"Jerry,
Sorry to be so long in answering.
I am in the middle of a bible study on the power of words. I'm not going to say that you can just tell your hands they are fixed and poof! Healed, but that IS what the bible teaches us. …"

Andy Tulenko commented on Leanne Regalla's group Teachers"Haven't been on here in a while. Pretty busy with all the things going on.
I have Guliani's studies and I use them also for my students, but I like to start them off with some music. The faster we get to playing some songs,…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Relative Minor and Major in the group Teachers"One box pattern won't do what you are asking.
Tell you what, I'll give you my email and you send me a neck diagram of the entire major, minor and, pentatonic scales and I'll show you where you are getting confused and why.…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Relative Minor and Major in the group Teachers"As I see it, you need to understand what is commonly called 'The Nashville Numbering System'. Let me cover it very quickly. If you get this, what he is teaching you will suddenly become clear.
KEYS:
If we are going to…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Relative Minor and Major in the group Teachers"No wonder you're confused. I just watched one of the videos from them and he jumps from chord to chord without making it clear he is doing so. He had me wondering what was going on for a couple of minutes. His teaching style is the problem, not…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Michael S. Jackson's discussion Relative Minor and Major in the group Teachers"2 things,
1. I'd really love to know what program you are talking about.
2. You are confusing patterns with scales (same but different)
I'd be happy to help you out, but going back and forth in a typing discussion takes too…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Valerie Elizabeth's discussion At a deadlock with my students in the group Teachers"I agree. I have a pair of young sisters and together, they can't get anything done. They are too busy telling each other what to do. Once I split them up (Parents agreed) they started to progress. Split the lesson time…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Valerie Elizabeth's discussion At a deadlock with my students in the group Teachers"You're the Teacher. Sit down and do the metronome work right there with them in class. When they wander off, stop them and start over. Use a song they like so that they'll want to get to the end successfully. Be the…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Valerie Elizabeth's discussion At a deadlock with my students in the group Teachers"Nothing wrong with Good Riddance. Its a fairly easy song, even for beginners.
Almost all beginning students have trouble with timing. It keeps them from the successful accomplishment of many basic practicing goals. I strongly…"
Andy Tulenko commented on Leanne Regalla's group Teachers"Terry,
Your students problem is fairly easy to solve. He has no timing skills. Get a metronome and do some pattern studies for a month or so and I bet that fixes his ability to play. If you need some help putting some patterns…"
Andy Tulenko commented on Leanne Regalla's group Teachers"The only problem with anything FREE is you're going to get people that think they might want to learn to play. Out of 100 you might actually get 1 or 2 students worth having. If you're not paying for it, it won't mean…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Terry Angelli's discussion Another revenue stream? in the group Teachers"I use my professionally. I play at least 1 gig a week, and we are planning on starting more pretty soon.
I rent my place so I can't put it on my current insurance. And if something were to happen (God forbid!) I could walk in to a…"
Andy Tulenko replied to Terry Angelli's discussion Another revenue stream? in the group Teachers"This can be a very good thing. I would take the added precaution of insuring each one. You can get insurance for the lot at a really good price. I have $20k of insurance on my Takamine and it costs me about $130 a year. That…"
Andy Tulenko commented on Leanne Regalla's group Teachers"Keep us posted on how you do, and how you get along with the theory."
Andy Tulenko replied to John Horne's discussion Where do you sit in relationship to the student? in the group Teachers"I sit mostly on the students right so I can see their hands. When I sit that is... I also move around the room and have a spot behind the students fretting hand where I stand sometimes. I simply can not sit for that long all day. I…"
