Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") Last week in my private Greek zoom lesson I learned the verb κοκορεύομαι which means “to brag” — perfect timing because expertise.com has awarded me Best Guitar Lessons in Nashville -- 5 years in a row! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198241149-OVKTF82AQR1PW8LB0TQC/best+guitar+lessons+-+distinguishedteaching+2023.png Blog - Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") And a big thank you to distinguishedteaching.com for their very own Best Guitar Lessons in Nashville award -- it's a lot to live up to, but I'll do my best :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198243437-X0R54P73BAISNEW4U81L/E+%26+K+laughing.jpg Blog - Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") Making music is a joy, so my first job is not to mess that up! My approach is flexible and collaborative, putting the focus on what each individual student is interested in learning (motivation and inspiration are key), and my goal is to work as hard as possible while having as much fun as possible :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198245040-XHRO9DL58VF3CLBSRN5E/cartoon+weight+lifter.jpg Blog - Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") Unfortunately, the idea of “fun” doesn’t get the respect it deserves. After all, isn’t that really just for kids? And what do they know about learning (hint: a lot!)? We associate maturity and adulthood with, among other things, discipline, hard work, and the ability to delay gratification which equip us to power through difficult things that may take a while to pay off. This is essential since most worthwhile goals require sustained effort over time. The problem is that a lot of instruction winds up in a lopsided approach which over-emphasizes the discipline side and becomes a dry, joyless slog — no wonder so many students quit! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198246983-2SHJON2YH0X0HRSNZSA7/IMG_0361.jpg Blog - Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") If we’re going to learn and grow, we will, of course, need to work hard to embrace the challenge of developing new skills, both physical and mental. To me the secret to success is finding just the right balance of working hard and having fun. When we’re enjoying what we’re doing, our brains are smarter, more relaxed, and more open than when we are feeling anxious and defensive, so we can easily connect with our child-like curiosity, better tolerate the inevitable stresses and frustrations that come with stretching outside our comfort zone, and more fully engage in the natural process of learning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198249467-HPK9JZF6BMSVH13SHA2P/DSC_4044.jpg Blog - Κοκορεύομαι! (trans: "I'm bragging!") One important advantage of private lessons is that I can home in on what makes for the best balance of hard work and fun for each individual student: his/her learning style, personal preferences, musical taste, goals, etc. We are all different, and figuring out how to create the best learning experience for each person is what has kept my job so interesting for over fifty years (no, I’m not 85 years old — my dad was also a guitar teacher, so I got an early start!). https://www.ellenbritton.com/blog/2023/1/20/try-this-pick-up-your-guitar-every-day monthly 0.5 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198253586-FGGV0SM2NVIFWNRAD6JH/IMG_0352.JPG Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day - “Pick up your guitar every day.” This very simple advice is the first suggestion I make to each and every student regarding practicing. Becoming a better guitar player starts with the obvious step of playing regularly. Most of us, on most days, can find a few minutes to practice — IF it’s convenient and enjoyable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198255560-9UJAGVNYOIK7Y2X097NT/guitar+on+stand+in+apt.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day Make this as easy as possible by leaving your guitar out, preferably on a stand or hanging on the wall. Keep it in a convenient location right in the middle of everything: next to the couch, by your bed, in your office. A guitar in a case under the bed or in a closet or up on the third floor is a guitar that is rarely played. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198257122-F5DDFY368JSL23YXOXH0/clock.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day Another trap is putting a lot of pressure on yourself about how long you will practice. Try doing the opposite: pick up your guitar even if you only have a few minutes to play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198259198-S5Q731AL2RXGZKAQ7RGL/mom+guitar+baby+blue+eyes.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day These bite-size chunks of time spent reconnecting with your guitar can be very valuable, and they are much easier to come by than a whole uninterrupted hour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198261304-Q9SUM9V4C1J3AW28APO0/DSC_4059.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day Five or ten minutes may not be enough time to tackle a new song or master a difficult technique, but you can make the most of it by choosing one simple thing (a new picking pattern or strum, a new chord combination) and repeating just that element. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198263124-OJGBQQ5PC3ITBFDJVWAD/brain+hemispheres+guitar.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day Don’t have the concentration or motivation to focus on anything new or challenging? That’s fine — pick up your guitar anyway. Even playing a couple of familiar chords briefly will wake up your guitar brain and facilitate the learning process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198265097-UTAC11DZZ24X3W5KAG5V/tortoise+hare.jpg Blog - TRY THIS: pick up your guitar every day Odds are there will come a day when you don’t pick up your guitar. Don’t berate yourself — all or nothing thinking (“If I don’t practice every single day, I may as well quit!”) doesn’t work very well in the long run; just make a point of picking up your guitar the next day. Who would you rather be — the tortoise or the hare? https://www.ellenbritton.com/blog/2022/12/16/star-student-teresa-tuan-woman-of-many-talents monthly 0.5 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198268792-IAD229QXUMAW0JO2T8LQ/Teresa_Tuan_head+shot.jpg Blog - STAR STUDENT Teresa Tuan: Woman of Many Talents - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198270186-2JPG3TARZK8H42HF9HNA/Teresa+Tuan+Paramount+group+pic.jpg Blog - STAR STUDENT Teresa Tuan: Woman of Many Talents - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198271954-SM5EGHNHPRJ5CB7A3BME/mini+guitar.jpg Blog - STAR STUDENT Teresa Tuan: Woman of Many Talents - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ellenbritton.com/blog/2022/10/30/thank-you-star-student-maggie-rose monthly 0.5 2023-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64fba9265d3a7201e9e9c280/1698198276046-WQUUL3F3HE7C077MQCCK/Maggie+Rose+white+guitar+crop.jpg Blog - Thank you, STAR STUDENT Maggie Rose!
