journauxNaturally, there are exceptions to every rule, such as French numbers dix and six â€" where the X makes an S sound.Please keep in mind that French is an extraordinary language, fraught with logic. So, should you encounter any spelling rule exceptions, rest assured that there is a good reason for it.How to Avoid Spelling ErrorsOf course, there is no guarantee that you will become a champion speller, taking prize after prize at any spelling bee... not that the French host such events, to begin with.However, francophone countries such as Canada and select lands in Africa do compete for the ultimate title of champion speller!Still, proper spelling is important for many reasons and, being an avid learner of French, surely you wish to get it all right.How can you minimise your risk of misspelling?1. Just as you did in school, when learning to write your native language, you should use any new French words you learn as much as possible, in every way possible: speaking them, writing them, using them in French conversation.Especially if you handwrite them, neural pathways in your brain will quickly and automatically build recognition of correctly spelled words, meaning you will spell them right every time!2. Avoid using a spell checker. As previously mentioned, these utilities have no concept of context, therefore it will be incapable of distinguishing a right from wrong homophone in your text.However, it will tell you if you've spelled words correctly, regardless of your intended meaning, so maybe there is value in applying them on occasion!Learn to use a French dictionary.It is true that, unless you know how to spell the word you intend to use, traditional bound dictionaries are not much help.Conversely, electronic dictionaries and dictionaries online offer word suggestions or automatically complete the word you are inve stigating, and that can be tremendously helpful!Learning to spell in French is no more difficult than in English; really, it is just a matter of following the rules.And now, you know a few of them. Surely you'll pick up more as you become more advanced in French studies!Dont' let your French courses leave you stressed: learn to avoid these grammar errors! Source: Pixabay Credit: AndreasWhat are the Most Frequently Occurring Grammar Errors in French?At the outset of your language learning experience, when your eagerness to ply your skills at French speaking is at its highest, you may find that you make unintentional errors with French grammar.And, that's OK! The best way to learn is from your mistakes, aver the wise!Gender agreement is perhaps the biggest potential for error as you learn French grammar.Words in French are each assigned to a gender, masculine or feminine, according to certain word characteristics. That means that, not only must the article reflect that noun's gender, but so must also the verb ending and any adjective used.In English, we have no such concept, and our default article is the. Doesn't that make things simple?In French, contrary to our language, the definite articles le, la and les are not the default; the partitive de, de la and des are. Or, as a fall-back, un or une â€" the indefinites which correspond to our a or an.That perhaps explains the French native speaker's propensity to use the unnecessarily!The correct use of articles in French depends greatly on knowing the gender of the noun.That makes the ability to determine a noun's gender critical in avoiding this grammar faux-pas.Verb Usage ErrorsLinguists argue that the French language is beset of more moods than tenses, an academic argument that does little to help the students sitting in French for beginners courses.What might help is knowing that two of the most common irregular verbs in French, être and avoir â€" equivalent to our to be and to have, are used the most!While i t might be tempting to simply transpose our use of those verbs into French, to do so would make for a lot of mistakes because, especially to describe conditions in French, you would say I have, rather than I am.Those translations are in fact the correct way of describing those and other human conditions.In other instances, the French are on board with the usage of to be:Can you say I am angry in French? How about I am tired?Describing environmental conditions, such as temperature or precipitation, are generally written with it makes, rather than it has or it is.In English, we would say it is windy; in French the correct phraseology would be he makes some wind â€" il fait du vent.Comprehension of these distinctions in using these auxiliary verbs will lead to fewer mistakes in using French expressions relating to such conditions.Naturally, as these errors are bound to feature in the course of your learning the language, you will also make unintentional mistakes in speaking French.Spea king French clearly means using proper pronunciation, especially of the letter sounds that don't exist in English Source: Pixabay Credit: Teri Makasih0The Most Common French Pronunciation ErrorsLearning a foreign language inevitably brings on much hilarity; not because the activity is a huge source of fun and highly entertaining, but because working one's mouth around the sounds of another language takes a measure of skill.Especially as you study French, you may find your mouth not moving in such a way as to make even the most innocuous of sounds, such as the French U, correctly.You may have discovered this deficiency from your very first session in beginner French classes, when conjugating the verb avoir:j'ai, tu as, il a...and, already, you are confronted with inadvertent failure!French teachers do their very best to help English speakers learn this sound that does not exist in their language, to try to make the French you sound right, rather than coming out as too.NOTE: the Frenc h language already incorporates that OO sound we're so familiar with: think of words such as soupe, tout, and both versions of ou â€" one with and one without an accent, meaning where.You can best master the French U by reverting to your childhood.Have you ever made a fish face? Pressed your cheeks in while pursing your lips? That is the exact method of making this unique French sound!Another potential for trouble is in making the French R sound.Rather than rolling it as Spanish speaking calls for, or arching the back of your tongue so that the sides touch your molars â€" the way the English R is spoken, the French equivalent is all in the throat.You may compare the French R sound to the Scottish CH, as in Loch, or the German Bach.Isn't that a handy tip? Here are some tips to help you with your French pronunciation.How Double L Words are SpokenSome sound like -ye and others like -le, but how can you tell which ones?Let us look at this French vocabulary, that you most likely learned in your basic French course: balle, ville, bulle, elle, and mille.Yes, there is a rule for how such words are spoken!If any vowel save I precedes the double L, that letter combination sounds like -le.If the vowel I precedes that double consonant, it generally sounds like -ye,  as in  fille, aiguille, feuille...Yes, there are exceptions to that rule, some of which are listed above.The word bouilloire, which contains that double-L construction, is considered among the most difficult by anyone studying French.Here are a few more...The Survey says: Hard Words to Say in FrenchThe French word for frog, grenouille, is also reported as hard to say. In spite of its R sound and triple vowel combination, you can master it by breaking it into syllables: grr-noo-yeuh.Would you believe that the French city, Rouen, is reportedly a cause of embarrassment for some? Not the city itself, but pronouncing its name: some say wrain, other aver it is roon... neither is correct.Try it for yourself: Roo-ahn will get you close.Perhaps the most contentious word, so voted by native French speakers and advanced French learners alike, would be their word for locksmith.Serrurerie not only contains four of those hard to master French Rs, but there is also a difficult U, smack in the middle of them!For more words that pose problems for French class attendees and alumni alike, you may enjoy this article.For more exceptions to this exceptional language, please read on!Rule Exceptions in the French LanguageAs you go about your French lessons and learn all about French culture on your way to fluency as a francophone, you may feel encumbered by the seeming inconsistencies of this language of Molière.You learn the rule, you apply the rule and, oh! Guess what? There's an exception to the rule!The fact is, becoming fluent in French means encountering fewer rule exceptions â€" in grammar, spelling and verb conjugation, than in English.And, while many who work so hard to learn French words and phrases apply themselves to diligently studying all of the language's rules, we would urge you to study the French grammar exceptions instead.Such as... you ask?Distinguishing an French noun's gender will help keep from making mistakes Source: Pixabay Credit: TumisuRules for Gender AgreementThe rule about a sentence's article agreeing with its noun, which should agree with its verb ending, which should agree with any adjectives is solid; a good one to know and follow.The rule about never mixing genders in a sentence, on the other hand, is breakable. You can most certainly use masculine and feminine nouns in the same sentence, so long as you remember that the masculine prevails.For example: Un acteur doué; une belle actrice â€" a talented actor and a beautiful actress. Now, let's put them in a single sentence:Des acteurs doués et beaux â€" the article has been changed to its plural form, only the noun's masculine form is used, and that gender prevails through both adjectives.The rule that the masculine prevails pertains to pronouns, too: when speaking of a mixed gender group, you would only use the plural masculine pronoun.Did you notice the ending for actor and actress above? The rule for  titles, as applied to male and female workers, generally holds that there will be a different ending for the female of the species, save for the position of interpreter.If you are a female practitioner of real-time translation of French dialogue, your job title would remain masculine!As there is no such concept as grammatical gender in English, surely this aspect of mastering French phrases poses complications for the beginner and intermediate French learner.Let us now add fuel to that fire by throwing another log on! We've already disclosed that everything, including uncountable nouns such as milk and tea â€" what we would preface with some, are assigned a gender. Did you know that, in French, ephemeral intangibles are also treated to a gender?It is quite possible you've felt the love, but have you ever been plagued by the jealousy?You got it! Love is considered masculine and la jalousie is feminine!Go figure! you want to learn language; to understand and communicate in French, acquiring language skills is, of course, Job 1.Understanding the intrinsic value of this wonderful, mellifluous language will not come from your language lessons, but from appreciating its distinct differences and everything that makes it both charming and beguiling. That means, in turn, that you must recognise its exceptions and eccentricities as well as its logic and order. Hopefully, we've brought you a measure of both, and wish you the best of luck in you ongoing efforts to learn to speak French. Bonne chance, dorénavant!Now that you are well on your way, why not Google 'French course London' to see what your next step could be!

Spice Up Your Playing with these Essential Guitar Strum Patterns

Spice Up Your Playing with these Essential Guitar Strum Patterns Megan L. Many guitarists have a tendency to focus most of their practice time and energy on left-hand fretting technique. Although the left hand is very important, mastering different rhythms and guitar strum patterns with your right hand adds a whole new dimension to your guitar playing. Understanding Guitar Strum Patterns Start by playing a simple chord progression. Ideally, you should be able to play through the chords without looking at the fingers on your left hand. Starting with a simple progression allows you to focus your attention and energy on your right hand. Make sure you have the proper grip on your pick and practice strumming downwards on each chord four times, and then changing chords. As youre counting to four, strum once for each count and then repeat counting to four again on the next chord. Once you feel comfortable playing this rhythm using downstrokes, try the same thing using up strokes, strumming from the high E up toward your low E. Check out this helpful tutorial for an example of some basic strumming patterns to start with. Most strumming patterns are composed of down strokes and up strokes. You might see a strum pattern indicated on guitar tabs or sheet music with up and down arrows under or above the staff, Us and Ds under or above the staff, or with strum notation as shown in the chart below: The upside down U shape indicates a down stroke, and the V shape is an up stroke. As you can see, when it comes to strum patterns, guitar notation is a little all over the place. Do a quick web search for strumming patterns on guitar and you will likely run across all of these notation systems. Its important to be able to recognize each of them, as you will probably continue to come across each of them. Although notation is variable, keep this constant in mind: all of these different types of notations represent two basic things, down strokes and up strokes. Combining up and down strokes in different rhythms is the key to creating most strum patterns. To get started, lets try the strum pattern shown in the chart above. Each measure is four beats. The single-stemmed notes you see are quarter notes. Each quarter note counts as one beat. The notes that are connected at the bottom are eighth notes. Each eighth note takes half the amount of time to play as a quarter note. When you are counting these notes, you will say and. For example, to count the measures above, youll say, One, two, three and four. Imagine that there is an and between every number you say. When you strum this pattern, you will strum: down, down, down, up, down. Alternating Bass Guitar Strum Patterns Some guitar strum patterns will also incorporate a bass note plucked individually. These patterns are called alternating bass patterns, because they alternate bass notes, or the root note of the chord, with complete strums of the full chord. You will often hear this technique used in country and folk music. One very common alternating bass strum pattern involves plucking downward on the root note of the chord and then strumming upward on the full chord. Heres what this pattern looks like using the G-chord, transcribed to both guitar tabs and traditional sheet music: Some alternating bass guitar rhythms involve more strumming. Check out this variation on the first alternating bass pattern you learned. Note that the patterns weve looked at so far have been in 4/4 time and this one is in 3/3, meaning there are three beats per measure. Youll notice that this strum pattern has a swinging, waltz feeling to it, while the 4/4 patterns can feel more like a march or a rock beat, depending on the strum pattern you use. Adding Other Elements Theres more to great rhythm guitar playing than just strumming. Sometimes, the most interesting patterns and grooves incorporate pauses and muting to add interest and percussive qualities to your playing. The simplest element to start adding to your guitar strumming are pauses. Start with a straight ahead, 4/4 beat where you are playing one down stroke for each count of four. Now practice strumming just on the one, two, and four. What happens if you change it up and just strum on the two and three? Get creative and get comfortable with not having to fill every second of a song with your guitar. Muting your strings is another great way to add some color to strum patterns. Lets take a look at the two types of muting and then learn how to incorporate them into a strumming pattern. Left-Hand Muting Technique Muting gives your guitar a crisper, crunchier sound. To mute your strings using  your left hand, just relax your fretting fingers so that instead of holding the note down cleanly, they are just deadening the vibration of the string. To mute all the strings on your guitar, lay your index finger across the fretboard. Try playing  a 4/4 strum pattern with just one down stroke per count. Now alternate fretting and muting the chord, one strum pressing the strings down fully with your left hand and on the next strum mute the strings. Get used to hearing and feeling the difference. Right-Hand Muting or Palm Muting You can also mute your guitar strings using your right, strumming hand. Allow the side of your palm to rest gently on the strings as you strum. This technique is great for muting open strings or creating a softer sound. Practice alternating full strums with palm-muted strums. Heres what muting looks like on guitar tabs and other notation: The Xs indicate muted strums. To play this strum pattern, youll start with down strokes on the one and tw0, then play four muted strokes, alternating up and down, on the three-and-four-and. Now that youre familiar with some basic guitar strum patterns, and know how to read them, you can learn many more either by looking at guitar tabs, mimicking what you hear when you listen to music, or by taking private lessons with a guitar teacher. The right guitar teacher will give you personal attention and help you progress by leaps and bounds. Find out more about guitar lessons or search for your perfect teacher today!

Report Card Tips

Report Card Tips Oradell, NJ October17, 2017 The first marking period of the year does not have to conjure up stress for many children and their parents. The report card should be viewed as an opportunity to identify any potential trouble areas, address any issues and set goals with your child, advises Eileen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center. As the first academic review of your childs school performance this year, Huntington suggests that parents keep in mind the following when they receive their childs fall report card: The teacher can offer more in-depth information. Grades should be digested with the help of a teacher, who can provide more insight into and specifics about your childs academic strengths and weaknesses, behavior in the classroom and more. Together, you can identify the areas where your child may need additional support and develop a plan to provide just thatat home and in the classroom. Poor organization and study skills may hamper a students performance. Sometimes a child has the ability to learn and comprehend, but he or she is disorganized and unskilled at managing his or her time. If your child is getting bad grades, talk about his or her homework, study routine and approach. Perhaps a few small changes may help your child become a more effective and efficient student. Last year was last year. Its a whole new school year, with more demanding classes and concepts for your child to learn and different teachers who may approach subjects differently. This means that the challenges that confront your child may be completely different this year. Do not be surprised if your child brings home a lower-than-expected grade in a subject that did not cause trouble last year, and remind yourself that no matter what troubles present themselves, you and your child can overcome them together. Some problems dont go away on their own. Certain issues need correction sooner rather than later. If your child does not acquire certain building block skills in math or rea ding that are essential for him or her to grasp more difficult and in-depth concepts, for example, he or she will continue to struggle in those subjects. Your childs teacher can advise whether your child would benefit from tutoring that will help him or her close those skill gaps as quickly as possible. Huntington reminds parents that perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind when grades are declining is that the action taken is what really counts. Inevitably, issues will arise throughout your childs education, says Huntington. However, if you stay optimistic and calm and take steps early, you can overcome those issues before they grow into major problems. About Huntington Huntington is the tutoring and test prep leader.

Growth Mindset and Motivation

Growth Mindset and Motivation When you think about ADHD symptoms, things like distractibility, impulsivity, or hyperactivity usually come to mind. But along with these typical symptoms comes another challenge: low motivation. Kids with ADHD often struggle to muster up the motivation they need in order to be successful, particularly when it comes to schoolwork. Perhaps not surprisingly, research has shown that factors like motivation, the desire to improve, and persistence all greatly impact academic performance. But when you have a child with ADHD, what can you do as a parent that will really make an impact on your childs motivation for schoolwork? There are several behavior management strategies that help to improve motivation on a moment to moment basis. Ive talked about some of them here in this blog including setting up routines, using rewards to motivate kids to try new behaviors, and strategies for helping your child engage with reading. These strategies are essential components of effective ADHD treatment plans, and can go a long way in helping to set your child up for success. However, these behavior plans do little to address underlying motivational challenges. To truly address motivation and particularly motivation as it relates to academics and school, you need to also consider your childs mindset or the way that he or she thinks about his or her abilities and potential to improve. Im a big fan of Carol Dwecks seminal work, The Growth Mindset and how it helps all kids including kids with ADHD rethink success and failure and how they think about their own learning and intelligence. Individuals with a Growth Mindset believe that the have the ability to improve their intelligence and abilities through hard work and the use of good learning strategies. This belief is backed by decades of science showing that we do in fact have the ability to grow our brain and improve our intelligence. When children are armed with this knowledge, they are motivated to work hard and tackle challenges because they believe that they can improve and overcome obstacles with effort. In contrast, individuals with a Fixed Mindset believe that their intelligence and abilities cannot be changed. When faced with a difficult task in a subject that they are not good at, they will shy away from the challenge and instead put their efforts into hiding their weaknesses and avoiding the task at all cost. Sound familiar? Kids with ADHD may be more likely to get stuck in a Fixed Mindset than kids without ADHD. After all, theyve had years of experience with their ADHD symptoms getting in the way and preventing typical learning strategies from working for them. So, theyve inadvertently collected a great deal of evidence supporting the notion that nothing they do will help them improve in the areas that are hard for them. In addition, neuroimaging studies have shown that the part of the brain that controls ADHD symptoms (the prefrontal cortex), is also responsible for motivation and mindset. In other words, they may be biologically predisposed to fall into a Fixed Mindset more quickly. ABOUT DR.
